		<description>I have a feeling that every bit of that global warming ad is bullshit, especially the part about EDF Energy "aiming to reduce the intensity of CO2 emissions by %60." 

First off, they are simply "aiming" to reduce C02 emissions which means they don't really have to do jack. Secondly, what the hell is the "intensity" of C02 emissions? It is just another bullshit phrase coined in this bullshit field. If you really want to know, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_intensity" rel="nofollow"&gt;carbon intensity&lt;/a&gt; is the ratio of economic output to carbon dioxide emissions, so as long as EDF increases its "economic output" its carbon dioxide emissions can stay the same.

I do not deny that the earth is warming. I simply question the root causes of this warming and the extent to which human activity contributes. I do reject the sensationalist propaganda that paints doomsday scenarios and suggests that human beings can control earth's temperature like a thermostat. 

I know Al Gore would like to deny this, but there is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun" rel="nofollow"&gt;massive continuously changing thermonuclear reaction&lt;/a&gt; happening at the center of our solar system, which has a small effect on earth's climate too. There are of course many factors that determine earth's average temperature. Unfortunately, we will never properly understand our world as long as the politicos keep perverting real scientific inquiry.

It is the perversion of scientific inquiry for political ends that pisses me off. I'm very interested and open to considering all the findings regarding the relationship between C02 and global temperature cycles. At this point what I've read has shown me that the sun and other factors like cloud cover have much more influence on the earth's climate than CO2.</description>
