Wow, someone more deluded than me...Unless you were being sarcstic?

1. Global warming happens a hell of a lot faster than evoultion.
2. Dry out part of the sea? Better defenses? If the sea levels rise, a lot of the world is majorly screwed. All those nice beachfront properties are gonna be seafront. And as for better defenses, what about those people who can't afford them, and did almost nothing to contribute to the global warming trend?
3. You must have a lot of faith in inventors today. There are more problems than just leaking houses and getting to work!

Flash is right here. Evolution can take thousands, to millions of years. Uhhh, we don't have that kind of time to evolve heat resistant skin and gills. This isn't X-Men you know.

2. Dry out part of the sea? Better defenses? If the sea levels rise, a lot of the world is majorly screwed. All those nice beachfront properties are gonna be seafront.

Exactly, contributing a little today in our daily efforts may save on a larger scale in the long-run. So why shouldn't the first world nations do their part in preventing the further suffering of third-world nations. It's not like the demands are to give up motor vehicles entirely and to live a rural life. It's things as simple as walking to the corner store as opposed to driving there, or investing in better public transportation so there are less vehicles on the road to cut down on emissions. Hell, even the simple lesson that your mother or father might have taught you of "turning off the light in a room once you leave it". These aren't major sacrifices.

Global warming causes extremes in temperature not just warmer weather retard.

2.who cares about sea levels rising im sure we can afford better defenses or dry out part of the sea somehow

It's the freshening of the ocean that we have to worry about. That can cause an ice age.

3.if sea levels rise so they are flooding constantly we can just make a way to stop it flooding inside houses and we can use hovor cars (when we invent them) to get to work (they'll probably be cleaner anyway!)

are you sure?
the oceans rising bco glaciers melting from ,tada, global warming might cause weather changes and/or things such as hurricanes.
at least as far as i know.

Yes, I'm sure. Heard any old tales from coastal cities and sailor logs? Natural disastors like hurricanes have been happening long before global warming.

Before you go on saying that global warming will cause hurricanes, you need to find out what actually causes a hurricane.

Ummm...He isn't saying that global warming alone is causing hurricanes. He is saying that there is an increased chance, or a worsining of hurricanes due to global warming. We all know that hurricanes have been around for a long time, that isn't the argument. The question is, will melting glaciers, etc. cause more of them?

I for one don't know. I just thought that I would clarify, because you seemed confused, possibly by the bad grammer.

actually in the past there wasn't the same number of living things.
See this is the difference in the past:

1. Smaller number of animals , therfore less methane
2. Less number of humans, less number of methane
3. This is a biggy, pollution there wasn't that in the past now was it?

If you ask me what to do, I would resolve it the same way as it was done in futurama :P

What do you mean "we startedbreathing oxygen"? Whose we? Whoever it is, I assume it includes humans. Humans, and everything before humans on our evolutionary path, have always breathed oxygen.

And its not that plants (not just trees) don't LIKE oxygen, its that they 'breath' in the things we breath out, and 'breath' out the things we breath in.

The reason Katrina was so powerful was directly because the waters off the Gulf Coast were unusually warm. Of course, it's impossible to prove wether or not that was in some way because of Global warming. The point is, it's not just a hurricane, it was a very strong hurricane. Something that can in fact be caused by global warming.

Global warming might as well be natural. We've had the first ice age some time ago. Now the earth getting warmer again, until the next ice age will come then it'll get colder again and after that ice age the earth will warm up again. So it might as well be natural, ofcourse we humans got something to do with it, but alot of it is probably natural.

There have been a lot of strong hurricanes before; one more doesn't prove anything.

I don't think you understand me. This hurricane was strong directly because of extra-warm waters. I'm simply saying this is how one could argue that it was Global Warming's fault. It's impossible to know if the extra warm water was directly or indirectly caused or helped by Global warming, however.

Warm water often occurs naturally, but this one could have been caused, or aided by global warming.

Actually Altanese Mistress, I've got my own garden and I have founded the planets florish better away from other plants.

Plants do more than just take up minerals from the area causing other plants to choke out, they also present much waste.

This is why when you garden you have to make sure your plants are at a safe distance from one another.

Oh and by the way plants do use oxygen and they have to in order to break down nutients.

But plants also consume oxygen, just as humans do.
Each plant cell, just like each human cell, performs the process called respiration. Plants take in oxygen and use the sugar to create carbon dioxide and water. This process releases energy, so plants can live and grow.

Plants use oxygen to grow and live, just like us.

Yes but then they absorb a good portion of their oxygen they let off for respiration. Otherwise plant's wouldn't grow.

Because Carbon Dioxide + Water = Sugar and Oxygen, but no energy for them to grow.

But Sugar + Oxygen = Water + Carbon Dioxide, with energy for them to grow.

... hurricanes only form in unusually warm waters dumbass

Warm water often occurs naturally, but this one could have been caused, or aided by global warming.

... fucking moron... if anything the releasing of water out of icebergs would cool the seas just like in a glass of water. Temperature shifts are natural for earth. Earth has survived them before and it will again. There has never been any direct proof that humans are the cause of global warming. In fact volcanoes spew out more of the dreaded polution that supposedly causes global warming than humans produce.

I'm tired of this shit.

This is just the way the world works. I'm sure you have all heard of the great flood and noah. what you probably don't know is that it was based on actuall fact. At the time the water in the mediteranean sea had been dropping steadily due to evaporation. A land bridge was blocking any water from coming in anymore. When the bridge broke the mediteranean filled back up, flooding the area in a matter of months. This is just one of the things that water has done to our planet.

Lesson: SHIT HAPPENS
What you should take away from this: YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

UM GOS that isn't entirely true when it comes to different substances, fresh water in glaciers and salt water are different substances, though they appear simular.

And with the earth being very massive, a large cold deposite, wouldn't cause the seas to get colder at all. What would happen is that a certain area would get colder, but the shifting difference in temperature can easily cause a wabbling effect by pressing a more large flow current of warm waters, since cold water travels slower and the colder it gets the slower it gets.

I of course mean that cold waters from the North would take a longer time to reach the warm waters of the south. Thus that mixing between the two of them would occur less and less.
