Man made global warming is an hypothesis as well, even the IPCC report says it, that there is no final proof, no 100% certainty but just that it is very likely the reason. I already posted all the links and information that cast doubts about this man made global warming hypothesis and I just tell that we should not stop researching the other possible causes, like sun fluctuation, and we have to be open minded towards these other scientists and researchers, who often have more to loose as to win in not accepting the main stream vision of global warming.<br>

I do not need to do anything, I just do not see you engaging in this conversation with anything but hypthetical talking points.<div><br></div><div>Yes, IF we find out that CO2 has nothing to do with global warming (or we cannot stop it anyways), IF global warming is more of a concern than running out of fossil fuels and the growing ozone layer and IF our resources regarding those issues are severly limited we are betting on the wrong horse trying to reduce CO2 emission. Those are three pretty big IFs, I don't think arguing with these hypotheses as the main starting point makes a lot of sense, and frankly I do not understand why you think it does, other for the sake of arguing and going against the majority, or for not having to change a convenient lifestyle.<div>

Why do you need to tell i'm childish and that my argument are weird? Be factual, don't make any subjective statement please. <br><br>As for the resources, there are not so many brains really working on these issues worldwide on an everyday basis (450 lead authors and ~800 contributing authors worked on the last IPCC report).<div>

Now you just sound childish while making up hypothetical scenarios that suit your weird arguments, tbh. If our resources were that strained we'd be f'cked either way. This is not a Roland Emmerich movie!<div>

The argument is that human kind has a limited amount of energy, resource and time and it's better to put focus on the most efficient ways of reaching our goal. In a limited world, we have to prioritize and yes, these two things could be mutually exclusive if we realize we have to put all your resources in one solution or the other. So my argument is an argument, definitely.<div>

As others have stated, reducing CO2 emissions is a worthy goal even if they are not responsible for global warming. At the same time we have to plan for the scenario that we will not be able to stop global warming whatever we do, and act accordingly. Those two things are not mutually exclusive, so your argument is not really an argument at all.<br>

No, it was just insinuating that i'm ignorant that i didn't like, and transforming my words to let think i said something i never said.<br><br>One last thought about this topic.<br><br>Imagine one day, in let say 20 years, we realize the main cause of the global warming was not C02, but sun fluctuation. <br>
<br>And that we suddenly realize that during the last 20 years we took measures to cut-off C02 emissions and that these heavy measures didn't stop global warming at all cos in fact, we didn't analyse toroughouly the topic at the beginning and we blindly accepted for granted the C02 theory, even if we didn't have all the necessary data. <br>
<br>That's dangerous. Because then will realize we lost 20 years into looking for other solutions, like this one [1] or these ones [2][3], in the case the sun would be the cause.<br><br>Take care, warm thoughts ;) Charly<br>

<div> Re-read my messages please, I never said there is no global warming going<br>
on, on the contrary, we argued here on whether it was really man made or<br>
natural, like it could be assumed as the other planets in our solar system<br>
get warmer as well. And I never said 4°C in Switzerland is the proof that<br>
there is no global warming<br>
