Oceans are a net producer of CO2 and to say other wise is absurd in any account. Man produces about 3% of the CO2 emitted each year, the other 97% is emitted by animals, bacteria, dieing vegetation, volcanoes and the biggest polluter of all, the oceans. Yes, developing countries like China do have growing emissions however they fall outside of the inequitable Kyoto Treaty, which by the way was signed under the Clinton/Gore administration who then failed to have the Treaty put forward to the senate to be ratified leaving it ineffective for the 3 remaining years of the administration. Another reason the developing countries have high emissions is because of low air pollution standards and the fact they attract investment (factories) from developed countries fleeing CO2 Cap and Trade schemes. The developed world does produce 75%+ of the world’s emissions and also fuels about 80% of the world’s economy. I have been reading about climate change from the perspective of both sides of the debate and when I read such absurdity like the Oceans remove man made CO2 well…… it doesn’t swing my vote but makes a skeptic of the greens logic and selective fact mining science. Here is to a healthy debate as scientific consensus is more or less an oxymoron.
