if you think everyone in the world, including aids ridden Africans, children working in sweatshops, and the families in India living in the city dump (who have to scavenge through the junk of the rich to just to support themselves), have ten american dollars to spare, then you're stupider then you look; and believe me, you look--not to mention sound--very, very stupid. --gave your video one star, and it didn't even deserve that...oh, don't even bother thanking me; YOUR WELCOME.

The main emission that scares me is the bullshit vapors from the eco-nutjobs like Gore. The truth obviously doesn't matter to them...say, like Gore's home, for example.

...historically DDTs and PCBs (which despite being on the Dirty Dozen list, are still in use in some places) have had impacts on Polar Bears through eating stuff that had these contaminants in them. Airborne particulates threaten polar bears through the processes of bioaccumulation and biomagnification. So next time you think your being smart by posting a dumb ass comment...add some references...this is science after all!

As sea ice melts, their ability to hunt seals is restricted, limiting a resource that makes up approximately 95 percent of their food intake.  Look up Vol. 19, issue 4 of the winter 2005 issue of the Earth Island Journal. As well, many emitters of CO2 are also emitting other particulates such as sulphates and nitrates

Not sure what type of "emissions" you are referring to, but if it is CO2, it is not about how much emissions natural systems cause, it is about how much anthropogenic CO2 emissions exceed those natural background levels and at what rate? With regards to Polar Bears, I would love to see your data on polar bear population growth. Polar bears are at risk for many reasons, including climate change.

In response, you both are full of shit! Have you read the executive summary of the IPCC report for Working Group I ...read it and then repost (educate yourselves). Without getting into too many specifics, volcanoes and "nature fires" are part of the world's natural carbon cycle, unlike the burning of fossil fuels.

load of shit

do ya studdies woman

volcanos make up over 70% of the worlds emisions and nature fires

Species extinction? That's nonsense. Polar bear populations have been INCREASING over the past 25 yrs. Talk about "priceless"...
