There is some debate about peer review. The AGW contrarians could make their point stronger by publishing theirs views (which are perfectly fine, any debate needs to have more than one standpoint) where the "conspiraceous" majority actually reads them. Webpages like this one or junkscience.com might not be the way.
Interestingly, not even on ArXiv.org, which is an impartial and not peer reviewed, but highly regarded research paper server, can you easily find anything disputing AGW (I searched for a while but did not see anything). Why would that be?
I am somewhat impressed by the stamina and numbers that some of you show off with, but could you not use this energy more wisely? That is, if your intention is really to scientifically represent an alternative standpoint, and not just to ramble in virtual discussion forums.
Having said this, I should also get out of here...

Facing in our current climate change, widespread pollution due to massive industry's productivity and lifestyles created greenhouse gases emission. Thus, it will effect much worst scenario of earth's nature itself and without any doubt, massive pollutions leads to earth's catastrophe sooner than expected.
It could be possible that another continents will sink to sea no matter where it is.
Lemurian and Atlantean were sunk, great ancient emperor such as Pharaoh in Egypt, Caesar in Roman were vanished. The question is, who will ruled under the sea in nowadays "established industrialized empire"?

Any dissenting view that doesnt fit in with the majority of information available are suspect and should be treated that way, only if it can fit in a coherent manner it has any potential to become convincing.
If this is not true we might as well believe in fairies, Nessie or The Flying Spagetti Monster.

The large increase from developing nations is predominately coal. Coal emmisions include a lot of heavy metals that later deposit in oceans and on land not neccisarily in the country of origin.
While personally I don't buy the whole CO2 will kill us stuff, Mercury and H2S might give us a run for our money.
I guess in light of the Global Warming Law trivial theories like "lead causes brain damage" and "H2S causes acidic rain" are unimportant since they are unproven...
For all the AGW gang, This is what I mean when I tell you that you don't have to prove AGW to reduce pollution. Use proven consequences. Especially if you want to see quick reactions. I'm all for reducing pollution to reduce H2S, Mercury and Lead emmisions.

Actually, most of it is from industrial process, not really coal fired power plants.
The exception to that would probably be Australia and New Zealand where they sit on almost a purely coal fired energy infrastructure.

as far as where it comes from, check the maps and see where the mercury in rainfall concentrations in the US, versus cheap coal use are. Hint:overlays of the maps wouldn't really be neccisary.
