Which bit do you dispute?
1. Human activity is responsible for the unprecendentedly high levels of CO2
Not proven to be "unprecendentedly high levels"
OK - only unprecedently high compared to the last 700,000 years. The
antarctic ice cores are pretty conclusive.
2. The high CO2 levels are largely responsible for global warming
If that's the case why doesn't Kyoto address *all* sources of CO2.
You mean China and India? Politics.
But more likely the additional 100 ppm is human production.
So what.
Thinly disguised leftists screaming for state control of the means of
production is not a meaningful basis for environmental policy
I've found this is a common response from Americans: If you haven't
got facts to back you up, just accuse the other of point of view of
being driven by leftism, communism, fascism or whatever.
