    I have little doubt that climate changes all the time. The question for me is, how much do we impact it?

    Ok, answer this question:

    If I give you a dial that allows you to magically set Earth's temperature to any temperature you want, where will you set it?

    It's natural.

    There's no such thing as global warming.

    Agreed. However, IMHO the potential cost of waiting to determine a definitive answer before acting is too great.

    It's much more than just temperature, its the overall degradation of our natural world and the destruction of CO2 abosorbing mechanisms. Although, my answer to your question would be Pre-Industrial revolution levels.

    And how do you know that's the correct temperature / CO2 level state?

    Two questions: First, how much are you willing to pay to not contribute to warming?

    Second, how do you get other countries to go along? It doesn't help to shut down our electrical grid if China doesn't go along.

    Any problems man has contributed to Global Warming are due to over-population. This can be easily solved by Global Nuclear War.

    The temperature needs to always be what it was 30 years ago. That is a scientific fact!!! :MARIS61:
