Mindmeld, > Think about this. Cisco increased its stock price for years prior to 1996. The increases were roughly in line with its rate of growth. Then from 1996 through early 2000, the rate of increase in their stock price accelerated until the stock chart resembled a hockey stick. It was an exponential curve. With exponential curbes, the rate of increase is itself increasing. That is what is happening with CO2 levels.

Carrying the analogy further, we should expect the levels of CO2 to crash like the dot-com boom.

Meanwhile, CO2 levels are expected to continue increasing without limit, but at the same time we're told that we're going to run out of oil sooner or later. How do you jibe the two?

I say this all with tongue firmly planted in cheek, but my original point remains valid. The earth's environment is hugely complicated with an almost infinite number of variables to consider. I'm supposed to believe that one of those variables that is under man's control can have a bigger effect on the environment than most everything else?
