Global warming is caused by the build up of gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane, which form a sort of blanket over the Earth, trapping in heat that would normally escape the atmosphere. The leading greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, a pollutant emitted from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural has. While it is true that there has always been some natural climate variability, the changes that are currently underway are unlike anything that has been seen before. Record levels of carbon dioxide are having a far reaching change over our weather, sea levels, and climate.
Get ready because the Chamber of Commerce and business are going to start freaking out about how any legislation to regulate greenhouse gases will endanger the economic recovery and small business but here's the news that isn't shocking to many. I can only imagine what it's going to be like to work at the EPA during the 60 day comment period. By H. JOSEF HEBERT, Associated Press Writer - The Environmental Protection Agency concluded Friday that greenhouse gases linked to climate change "endanger public health and welfare," setting the stage for regulating them under federal clean air laws. The EPA action marks the first ...

Scientists Have Begun To Worry Over The Global Warming Future Because Of Two New Potent Global Warming Gases That Where Not In Their Equation. Scientists are concerned about accelerated global warming…That is a given. But what they did not expect, were two new global warming gases that come from ancient plants and those that come from flat screen technology. Those gases where not part of the equation for global warming. Carbon dioxide is old hat compared to gases that are coming from ancient plants and from flat panel screen technology. These gases are are on a rapid rise. Enough to worry scientists about the ...

Earth Hour’s for sissies - this is for the truely damned A Canadian environmentalist group sheltering in a bunker say credit cards and food packaging bar codes are symbols carbon spewing culture, the official negotiating the release of children from the group said on Monday. Around 30 followers, including four children, from across Ontario and neighboring Quebec met last October and barricaded themselves into a hillside to escape the global warming their local environmental activist leader says is looming in either April or May. “They have burned their passports and say that all plastic (credit) cards and strip codes on food packaging are the ...

People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming. In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.” Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases...
This is not a web site for debating global warming. If you are interested in greenhouse gases, and the relative radiative forcing of each, and the (very important) amount of time a particular gas sticks around in the atmosphere once emitted, start with this Wikipedia summary primer on Greenhouse Gases:

For several years, Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his media sycophants have been telling the nation that a movement away from fossil fuels to biofuels is necessary to save the planet from the Left's bogeyman known as global warming.A new study by the Marine Biological Laboratory raises series questions about this premise.According to MBL's Thursday press release, "Carbon emissions caused by the displacement of food crops and pastures may be twice...
The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday released a copy of a long-suppressed report by officials in the George W. Bush administration concluding that, based on the science, the government should begin regulating greenhouse gas emissions because global warming posed serious risks to the country.
The industrialized world again in 2007 boosted, rather than reduced, its emissions of global-warming gases, the U.N. reported Wednesday, as international negotiators looked ahead to crucial climate talks in December.Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases rose by 1 percent between 2006 and 2007 among 40 nations classified as industrialized under the 1992 U.N. climate treaty, the treaty secretariat reported, detailing data for...

DALLAS (Legal Newsline) - Environmentalists in Texas this week sued in an effort to force the state to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.The lawsuit against the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality asks a Travis County judge to bar the state from approving coal-fired power plants until the state starts regulating greenhouse gases, which some scientists blame for global warming.The lawsuit by Public Citizen said...
WASHINGTON - President Obama is putting the federal government on a greenhouse-gas diet.
In an executive order signed yesterday, Obama directed all agencies to set the first-ever targets for reducing climate-altering pollution from government buildings, fleets, and federal workers' commutes.
The Obama administration said Wednesday that it is moving ahead to curb carbon emissions by issuing a proposed rule that would require the nation's biggest greenhouse-gas emitters to install advanced
pollution-control technology to operate any facility they plan to construct or significantly modify.
