  • Advice for Obama: Spend Green Today, Tax Green in the Future [View article]
    Glen W. - - -

    You limit your horizons if you 'detest "argument from authority" '.

    You make some valid points, but their value is greatly diminished by your stated intention of ignoring any counter points from "authorities".

    As I understand it, your contention that CO2 is increased by warmer temperatures causing outgassing is correct. If CO2 increases from all sources produce temperature rises and increased temperatures produce more CO2 emission, isn't this a self-reinforcing mechanism? Doesn't increase of CO2 from any source add to climate warming? Isn't this a spiral?

    Glen, please try to put it all together and not cherry pick facts. If John Lounsbury didn't include every factor in the debate at least he started his discussion with "A list of facts (admittedly not complete) and examples of scientific reasoning:" Lounsbury showed some openmindedness in his discussion. If you disagree (he invited disagreement at the end of his comment), please do so in the same spirit.
