I read Katherine Ellison’s article in the newspaper today about Global warming entitled “Kids run hot/cold on global warming”. There is so much misinformation on the subject that I wanted to straighten out the issue with some facts. I have 2 degrees in engineering and a lot of knowledge on the subject. It’s been sort of like the rumor that gets passed down a line of ten people. By the time it gets to the tenth person, it’s indistinguishable from the first.
First, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a nutrient, NOT a pollutant. It combines with water in a process called photosynthesis, which produces the basic building block of life on Earth. Eliminate CO2 and all life on the planet ends in a matter of weeks. The other gases emitted by burning fossil fuels (nitrous oxide and others) are pollutants.
Second, the heating of the planet has recently been shown to be far more the result of development on the planet, ie, roads, houses, apartments, offices, industrial buildings,etc than auto emissions. Building trap heat and hold it much longer than the bare land on which they were built, so if we’re going to improve the lives of the 3rd world countries with housing and work places, the planet is going to warm up. And, "zeor emmission vehicles actual create more pollution than gasoline autos, because it takes more fossil fuels to generat the required electricity, than is used by an auto for the same amount of driving.
Third, the planet is warming naturally, as part of the eco-cycle of nature. Temperatures go up and down over a 10 thousand year period, with mini-cycles every 3 thousand years. the coldest period in recent history was the beginning of the 17 century, when the Pilgrims landed in America. A scientist very knowledgeable on the subject did a detailed study and found that spending the $300 billion dollars redesigning cars would only delay the warming by 6 years. When the 24 countries attending an economic development conference in Europe were asked what they would recommend doing with $100 billion dollars, global warming was far down the list. Improving health care, food production, disease prevention and other things were much higher. So, it’s a question of how we use limited resources.
Fourth, we’re fighting the wrong problem. Cars only represent 6.5% of the production of CO2, while heat from building heating and air conditioning systems around the world produce 50% of the CO2 in the world. Just modifying the design of buildings by putting in skylights and more efficient windows would reduce CO2, and heat, emissions more than completely eliminating ALL cars on the planet.
Fifth, if we’re going to feed the poorest people in the 3rd World, we actually need MORE CO2, not less, because high-nutrient vegetables require a lot more CO2 than many parts of the world currently get (carrots, asparagus, Brussell sprouts, etc). They’re essential to improving the health of people in many countries.
Sixth, the US is actually a net “sink” for CO2, ie, the US actually consumes more than it produces, so we’re aren’t a problem. The problem is parts of the world, especially the middle East, where there is little green vegetation, which absorb CO2 to grow.
Finally, the Kyoto treaty would be an absolute disaster, because it permits many countries to pollute far more than the US, doing the same industry, so US firms would simply out-source production there and pollution would significantly INCREASE, not decrease. Indai and China are already eco-disasters, and they would be exempt from all rules. The Kyoto treaty is an effort by many dictatorships to simply steal US industry, without doing any creative work. A UN study released a few months ago made it very clear that these countries are impoverished because of their own corrupt governments, NOT because of anything the US is doing.
What am I to do?

I loved your LA Times piece on global warming-- I'm glad you wrote it. I write this from the cafe of Politics and Prose in Washington, DC, whose owner was concerned enough about this to start a book/discussion club on the subject.
I think you hit it on the head. I think more about kids 18-25. It's not that they don't care-- I think it's that they care too much. I wouldn't be surprised if the campuses explode this spring in a burst of actions that exceeds May 1970 and the anti-apartheid movement of spring 1985.
But I think youth sees that we don't care about them, and this hurts them deeply. The tales of divorce and constructive abandonment I hear don't strengthen their trust in us, either.
PS- I think you can moderate your comments, thus eliminating the spam, but creating more work for yourself.
Have a good day, cool site.
