"The situation is so desperately serious that any delay could push us past the tipping point, beyond which the ecological, financial and human costs would increase dramatically," Ban said in a speech to delegates.

"We are at a crossroad," he added. "One path leads to a comprehensive climate change agreement, the other to oblivion. The choice is clear."

We should work on doing something on BrainMeta to help push for stopping global warming, any ideas?

That's a pretty cool idea, Max. We should think of something. While on the subject, here's my take:
First of all, Al Gore should stop beating around the bush (not the president) and put his money where his mouth is: launch his candidacy for president. So he can get my vote. That's an idea!

I faintly remember posting a response to this....but maybe it was on another post, anyways. I wrote a paper on this topic last year, and through my research I found that (sorry for not posting exact figures) the amount of carbon produced by man is far less the amount naturally produced by the planet itself.

The oceans and the forests of the planet are the cause of this, and it is a completely natural cycle of the planet. Its a game of survival of the fittest and its happening whether we want it to or not.

But I keep hearing that it's the consensus of climate scientists that global warming is man-made. What data do you have for your paper that others don't have, and how could so many scientists overlook it if it's from a credible source?

Point taken, I will get on this as soon as I have a spare moment.
