It makes a difference for this reason - If it is man made than we can divert resources to preventing these changes. If the changes are only minutely influenced by our activities, that effort would be much better spent preparing to cope with the inevitable.

Exactly, and data shows it has been like this before. Shit, when our planet was forming and was basically one hemmroidal volcano CO2 was all there was.

Other things people do not take into account that affects our planet is not always IN or ON our planet. Differing distances or changing orbits around the sun, changes in the sun itself, just because we THINK we know how the sun works or THINK the sun always behaves in a certain way doesn't mean it can't do something out of the norm or do something that is normal for it that just hasn't been observed yet.

I think mankind has to big an ego to think they have the power to change or destroy the planet. The planet isn't in jepordy like the green peacers would have you believe, WE ARE by our own actions. We aren't killing the planet, we are killing ourselves. The earth is not dependant on us for it's health and security, we are dependant on it.

And LadyMischief... Nice Post

At any rate, this man made global warming IS a means to bigger pocket books. If it is cyclical like I and many others believe, very crediable scientists at that, then there is nothing to be gained from it.

However, if MAN is the cause, then regulations can be made to control who gets to pollute and who doesn't. Believe it or not there are people who are more willing to pay millions of dollars a year to buy pollution privileges than spend those millions seeking eco friendly solutions.

Just check out this video that was on CNN this week: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/tec...nhouse.ninenet

Most important is towards the end of that video, this:
"... companies will pay the government about $12 billion a year for permits to pollute."

So you tell me who profits off man made global warming? The same people drumming the theory into the publics head... GOVERNMENTS.
