CO2 - Love It: Fighting the carbon scam is vitally important
In conclusion to you, my dearest friend, it should be fairly obvious that I am trying to help someone. I'm trying to help 6.5 billion someones, to better their lives, and more importantly I'm trying to ensure over a third of them enjoy their right to develop, to live, to exist. It's disgusting to me that there are forces out there who would keep the developing nations walking barefoot through extreme poverty, and do so claiming it's all to "save the world" from a problem that does not even exist.
Should you put your child's health in the hands of a paediatrician with an irrational fear of Diet Pepsi bubbles?
We chose the topic of global warming because we think that paediatricians have a special part to play in highlighting the risks to children and the need for us all to take a personal responsibility for change.

Our keynote speaker from the US covered the climate science in a very graphic way – and we could see all his slides! We took questions first in York and then handed over to the international audience – dominated by questions from Argentina, Colombia and the US. Three more speakers followed on the effects of global warming on the health of the vulnerable, the medical benefits to a population of reducing carbon overuse (eg fewer road accidents and less obesity) and the legal issues of the generational impact of climate change on children as yet unborn. Finally, we had an extended discussion on action we could take.
Doubt No More, Humans Cause Global Warming | Trends Updates
The debate whether humans have brought about global warming has been settled. Human activity that brings about the emission of carbon dioxide or CO2 has been causing the rise in the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. The burning of fossil fuels, through human activity, has produced about 75 percent of the increase in CO2 levels for the past 20 years. Carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas that rises to the atmosphere, is the main cause behind the rise in the Earth’s temperature. It is man that has caused for the planet to heat up.
