Nobel Peace Prize

I still have my questions as well but obviously any idiot knows that the amount of carbon we are releasing and the fact that we are dependent on non renewable energy that for one will be gone one day is in itself reason to adopt these practices.

So in otherwords, don't question authority. Don't find other possible motives behind "global warming." Did you know that Global Warming is not a scientific fact? Perhaps it's real, but then again, there is no proof of its existence... just very good rhetoric to persuade you into thinking it's real.

Know what he is saying is don't waste time and energy finding faults in someone if you really need to question global warming then research the fact of global warming and build your case off facts and come back with a case for your viewpoint not the imperfections of a man who spends more time in one week trying to research, protect and educate the world on global warming because global warming or not fossil fuels will run out and they are one of if not the dirtiest forms of energy and I don't see how anyone claim that that is not damaging to our planet is beyond me espescially with problems like smog and acid rain at all time highs and the bigger society gets and the "smaller" we make the world through travel the worse it will get and now is the time to start so that future form of transportation will be cleaner and more efficient. Plus newer forms of fuels will be cheaper once introduce on a large scale.

But believe it or not you can't believe it isn't damaging to the planet for things to continue the way they are going.

Nobel Peace Prize So today Al Gore won the 2007 nobel peace prize: "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change" Now why cant we focus on this stuff instead of war and prohibition?

Personally I am not sure if it exists or not. It's questionable.

I made my comments under the assumption that all involved in this thread have been sufficiently exposed to the evidence that supports humankind's influence on the status of the ecosystem. I for one have exhausted all natural explanations I can for GW besides that humans have caused it, and any other hypothesis other than human influence seems, to me, to stretch reason to a critical degree.

Of course it's questionable. It still is questionable to many scientists, especially since the ones who are convinced can't explain precisely what will occur as a result of g.w. It's far too complex and lurid to spell it out exactly. They were even surprised at the rate at which the ice caps are melting each season (ten times faster).

Sometimes the "authority" is the authority for good reason.

You can spend the rest of your days wondering about it, and never come to any reasonable conclusion. I believe a better approach is to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. People insure their houses not knowing for sure if they'll need it, why don't we act that way about the earth?

This whole theory of global warming was given modest consideration and and scrutiny dating back to the 60's. I'd love it if we didn't perpetuate the inaction into our current "period of consequences." I can grow a tree out of my head and if you thought it was just an eccentric hairstyle, I couldn't do anything to change your mind.
