A Vital CO2 Discussion on Facebook:

There ought to be a law against volcanic pollution. Did this frighteningly political documentary mention volcanoes? A volcano in southern Chili is

      Inconvenient perhaps, truth however? The comments on that post are ridiculous. This Richard bloke comes off as a complete fool that can't cite any references other than a documentary (Seriously, he just says, "Google it"... my god), then go...es on to simply quote his detractors asking for honest citation of his sources a stupid Confucius quote (Basically calling them fools), and he doesn't even take the time to exert proper spelling and grammar in his responses. To a scientific crowd that's quite the smack in the face.

      I really, really, dislike that post. Regardless of my beliefs, I cannot take a guy who answers his comments like that seriously. No respect.

      gbeauregard, on the other hand, gets a +1.

      Dustin, I don't know the volume of C02 that volcano has spewed. I certainly have no way of proving the veracity of the statement, most of the people who could don't want to. Here is a letter from an old friend of mine from Hi-school. He ...has a grad degree in Meteorology. He works for Environment Canada. I know him personally. I have to leave his name confidential because this is so politicized there could well be witch-hunts: http://paradoxicalx3.blogspot.com/2011/06/grad-scientist-speaks.html And here is Rex Murphy's recent article:See More

    • Owen Abrey The column of ash is 18 cubic miles in volume or 40.96 cu kilometres. This translates into 22,960,000 cubic metres of CO2 in suspension in the column at any one time. I am not certain of the velocity of the ejectile so I can't calculate rate at this time. **http://paradoxicalx3.blogspot.com/** has the basic calculation according to current scientific measurment of the gasses.

      I dislike seeing people using anti-AGW arguments as justification to continue environmentally unsafe practices such as offshore drilling. Really reflects badly on scientific arguments that should be given more credibility. Sounds to me like... "HAH! CO2 emissions don't matter, so we can pollute as much as we want!" Commentators like that are one of the reasons, when you mention you're not entirely convinced about the validity of anthropogenic global warming, most people accuse you of being in the pockets of the oil companies.

      CO2 emissions aside, we've seen multiple occasions where oil drilling has had severe environmental effects. And regardless of whether or not we're causing global warming via carbon emissions, I believe we should be focusing more on developing cleaner, more sustainable energy sources; in that, I agree with the AGW crowd.

    • Owen Abrey It is a profound error to mix up the topic of a debate. This debate was not about off-shore drilling. It was about the comparable contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere. The moment you go there, you have ducked the question and conceded defeat. There is no shame in being wrong...

    • Owen Abrey Oj, the issue regarding CO2, is its relative significance. We have been fed alarm bells and called upon to pay hundreds of billions of dollars based on a false and corrupt stream of dogma. Read my recent articles in my blog for detail.

    • Owen Abrey Now, if we were to have a different debate, there is a vast common ground between me and environmentalists when it comes to global pollution. It is far more dire than CO2 production.
