I do agree that the planet is warming, the same as it has been doing for ever.
I agree that as our population increases humankind has had more of an impact than it did previously, but I also know that one volcano spews out more CO2 in a day than people do in a year and to think that we the human race have the capacity to reverse this is nothing more than a god complex

If Australia stopped all of our CO2 emissions it would only make a 0.04% improvement in the problem, for that we have to waste taxpayer money to all these private companies to produce those terribly in-efficient fans and sun panels so that they can make their shareholders a profit

As to general pollution we should do all that is practical to stop it, we are still pumping factory waste into oceans and rivers, we are still producing too much waste which has to go somewhere, we are still cutting down our trees, even cutting down some of the few remaining growth forests

40% of the oxygen that we breathe comes from our green trees and growth, yet we are cutting down trees that have taken up to 300 years to grow and will never be seen on this planet again once they are gone.

One of the main problems with your statistics that you say prove that man is responsible for all wrongs is that they remove mother nature from the equation, how can you come to a conclusion when you remove the reason for change from the augment, Mother nature has been changing the environment for millions of years and you think that we can ignore that.

GW which now shows not to have changed in the last 15 years is a furphy and if we are to look at a change in the climate we have to look at something like a thousand years as anything shorter is too small a sample to be accurate

The green government needs to get their act into gear and get their priorities right, change what you have the ability to change and don't worry about the things that are not practical or economic to change

It's not what we don't know that gets us into trouble - it's what we know for sure that just ain't so. You might "know" that one volcano emits more CO2 in a day than humans could in a year, but meanwhile in reality it's almost the reverse: the sum total of all annual volcanic CO2 emissions averages barely 1% of human emissions.
