So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Re: Increased temperatures; Decreased Temperatures

Oh, 400,000 years? Yawn. My peer-reviewed published research addresses an 18 million year period. I’m not pulling your leg.

During this 18 million year period:
1) temperature increased by 15 degrees Celsius (59F),
2) precipitation decreased,
3) plant life decreased, and
4) carbon dioxide in soil increased.

The best part? It was a very long time ago; about 250 million years before man.

Don't get so wound up by the climate change stuff you see in magazines and videos. You’d stronger cite stronger references if you were truly in this field. Don't overlook the NASA graph you enthusiastically crow about doesn't show a big spike in temperature for modern times. The spike is for CO2 concentration. While CO2 may be increasing, temperature is not increasing in any meaningful way. What 1 to 3 degrees Celsius, depending on the source? Some credible research even suggests its holding steady or even decreasing. While harping on CO2, do not overlook the huge benefit associated with increases in this compound. Ask any botanist; plants love increased CO2. And plants make more O2 for you!

I don't really want to get into it. Your side, the denial of the scientific consensus side, has won the debate. Let the chips fall where they may. Congrats, you win. :D

The biggest source of Methane (a much stronger greenhouse gas ) is something beyond our control.
It is not cow farts, although they contribute as we all do in our modest way!
But it is termite farts, :shock:

Just check among the apologists for Human caused climate change and see the smokers personally emitting CO2 and noxious vapours! Next think about the cutting down of treed areas to grow tobacco etc!
Do they make any significant efforts to curb their smoking.

Much of the economic models used are primed on buying and selling from production in every increasing volumes.
Look at the emerging countries who are aiming for that model .

Climate change is not an anthropomorphic problem, population growth is and resource exploitation is!

In the US livestock belches (enteric fermentation) account for 22% of methane emission. :shock:
