Lol, I dont even smoke the stuff and I was pointing out industrial Hemp.

I also do not believe that it is right to ban a plant because some people smoke it. It is their life, their body, and their choice. Ignoring the science behind the plant is just stupid. I know it is as political as AGW but lets look at the real science and leave the religion out of it.

The inconsistency between observed
and simulated global warming is even more
striking for temperature trends computed
over the past fifteen years (1998–2012).
For this period, the observed trend of
0.05 ± 0.08 C per decade is more than four
times smaller than the average simulated
trend of 0.21 ± 0.03 C per decade

Wait, doesn't your rebuttal show that the earth's temperature will not spiral out of control leading to the death and destruction predicted? :P

To be honest you make great points for the view that we are really in a geologic cold period and global warming is just returning us to average temperatures for geologic time frames.

That right, nobody burns hemp. Marijuana yes, but industrial hemp is no good for smoking.

Instead you make oil from the seeds that you can use for cooking and can even turn into biodiesel.
You can make paper, cloth, shoes, rope, etc, etc, etc from the plant locking up the carbon and making it into useful products.
