It's also foolish to believe we can control or predict Nature. It's never been done successfully. The novel State of Fear covers this topic well.

There are only so many ways to get things moving and fear is usually a dependable motivator. Trouble is, the proof is in a pudding that won't be baked for another 20-30 years, requiring a leap of faith that for many is just too much when there are more immediate issues. @Harrison Not all greenhouse gases are created equal. A little bit of CO2 goes a long way. A littler bit of methane goes an even longer way. This is Science 101. We know we have dumped a s*tload of CO2 into the atmosphere as a result of machines. It is foolhardy to think that it won't change SOMETHING. .-= Windroot´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.windroot.com/everyman/archives/truths.htm" rel="nofollow">Inconvenient Truths</a> =-. @ vulcanhammer I don’t disagree with you all that much.

Different gases have different abilities to trap and/or retain heat. For example: Based on concentrations (ppb) adjusted for heat retention characteristics Percent of Total Percent of Total --adjusted for water vapor Water vapor ----- 95.000% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 72.369% 3.618% Methane (CH4) 7.100% 0.360% Nitrous oxide (N2O) 19.000% 0.950% CFC's (and other misc. gases) 1.432% 0.072% Total 100.000% 100.000% THEN take into account man's "contribution" towards CO2 is a whopping 0.117%. Water vapor is the BEST trapper and holder of heat, not CO2. http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html Nothing is settled. Different gases have different abilities to trap and/or retain heat. For example:

Based on concentrations (ppb) adjusted for heat retention characteristics Percent of Total Percent of Total –adjusted for water vapor
Water vapor —– 95.000%
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 72.369% 3.618%
Methane (CH4) 7.100% 0.360%
Nitrous oxide (N2O) 19.000% 0.950%
CFC’s (and other misc. gases) 1.432% 0.072%
Total 100.000% 100.000%

THEN take into account man’s “contribution” towards CO2 is a whopping 0.117%.

Water vapor is the BEST trapper and holder of heat, not CO2.
