That is what is causing all the hurricanes.

The damn greenhouse effect.

Oh great, the lib parrot speaks again.

Tells us all about global warming, cyanide.

Make sure you refer to the periodic changes in weather that have been occuring for... well... ever.  Also, I would like to know the actual change in temperature from 1950 to 2004 and how this number compares to temperature changes that have taken place in the past.

Oh, and the info must come from a legitimate source.

A .5 to .75 degree F increase in temperature over the past 100 years doesn't concern me much.  You also seem to forget, or didn't know, that Earth is still warming from the last ice age and there have been times when Earth was warmer than it is now.

Plus, in addition to ice-age cycles we are currently in, and larger climatic cycles we don't understand, and sunspot and other sun-based cycles we don't undertand - the planet overall is VERY slowly cooling, as the molten core gradually cools down over millions of years.

So a little global warming - whether it's fiction or not - might be a very good thing.

Yes, the earth was warmer during the Middle Ages, when the population increased along with the increase in temp. Moderate temp increase is therefore a good thing, based upon past history.

Most climate scientists don't believe that global warming is responsible for the hurricanes, by the way.

Even if there is "global warming", it's a natural phenomenon, not caused by man. Don't worry, it will cool back down - and that won't be because of man either.

Personally I believe we are definately warming our climate more then would naturally occur.  

I believe there are places in the poles and in AK that have risen by more then 4F in the last 20 years or so.  Large pieces of ice melting or breaking off, more then should have were it just natural.

So a little global warming - whether it's fiction or not - might be a very good thing.



Also, don't forget that the Sahara Desert actually use to be all forest. However, from what I've read, the axis of the planet's rotation shifted something like 1/2 to 1 degree and just completely changed the environment of the planet.

One of my favorite things when countering global warming is the fact that we have had four known ice ages. I ask people that think global warming is such a concern if they know about the ice ages. Most do. I then ask them what do they think caused the ice to melt in between the several different ice ages. When I ask them what they think caused the ice to melt in between the different ice ages they have several different response to even saying, "I don't know".

However, when I ask them what they think about what is causing the globe to heat up today, if in fact it is, they always claim that's it's because humans have put so much green house gases into the atmosphere. So I ask them about green house gases. The only one they can name is CO2. Then I inform them, that from ice samples taken, there was twice as much CO2 in the atmosphere 160 million years ago than there is today. So I ask them, what caused all that? Dinosaur farts?



Were there comet impacts around that time?  Maybe hightened volcanic activity.

The better questions would be, how do the GH gasses compare between now, and the other warming periods (including the one you mentioned).

No idea really. I just thought it was strange that I learned that from some "Global Warming" display in the air port on Kuai Hawaii. They didn't say what it was caused by. My point was that humnas didn't even exist then and something else created all the CO2 back then which means we aren't even as significant as we think we are. My guess is that we have had absolutely nothing with global warming. If we have, it has to be so minute that it isn't even mentionable.

Cyanide,
Everyone is right. Our planet, including the climate and physical geography is, and always has been, in a constant state of change. Our ever changing solar system is also constantly exerting changes on our planet.  
So I guess its O.K. to say FUCK IT! and pollute all you want because there is no proof  that anything you do has any adverse effect on the future existence of mankind!  
I think most people like to right it off that way because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy to be able to say they haven't done anything to contribute to any problems.
My opinion is "I don't know but maybe we should start 'thinking' about being a little more careful just to be on the safe side."

CO will kill you right off. It just doesn't have much in the way of long term effects. The major emissions with potential long term impact are not dangerous. They be CO2 and H2O. Although I hear H2O can be dangerous . . .

Cyanide, I suggest you stay away from open 5 gallon buckets containing H2O. You could be killed.

According to leading Brit scientists and botanists, the earth naturally produces the VAST majority of CO2... not humans.... and it is actually a good thing, theoretically.

What the bad part is, according to them, is the destruction of vast forest systems... (Save the rainforest stuff)

The problem is, environmental morons can't get past that one point.

Auto emissions haven't been shown to cause any long term damage. Global warming so far is the only contender, and it is far from proven. Efforts to deal with this (still theoretical) problem won't--by any climate models--have a significant impact on global warming even if it is being driven by emissions. But such efforts will have an immense impact on our economy if enacted.

At this point, the correct course of action is to not enact Kyoto or similar treaties. We should make full use of the most efficient (as determined by the market) energy supply.

You're just an attention whore.

Or maybe shift the attention somewhere else now. But it's the truth. You're a sad, pathetic little person.
