Your oppinion on global warming

[2r0x0rs4you]

I think it's total crap! but we couldn't get along very well without the factories that cause it. What about you guys?

enjoy the picture of what may soon be our planet! D: LOL!

Whats an Oppinion?

[jenny-cadaver]

for sure...global warming (sorry, global climate change) is the lastest fad that everyone can save the world with.

on a side note, i think we are on ther verge of another ice age. we can only hope that it's global warming.

i think global warming is also crap it is said it has happends around about every 200years...soo...we will live alot longer...or will all die in 100years..(thou ill be dead...so i dnt care :P)

I believe it is real. However the fix isn't as difficult and won't harm our economy as much as some people think. We will lose employement in one area but gain in another. Indutrialists are simply scared of change.

Dude he's just being a Grammar Gestapo.

I have a question...

When i'm an adult and have a job:

- Recycle the majority of my papers and the majority of any material i use which is capable of being recycled
- Drive a considerably fuel efficent Car to work and whenever i need to
- turn off my Water and appliances when not in use
- Donate my old Cloths to the needy
- When i have Kids, try to form Car pools with my child's parents so over-all we have to drive less

If i do all of these things, how much guilt should i feel about the problems humans caused to effect the earth, and as a human being how much more am i as an individual expected to do to spare myself from an inconvenient truth :P

The Ice on Greenland is sliding into the sea. When that happens, New york and Florida will be ocean.

Every scientist that isn't in the pay of big industry has the data showing that global warming is happening, we can't stop it, we can only try slow it down, and guess what everything is going to change in the next hundred years. Yet, americans watch some stupid show about how it's just some crazy theory(like evolution!) on a big media station(which is owned by big business/industry) and brainwash themselves into thinking that facts are opinions! Well guess what you crazy right wingers, the big boss Dubya has finally come out and admitted that it does exist, so suck it up and toe the line! We're all fucked and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it's going to be! Repent!!!

Well most scientists are saying that Global Warming is real, it's not as controversial as political hacks would like you to think. When given the choice between believing thousands of scientists who have worked and studied global warming for years, or believing some blowhard druggie who flunked out of college, I'm going to have to go with the scientists.

[WillPostForFood]

Global warming is true. But its blown completely out of proportion by politicians. We are not rapidly destroying the earth into certain death and doom. Thats just...Stupid. All a scheme to sound up to date and concerned about the welfare and global safety of the poor citizens.

No, not even close.

I'll tell you one thing that's absolute fact: I know of a planet going through warming significant enough that the ice caps are melting at a very fast rate. If the warming continues unabated, the water level might rise by 33 feet worldwide. No one is quite sure about the exact details of why it is warming or how we might stop it (if we want to). The ice caps are melting, the world is warming, and everything may completely change if we don't act.

Guess where I'm talking about: Mars.

Yes, our great buddy Mars is going through Global Warming and the ice caps are melting. I just heard this week that radar probing measured the amount of ice in the caps: enough water for an 11 meter deep ocean around the whole planet. Hrmm, do you think humans are responsible for that Global Warming, too? Did our dozen solar-powered rovers really screw up the entire planet?

No, the oceans on Earth won't rise nearly that much. It definitely won't be enough to sink Florida completely. Probably no more than 2 feet rise, at the absolute worst (total melt). Now, we have to wonder, if Mars is going through "abnormal" warming, too, perhaps it isn't just humans causing our planet to warm.

The absolute worst part of the Global Warming "movement' of environmentalists is their attempts to Guitl Trip the entire world into doing what they say. Sorry, buckos, but no one has any idea what the hell is actually causing the warming or what will really happen from it. We have guesses, but your solutions still suck.

I will conclude thus: Global Warming < Chuck Norris. He'll roundhouse kick it in the face when the time comes. (That's how much merit this topic deserves at the moment)

Most scientists do believe global warming is happening, but that doesn't mean they all think florida and new yourk will be covered in water in a hundred years. That's a bit extreme, don't you think? Most scientists who bielieve in global warming call it a natural cycle of relatively inconsequential temperature changes. None of what we've seen in the past few decades is off the charts when you compare it to what we've seen in the past five hundred to a thousand years.

