If you have problems understanding the science side of the (so called*) debate on Global Warming, just consider Earth as a greenhouse**.
Whoops! It actually is!

This diagram depicts the stationary anthropogenic CO2 emissions by major industry.
The largest contributor to these emissions is from electricity production (73 percent).
| Myth: | Carbon dioxide comes only from anthropogenic sources, especially from the burning of fossil fuels. |
| Reality: | Carbon dioxide comes from both natural and anthropogenic sources; natural sources are predominant. |
Are the additional emissions of anthropogenic CO2 to the atmosphere impacting the climate and environment?

*In a real debate both sides are assumed to be sincere. Most of the Global Warming critics deny proven science and few, if any, can provide reproducible, alternate scientific basis for their arguments; they just argue, the last bastion of obstructionism.
Thus, the deniers “side” is widely considered of being not only insincere, but also biased against the facts in order to avoid taking needed action and denying science (they believe in vaccines, though) out of some other agenda than saving mankind’s future.
Recently some politicians in the U.S.A. have grudgingly agreed that the Earth is warming but continue the denial of man’s influence and the need to reduce greenhouse gases. Thus inaction persists in the U.S.A. and other countries with deniers in power.
However most of the civilized world appears to have better science-educated populous and more citizen-oriented elected representatives and they are making an effort to help slow the effects of greenhouse gases. because affects all mankind.
