So carbon based fuels are a renewable resource. You learn something new every day.

[wonderingmind42]

@netster007z Yeah, but the timeframe to "renew" them is a bitch--200,000,000 years or so. :-(

Perhaps you could share your source material with the rest of the class. I just did some checking for myself and didnt find anything of the sort on either the NAS or AAAS websites.

"In fact 2007 was deemed the year anthropgenic global warming died"

WHO deemed it dead? perhaps a page number from your source material,or maybe a URL?

It's the rate that matters most. In nature, oil takes millions of years to produce; we are consuming it at a much faster rate.

-No, no. Don't trust this man. He's a clown. Just look at what he's got on his head.

Tripple todays CO2 levels, and You get a maximum of 1.5 deg. celsius global warming. Make it 10 times what it is today: 2.4 C global warming. We will not be able to warm the earth much by emitting CO2, even if we wanted to.

We must find or invent a better greenhouse gas to emit, to avoid a new Little Ice-Age, as more and more serious climathologists now believe. CO2 is a little too whimpy to really matter.

How much money would have prvented the ICE AGE.... Global INSTANT COOLING?

There is NOT enought money in the world to STOP Mother nature!

@Gilbertronium You never fart? Must be a Sorority girl. jk

[netster007z]

@wonderingmind42 Yeah I know, for practical purposes carbon based fuels are definitely non-renewable. These videos have been pretty interesting.  You really go into each detail and calmly address many of the objections. I can tell you're definitely concerned for your cause.

we dont produce much methane....atleast not directly but we farm alot of cows, we make their herds bigger to meet the demand of meat and milk and they are the largest methane producers "A single cow can produce between 100 and 200 litres of methane every day" from the gauidian news paper. a ferrari will output 500grams of co2 per km my clio will do 120g/km and because most of us only drive 30-40miles to work thats not very much compared to the cow output even if u drove a ferarri.

look at that gut hanging over his pants. I am guessing this teacher has been hitting the mcdonalds drive thru too much. That is a poor choice to make if you are trying to combat global warming.
