Here is an interesting concept.
It is politcally expedient to have a climate related debate so that voters can make a stand. Remember the Franklin River issue.
The truth should never get in the way of the debate. We have not been keeping records long enough to understand how climate change is brought about. It is our own arrogance that assumes we know what is going on right now.
Water vapour is the real green house gas by quite a large margin. CO2 is very small in the scheme of things.
Using wikipedia is not a reliable reference source in arguments like this. It will never be accepted academically because of its sourcing.
Only the infantile truly think we are going to change the climate. One volcano a year will pump out more CO2 and sulphur dioxide than we are ever going to do with burning fossil fuels. Added to this is that solar minimums of recent times have been more active than early last century. A higher output on minimums (not maximum) has a far breater influence on weather than anything else.
Like many others I was initially convinced of our influence in the whole climate until I started doing some serious reading. The climate of this planet is in continual change, WE DID NOT CAUSE IT! Once you start paying the higher taxes you will regret thinking this is all too real.
Plenty of people being deluded just so that someone can get re-elected down the track. Oh well their choice. This old addage comes to mind. Believe half of what you see and non of what you hear.
