  I certainly have noticed the melting ice caps, the changes in seasons, 
  the changing weather patterns, the shrinking glaciers, the increased 
  frequency of Category 5 storms, changes in the northerly habitat limits 
  of plants, birds and insects, etc.

  These palpable occurrences demonstrate vividly to me that we are in a 
  period of Climate Change.

  That is true. The existence of Climate Change was never an issue with 
  me. My issue is whether or not Climate Change is caused by Man, or if it 
  is driven by natural factors. I have not seen the logic or the evidence 
  which connects Climate Change with Man's activity. All I have seen is 
  the faulty logic that goes something like this:
  1: Man burns large quantities of fossil fuel which produces large 
  quantities of CO2.
  2: CO2 levels in the atmosphere are increasing, and CO2 is a GHG
  3: Therefore, Man is causing Global Warming and if Man reduces his 
  consumption of fossil fuel adequately, then Global Warming can be 
  brought under control.

  At this point in time, I am sceptical about whether it is Man or Nature 
  that is causing Global Warming. I simply don't know. I have not seen 
  credible and palpable evidence or fact. What I have seen are points 
  which support each side of the issue.

  Can we terminate the discussion on Global Warming Cause, and get back on 
  topic? It is here. Live with it.

  This is the Terra Preta List. Lets all work toward advancing Terra 
  Preta. Merely because a cow doesn't understand the workings of her 4th 
  stomach is no reason why she shouldn't eat grass.

  Best wishes,

  Kevin
