I think its pretty impressive that a scientist can tell us what the CO2 levels were 400,000 years ago. How do they do it?

Also here is the temp over the past 12,000 years. (not sure how they do this either)

This shows that 8,000 years ago it was actually hotter than it is today. About 1,000 years ago we went through a midevil warm period an about 400 years ago we went through a little ice age. Its possible that our CO2 emitions are pulling us out of our little ice age or it is possible that it may happen normally.

Although its still unclear to me that global warming is a fact, I know its a fact that when I'm in China I can't breathe. This can't be good for the environment.

I also know that cutting down rainforests is simply no good.

Some liberal politicians are making it so difficult for businesses that its driving the businesses out of State and out of the country.

The answer is not for California to get even more strict, the answer is for the US & Europe to impose conditions over China and India. We could lobby the Chinese gov't to prove their factories are meeting clean air emissions or importation wouldn't be allowed. I'm not saying its that simple but you get the point.
