fred1 – sorry to disappoint, but climate change deniers like you are a loud but very tiny minority. Climate change is an accepted fact in respected scientific circles.

H. Fisher et al, "Ice Core Record of Atmospheric CO2 around the last THree Glacial terminations", Science, 283, (1999), 1712-714

all you have to do is to google under CO2 and temp increases and you have many sites on both sides of the fence. bottom line is the science is not proven either way. so doesn't make much sense to undertake radical government regulation to in a small way attempt to minimize CO2 emissions, since such emissions are not proven at all to cause catastrophic global warming.

fred1 – If you want to make claims, back them up with reference links and data. You can say anything you want; proof is a bit harder.

your comment that CO2 levels are higher than they have been in 650,000 years is an interesting one. what is interesting is that in the last 650,000 years the earth has been both warmer than it is now and cooler than it is now. in the distant past i recall a time when CO2 levels were at 4400 ppm or some very high number and the earth was cooler than it is today.

i am all about reducing emissions of pollutants such as mercury since that obviously has a bad effect on the environment. but regarding CO2 which we ourselves exhale, and livestock in this country emit more of GHG than all of the cars and factories in the U.S. makes it difficult for me to wonder why this is critical.
