I know there are conservative politicians who support GW, including Bush, Gingrich and McCain. I have posted that previously. I still think the debate largely breaks down along political lines, especially in this forum.

I am still waiting for someone on this forum to make the statement that they are conservative and still support GW.

I have to stop posting on this thread.

Is it because my questions only require a simple yes or no that they go unanswered?

If so, what would be the difference between with man-made contributions and without?
The difference would be rather we reach 300k at 11:59 Dec 31,2050 or Midnight Jan 01 2051

Is global warming harmful to the planet? Or is merely harmful to mankind's current state of existence on the planet?
The latter

What's going to be the most harmful to the planet, is the irrational responses, that are so off the wall, so far out in left field, it makes you wonder how we can be labeled one of the smart animals of this planet.

That is the scary part, how many times has something been forced upon us, for our own good, only to find out later, it made the problem worse.

I'm not following the " business as usual " mindset, I think we should continue to search out friendlier alteratives for our energy, what I'm saying is, let mother nature run her course, use those technologies to adapt to the changes that are sure to come with or without anthropogenic influence, not alter our natural climate course.

Your mistake is in forgetting who wrote that label for you.

If you could poll "the animals" the label may well be different, don't you think?

I do.

Yes, it's all our fault, it couldn't be the sun.
