Apparently 90 billion tons is an increase of less than 2 PPM of CO2 per year. Not much.

Ted, the perfect example of Al Gore politicizing science:

> The physical relationship between CO2 molecules and the atmosphere and the trapping of heat is as well-established as gravity, for God's sakes. It's not some mystery.

Gravity took centuries before it became a law. Even after that, it was subject to revision, most notably when it conflicted with Einstein's special theory of relativity. (That's when Einstein went further and finally came up with the general theory of relativity.)

I don't expect you or most people to understand the details, but I can say with qualification that Al Gore should NOT be ranking global warming with gravity. That is pure hubris, and I'm glad you posted that so that anyone can see.
