But according 125 scientists, emmissions have only increased by 9% over 16 years and represents only 0.039% of the atmosphere.
It is a matter of who is right, who is wrong and which one do you want to beleive.
The UN is full of GREEN LIES and what their agenda is I am not sure. One thing I am sure of is they leading the world in the wrong direction with their unfounded propaganda.
With the overall percentage in the atmosphere being reasonably low (compared to the dominant substances like nitrogen) it can be a little misleading. Consider having a bucket of water in a white bucket. It takes a relatively small (as a percentage) to have a noticeable effect.
"Emissions are growing in line with the most extreme scenario".
"We cannot be that stupid as a species"
Some of the memorable quotes for the UN climate negotiations in Doha yesterday when "Nature" the foremost scientific journal published the Global Carbon project report which found that emmissions had increased 54 per cent since 1990.
Of course, the number of cars since then has increased 400% and world population has doubled since 2000.
As for the United Nations, the US have a veto over it, (motions to be carried require more than an 85% vote as the US excercise 16%) so you can be sure that even those figures will be on the conservative side.
We are going to need solar powered air conditioned caves.
Opps, as most of you seem to live in caves anyway.
how can you be wrong when we are in the crucial decade and at a tipping point into perpetuity..
its quite alarming seeing the emotive diatribe being sent out over the media... desperation seems to be kicking in, better wheel out the expert mammologist from his waterfront hideaway

Anne Karpf is not a climate-change sceptic, she's a climate-change ignorer. She knows it's happening – the floods, Arctic ice melt, Hurricane Sandy – but after a flash of fear, helplessness takes over and she 'tunes out'. Read her confessions
Nah white. There is no "crucial decade " or "tipping point": Everyone who actually reads and understands the evidence for what is happening privately agrees we are past the point of no return. It is now a question of how bad it gets and how quickly that happens.
Of course it is not a good look to express such views publicly. We all have to keep up a brave face and pretend that there is some rough chance this can all be turned around somehow, someway.
Looking for miracles I suppose - but basically just ignoring it.
But keep your head in the sand mate. Deliberate ignorance is just as valid a way of handing the situation as anything else.
Or you can come up with a range of stupid, illogical comments that are meaningless but throw some pixie dust into the air.

Wasn't that clear enough ? When you go through the details of how quickly CO2 levels are rising and what is required in terms of mammoth reductions of CO2 levels to have even a reasonable chance of stopping the process one understands why the game is almost certainly over. The article in todays Age points this out quite clearly.

Provide evidence noco.
Give me a link.
Nature is the premier scientific journal in the world. Publisher of practically all the major scientific discoveries. Hardly propaganda.
It's not the only way.
But pretending it isn't happening is not a solution.
Henry of Huntingdon, the 12th-century chronicler, tells how Cnut set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the tide to halt and not wet his feet and robes. Yet "continuing to rise as usual [the tide] dashed over his feet and legs without respect to his royal person. Then the king leapt backwards, saying: 'Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws
As King Cnut illustrated, it is futile for rulers to pretend that they can circumvent the laws of nature.
Don't go much with your analogy ... a better one would be to hold a brick over high your foot then let go and allow the laws of nature to take their course. So that leaves us now with the intellectual calibre of the metaphorical foot owner. I've moved my foot... but it Looks like your off to Hospital Cal.
The metaphorical movement of my foot is by imagining a future rather than being sold one by the industrial state, and you tilt at that windmill every time you fix something or buy quality or grow food to eat and attempt a greater understanding. It's fun but It's not an aspiration that's heavily sold, like say a shopping trip to Hong Kong or what ever other way you wish to paint up your self aggrandisement; as so deftly dictated to you.
