What do we do about the Earth’s greatest green house gas… H2O? H2O traps a much higher heat than CO2, yet there has been a push towards hydrogen cars which emit H20. I guess I am confused?!?!?

All my life I’ve listened to how much we humans are causing the ice pack to melt and how it’s all our fault. If I remember history correctly, 400-500 years ago we had a mini ice age – before the industrial revolution – before cars.

And I’m told that 10,000 years ago we had a major ice age, even before humans figured out how to warm their caves. So if ice ages come regardless of man’s influence, how are we at fault? For making it come 100 years sooner? Big whoop. If history is any indication – it’s going to happen anyway – regardless of what we do.

I don’t understand why everyone keeps pulling the public towards the phenomena in Greenland and the Antartic PENINSULA…the interior of Antartica has been in a cooling trend for the last 30 years (increasing the size of the ice mass) and has not been impacted by “Global Warming”. There are plenty of scientific reports that identify this fact and also point out that the so called “models” being used to predict the impact of global warming are no better than throwing a dart and reading where it landed on the board. These scare tactics are shameless…if you really have a message to send to the public, you should let them know the full story and make an overall compelling case given ALL the facts!
