I think we both know what would happen. But too much of anything, including greenhouse gases is not necessarily a good thing.

Venus seems to have a lot of greenhouse gasses. It makes the planet bright and quite beautiful in the sky, but it does not necessarily make it livable.

I think a lot of people need to take a reality check: the warming of the earth, even by a degree can wipe out many species on the earth. This happens with the natural cycle of the earth. Because of the added human effect, it is suppose to raise more than the warming cycle usually does. (most scientists say probably 4 degrees versus the usually 1 degree). It is a safe bet that more than a few species will die. They have no place to run. The current global warming is NOT normal. We are not just making it a bit more severe, we are making it a lot more severe We are talking about real starvation of both people and other life forms.

Although there might be a lot of things to find underneath the polar ice and glaciers, I am not sure worth what we would lose in exchange. Whole islands will be under water causing massive devestation.

If something is not done now (and with so many people thinking that someone else will take care of it, or it is not really a "problem" it looks pretty bad), the damange to our earth will be irreversable.
