Your hyperbole is not helpful...
It's is hard to talk about issues as pressing as global climate with someone who has no idea of what they are talking about constantly badgering others. Climate change, and man's role in it is not in question here. That discussion ended a long time ago, and Open d's insistence on not only doubting it but belittling and insulting others that know better should be reason enough to invite him to take a vacation. Especially as it is obvious he is doing so in hopes of encouraging a response he can then further insult.
As to the point made that the amount of CO2 emitted in any one region over another, unfortunately the issue doesn't recognize political boundaries. NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 has made incredible strides in helping us understand the distribution of CO2 planetary. They have a great graphic (video) of about a year of CO2 concentrations around the planet here..

The problem is further aggravated by the continual disturbance of the ocean itself as described here...

Open d's blindness may be excused elsewhere, but here in Hawaii where we are seeing the effects of climate change as graphically as we are the entire issue is settled science, let's accept that and move on.
