re: Global warming question for both sides....

The real question is, if you accept the premise that humans can affect global climate, what 'temperature' (year) should it be set at? 1990? 1800? 1200?
If warming is so bad, why is the temp we are now so good? Wouldn't warming open more fertile land in the arctic and antarctic regions?

Thus releasing more CO2 absorbing plant life.

it's more about where we are in terms of progress
ignore global warming's cause
the issue is how we deal with it b/c of the coastal concentration of humanity

Listening to commentary from opposing sides can be very confusing, but for me, one fact stands out. When you look at the small percentage of the atmosphere composed of CO2 (0.03%), you realize that any change in that amount has a much greater effect on the properties exhibited by that gas than ones that make up a larger percentage of the atmosphere. For example, if you combust enough carbon based fuel to increase the amount in the atmosphere by 0.03%, then you have doubled the amount of that gas. Increase the amount of nitrogen by 0.03%, and you increase the amount by about 0.0003%.
You might check my math, but the difference is almost nil for N.
