Student carbon emissions

You see! That's the problem! If this country was more pro-green for students I'd be all for it. My friend Eva lives in the Netherlands, she's a student and every year she gets a special card that allows her free travel on trains and buses on either weekdays or weekends, she can choose which card to go for. And even then when she pays it's still cheaper than it is here (and that's with me converting from Euro to Sterling) AND there's no shortage of seats on trains.

We could learn a thing or two from the Dutch.

Global warming couldn't possibly be due to one of several factors other than Carbon emissons?

Yeah, sure, but its hard to say that we're not making an impact.
But nobody could say 100% for sure about most things, in this case the risks
involved (venus, anyone? ) mean that we should probably do something about it regardless.

I seem to remember that, millions of years ago, we were in an ice age? I also seem to remember that the earth warmed up, and we came out of said ice age without the help of human carbon emissions? Global Warming exists, no doubt. But its causes are still largely unknown, and as I personally don't believe humans have a measurable effect on it, it's not something I lose sleep over.

It's surprising how much of an effect we do have on the climate.

[semi-relevant fact]
Admittedly this isn't global warming, but in the days following 9/11, when all planes in america were grounded, the lack of vapour trails cause the average temperature to rise 1 degree.

I found that quite surprising to be honest.

pfleh, source? not sure I believe that

1 degree is a heck of a lot, if anything that would be down to normal heating/cooling cycles

Or perhaps we'd just be better off creating a new form of pollution free power such as nuclear fusion
