Yeah- like SO2 which is poisonous to humans but does not "harm the 
environment".... The whole global-warming thing has become so politicized by Gore & his 
henchmen that non-agreeing info is routinely buried. If you'd like a new 
perspecive onthis, Dr W. Ruddiman's book "Plows, Plagues and Petroleum" postulates 
that most global weather shifts come from changes in the earth's orbit. There 
are 3 different such orbital cycles first noted in the 19th century. All 3 are 
trending toward cold. The mitigating factors seem to be farming- first done 
some 5000 yrs ago- that releases methane which is some 20x stronger than CO2 as 
a greenhouse gas. The second is CO2 from burning peat (since 3000 yrs ago), 
coal (since 2000 yrs ago) and since about 1900, oil. 
Additionally, billions of farm animals today release about as much methane 
daily as all the volcanos did millenia ago. So all these greenhouse-gasses 
voided since 5000 yrs ago accidently sort of balence out the cooling effect of the 
orbital shifts. Dr Ruddiman claims that had humans not farmed nor 
industrialized, the earth would be some 5-7 degrees COLDER than it is today, rather than 
the 1.4 degrees warmer that it actually is. He also notes that if we STOP 
burning oil and gasoline as the gore-istas want, in a century or two, things will 
cool back to their "natural" level. And snow in CA (or Central America!) will 
not be a news item. Interesting reading. Cheers- J DeRyke
