Satellite data proves Earth has not been warming the past 18 years - it's stable

I thought they did a good job too in the first segment, then it became overkill.

Solar power is fine and dandy but economy-wise we can't afford it.
Too many jobs are based on fossil fuel and will be for some time.

i'm pretty sure we can take millions of years of shit out of the earth, burn it all into the sky within a century or two, and not do anything to change the earth.

You should understand that's not a valid argument to continue to put tons of carbon into the atmosphere

And plug those nasty volcanos.

If all the data were scientifically true, why does it still exist?
According to the show, by 2050 we will all be burning in a man made hell.

As the episode said, volcanoes present about 2% the amount of carbon dioxide introduced into the atmosphere each year, human activity is the overwhelming cause

I thought they said 3% but nonetheless the other 97-98% caused by man is a bunch of shit.
I remember a story on cows farting and causing global warming and warned we all should become vegetarians.

Bunny would agree.

How would adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at a rate 98% higher than volcanoes not cause a change in the environment?

It's odd, when volcanoes were the cause determined by the denialists, they were the overwhelming majority, to them the amount added to the atmosphere by volcanoes trumped human activity hands down! Now, when they realize human activity is actually the main cause of the increase in CO2, not volcanoes, at such a rate no less, all of a sudden it's not so serious..

This is how I know your argument is bullshit. You are inconsistent

The problem is we add carbon very quickly and take none up. When we (done deal) pump down the atmosphere and sequester all the carbon then we will have the natural 6th Extinction.

Instead, we will have the 6th Extinction, as man-made. Oh no. Same-same, right?

There are both natural and human sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release and respiration. Human sources come from activities like cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.

Due to human activities, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has been rising extensively since the Industrial Revolution and has now reached dangerous levels not seen in the last 3 million years. Human sources of carbon dioxide emissions are much smaller than natural emissions but they have upset the natural balance that existed for many thousands of years before the influence of humans.

This is because natural sinks remove around the same quantity of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than are produced by natural sources. This had kept carbon dioxide levels balanced and in a safe range. But human sources of emissions have upset the natural balance by adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere without removing any.
