Global warming is just a bunch of overly hyped BS.
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?

Did'nt we all know everything at that age? Makes you wonder about their education system though

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:

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)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

I'd be interested to know how you formed this opinion. Fox news perhaps?
No, common sense. I will not be a victim of political manipulation. Whether or not the earth's temperature rose by a few degrees or not. Its not an inferno, not until the nukes go off.

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.

The whole global warming this is stupid, its a scam. What are people going to think of global warming when we enter an ice age?

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.

The sun. Wood, and other flammable biological material is basically stored energy from the sun.

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

No it came from the air, converted into wood with the help of the sun and then put back into the air when the wood is burned. .

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?

unless of course you can tell the future and can see a later inconvenience. I also understand that with interlocking economies and governmental entities, if one of us is inconvenienced by something like climate change, then there is a significant number of who are inconvenienced as well. The whole point of what I am trying, did try, to say is that yep there is change but I seriously doubt that any supposed cure will do anything other than cause even more problems - and, change is constant anyway, and just how do you know how to fine tune a climate when you can't even predict the weather?

We don't know if in the long term Global Warming is good or bad for the earth. However it does seem as if it will be a major problem for US over the next century or so. More generally, we seem to be seeing massive species loss. That's very sad. In the very long term it may not be a problem, we've seen worse in the past. However I'm kind of more bothered about the short term as neither I nor my immediate descendants are going to be around that long. I suspect that both the human race and the ecosystem will survic=ve the immediate crises. Probably m,assive global war is more of a tyhreat. However if global warming is a reality then there are going to be some very large population movements and probably resultant wars.
