We do not control the atmospheric gas balance or temperature globally.
We do control it locally such as creating heat islands around cities for
example but the over all climate picture is not determined by mans
activity.

There are many temperature cycles that can be seen over time. We may be
at the end of a 20 year or middle of a 40 year warming trend. The
average temperature may start to decline now or may increase another
0.6 degC yet then decline.

Nobody knows what will happen yet because we do not have reliable
temperature data beyond 150 years and global climate models are a joke
so speculate all you want about what the future holds.

Inconveniently, the single biggest individual energy user and propaganda
provider in the USA is Al Gore.

So you're willing to bet your future and that of future generations on
the slight possibility that you're right. By the time we know for sure,
it would be too late to act. If it turns out you're right, we will still
have cleaned up the environment in an effort to stop global warming,
even if it doesn't happen. Either way we win.

What part of "man does not influence the climate" do you not understand?

The only way to stop generating CO2 by our economy is to kill it and you
would have to get every other country to kill its economy or it is for
nothing. We all go back to the stone age globally. It is not going to
happen.

Personally you can do your part by holding your breath.

Nothing wrong with being energy efficient and re-cycling waste so as to
not pollute but it is not going to change the climate.

You realize that trees and other plants generate particulate matter
right? Chances are scientists will figure out that all the cars sucking
in air and burning the natural particulate matter in it through filters
and catalytic converters put out less particulate than went into the
engine cleaning the air. Cleaner air next to the ground will let more
sunlight hit it warming the earth raising temperatures in the lower
atmosphere. How's that for a theory? Makes more sense than the global
warming crowd makes. So go out there and drive an old car that generates
more pollution and particulate matter into the air to fight global
warming like Al Gore does.
