why dont we ban the car...I mean all the pollutants, CO, steam, unburnt fuel they emit. Then theres the plastics heavy metals that go into building them?
Better yet lets force everyone to use horse and cart freeway - pool lanes could be for carts and single lanes for horses or pushbikes.
But if the massive increase in draft animals cause it, then would it be "man" caused? It's the fault of our farty friends on that scenario.
October 19, 2015 I am excited to tell you that today, I am at The White House representing McDonald’s as we join “American Business Act on Climate” pledge. Climate change is a significant global challenge that we must address together as a global society. We all have a responsibility to re-evaluate the way we live, work and treat the planet. Given McDonald’s reach, we are eager to add to this important dialogue and create solutions that will address climate change.

This forum has four seasons: Spring, Global Warming, Fall, and Winter.
Is it just me or does it seem like the longer we have the debate the longer it will take to actually do anything about it?
LONDON, Oct 27 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A new global deal to combat climate change, due to be agreed in December in Paris, must be "the departing station" for more ambitious efforts to move the world away from fossil fuels, the United Nations' top climate official said this week.
"Over the next 50 years - and the timing is very important - we have to completely transform the global economy to very, very deeply decarbonise," Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. climate change secretariat, told a conference in London.
By the time the Paris summit starts on Nov. 30, countries that produce 92 percent of the greenhouse gases warming the world are expected to have produced national plans to curb their emissions and adapt to climate change, said experts at the meeting hosted by the Chatham House think tank.
Ocean water surged into neighborhoods on the Southeast coast on Tuesday morning during high tide, pushing gauges well beyond predicted levels. Seemingly overnight, spurred by sea level rise, we’ve entered an era where king tides compete with hurricanes in the water level record books.
...
The water level near Savannah, Ga., reached 10.43 feet, which was the third highest on record for the station. The top two records are 10.47 feet on Aug. 11, 1940, when a Category 2 hurricane made landfall on the Georgia and South Carolina coast, and 10.87 on Oct. 15, 1947, when Hurricane Nine made landfall in the same location.
Residents are saying Tuesday’s high tide was worse than South Carolina’s “1,000-year flood” in early October.

Snow cover in Asia is a big influence on NA weather. Could be a bad winter after all.
