Scared by the latest prediction by the UN?

I burn gas at night just for the hell of it.

 

Just wait for Apophis. (99942)

 

its all bs and propaganda. There is no global warming and Im sure there are plenty of Conservationsist out there to keep the little animals from going extinct. Oh and the Hybrid car is worse for the environment than any Mercedes Diesel out there. JJ

 

The world is going to end in 2027 anyway. I think that's the year, something close to that.

 

Maybe you should start a poll to see if members are really worried about globalwarming...?

 

i too am shocked joe. the signs are apparent but the truth is most people just do not care. i am shocked.

 

The thing with global warming is everyone is freaking out over half a degree, but we haven't been tracking the changes long enough to know if the cause really is use Humans, or if it's just natural changes in the worldly climate. The climate of the world changes all the time, and this could just be a heating up period that lasts a few hundred years, then things turn back to normal. It's such an involved process, way more than half a degree temperature change, to keep this planet running like it does. People forget that sometimes. You have to look at the big picture, meaning since way back before the dino days, and I don't mean dino Ferrari's either.

How would we really know what the temperature was 100,000 years ago?

 

As of this writing, 3/5 of the US is set to have a cold Easter.

Al Gore latched on to something years ago, that "something" was an expression:

Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) has often been quoted as saying: "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." (although it appears his collaborator on The Gilded Age, Charles Dudley Warner, actually wrote the statement).

It's really very simple - sunspots and solar flares. They've been more active for years, now. The more active solar flares, sunspots and loops are, the hotter it gets.

This article explains solar flares and how the sun itself is "only" 6,000 degrees Celsius, but, it's corona is 2 million degrees. I don't care for Corona, myself, whether it's ice cold, warm, or has a lime in it.

How to read ancient weather - Beryllium 10 is our friend.

Dome F

Two deep ice cores were drilled near the Dome F summit ( 77°19′S, 39°42′E, altitude 3,810 m). The first drilling started in August 1995, reached a depth of 2503 m in December 1996 and covers a period back to 320,000 years. The second drilling started in 2003, was carried out during three subsequent austral summers from 2003/2004 until 2005/2006, and by then a depth of 3,029 m was reached. This core greatly extends the climatic record of the first core, and, according to first estimates, it reaches back until 730,000 years.

Anyway, nobody's going to make any money if they say nothing can be done about the weather.

But, if they say they can, ka-ching!

 

The earth has many different cycles. Maybe this so called "global warming" is part of a cycle, a NATURAL cycle.

 

It was 81° a couple of days ago in DFW, today it was 39° with sleet. Mother Nature must be going through menopause.

 

If you'd subscribed, you could have been in on the half dozen long threads on this topic in P&R.

But it's April, and there's snow on the lawn in the DC area. It's snowing in *Texas* fer sagan's sake.

Is this "global warming" or "snowball warming"?

Let a computer chew on the numbers enough, and you wind up with a bland paste you can spread on any shape.

Remember the hole in the ozone? Acid rain? Every few years, there seems to be a new reason why individual citizens owning private vehicles is "bad".

It couldn't be that governments just don't want to have to deal with traffic management, could it?

 

Lol



GOREbal warming

 

That reminds me, I have to throw some more wood in the stove.

 

No, because it's BS. Gorebal Warming is a propoganda front

Got some time for a documentary?

While I haven't read 99.5% of your 9600+ posts, that's the most intelligent thing I've ever seen you say.

100% true though. People are latching on to this "hot topic" of global warming, because it's conveinent, popular and now seems the time to push the issue.

If the earth is really warming, the ice caps would be melting and the worlds largest fresh water lake (Lake Superior, wich I live next to) would be 20" above normal rather than 20" below normal....

The only reall thing humans need to understand, is that the earth will be here long after we are gone...

 

2012 according to the mayans

 

Back in the 60's and early 70's the big thing being taught at school, and in the newspapers, was the impending ice age and how we were all going to freeze to death.

Well, they got it wrong then - what makes you think they'll get it right this time?

cava

 

oh yes...and the snows will remain on mt. Kilimanjaro? not really melting huh?

and the glaciers...long for this world also?

and what is this b.s. called science? they do not know anything cause it feels pretty cold to me today!!!