[The-Weapon]

According to temperature graphs, we are still in the ice age. The age of the dinosaurs sported temps well over 100 degrees worldwide. And if the temperature was still dropping, then explain these results.

polar ice cap studies

Global Warming is simply a tool that is exaggerated by the media, to create an illusion that we actually need them.

He doesn't have any right to call you an idiot, but scienfitically speaking people are VERY ignorant about the real effects of global warming.

Try doing this at home, take a cup of water, put some ice cubs in it, let it melt, see how much it rises.

Glaciers in water dont cause water to rise very much.

infact the oceans are expect to rise only 3 feet.

The problem with global warming is the weather changes, the increased fresh water in the oceans changes the gulf stream currents, making the polar regions colder and the equatorial regions hotter, which has a greatly increased effect on the ammount of precipitation and dangerous weather such as hurricanes and what not.

i believe that 90% of global warming is natural and 1% is caused by our suicidal earth^_^ with its volcanoes, and other natural disaster crap, and the 9% is caused by us humans. :)

He said it in his post, "i believe".

[Menace2Sobriety]

Anyone who relies on the "I'll be so like dead, so I totally don't care" copout shouldn't even reply to this. The fact is that in certain countries, over 85% of the plant life residing there (such as in Madagascar) has been wiped clean to feed lumber industries and clear land for strip mining to give more to fossil fuels. Companies that rely on these source pour forth noxious fumes that have proven beyond a doubt at this point to deplete the protective layers of the O - zone.
I don't really think it's a matter of "Are we killing our planet" anymore, more of a "Which way are we going to ultimately do so?"
Conservationalists are rarely heard (I mean the real ones, leaving out the protest loving Greenpeace and PETA, which while their hearts are in the right place, they just continue to make public jokes of themselves), especially when put before a board of government officials who rely on funding from the very same businesses which are destroying the environment to continue to live their cushy lifestyles.
The ultimate point is, all the effort being made to restore natural wildlife, both flora and fauna, is null at this point, because the rate of restoration is dwarfed by the rate of deforestation. We can all say we try, and give a buck to charity to sleep well, but mankinds existence on Earth will ultimately leave it a hollow, lifeless shell.

If they're telling the truth, that shouldn't and, in fact, doesn't Matter.

Conservationalists tell EVERYONE to reduce natural resource consumption. Not just 3rd world countries.

Oh, and btw, we still support clearcutting.

Uh-huh, by living in houses with electricity, getting to their locations by cars and all while telling people in Africa who live in horrendous conditions to keep dying at the age of 35-40.

They tell their doctors to use a means of obtaining electricity that won't even operate the entire building. But I guarantee they wouldn't be saying that if they had to be rushed to a hospital because of a heart attack.

"For Forest Regeneration", when needed. Read. I was talking about doing so without the forest in mind.

[Der-Ubermensch]

The "why" seems insignificant at this point in time. We should be focusing on bracing ourselves for it.

Electricity / resource consumption has been so intrinsically linked wiht our culture that its impossible for us to separate the two. Come on, don't pull that bullshit argument.

Unless the conservationalists move to Africa and live among the tribesmen, they cannot fully give up resources. What they're trying to do is stop consumption early in the development of these countries so they don't fall into the same trap that we did.

Perhaps we can find alternative methods that will work in both these devolping nations, and our own nation of wretched excess.

I can. Why? Because an entire group of people are being deprived of what could give them a great and healthy life style by people who don't even abide by what they preach.

Prove the trap. You can't prove Global Warming yet as man-made.

So you're going to keep letting them live in their condition based on speculation.

And refuse to do so themselves. Most GW supporters drive huge SUVs in convoys, have their own personal planes, and use 20x more energy than the average household.

Perfect example:

Look over the descriptions of the following two houses, and see if you can tell which one belongs to an environmentalist.

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the temperate South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps, which draw ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20-room energy guzzling mansion) is outside Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as “the Texas White House,” it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

The only problem with the above example found at www.theothersideofkim.com is that it should say House #1 is ONE of Gore's many mansions.
