The CO2 rate was up and down way back then based on Volcanic activity. Most CO2 today also comes from volcanos...one major eruption puts out far more "greenhouse" gas than man has done in the last 100 years...and we have several major eruptions a year. Mount Pinitobo actually dropped earth's mean temp by a couple of dagree's when it erupted in the 90's because of all the particulate matter in the air.
I'm sorry, but man isn't causeing earth to heat up, cool down, or have a brain freeze. It's just a cycle that both earth and the sun go through repeatedly...over and over and over again.
I do think man can pollute local enviroments to the point of utter destruction, so I certainly think we should manage our natural resources better. However, that doesn't require some paper pusher at the UN telling me what I should or shouldn't do. Each nation will either learn how to utilize what they have to thrive, or they wont and die. Evolution at it's finest, isn't that what you all strive for anyhow?
