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>

</div>By mentioning it in this discussion, you presented it as relevant to<br>
the issue. If you misspoke, you can say so and people will disregard<br>
that apparent meaning. But don't criticize people for responding for<br>
what you appear to say.<br>
