Global Warming: fact, fantasy, good idea ?

[EvilDave]

The great global warming debate can start now:

[guybrushthreepwood]

What do you think? I'm not sure about it. Just because the planet is getting hotter slightly I don't think that means it must be down to man made causes.

More than a billion gas-driven vehicles polluting the environment every day. Try to imagine one billion cars. Now try to imagine one billion cars not affecting the environment.

Impossible, right.

[howzar]

I think it's a fact and is most likely caused by pollution made by humans as well as the natural sources.

The 13 Terrorist European Bloodlines of the Devil worshipers cult Illuminati are responsible for global warming.  .

Hahaha, nicely pointed sir!

[5thStreetResearch]

its the work of the Illuminati

It's a myth to earn money I see it every day.

Where there is action, concludes reaction.

1. Cars, and other forms of transportation that causes gases.

Prime example would be LA, look how much pollution there is..you wake up and take for a hike in malibu.

You can clearly see the clouds covering, but its not clouds its pollution.

I think it`ll take forever to do some serious damage on anything. Its similar to the "OMG" we are running out of oil.


But, if your worried...

Find a tree organization, have them adopt bitpay, then we can have forever trees lol.

Actor_Tom_Truong is that you?  

You gotta add in every bloodline in the rothchild too. lol.

True, this is getting a bit boring.

probably people will find a way to survive, but until then, Earth gonna suffer more

[yogi]

If mans contribution to climate change turn out to be insignificant, should we try and control the climate anyway?

[Haidang1796]

if living under the water is possible then human dont have to worry anymore water is one of the inevitable elements

[SomeoneInNeed]

Well, Global Warming is real. Humans have been filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases for centuries now.
But, it is highly unlikely that the Earth dies from it in the future. As we are advancing with the technology we are getting more and more environment friendly by the day.
What's more likely is a Climate Shift that leads to another Ice Age.

Just because Ice is Melting doesn't mean to say it's from man made pollution. The earth has been too hot to sustain life and too cold several times. Maybe we're just on another natural cycle?

Human caused global warming is a fact, there is no debate.  Both sides are politicizing it which should be a big no-no in science, but it apparently put up with.

The real question is not whether it's real (it is) -- the real question is "who cares?"  Why is it bad if we change the environmental stability?  Nature kills things all the time.  We have the technology to adapt to whatever new conditions we create, and if it gets bad enough that we can't breathe or something, green technology will rise in value and we'll go back to that route.  Who cares if we kill all the polar bears?  Nature's been eradicating species forever.

Now I don't happen to subscribe to that philosophy-- I think we should value and preserve our ecosystem.  BUT that argument is the only actually decent one for the anti global warming camp.  The argument about whether it's real is not an  argument.  That's been settled.  The only viable argument is that it's not unethical to cause global warming.

How is it a fact? "Scientific understanding of the cause of global warming has been increasing. In its fourth assessment (AR4 2007) of the relevant scientific literature, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that scientists were more than 90% certain that most of global warming was being caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities. 90% isn't 100%. I don't think anyone can say it's a fact."

I'm sure I read once that cows contribute more pollution than cars.

In 2003, the government of New Zealand proposed a flatulence tax, which was not adopted because of public protest.
