Where do humans and animals get 02?<BR/>4. Not only would the trees, plants, fish, wales, dolphins, humans and everything else die, but we could finally get rid of those nasty cockroaches!Rosemary Welchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400569923078517570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17537418.post-1150931677442016002006-06-21T16:14:00.000-07:002006-06-21T16:14:00.000-07:00That is what Mr. Gray argues.

If you breathe in pure oxygen, you will die. Can you live without oxygen?<BR/><BR/>Ah, the paradox! Take something like carbon dioxide, make it a bad thing, and voila! You have hysteria. May I remind everyone who has ever taken a science class what carbon dioxide is?<BR/><BR/>IT'T THE STUFF THAT PLANTS USE for photosynthesis! (The take it from the water in the ground CO2, transform it into food, exhale 02, keeping the C.) Sheesh. <BR/><BR/>Even stupid little me could figure that one out!

O...Rosemary, <BR/><BR/>Seems like some do not like the post. Oh well. The jury is still out on global warming.

Let's just have an academic argument and leave it at that.<BR/><BR/> I saw we ignore this fool.<BR/><BR/>____________<BR/><BR/>Now for my real comment.<BR/><BR/>I think that global warming is probably real, but that human activity only accounts for a small portion of it. Therefore treaties such as Kyoto are foolish at best, harmful at worst.<BR/><BR/>In order to have any significant effect we'd need 10 Kyotos. Forget about a high-mileage car and insulating your house, you can kiss all of your consumer electronics goodbye. And most of your winter heating. And summer AC. And any car larger than a Mini Cooper.Tom the Redhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989584196825992054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17537418.post-1150833743922340472006-06-20T13:02:00.000-07:002006-06-20T13:02:00.000-07:00If you don't believe that global warming is more l...If you don't believe that global warming is more likely than cooling over the next few decades, then you can make money for a charity of your choice. Go to here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.longbets.org/196<BR/><BR/>The bettor there believes that global warming will happen. You bet against him and both of you give a tax-deductible donation to the Long Now Foundation. When the bet pays off, all the money goes to the charity of the winner's choice. His bet offer has been sitting there unanswered for over a year. This is your chance to put your money where your mouth is, double the amount of money you'd normally give to charity, and make sure HIS money goes to whatever cause YOU think is worthy. Check it out.<BR/><BR/>(By the way, I'm the person you'd bet against.)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301230860904555513noreply@blogger.com
