Notice that these are just a couple of the thousands of peer reviewed scientific journal articles that look at climate change. Sam, what you have mentioned is just a sucker punch. I could land haymakers all day on you. Influence of transport and trends in atmospheric CO2 at Lampedusa Atmospheric Environment, Volume 43, Issue 19, June 2009, Pages 3044-3051 F. Artuso, P. Chamard, S. Piacentino, D.M. Sferlazzo, L. De Silvestri, A. di Sarra, D. Meloni, F. Monteleone. This was a 15 year study that looked at trends of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and shows peaks in the periods 1995, 2001 and 2005 (1.9, 3.7, 3.2 ppm yr−1 respectively) that are characterized by high values and by intense biomass burning events. Impact of atmospheric CO2 and plant life forms on soil microbial activities Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2007, Pages 33-42. Another scientific article that looks at how soil microbes will be effected by higher levels of catmospheric carbon dioxide.

One little sucker punch Jake? Wow I was really hoping for you to back up well educated RFK (who pushes for wind mills unless it is where he vacations then he'll spend his money to stop it) or Al Gore how has made millions (without debate). I thought you were going to share some of your knowledge. You must be busy painting your rooftop white. In the 1970's these people wanted black becuse of global cooling ,but that was different I guess.

Sam, with all do respect, what the heck are you talking about? Who was the reporter who should have never earned a degree? Are reporting TMZ like news. Last I checked data reported by major universities around the world would make you sound like an ill informed idiot. Sorry...I'm sick of people who have not spent enough time to educate themselves on this topic that try to persuade the general public of opinions that are not backed up by peer reviewed data. Forget it...I'm just preaching to the choir.

Joe- The stats are cooked. Have you not been following the news? Some were taken from a students essay. 16 others are not from science but from enviromental groups. Scare tactics are getting really old. They cannot cool the planet if they want to. But we should put huge taxes on energy to redistribute as seen fit. Did you see the flim shown in Denmark with the little girl?

I understand Al Gore has changed his name to Punxsutawney Phil and is developing a new scenario(scheme) for combatting Global Cooling. :<)

Another huge hoax that we have to suffer under because the MSM acting as an arm of the DFL do not do their job and check the facts of their hallowed leaders and promote their lies, ad nauseum. And of course the lemmings just believe everything and I mean everything that spews out of their mouths. Get a brain!
