MessageHi all,
I did not read all of the article. (Sidenote: there is a donation button at the bottom. Maybe they are a little biased???)
Every issue will have both sides and both will be 'convincing' but only one will be right in the end. I have to go with the simple thought, the Earth is a closed environment like a bubble. The natural environment can mitigate some increase in carbon dioxide levels naturally. But using simple math, the more carbon dioxide producing objects ie cars, factories, people, etc. which is increasing ALL THE TIME the more carbon dioxide there is. The more carbon dioxide, the more heat trapped. We may NOT YET have surpassed temperature levels of past but at the current rate we will and eventually it will be too late. (There are some promising technologies being developed to decrease CO2 in the air.)
An experience I would like to share: I was in Hong Kong and China in the early 90's and the skys were clear and blue. Three years ago I flew from Beijing to Hong Kong and there was smog the WHOLE F***** WAY!!! I got off the plane in HK once going and returning to change planes and I couldn't believe it, the pollution was bad even in HK which is far south on the ocean.
Here is an excerpt fron a WSJ article, "On some days, almost a third of the air over Los Angeles and San Francisco can be traced directly to Asia. With it comes up to three-quarters of the black carbon particulate pollution that reaches the West Coast, Dr. Ramanathan and his colleagues recently reported in the Journal of Geophysical Research."

You can google china air pollution for more info.
Peace.
