  1. .....would rather see the US turn into a second rate 3rd world country .

    Isn't it being pesumptuous that the Great Creator of all things , seen
    and unseen , created the world, but we little insignifican nothings can
    destroy it? Sure we can dirty it, I understand that. I burn up when I
    read the left wing commie posts about the environment. To me it appears
    that this is just a power bandwagon that a few wackos jump on for a
    free ride.

    No more, please!

    life!

    I'm with you. People need to learn a little EARTH HISTORY. There were
    times when the suns output combined with a higher CO2 content in the
    atmosphere than we have now when there was no permanent ice at either
    pole. No permanent ice people. The volcanoes belch out more
    greenhouse gasses than all 6 billion people on earth. There is no
    'delicate balance' that exists on earth, if there were, we wouldn't be
    here, NO life would be here.

    "On the Big Island, we have a significant natural source of greenhouse
    gas. Kilauea volcano emits more than 700,000 tons of CO2 each year, less
    than 0.01% of the yearly global contribution by human sources. For some
    local perspective, this is about the same amount of CO2 as is emitted by
    132,000 sport utility vehicles (there are 118,000 registered vehicles on
    the island)."

    Whew, now that you've said that it will surely stop! 😉

    But seriously:
    What the world really needs is more reasonable environmentalists. Guys
    like MV hurt their causes by taking a group of people who have a similar
    idea, like "We should take steps to help preserve what we have" and pits
    them against each other with his "you're either with me or against me"
    extremist viewpoints.
    Given that choice by a whacko, any reasonable person would choose to be
    against him. When really, a more moderate approach like "We should try
    and ride bikes more and drive less" is something almost anyone can
    understand and participate in. Greater numbers of people doing a few
    little things is going to have a bigger impact than a few extremists
    doing or saying radical things.

    Far be it from you to convert that which is not fact into fact as well:

    "Present-day carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from subaerial and
    submarine volcanoes are uncertain at the present time. "

    Unknown (uncertain) quantities are not facts

    Estimates are not facts.

    If you only look back in time 4000 or so years, you are not studying
    earth sciences. you are studying recorded history.
