Attack of the Greenhouse Gasses

It turns out that we are going to destroy the Earth even faster than we thought. Yay! I'm so excited!



For some reason the above link isn't even visible so you'll have to do the old copy/paste if you want to read the article.

OOOH! Scary article. I guess we are all doomed. Its been nice knowing you. I do think the earth is warming (the scriptures even tell us the climates will change in the last days). But, they always leave some things out of these articles. Like, how do we put a carbon dioxide muzzle on Redoubt Volcano (which is fixin' to blow), Mt St Helens, or any other self respecting volcano that spews thousands of tons of CO2, not to mention all the sulfer and acid compounds, in one small eruption. Or, how do we put a catalytic converter on a forest fire caused by a lightning strike (which creates tons of ozone and other electrolytic gases) to avoid such gases from woodsmoke. And, why don't we take account for the natural processes of the earth. If the climate gets hotter and dries in one area, it will certainly cause it to get wetter in another, which encourages growth, i.e. carbon capture. The geologic history of the earth shows many warm periods with luxuriant growth and capture of carbon (which is where the coal beds and oil comes from), followed by cool periods. These natural processes are still active, last time I checked. I'm not ready to commit suicide to avoid the heat yet.

That's exactly the type of sensationalist science that is designed specifically to make money. Let's all donate. We'll make the scientists rich.
