Why is it so important for you to believe (sorry to know) there is no global warming.
Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world. – Henry Kissinger.
In their 1973 book “Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions,” Holdren and co-authors Paul and Anne Ehrlich wrote:
“A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States. De-devolopment means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation. Resources and energy must be diverted from frivolous and wasteful uses in overdeveloped countries to filling the genuine needs of underdeveloped countries."
“The need for de-development presents our economists with a major challenge,” they wrote. “They must design a stable, low-consumption economy [see Agenda 21] in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided for every human being.”
The draft hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank...
The Chase Bank has had a strong connection to the World Bank, as three presidents (John J. McCloy, Eugene Black and George Woods) all worked at Chase before taking up positions at the international bank. A fourth president, James D. Wolfensohn, is also closely associated with Rockefeller, serving as a director of the Rockefeller Foundation, amongst other family-created institutions.
Rockefeller has also for many years hosted annual luncheons at the family's Westchester County Pocantico estate for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors, following the annual Washington meetings of the World Bank and IMF. These luncheons were held at the Playhouse. These regular meetings were also attended by the other internationalist in the family, John D 3rd, up until his death in 1978.

In the same book, Holdren and his co-authors made this observation about when a fetus becomes a human being: “The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being. Where any of these essential elements is lacking, the resultant individual will be deficient in some respect.”

what ever happened to reason? people still bring up "climate-gate" (why does everything have to have -gate? so cliche), even tho it was proven to be a non-event. it was investigated and the results showed no wrong doing by those involved.

now when it comes to global warming, or as the republicans re-branded it, climate change, its really hard to see where the problem is. is the climate changing? all info points to yes. does man have a hand in that? all info points to yes. can man change the climate? massive deforestation and the atomic bomb points to yes.

for a real quick look at the situ, look at l.a. in the '80's. orange haze and acid rain. cali changed emission standards and look, the air and rain cleaned up (not completely, but its way better). another reasonable look is the think about gravity. all that crap we put into the air is going to come down, usually miles away from where it was spewed in the first place. now think about all the poisoned farmland in the country. all the poisoned water. gee, i wonder how that happened, if not for man?

now, my question is this. we know that oil and fossil fuels will run out, so why wait and get pinched? why wait for a "mad max" scenario when people are cutting their neighbors throats for a gallon of gas? whether we "go green" due to climate change, or just to get off oil, is not that end preferrable to the do nothing end?
personally, id rather fix a problem (use of fossil fuels) before it becomes necessary, than wait for it to bite me in the butt (running out).
I am not sure what you mean by tipping point. By catastrophe I mean that many people die. That doesn't require very dramatical change, relatively speaking.
Some scientists even suggest that humans almost went extinct not too long ago because of bad climatic conditions.
Earth did not have more resources with which to handle it in the past as compared to now, thus moving the tipping point closer?

(Rain)forest's, or almost any type of vegetation, are CO2 sinks, not producers. So they reduce CO2 in the atmosphere.

Hey! When you have nothing of weight to argue a position dragging out zombies is a respectable approach!

Yes, although the net effect is a sink, also at a constant size. That is why we find coal, oil and gas in the ground.
