Courage?

"Courage is being a scientist that does'nt believe global warming or climate change is caused by man or more specifically the U.S."

The U.S. burns on average 320 million gallons of petroleum a day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline

Thats 116 billion gallons of fuel a year that the U.S. burns.

Fuel weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon, so that means we burn almost a trillion pounds of fuel a year, the primary by-product of which is CO2, which a known factor in atmospheric warming.

How can anyone on Earth even suggest that man does not play a part in global warming when we are burning a trillion pounds of fuel a year... just in the U.S.?

Where do you think all the gas we burn goes?
