Inhofe, who held an impromptu press conference in the Bella Center, said the chances of passage of pending climate and energy legislation were "zero" and would remain so if such a bill was financially harmful to Americans in any way. He said the recent hacking, and publishing, of e-mails from a prominent climate change research group at East Anglia University in England showed that "the science has been debunked.“

CO2 is required for photosynthesis; it is essentially a plant fertilizer
CO2 cycles are natural Oceans absorb CO2 Without a greenhouse effect, the earth
would be uninhabitable

Must understand “dynamic balance” Contributors include physical, biological and
cultural factors – “Ecosystems” How can we characterize “ecosystems”?
Describe: Where does one start and stop? Internal components, flows, dynamics? Compare: How do different ecosystems interact
to contribute to global patterns? How does balance depend on scale?

Do we look very close or from a distance?
Are we concerned about changes over hours, days, years or longer?

Indicate a hypothesis about how these materials move among compartments
Indicate possible important influences on those exchanges
