It is not about volcanoes versus man made gases, it is about when that unknown tipping point will be reached. Personally I like to brake before I am on the ice patch and sliding into the next car.

There are at least ten times as many scientists who do not believe in the "theory" as those who see it as a "religion". :chin:
I see it more as a global grab at wealth and it's redistribution than the concept of saving the planet. You find that more when you scratch the surface? Global warming nuts are like watermelons. :smoke:
I wonder if your thought mirrors those of the dinosaurs?
Or, early man going through an "ice age"?
Or, those who went through the "mini ice age" before the enlightenment?
Or, how long ago did water rain down on the Sphinx that caused all that major erosion? How much does it rain there now?
Opps! Climate change before SUV's?
If my chemistry teacher fudged the numbers to prove a point, and I knew it, I would have a reason to skip class and miss that single drop? :grin2:
I would almost find what you have to say is funny, except for the facts of what is going on in India and China at this time. And, it's possible effects on "global warming". Maybe you can stay away from volcanoes and approach the Indians and Chinese to reduce their output?
Tipping point? Only if you believe the fudged math and not in the earths ability to recover from natural or man made "issues".
In all it does not help that Mr. Gore (the greatest of the global warming scientists) still presents the "fact" that we have lost 40% and more of the arctic ice pack. Also, that a piece of ice the size of Texas is floating down into the Pacific?
Or was that the giant "land mass" of styro cups and trash that we were told exists (but recently has been much downgraded in size).
Is man a great caretaker of the earth? I do not think so.
But, if his contribution to "greenhouse gases" is less than a percent over overall natural causes I think your drop in glass is more like a drop in the ocean.
Maybe we can talk about how the US destroyed the ozone layer?
Uh, what? That came back? Shucks, it was not man and freon after all? :eek1:
