+1.

Neither of which were associated with modulation of CO2 levels.

There are far more serious forces at work that a minor variation in a
trace gas.

Unfortunately none of those more serious forces can be used to justify
ripping off the public. more taxes, more state control and more power
transferred to a centralised bureaucracy.

€œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€�
