Dick,
ABout 97% of the scientific world disagrees with you, at least so I've read.
I've also read that the big oil companies did research 40 years ago which
shoed that global warming is due to the increase in greenhouse gases, and
that they then did precisely what the tobacco industry did when it found out
that Nicotine caused cancer. They paid scientists to diesseminate
disinformation.

All:
After nearly 50 years of practice as a Chemical Engineer I have concluded
that no one knows with a high degree of certainty just what is occurring to
cause the apparent change in climatic conditions. There are a goodly number
of proposals that seem to indicate that an increase in Carbon Dioxide is the
primary factor, the primary source being the products of combustion. My own
opinion is that water vapor is the primary causative factor since about two
volumes of water vapor are created for each carbon dioxide created.

The issue is that for people that don't have the luxury of driving
to the
store having to bring reusable bags is an added inconvenience and
many of
the canvas bags are difficult to carry and don't seem to hold as
much. I am
old enough to remember that at one time plastic bags were considered
a
panacea because people weren't using as many trees by not using
paper bags.
The problem with the California law in addition is that stores can
charge up
to .10 for each bag and there are concerns about how this will
impact low
income people.

Hi
While I agree in theory with banning plastic bags I have a
problem. Where
we live, I have a trash shoot for all trash. I reuse all the
plastic bags I
get from the stores. Usually I use cloth bags for groceries but
just get
enough plastic bags for trash. If they outlaw plastic bags, we will
need to
buy bags at the store. reusing bags makes more sense than buying
them.
Perhaps a lot of people don't do this though.
