Secondly, I am only repeating what EXPERTS are saying, so you really ought to check your fact's before you come and say something like that. What's worse, you actually think that volcano's need to erupt to produce CO2? haha. that's a great one...
Thirdly, You don't even know what lifestyle I have, so please don't even bother bringing your assumptions to the table.
Fourthly, When did I say that we shouldn't invest in "green" energy. The only time I mentioned green energy was to say that it isn't as green as most people think... I'm not against green energy when it involves the environment, but talking about green energy in the same sentence as global warming, is ridiculous in my opinion!!!

I've heard no expert that tows your line apart from the ones sponsored by American corporate sponsored thinktanks. The ones that suspiciously have an invested interest in maintaining the status quo. They MAY be valid but untill a university, government research department or other non-aligned intellectual institution comes to the same conclusion then I will not take a word any of these guys say seriously.
OK... perhaps you got me with the volcanoes... but you will have to clarify the statement that volcanoes produce more CO2 than anything man made in relation to the fact that humans do not contribute significantly to global warming. Do you mean everything manmade? And does that rule out mankinds contribution? And is CO2 the only think we're concerned about?
With your "thirdly" I said people LIKE you... as in people who tow YOUR line. Now that we've clarified that I suggest you stop taking things so personally.
Concerning your fourth point... I said renewable energy and green INITIATIVES. These include at a political level which in this country at least, has corporations up in arms threatening to take their businesses offshore if such INITIATIVES are implemented. The views you hold are being used by these people to try and block these INITIATIVES by discrediting what the experts (that I find are credible) are saying. What I was saying was that there are other reasons apart from global warming which these INITIATIVES serve our interest. (i.e. I was making a point which reinforces my position rather than countering anything you were saying... though I suppose I should've made that clearer)
