Affordable Solar & Wind

what do you think about this comment i saw someone post. your opinion, true or false?

"CO2 can only have a *limited* amount of effect on the atmosphere before reaching an equilibrium (this is the equivalent of the salination of water - water can only absorb so much salt before the rest just sinks to the bottom). That means that it doesn't matter how much CO2 we pump, once you reach equilibrium you can't do more damage with CO2 alone.

To the one who mentioned dogs: Methane emissions by cattle release more greenhouse gas every year than cars, boats, SUVs and whatnot combined. If there weren't people, there'd be more other animals all producing greenhouse gasses.

Did you know the temperature on Mars is increasing at a rate faster than earth? There are no people there, there are no SUVs, there are other factors contributing here. Other planets in the solar system are warming as well - some at rates faster than earth some slower. Unless GM started producing SUVs on Mars as well, then there's something else at play."

The first statement is false. Just look at the historical atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global temperatures. Both were much higher in the (distant) past. See the third section here:

http://mysite.verizon.net/mhieb/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html

The second statement is completely false. Not counting things like land use changes, livestock account for 5% of worldwide anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation accounts for 13.5%.

http://cait.wri.org/figures.php?page=World-FlowChart&view=100

The third statement may have some truth to it.

"Global warming could be heating Mars four times faster than Earth due to a mutually reinforcing interplay of wind-swept dust and changes in reflected heat from the Sun, according to a study released Wednesday."

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070404203258.5klhwqs4&show_article=1

But it's irrelevant. For one thing only about half of the planets in our solar system are warming, and others are cooling. If global warming were due to the Sun, then every planet should be warming.

On top of that, scientists have examined solar output and found that it's decreased slightly over the past 30 years, as global warming has accelerated rapidly.

Terrestrial Planet $111.53 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A terrestrial planet, telluric planet or rocky planet is a planet that is primarily composed of silicate rocks. Within the solar system, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun. The terms are derived from Latin words for Earth (Terra and Tellus), and an alternative definition would be that these are planets which are, in some notable fashion, Earthlike. Terrestrial planets are substantially different from gas giants, which might not have solid surfaces and are composed mostly of some combination of hydrogen, helium, and water existing in various physical states.

Ocean Planet $103.56 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An ocean planet (also termed a waterworld) is a hypothetical type of planet whose surface is completely covered with an ocean of water. Planetary objects that form in the outer solar system begin as a cometlike mixture of roughly 50 water and 50 rock by mass. Simulations of solar system formation have shown that planets are likely to migrate inward or outward as they form, presenting the possibility that icy planets could move to orbits where their ice melts into liquid form, turning them into ocean planets. This possibility was first discussed in the professional astronomical literature by Marc Kuchner and Alain Leger in 2003. Such planets could therefore theoretically support life.

Dwarf Planet $68.51 A dwarf planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), is a celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. More explicitly, it has to have sufficient mass to overcome its compressive strength and achieve hydrostatic equilibrium. It should not be confused with a minor planet. The term dwarf planet was adopted in 2006 as part of a threeway categorization of bodies orbiting the Sun, brought about by an increase in discoveries of transNeptunian objects that rivaled Pluto in size, and finally precipitated by the discovery of an even larger object, Eris. This classification states that bodies large enough to have cleared the neighbourhood of their orbit are defined as planets, while those that are not massive enough to be rounded by their own gravity are defined as small solar system bodies. Dwarf planets come in between. The definition officially adopted by the IAU in 2006 has been both praised and criticized, and has been disputed by scientists such as Alan Stern, who worked at the Southwest Research Institute at the time.
