Global warming

yeah, but it doesn't hurt the earth it only hurts us (and i didn't think i need to say it, but iguess i do...) every other living thing... look all i'm saying, is quit acting like you want to 'save the earth' when you're only saving yourself... stop lying to the people.. and be honest about it.. you're scared to die, and you're scared for life as you know it to stop existing.... atleast fucking admit it, fear is a human (and animal, show me one animal that doesn't show fear in one way or another) emotion....

i also don't see the point in arguing over this technicallity... but if you want to continue, go ahead, i'm drunk and will be for the next couple of hours and have no problem arguing stupid points/technicalities when i'm drunk...

this is just my opinion. but.......i dont really give two shits either way because im not going to be around to suffer, and neither are any of my children simply because im not going to have any.(vasectomy)
this doesnt mean that i litter and dont recycle and all that whatnot, not because i care about the planet, but because dping community service has taught me not to.
i HATE picking up trash, and im sure other people feel the same way. if we all didnt litter then there would be almost no community service to do.

Who are you talking to? Quoting people makes the debate much easier.


As for the fear of death, that has NO factor at all in just about everyone who acknowledges global warming.



Let me ask you this real quick: If global warming exists, what is the final outcome of it? 1. Everyone overheats and we will kill off things that way. 2. Ice age.

dude, i feeel guilty about what exactly? lol.. and who am i bashing? i'm just offering my opinion on it all..

and yes i know quoting people on exactly who i'm responding to makes it easier, but at times, i'm not exactly replying to any one person, even if in the post i start to reply to someone's post... i'm just offering my opinion, i probably should have quoted certain people (since people are having so much trouble following what i'm saying, instead of just hearing my opinion in the matter) but i'm kinda drunk, and don't feel like going back and quoting people on it.. probably won't feel like going back and doing it in the morning either (even if we had an unlimitable edit feature)

billion, btw, how did you construe i feel 'guilty' there's a few things i feel guilty about in this life.. but it's nothing i've said here, trust me :p.

oh also, i'm not 'bashing' anyone who differs in opinion of me, sorry if you feel that way, i honestly am, that's not my intention... everyone is entitled to their opinion, EVERYONE..

Come on man, answer my question without doing any research. I wanna know how much you know about global warming during this debate.

oh, i don't actually know the answer i guess. but like i said... i don't believe in whatever they wanna call it... i'll admit i'm not he most educated, i believe what history teaches us (history repeats itself afterall).. the planet has frozen over before (more than one time, not sure how many, i don't have that great of memory, i just remember it was more than once) so eventually, that will be our (or should i say the planets actually) fate eventually.... i dont' know if all living life forms will burn and perish in the time before that.... knowledge is power... but being more 'educated' on a certain subject, doesn't make you anymore right in that subject...

lol i'd actually like to see that.

POWERFUL evidence for global warming has been discovered by scientists funded by the US Government, demolishing the chief argument of sceptics who deny that the phenomenon is real.
A new analysis of satellite data has revealed that temperatures in a critical part of the atmosphere are rising much faster than previously thought, strengthening the scientific consensus that the world is warming at an unnatural rate.

http://www.mng.org.uk/green_house/threat/threat6.htm

even OUR government has admitted it now....the only reason they didn't before is because it wasn't profitable.

IT IS TRUE.

All I know is, things are definitely changing around here...and if the climate WAS to continue changing at the rate it currently is, it could cause irreparable damage for ourselves and more drastically the generations immeadiately following us. The critic/optimist in me wants to think the earth is strong enough to handle anything we throw at it...but we weren't exactly thinking about any environmental repercussions when we discovered our favorite new fuel.

If there's anything we can do to fix this, it's worth it to try. And there is a healthy ammount of evidence we CAN fix it. The alternative is being responsible assisting in the extinction of a multitude of species on earth, possibly even our own...which isn't nice to do after the years of evolution it took to get here.

Life will find a way. It allways has. Even when all of the oceans where dried up to saltbeds, life dug down into the ground and sat there until it was safe again. When the oceans filled up again and shit got back to normal, life sprang back. I can respect anyones opinion, but I'm with slipknotpsycho on this one. I think the earth will outlive us by long strides that is of course unless a bigass meteor hits us or the sun burns out or a gamma ray hits us and cooks us to toast. I honestly don't think there's anything we can do to stop the wheels that are in motion. We may die, but the earth will live on. Just remember it's surived a lot worse than some hot weather. The planet was barren at one time you know...
