If you actually feel this way to your fellow man and can't have even the slightest open mind to someone elses opinions, then my freind you are an ass.

Until you can at least attempt to see things form another point of veiw or allow people to see if from theirs, then we will never get along.

Good luck with your long boring journey through life. I'm sorry to say I won't be walking down your road.

Since the industrial revolution we have observed global warming. I dont think youâ??re denying what has been observed... so what is someone who says that didnâ??t happen? Well what do you call someone who either doesnâ??t believe a fact or is too lazy to find it?
insane or ignorant... maybe.


I understand the inherent uncertainty in science. But, I believe that this uncertainty is capitalized by people trying to push pseudoscience because people donâ??t understand this uncertainty and its effects on scientific conclusions

To be completely honest I donâ??t believe there is opinion on this subject. You keep saying I donâ??t attempt to understand others opinions, right? It is because they arenâ??t stating opinions, they are making statements about the nature of reality! Were is the room for opinion? Only one thing is occurring; how can their be opinions on what is happening?

Well all I can say is that I hope your wrong. And, I also accept that the world as we know it will “end” one day and that doesn’t bother me. I also don’t consider myself a “radical” maybe compared to your community though, but not were I’m from.

There is no consensus if we have reached the point of no return with global warming. Most authors I’ve read have said no, but their worried. I believe that humans can release just over 200 giga tones of CO2 b4 the point is reached. But that is only one persons estimates. Anyways I really don’t want to debate anything to do with climate change.

Are you from the states? If so, it’s kinda funny that you’ve given up hope for the planet when the US gov. doesn’t recognize global warming is occurring.

If anything, global warming is keeping shit tolerable for us just a little longer. Mother nature will catch up and climates everywhere will be wayy off but it's not global warming. Don't beleive Gore. Hairspray and SUV's are not killing hte planet and he did not invent the internet.

Co2 emitting machines are killing our oceans, and eventually the plant. I'm a scholar of marine biology, and it's just amazing how much damage we are doing to our planet. Humans will kill the planet and themselves within the next few centuries if we don't change our ways.

lol something you need to learn, first and foremost.. is almost none of the american people agree with their government (yes i'm from the states) and personally, i don't even pay attention to political affairs anymore.. it's mostly all lies and bullshit anyways.. i was just born here, i wouldn't exactly call myself 'american' and yeah, i hope i'm wrong too... i have a 2 year old son that still has far more years then i do.. and probably when he grows up, he'll have a son that is far to out live him.... but what worries me, is that i know what i'm talking about, and am right.... and so what about authors? personally i think of anyone or anything like i do the government (atleast authors, tv stations and the like that stand to gain MONEY by selling themselves) they say what the people 'want' to hear to gain more money.. i base what i feel, off of many accounts, and many theories, not just one... if the majority of whatever i'm using as 'refrence' feel some way, more than usual, it's true.. also, i live in america, so of course anyone who goes against what they think is 'radical' but honestly, i only say you're a 'radical' because you think you can stop what the world is already (and has been, and always has been, since it works in cycles) or even slow down, is doing...

i personally (not saying everyone else feels this way) it's just better to not get yourself all worked up, stressed out or freaking out, becasue what is going to happen, IS GOING to happen no matter what we do.... just sit back and let fate take it's course... cuz there is literally nothing we can do to stop it... though i'm sure, if we really tried... we might find an alternative... maybe somehow... (or maybe it's just the movies talking) but it'd end up being alot worse and coming alot faster, then what we had instore before... i say just sit back and enjoy the ride... cuz any attempt is futile and waste of energy and precious time, time you could have spent doing something else.... and i garuntee if 'it' came in our life time, you'd be sitting there wondering why, and feeling sorry for yourself, for not spending more time doing what you SHOULD have spending time with...

even if we do quit, we will eventually... haven't hundreds of years of 'science' taught you that, yet? what will happen, WILL happen... we don't change that, nor can we... this planet will eventually kill us, just like it has everything before it, and a new group of species will emerge...

Anything anyone says anywhere is an opinion. How can you not see that. You're basing all of your knowledge on hearsay of others. Other peoples research, books, findings etc...If your source is wrong, then your wrong. I don't have a problem with people concerned with global warming, but I have a problem with people like you. To be honest there's a fair chance that it could be happening, but I never beleive anything to an absolute. Especially when it concerns managing something that has been around millions of years before people started to shit sitting down. But despite how I feel on the subject and other people feel. You find it your place to come here and not only state your opinion (which is fine by me), but you then start to try and 'convince' people to feel the same way. All you have to do is state your opinion and answer any questions about it. There's no need to act like you discovered global warming and it's your sole duty to be sure every beleives the same way.
A perfect example of how to act in this thread would be garden knowm. I thought he made his feelings about it very clear and even offered to send more info about it.
You act like an ass and try to convince me that your right and I'm wrong (I'm assuming that's what you're doing when you type on your babel). You may think you're well versed on the subject and I won't deny that you prolly know more about current events that I do, but you'll never convince anyone of anything other than you have the personality of a turd.
This is a board with members of a website dedicate to weed. People get high and like to write on what they think about stuff. i know that as for myself, I like to type in what I think, read other posts and laugh and then move on. If someone posts something I don't agree with I may ask some questions or otherwise try to get a better understanding, but never state that I'm right and they're wrong. For someone with such a closely shut mind, I'm amazed you ever discovered weed. Must have been handed to you as a child.

Ok rants over, I'm done arguing about it. If I didn't have a decent buzz and was a little bored, I wouldn't have wrote so much. I really try my best to get along with everyone, but sometimes I get aggravated at the arrogant.

lol all i can say is lol. i haven't bothered to read what you and whoever (please tell me it wasn't me lol.... i'm really not even sure) were going against each other with... just breathe dude! breathe! and yes i agree, when you start trying to force your beliefs on someone it becomes a problem, and with something like this, (of this magnitude) it makes you a fanatical nut... but c'mon.. it's a weed-releated website...... no reason to let people get you all huffy-puffy (ok i've done my part to try and calm the situation, continue :D no really, no really lol as one of the 'elders' i feel it's my responibility to step in and try to calm the situation...)

Yea I'm dun with it myself, but you know how you just get all rilled up and your fingers just take off. My own fault for getting lost in my own ramblings. For some reason I don't even tend to think when I'm typing shit out on here (as my spelling and grammer can prove) so I just type any random though that comes into my head.

And harris7 don't take it personal (if possible), I ususally don't argue on the net and I'm not very good at it at all. I'll gladly concede and admit fault on this one.

People really donâ??t understand me on here.

I wasnâ??t insulting you or anything. And I know a lot about America and itâ??s political situation. I literally just think its funny how your position is the polar opposite of our countries.

I do trust some authors. Authors whoâ??s books are endorsed by people I respect, people who have nothing to gain from the endorsement. And everything to loose.
As well Iâ??m going into 3rd year biology, so I understand almost everything these authors talk about, so I can often find out the liars. If you donâ??t trust books, how do you inform yourself?

like i said, i listen to what majority (and i' not talking about a 45% 55% split here.... ) have to offer on the subject, and if applicable, history... history tells us, this has happened, and it's a never ending cycle, that will happen again...
