In response to all the global warming threads, who thinks its a myth, or true?

[Mr_Pat]

I voted myth BUT the fact is global warming has been happening from the time of the last ice age. Itc a cycle. The earth has warmed and cooled countless times.

Its a myth that its are fault...

[DRTYFN]

All of this alarmist bullsh*t is Al Gore's fault. Gore is an lying imbecile.

Exactly.

Climate change is cyclic and related to other factors like polar creep.

Isn't your REAL QUESTION ...

DO YOU THINK GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSED BY MAN

or

IS IT A NATURAL OCCURANCE THAT HAPPENS EVERY XXXXX YEARS ?

You hit the nail on the head. Do I feel its caused by man. No. There was a video link that was posted on here that powerfully refuted that humans are the cause of it. They attributed it to solar activity. Was a very good video. I feel its a natural thing that happens every so often...everything goes in cycles....

if you are looking to get funding for a project....just tie it to global warming.....so if you want study the wear pattern of the wheel bearings on an H2, tie it to global warming and you will get large amounts of funding!

I've seen many chat rooms filled with questions such as these and the resident people continue to dispute anthropogenic causes of climate change.

Let me ask what you do for a living so that I can tell you how to do your job better, how to analyze your data better and tell you where you're judgment is faulty. Sounds silly, huh? So let's chat away about the feasibility of climate change and how moronic the majority of climate scientists are. Certainly we are equipped to intelligently pick apart their data and arrive at a much more practical, comfortable prediction that we can live with.

One part of why we exist on this planet is an hospitable atmosphere. It doesn't matter how you look at it, taking all the carbon that's been sequestered in the ground over millions of years and pumping it into our atmosphere will create an inbalance and have consequences. Whether or not those consequences are of importance to you is another matter. Based on the nature of humanity thus far, and how everything is valued by profit only, I'm guessing we will continue to conduct ourselves in the same manner (no matter the rate of extinction) until we don't have food on our table due to loss of arable land or drought, and there is a migration from coastal areas to the degree that our comfortable living has been disrupted.

My local news network had a segment about global warming. There were climate scientists that were explaining the realism of climate change and then one gentleman that "debunked" their data. This individual that provided the debunking is a party that receives a large amount of funding from oil companies. So when a prior poster states that we should "follow the money", I would concur.

Due to the fact that oil is a finite resource, and that there are many other developing nations that require vast amounts of this limited resource, and that there is another human being born every second on this planet.......do we not have reasons other than climate change to worry about the degree, and for what reasons, we use this limited resource? Would it not be better to prepare for a future of lesser quantities of this resource? It is a certainty that we will be confronted with this position and we'd better be prepared. Our entire agricultural base relies on sound philosophies/practices concerning oil.

[deserth3]

Actually crude oil is a renewable resource. We are just using it faster than nature can create it.
Crude oil is also a poison to the earth. Where it came to the surface it would kill all animal and plant life.
So if you look at this way we are doing the earth a favor.

Global warming is real. But not for the reasons Al Gore and all his fellow tree huggers would like you to think. RYD is correct.

True. And I'll bet the dinosaurs believed they would always roam the planet. One of the things that gets me in the "global warming" debate is the arrogant belief that the human species (or any species for that matter) is meant to inhabit this planet for all eternity. And the even more arrogant belief that we actually have any control over that.
