Does Carbon Emissions Cause Global Warming? This source says "No"!

doctorj: it's true that Australia produces only about 1.5% of the world's CO2. But to put that into perspective, it has only about 0.33% of the world's population. So by that measure we produce about 4.5 times as much as the 'average' human on the planet.

So if we do nothing because 'others pollute more', and they do nothing because we didn't, and everyone does nothing... nothing happens. Since we are among thw world's worst polluters it makes sense for us to move, and to encourage others to move.

The question is not 'do we do an experiment based on a theory'. The question is 'we are already doing the largest experiment the planet has ever seen - is it smart to keep on doing it?'

I suppose you have got a point there. Regardless of whether emissions causes global warming, it would be best not to create pollution that we see hanging around our cities and fouling the air. Therefore it is a good thing that we move to encourage industry and private car owners to reduce pollution.
