[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 61048208, member: 11790"] You are vacillating between two positions. On the one hand, you claim that we can't know if something bad will come to pass because of our use of fossil fuels. On the other, you claim that our current level of use is enough to prevent a catastrophe in the future. It is either one or the other. Either we know what levels of fossil fuel use will lead to disaster or we don't. What we do know is that increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will trap more heat than if that carbon dioxide was not there. I think it would be prudent to limit the amount of CO2 so that we don't push the system too far. Like you said, we haven't proven how much CO2 is needed to produce a catastrophe, so shouldn't we be limiting our risk? [/QUOTE]
