Note: I am not a scientist, nor have I done any climate studies of my own, I am simply re-stating various arguments I have come upon.
While global warming may (or may not) be occurring, the current evidence comes nowhere close to supporting the idea.
Water vapor makes up around 70% of the greenhouse effect, not including clouds. Figures taking clouds into account place the effect of water vapor between 90% and 95% of greenhouse gasses. Humans cause between 0.001% to 0% of water vapor.
Factoring in water vapor, man-made C02 contributions make up 0.117% of the total greenhouse effect, and taking into account all measured greenhouse gasses the humans contribute only 0.28% to the greenhouse effect.
In fact, we're not even sure the global temperature is increasing. The first 3/4 of the temperature chart most commonly used by global warming scientists was estimated by arctic ice-core samples. After that, temperatures were taken by weather-balloon readings. Weather balloon readings did not support warming (they showed cooling in the southern hemisphere), so global warming scientists found a new method. The measurements in the final portion of the chart were taken at weather stations that are notorious for poor placement and below-code construction.
My point is that global warming skepticism arguments place reasonable doubt upon nearly every step of the process, and seem to have just as much merit as arguments supporting global warming.

What I think is better being safe then sorry right? Besides, taking the bike to school/Walking to work is a lot more healthier right?
Anyway Labour has brought in recycle bags and stuff to help the planet, and given adive on how the save your bills and so forth to help the planet.
