@Do not taunt Happy Fun King Psyz: I also got 500,000 for io9 a few months ago, but the economy has made me tighten my belt:

In terms of global warming the scientific consensus is well over 90% that it is caused by human activity. This is a higher consensus than agreement about the effects of many drugs and technologies out on the market.

I will always scoff and hold a gargantuan amount of doubt for those scientist who believe that they can possibly understand and predict the weather on an Earth scale. Now the chaotic factors are so vast as to include stellar factors outside the earth and butterfly wings. Yes, supercomputers can crunch differential equations amazingly well, but the end result will always involve such amazing amounts of fudging that even in that arena its impossible. That fudging factor is oftentimes accounted for by the programmer and always involves their biases toward maintaining their funding which means instilling fear that the world will end if they arent funded for more research. Sensationalism doesnt only have a home in politics...

Please enlighten me since I am so ignorant and you've been researching greenhouse gas emissions?
What are the effects?
What does this sign do to educate the public on a scientific level the effects and solutions to green house gasses and global warming?
Go back to starbucks...
This planet has gotten hot and cold thousands of times before we were saber toothed tiger food. this isn't about saving Mother Earth, this is about making things comfortable for US, #1, Human.
And again, this sign provides nothing but fuel for your smugness. It provides zero scientific education to the public on what they could do to reduce carbon emissions, it's just a number, doubly so a number most can't comprehend. More so since THEY'RE LIKELY OUTSIDE WALKING WHEN THEY SEE IT! Should they be walking in soy shoes and hemp clothing?

Great, you've reposted the same wikipedia quote twice and totally avoided answering my questions.
HIGH FIVE!

OK, now I am just getting agitated. You said the following:
"Seriously! I'm always amazed at people's ignorance regarding the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. This is exactly why we need to promote awareness, such as this billboard is doing, and help give the public more highly educated, scientific views. "
Where does this sign "help give the public more highly educated, scientific views"?
And you have yet to state the actual EFFECTS of increased carbon emissions. You just copy/pasted that it was there. You can't because there's no data yet, there's so little we know about this planet. We don't even understand what our oceans contain yet and you think we understand the effects of increased carbon in the atmosphere on any kind of real hard level?
Not that it matters anyway since there's mounting evidence the polar shift will be coming soon and likely wipe out a large portion of life in it's wake which the earth will bounce back from like it always has.
