Cap and Trade

Fact?

"Fact: when CO2 levels rise, plant activity rises to process the increased quantities of CO2"

LOL! What, plants will just breathe more CO2 in and pump out more O2? Come on. Or did you mean this will prompt a greater plant population? If so, where will these new plants be, especially since vegetation is disappearing daily due to human development?

If the "Fact"s don't set off alarms, or the above "fact" in particular, certainly invoking past dictators should. Nothing says whackaloon like name dropping Hitler or Stalin.

Anyway, I appreciate this detailed article

      Not nearly so much as the fanatics would like you to believe. In fact one of the many scares the AGW crowd uses is monster poison ivy and other plants.
      In fact even if the world did warm as they say it is going to, the amount of arable land would increase.

- Where Deserts used to be
  
  One of the effects of Ice Ages is the creation of deserts, due to water being locked up.
  
  One of the effects of a warming climate is more rain and retreating deserts.
  
  BTW since Global Climate emerged from a 500 year Mini-Ice Age at about the 19th, isn't a warming trend to be expected?
  
  While I realise sea levels will rise as they have been doing at a constant rate during the complete time periond of this Interglacial cycle most of the hype I see in the Media is pure alarmism
  
  here is an interesting website where you can adjust the sea levels and zoom down to the city block view to see the effects.
  
  England does not dissapear under the waves.
