Carbon Dioxide, Global warming, And Humans

A voice of reason:

Ian Plimer is a geologist, a professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, is an unremitting critic of "anthropogenic global warming" -- man-made climate change.
Plimer gets especially upset about carbon dioxide, its role in Earth's daily life and the supposed effects on climate of human manufacture of the gas. He says atmospheric carbon dioxide is now at the lowest levels it has been for 500 million years, and that atmospheric carbon dioxide is only 0.001 per cent of the total amount of the chemical held in the oceans, surface rocks, soils and various life forms. Indeed, Plimer says carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but a plant food. Plants eat carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Human activity, he says, contributes only the tiniest fraction to even the atmospheric presence of carbon dioxide.
Imagine that. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is at its lowest level in 500 million years. Of course, I would like to see the figures on that, so would you.

If Ian is correct, then people like Al gore should be taken out and horse whipped. Ian's statement about the carbon dioxide level - if factual - would show that Gore and his ilk are - and have been - lying through their teeth.

Gore is no idiot, and unless he quit reading rock-solid scientific reports on the matter about twenty-five years ago, I suspect he knows the real truth. But he would still force upon us all Draconian measures of control, expense and disadvantage strictly for the accumulation of his own power and wealth.

That is beyond vile and disgusting, it is evil.

"Gore is no idiot"

Ah, but he is. As evidenced by the fact that he thinks the all rest of us are.

I didn't say he was smart, I just don't think he's an idiot.

Sorta like Fred Reed said: "Intelligence Officer" does not mean "Intelligent Officer".
