Good luck bro! I understand the desire to educate the ignorant (I use that word in the literal sense, not in a demeaning way). This is a really important issue, in the macro sense, mis-leading folks into believing in this totally faith based myth, is actually an attempt to reign in and destroy us, America. IMO. If these numb-nuts, get their way, their ideal, life as we know it would be destroyed. So trying to educate the easily influenced as to the facts is a good thing. I know that I had started a thread on this very topic many many moons ago. I am here to tell you, there are some true believers that will never allow themselves to hear anything that contradicts their narrow world view, you will never convince them no matter what. Some will be open to discussion, and those are the minds that you may change.
I would like to point out today the way we live is way far superiour to the way the 3rd world lives as far as the "impact" on the environment. When's the last time you saw piles of horse shit in the streets from all those clean, green horse drawn buggies. When's the last time you say piles of fire at every home, burning all sorts of nice things out in the open for warmth and light? Never mind doing it in an enclosed hut, and sleeping w/ it day in and day out. There is a reason life expectancy is higher than it ever has been in our country, technology, advancement of our society. The very things these shiny turds would have you all believe are ruining the planet. If an oil tanker spilled off the coast of Somolia, do you think they could clean it up? Do you think years later people would be able to walk on those same beaches and watch wild animals thriving as they always have?
Can anyone explain how man made co2 emissions are causing other planets in our solar system to warm? I assume that is what accounts for the global warming on Mars correct? Can someone explain the percent of CO2 in our atmosphere as compared to other gases, and then explain exactly how that is affecting our climate? Why isn't the upper atmosphere warmer than the surface?
When I was a kid in public indoctrination institutions, I was told that by the time I was 30, the rain forrests would all be gone! Scary huh? Sat images show there are more today than there were 25 years ago. Still waiting for all the fish in the ocean to disappear as well LOL! Oh, don't forget the hole in the O-zone, and the polar ice caps which are melting, then re-forming, then melting, then re-forming, as they have done for thousands of years. Notice how the news isn't covering that anymore? Wonder why? LOL Can anyone explain the fact that Al's famous graph actually shows CO2 amounts in the atmosphere rising as a result of increase temps, as opposed to what he claims, that co2 increases and causes temps to increase? Hello? Just try it at home, boil some water on the stove, then get a pot of water and just exhale on it alot, see which one shows a temp increase in relation to a co2 increase! LMAO
People are so damn gullable, as long as someone wears a suit and tie, they will believe anything!
Like I said Jag, good luck, I have been there, done this, it just spiraled into a long ass thread that eventually led nowhere. At some point, no doubt some douche will come along and no matter how out of context, they will make the famous Bush/Hitler comparisson, I also predict you will be called multiple names for simply stating objective facts, simply because they do not jive w/ what so many have been told to believe.
