    Just tell me where to send the check to get this in some written list instead.

    OK, so because of humans, there are almost triple the amount of greenhouse gases. Seems like that could have an effect to me.

    Please show the greenhouse gas emissions from non-human sources

    they are much, much larger...

    Where is concrete on this list? I mean, it might be on there but I don't read hieroglyph.

    Do you believe humans are the primary cause of the ongoing climate change? If not, what do you think about the majority of climate scientists who disagree with you?

    Greenhouse gas emissions by non-human sources ~= 20 x human sources.

    Greenhouse gas removal by non-human sources (forest, ocean..) ~= their own emissions. Nature can balance itself.

    Greenhouse gas removal by human sources : ? .

    Any more questions?

    The obvious solution is to Kill All Humans.

    Water vapor makes up 96% of greenhouse gases.

    This is discussing the other 4% and even then it isn't including the percentage that is not man made.

    Catchy header though "World GHG emmisions flowchart" there is absolutely no sensationalism going on here.:rolleyes:

    Humans are doing exactly that, don't you understand?

    Again, your sides only operates on limited data, yet you think someone is hiding things from you. The stats are out there, go look it up.

    Nature has a way to balance its negative effects, that is why the earth has been around for billions of years without humans. (unless you still think the earth is just 6000 years old)
    Humans have only been around a short time and just last 50-100 years have cause tremendous negative effect. Is the answer to kill all humans, no. The answer is for humans to understand and behave responsibly so we, humans can be around a little longer.

    I thought the infographic was elegantly done. I don't know what people are complaining about.

    I think we're making progress. Reducing reliance on coal, increasing energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy, using waste methane and biomass for power production, tightening operational control of hazardous chemicals. Maybe we're not fast enough in progressing, but we are progressing.

    The above data represents a fractional percentage of greenhouse gases yet is titled "World GHG emissions" and you claim that I am opperating on limited data?

    Why don't you "go look it up" and every time you seen GHG statistics that don't include water vapor as 96% of the total ask yourself "why would they leave that out?".

    QUESTION: When did this ozone depletion issue start?
    Serious question. When did the ozone layer/global warming issue start becoming a problem?

    But if we Kill All Humans, they won't be able to do that -- Don't you understand?

    I believe the argument is not about humans causing global warming. It is that we are helping accelerate the process and we need to do something different to not do that. Global warming has occurred a number of times in the past and will repeat itself with or without the help of humans.

    Saying that water vapor is the main cause is only partially true. We need to ask what is causing this increased amount of water vapor.

    The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere exists in direct relation to the temperature. If you increase the temperature, more water evaporates and becomes vapor, and vice versa. So when something else causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates. Then, since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this additional water vapor causes the temperature to go up even further

    There are a lot of assumptions with that. What happens if an increase in atmospheric water vapor leads to an increase in cloud cover?

    Please, just stop. Your bong is leaking CO2.
