I have neither the inclination nor the time to go researching facts and figures.
And you seem to have agreed with whats said. Not bad for stuff i just gleen from here and there and store away somewhere in the depths of my brain.
And your response gives credence to other remarks you've made about your background through the forums.
So one would be an idiot to continue debating something they aren't prepared to research.
<----- Enter the idiot.
But i can't get my head around the carbon dioxide. I am uncertain of where your coming from.
Yes The earth cannot keep up with the Carbon Dioxide levels. The reasons are a given. Mankinds invasion of natures domains. The mass clearances of areas for crops and farming and domestication. We have upset the Harmony and balance of nature that badly it can no longer support us.
Everyone knows that plants take our CO2 and make it breathable oxygen. (Well we are told this by science and accept it as truth) But as we all know The populations keep increasing and the forests keep decreasing.
The current NZ policies say they want to (From here on in) Become one for one. For every tree you cut down. You replace it somewhere with another one. We need the plant world. And its time we made ourselves think very seriously about it and start giving back. A "renewable resource" has been bandied about for nearly a decade now. But to me it seems like its lip service only. Mining and Oil are not renewable resources. Why do we insist on maintaining these two industries.
With relation to the animals though. I thought it was the methane gases that were the problem not the oxides. These Methane gases adding to the Global warming problem and the thinning of the ozones. Hence the new taxes on farmers. If I was a farmer I'd be tempted to say, "Will if you want to tax me then stick your farm, I'll grow grain or rice instead" To the point where meat becomes a real luxury. Something only the elite will ever enjoy.
Yes we needed to tackle this problem 20 or 30 years ago. But now is just as good as never. But the governments need to ensure its done uniformerly than attack particular sectors.
(OK the POLITICS is an aside and off topic)
