Fabrosman may I ask you a question? Before North America was "settled" when there was a lightning strike on the prairies- how long did that fire burn before going out? How much carbon was released by the stuff burned in the fire? A forest fire that started in the eastern forests- how long did it burn? When I hear others talk about the carbon released by "human activity" on the earth and how much more carbon is in the atmosphere now than in the past I have to laugh. How the hell do they know that? I you believe that the world is billions of years old and you are trying to predict long term changes in climate based on (let's be generous) 200 years of recorded data- that has to be the most assinine thing I have ever heard. No there is only one motive for "cap and trade"- to tax people and business to death. Here in Canada one of our most outspoken environmentalists believes that the earth cannot sustain all of the people and advocates exploration for other inhabitable planets. I suggest we send him and a bunch of his cronies out to find one.
