That's a distinction without a difference; I don't know why you keep bringing it up.

If you knocked up a chick (God help us), you "helped create" it. That doesn't mean the woman could have had that baby without you (God help us). Ugh...should have picked a better analogy. :?

"caused" is functionally the same as "helped create" here. Global warming is a dependent variable in each instance.[/quote]

You can't comprehend how warmer water makes hurricanes stronger? Maybe you could do some wordsmithing and find a definition of "helped" that supports your theory.

OK. Hope you are right.

news flash, THE PLANET IS CHANGING, you do realize that the above sea level borders of countries has changed over time and countries have changed. But yes THE PLANET IS CHANGING, it may in fact change so much that we humans go the hell away[/quote]

Thanks.

warm water and warmer water was around long before the 1960's or so. FYI, scientists are saying that the North Pole has gained a very large amount of ice.....so maybe the planet is changing and
there is little to nothing you or I do that will change that. Also FYI, even if the US was to shutter every single coal power plant in the country the rest of the planet is building them at a high rate so how are you going to change or stop the rest of the planet?

I know you won't answer, discussion is hard
Well cwtcr, as I said I'm not an expert. When surrounded by climatologist and other experts, sometimes it's best just to set back and take it all in. Thanks to all of you for providing your insight.

Hard to get the appropriate materials there for general (non major commercial) construction.
They don't have the skilled workers to do the necessary type of work.
They can't afford to do what needs to be done to meet current codes.
