Sep 25 2009 on poll How much CO2 does your car emit? |
Just wanted to throw in my two (five?) cents.
-CO2 in the atmosphere acts to warm it, so its not an outrageous leap to think that more CO2 would cause, on average, more warming effect. In fact, without this effect life wouldn't exist as we know it, the planet would be too cold.
-CO2 concentrations have been increasing dramatically since industrialization, part of the issue in proving such things is relying on models rather than having the direct observations, but see the Mauna Loa observatory measurements as an example of recent increases.
-Burning fossil fuels isn't the only thing releasing CO2. For example, biomass burning particularly in South America and Africa during the dry season releases tons of carbon as well.
-The best explanation of the global average temperature increase is found using both natural oscillations plus an anthropogenic component. I've seen it in multiple studies, but the one I recall off the top of my head is a presentation I saw at a climate symposium. This seems to be the general consensus in the field.
-There's always going to be someone who thinks their data is telling them something different than you think it's telling you. Conclusive proof in science is hard to come by.
-This is yet another great example of scientists being caught up in their own field and needing to do more than just publish another paper. |

Thanks so much for this! What a great idea you had...this will definitely come in useful for me as I always use gimp to edit photos, but save the originals unscathed. Thanks again! |

I think you did a fabulous job. I don't personally like the vista-type buttons so I'm not downloading, but I did vote good! Well done. |

This is a very nice theme, you did a very good job with it! I already have a lighter blue theme currently, but I've been looking for some nice buttons and I am happy to find some very nice ones in your theme.
And just so you know, I'm not planning on packaging it up and calling it my own or anything like that, just something for my personal use. I don't quite have the skills to come up with my own buttons yet. |
