Cheeky Kid, my son in law has a PHD in atmospheric chemistry from UV Irving and studies global warming. Recently under a NOAA grant at the university of washington.

He says the vast majority of scientists studying global warming believe it is happening and is caused by man.

The truth of the matter is that if the scientists have difficulty pinning down global warming (as it requires understanding molecular chemistry) how correct can any layman be?

I'll give you a simple way to understand it. They have been able to go back and look at atmospheres for the last 650,000 years using ice cores. At no time during that period did carbon dioxide levels reach 300 parts per million. They are now almost at 400 parts per million.

There is a near perfect correlation between temperature and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Of additional worry, is that the permafrost is melting in the far north around the world i.e. russia, canada and alaska releasing huge amounts of methane. Methane is 20 times more a global warming gas than carbon dioxide.

Last, in the permian age 290 million years ago 95% of all life on earth was wiped out when the temperature of the earth rose 5% and caused the melting of methane ice which raised the temperature another 5%.

Nuclear energy seems the only out, the human species has, but it is dangerous if not cared for. The 100 billion dollar clean up at Hanaford in washington state is a testimonial to that.
