I’m not looking for a flame war. Please start another thread if that’s your aim. There are many things I don’t understand and am simply asking for answers to these questions. I am not arguing anything. I am not trying to make a point. I simply want to learn from you all.

Since clouds can be seen from space, that means that they reflect solar radiation. Do other green house gasses also reflect solar radiation? Are the amounts of radiation reflected by green house gasses taken into account when modeling their impact on the environment?

How many tons of CO2 are released by the U.S. use of fossil fuels each year?

How much carbon is trapped in landfills each year? (People have gone into landfills and found that the old method of packing debris in tightly restricts greatly the ability of decomposers to decompose and therefore release carbon.)

How much carbon is trapped in septic tanks each year?

How much carbon is trapped in sewage treatment plants each year?

How much carbon is trapped in embalmed corpses each year?

Is it feasible to become carbon neutral by artificially trapping carbon containing waste? (If not, can trapping carbon be part of the solution?)

Is the debate over global warming:
A. About weather or not humankind plays a role at all.
B. About weather or not global warming is occurring.
C. About weather or not humankind’s impact on global warming is significant compared to other factors. (IE Increased solar radiation)
D. None of the above. (please tell me what you think the debate is over)
