Gas Prices - give me a break!

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

OK Del, I have to respond. We live on a self-balancing planet. I believe
that by "green house gases", you are referring largely to Carbon Dioxide.
Plants use C02, and sunlight, to produce food. They take in C02, and release
oxygen. That's why plant and animal life has a symbiotic relationship.The
more C02, the better plants thrive, the more O2 they produce, the more
animal life the planet produces. Also, the warmer the climate, the more
active the chloroplasts in plants become, hence a faster chemical turn-over.
    The only peers reviewing these findings of yours, are select
"scientists" from fields other than meteorology. Like Carl Sagan, who was an
astro-physicist. The National Academy of Science has not endorsed any of
this clap-trap.
    It never will, because it's not real science, it's politics. Rest
assured, though, at the first indication of these theories having some basis
in fact, then the world will indeed take action, and it won't be too late.
The very thought that this could happen overnight, when the statistical
analysis over the last 100 years shows that "maybe" the climate has risen
one tenth of a degree, is absurd. That doesn't explain the "little ice age"
which occurred naturally, before industry, around the 11th century.
    Anyone can site hottest-coldest years, they could do that back to the
dawn of history. Unfortunately for you, it's anecdotal.
    P.S. I'm really sorry that Ebola didn't pan out.
