I have worked in the energy sector my whole life. Small adjustments both to energy consumption and the efficient use of the energy can make a drastic impact on overall emission as well as value added to the economy. Japan in the 80's with energy efficient appliances and cars (look at shift in market share bc of this over past few decades). If you look at areas such as Germany who have subsidies and heavy regulations for renewable energy, they still operate at a trade surplus, and embracing things like solar energy has created a huge potential in regards to jobs and expertise for a future market. As for one, working for a middle-east energy company, we have contracted tens of millions alone for patent use and consulting within the past few years to these companies. This number will grow exponentially in the future. You could also look at Brazils experiment with ethanol which is not as strong of a case, but a valid attempt at that. It is also ironic to see the gulf with such a heavy initiative of finding alternate sources of energy when currently water is more expensive than use extracting oil here. I by no means like to see increased taxes, hence i work tax free in the middle-east, but to have the view you do is one-sided. You should do comparative policy studies by looking outside the US to see how the energy sector works. I could go on for days about this but I just hope the U.S. does not miss the boat. Especially since (in my person belief) we have the best trained engineers who with the proper initiative and foresight could embrace the opportunity that lie before us. Global warming or not this is the direction US business should be moving. In regards to bankrupting countries over a taxation policy, that is completely false.

So, if I am getting this right a square mile would 5,280 x 5,280 which equals 27,878,400 square feet, right?You mentioned that there are 268,820 square miles in Texas. When I multiply: 268,820 x 27,878,400 I get 7,494,271,488,000.That's seven trillion four hundred and ninety four billion two hundred and seventy one million four hundred and eighty eight thousand square feet in texas.Dividing that number by the world population that you mentioned of 6,870,500,000, I get 1,090.79 square feet for each person.It looks to me that whoever said you can fit the world's population into Texas with 1,100 square feet per person was pretty accurate.Am I missing something here? Help me understand here, a linear mile is 5,280 feet long. So, if I am getting this right a square mile would 5,280 x 5,280 which equals 27,878,400 square feet, right?

You mentioned that there are 268,820 square miles in Texas. When I multiply: 268,820 x 27,878,400 I get 7,494,271,488,000.

That’s seven trillion four hundred and ninety four billion two hundred and seventy one million four hundred and eighty eight thousand square feet in texas.

Dividing that number by the world population that you mentioned of 6,870,500,000, I get 1,090.79 square feet for each person.

It looks to me that whoever said you can fit the world’s population into Texas with 1,100 square feet per person was pretty accurate.

Am I missing something here?

Most of the scientists do NOT even say that! Most scientists say that humans have a MUCH greater effect on climate change than that. Global Warming is not some liberal conspiracy for world domination or something crazy like that! @Richard MacKay

Of course we can change the world our population has tripled in one life time. How many times do you think our technology has tripled? I'd say a lot more than that. We have changed landscapes the size of small countries to even entire continents. The more our technology has developed the more change it has brought. I work in construction and i know what would take me a week with 10 people can be accomplished in minutes with heavy equipment. Our nature is our Destruction.

The combination and timing of warming periods and peak fossil fuel usage may just happen to be compounding multiplying factors... We don't have an incredible amount of data on that sort of exponential climate change (fossil fuel usage x natural warming)--however--Its not too difficult to make sense of. In the first half of the 20th century, a large part of now-industrialized nations rode bicycles, walked, and used rudimentary transportation. In the second half of the 20th century--as was well put in this documentary--the heat bubble just exploded, and its completely off the charts of the regular spectrum over the last thousand years. Unless someone can compile reasonable average temperature data over the last 10,000 years... this may become a rather difficult argument. I personally happen to believe that no matter whether or not we're affecting more than 15 percent of the natural cycle, that we should drastically move to create an equilibrium between us and Earth, because honestly, i'm all for industrialization and economy, but If we fail to act before we realize the true consequences of our actions, it may be too late.I guess to sum it all up:I'd rather like my grandchildren to be able to go to Glacier National Park, and to actually be able to throw a snowball from a glacier. I'm not a hippie. Just a realist. Planet Earth is my home. In all reality, we probably all contribute to these factors– as does the natural planetary heating cycle.

Even the most hardened climate scientist who completely believes in man made GW figures man may be the cause of 5-15% of the warming with the rest being a natural cycle. (Remember Greenland used to be green long before cars and big industry). So lets use the high end of 15%. If we tax the crap out of everyone, bankrupting countries like Canada and crushing the economy of the US while India, Brazil and China get away with doing nothing let us assume we slow warming by 20%. Unless we go back to the stone age or cull half the population we are not going to do better than 20%. Now if we cut that 15% man-made warming by 20% thats a 3% savings. A temperature increase of 1 degree will be limited to an increase of .97 degrees. Wow that is really worth ruining the economies of several nations. So for all you GW lovers and true believers, even if you are right, you cant halt nature, you wont stop industry and you have no clue on how to stop what you fear without going back to the stone age. The arguements are moot. Here is what I have to say.

Ian Stewarts' claim he should have known this.where was the heat signature? and why did not the carbon glow if it was absorbing the heat from the candle? infrared cameras detect heat signatures, and the result shown was the air surrounding the flame was cooled until the flame was invisible. no heat signature.

I say they are wrong. and complete reversal will happen much sooner . and there is another factor about man made global warming and that is H.A.R.R.P. they are causing (the government) harmonic tremors around the world with this instrument and they are also creating the whole on the ozone with it now. they create a plasma mirror in the stratosphere with this and can control cloud and create storms and warm the surface temperature of the earth, the biggest harp system is in Alaska and they are melting the polar cap with this device so they can cause alarm and lead us to believe that carbon is causing this trend in warming but it is not true. carbon while absorbing heat and the effect is cooling in the surrounding area. I was just watching this program and when DR. Ian Stewart held the candle in front of the tube filled with carbon the heat from the candle was adsorbed by the carbon and the infrared camera which detectes heat in objects could no longer see the flame of the candle. Now the infrared camera can not see things that are cooler than the camera itself. so you all seen it with your own eyes carbon absorbs heat then the change is cooling not increased ground temperatures. in another experiment a guy bought two thermomatures and clear plastic bags then put the themomaturse on post and filled one with with car exhaust and one with compressed air and put them both in sunlight while the temperature outside was at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and left them there for an hour and recorded the change in temperature every fifteen minutes at the end of the hour the bag with carbon was 6 degrees cooler than the one with air but, was four degrees warmer (the bag with carbon) at the start of the test.climate is going to change nothing can be done about that but if our governments around the world do not stop using harp we are in for some serious trouble. there is no doubt that climate change is real there are many factors involved. right now if you check NASA’s pole reversal currently the south pole has a north signature along with areas around the equator, and while the poles have not totally reversed yet the process is well under way.NASA was having problems with a satellite they put in orbit ans they discovered what I am telling you now. the NASA scientist say though that even though the changes in the magnetic north have occurred that it maybe thousands of years before they switch totally.

The skeptics are in the minority and he's just showed how the excuse of the sun, comparisons with medieval warming etc are all wrong!!! I agree with you on the carbon tax but not that global warming is some vast conspiracy of scientists. And by the way the climategate scientists have been exonerated. Stop all the denial, its dangerous. Did you even watch this documentary?
