    I suggest you get checked out by a good psychiatrist and don't vote until you are able to think strait again. I can no longer take you seriously.

      Global warming is just a bunch of overly hyped BS. Its just a way to get you to hand over your wallet in the name of the polar bears and the future children of the world who wont be able to chase butterflies in tall grassy fields if we don't pay up. I won't fall for it and I don't care what people tell me. I won't believe it until I experience warm(60F) rainy days in February for more than one year. Right now its much colder than the average temperature and it snowing like crazy like a normal winter day.

      And I suppose you've checked out the evidence and can back up that statement? I guess all the scientists that believe in global warming and all the scientific studies conducted are part of some massive conspiracy theory to save “polar bears”? I guess you can just pump as much CO2 as you like into the atmosphere with no ill effects? Do you really believe your bullshit of are you just trying to be controversial?

            Without global warming, that'd have been -20F, 15 inches of snow, and you'd not have had power and thus would have been unable to post this message :rolleyes:

            So for some percentage of the planet global warming will be a good thing? What percentage? 5%? 25% 65% Hmmm.... (Keep that pot stirring everybody!)

            I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

                Common sense…. Surely common sense dictates that an expert on some subject knows more about it than a layman and as such his opinion should be valued over that of the layman; even if the layman happens to be you! If 1000's of experts concur then the argument – common sense would dictate – is all the stronger. The earth is a big system and as such has lots of “momentum”. By the time the problem is evident to stubborn small minded people such as yourself it’s too late to fix it on any reasonable time scale.

                        Ask yourself this - where did the carbon molecule in the CO2 come from? (Hint - where does the energy produced by burning a piece of wood ultimately come from?)

                            On the contrary Heinze, I do think there will be another ice age. My comment was regarding why you think that refutes global warming. Maybe it is the name that is confusing you? Global warming. I know it takes some passing intelligence to understand the concept credited to that term, but I'm sure even you are able to read? Heck, they even have coloured pictures to look at now, so you really have no excuse for being this dumb.

                                Burning wood can be carbon Neutral or better. It all depends on how you harvest and grow the wood. .

                                      On the contrary Heinze, I do think there will be another ice age. My comment was regarding why you think that refutes global warming. Maybe it is the name that is confusing you? Global warming. I know it takes some passing intelligence to understand the concept credited to that term, but I'm sure even you are able to read? Heck, they even have coloured pictures to look at now, so you really have no excuse for being this dumb.

                                      I hope there will be another ice age. It's horrible to think it might all just stop. .

                                          My own personal opinion is, yes we have climate change taking place but I'm not sure it is problematic, except to those inconvenienced by it, because it has happened before and will happen again.

                                          Its a question of scale. If the current change is 1000's of times greater than anything recorded over the last few 100,000 years would you be concerned?

                                          Concerned? sure. hell, I'm concerned now. However, I bet I'm not as concerned as prehistoric man was when he saw glaciers encroaching or subsequently when he saw glaciers retreating. Here's the deal, is today's climate ok for you? Frankly I prefer the climate in the 50's and 60's when I was a kid. You might prefer the climate as it existed five years ago, or maybe next year's climate. Is it bad all over? Maybe it's cooling in the outback while it is warming at the North and South poles, is that bad? And why should I listen to the hysteria that claims we have a problem. 20 years ago I was told we're heading for an ice age. a couple of years ago the earth was warming. now we've decided on climate change, and I agree with that , it is obvious. But who is the prescient authority we should follow, and just how do you or Chris or anyone else honestly know what is right for the earth?
