In these "few decades", the average temperature of the planet has risen 0.7 degrees. How much do you think it went up at the end of the last ice age. Not many cars around to blame then.
There are very specific things that we are doing wrong to our environment.....The "sky is falling global warming" crowd is an agenda to sell books, put viewers in front of CNN and make reputations for competing crews of scientists.
Lets do something about the things that we can.
As to cars.....1 running lawnmower emits as much polution as 30 properly smog equipped cars per hour.!
Yes we should eliminate fossil fuel use. I like your thinking about the lawn-mower and yes you can build a wind farm in my town (a nuke plant not going to happen.) We have 2 wind farms being built right now the third is pending. I say join in and get us off are dependency of fossil fuel. What we have to do is find a way of using wind and solar power not ethanol. ethanol will only lead high prices for food and destruction of carbon eating forest.
I see that your against fossil fuel Like me. Why are we in the middle east? answer fossil fuel. Why are we helping to accelerate climate change fossil fuel.
Buy local food or grow your own. Use solar even on the Northeast of USA. Push for wind power in your area. and ride your bike more. Get us to hell off the use of fossil fuel and the world will be better place.
0.7 degrees is allot in just 100 or so years. Just look at places like Nome Alaska and ask that question to the Inuit. They are losing there perma frost at an alarming rate and they say this has never happened in all the years they have populated this area.(several thousand years) and with the melting of the frost comes more carbon. We need to do something instead of denying it.
