Ted, > Its true that the melting of the glaciers may be nature caused, not man made. I willing to concede that point. However, we do know for a fact that the burning of fossil fuels is fouling up the environment.....damaging plants, trees, animals and humans, and polluting the air and water.

So you finally acknowledge the difference between CO2 and real pollutants?

Yes, I understand but do you?

"Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide is one of the most common greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and is regulated through the natural carbon cycle, where carbon dioxide is emitted into the air and reabsorbed by vegetation and water. This cycle is upset by the emission of additional carbon dioxide from human activities. Because natural cycles cannot absorb these additional emissions, a large portion of carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere and increases climate change. The primary human source of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.

Carbon monoxide (CO): This gas is created when the carbon in fossil fuels is not entirely burned during combustion and can have serious impacts on human health. The majority of carbon monoxide emissions come from the use of fossil fuels in transportation. Lesser quantities come from electricity production and natural events like forest fires. Improperly-adjusted gas stoves can also release high levels of indoor carbon monoxide. When released into the air, carbon monoxide can exacerbate heart disease and damage the human nervous system. Carbon monoxide also has an indirect effect on global climate change, and is a criteria pollutant."
