Okay - let's examine this whole lib Global Warming issue from yet another angle.
Extinguish the Sun.
Yeah, I know it's impossible to do this,...so just use your imagination for a few moments.
Think on this...REALLY think on this.
NO SUN.
NO SUN.
NO SUN.
And then consider the vastness of this earth.
Having a hard time with that? Think about all the animals, the peoples, the land - the size of Canada, Russia, South America, and Africa, and how long it takes to fly from coast to coast...and then remember that 75% of the rest is covered by water.
Now think about all the stuff that humankind adds to the atmosphere.
Having a hard time with that? Take the vastness of the earth, subtract the oceans, subtract the forests, and the mountains, and then the fields, and then the orchards, and then the parks, then the backyards.
Are you getting a mental picture yet?
Perhaps this will help.
A bathtub full of water. A 1/8 cup of water is the entirety of man's impact on the warming of this planet. Did you notice ANY difference?
Man's impact is negligible.

True, man's imprint on this earth is visible, but it is surprisingly limited. It's easy for Hollywood lib types to think that the whole world looks like NYC or LA or a luxurious resort. Or that factories are on every square inch of industrial parks - but that isn't the case. They never see REAL countries, just those close to transportation hubs.
It's easy to be myopic...especially when you're based in an urban center.
And it's easy to be ignorant when you're surrounded by yes-men and have deep pockets.
It's also easy to tell regular folk to conserve when we have limited choices.

If the sun suddenly disappears, can I use a couple more squares and help heat the world?
