Global warming

[Bob the Awesome]

Harris, I am interested in your facts and I plan on looking them up later.

I have no opinion on global warming yet as I have not looked over the evidence.

Let me say this though: if the Earth is warming up faster than it is supposed to, to where it will kill everything, we need to stop it. Sound good? OK great, I'm glad we're in agreement.

With that being said, everyone stop the stupid political bickering, this is a question of science, and if you don't have scientific fact or studies or research or things to back up your claims, you're most likely blowing it out your ass.

So please, let's not devolve into a shouting match, just find your evidence and explain why it supports your point of view. And point out the inconsistencies in others logic. But don't do this crap where you all bicker at each other over motives or calling each other 'radicals' or crap, that doesn't get anyone anywhere and makes everybody angry.

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...

Of course we're going to be killed off anyways, but why should we speed that up by thousands of years if we don't have to?

Bob- you make awesome points! Finally someone acknowledges that global warming isn't an issue that you can argue validly on, based on opinions. There is EVIDENCE surrounding this issue, so how come there are so many people speculating about shit and offering their opinions? Do the fricken research people!- knowledge is power anyways...it couldn't hurt.

i'm the only one that used the word radical.... so this is obviously 'agasint me' i have evidence to back up what i say... what about all the times it's happened before.. like i said.. i'm not even saying it will happen in our life times, it could happen thousands of years from now... i'm just saying it will happen..

no matter what anyone tells me we won't speed it up or slow it down... it will happen when it's supposed to happen...

I think I love you,

slip, The changes we are witnessing are not part of a cycle. Thats why everyone is so excited. AS well the earth is heating up 30 times faster than any time in the past.

had to quote this particular part for what i'm about to say...

how many generations of people have felt that their generation was the last, how many groups have said we're at our end... people have always predicted the end is around the corner.. just like now, that we're barely learning anything scientificly and being able to 'predict the future' (in retrospect 50 or so years of being able to predict the future weather, as accurately as it may or may not be, still shows my point, we know nothing!) it's all of the sudden, the end of our world coming up.... you can believe what you want, just as i will believe what i want... us humans, no matter how industrialized, and how many cars we have... are not going to harm the earth.......... and for those that are 'god fearing' do you think if 'he' didn't want us to, we would? basicly i'm trying to offer more sound-mind to those who are religious... for the rest.. look at the facts...

does that mean it's not supposed to happen? does that mean really anything? no.. like i've said so many times before in this post... do you think we, people can have any real effect on the earth? we are microscopic in comparison... and even other then that... we are only 'preserving' us.. not the earth.. no matter what we throw at it, the earth will be here long after we are... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG afterwards, 100's of thousands, if not millions and billions of years..

i just wish all of 'you' would get truthful about it and stop telling us to 'save the earth' we're not saving the earth, we're saving ourselves...

[slipknotpsycho]

You must be really stupid if you think the billions of humans on this Earth do not effect it at all.

Look at germs that cause us illness. They are microscopic in comparison, but some can kill us. Why do you think it's any different for Earth?

We may not ever be able to "destroy" the Earth, but humans could easily destroy the balance that allows us to live here.

i knew someone was going to say that.. but that's something diffrent... although i guess that sounds about like making excuses... but it's the truth.... my main point of my post is we can't do anything to the earth, we can only disrupt/destroy the habbitat we live in (which happens to be earth) we can't make the earth 'sick', or kill it... all we can do is throw off the cycle that supports OUR life, and that was my point...

Watch out for the giant land squids...

how many generations of people have felt that their generation was the last

,

Not that many, outside of religious and cult groups that gain attention, I think most generations knew that the human race will go on after they die.

just like now, that we're barely learning anything scientificly and being able to 'predict the future' (in retrospect 50 or so years of being able to predict the future weather, as accurately as it may or may not be, still shows my point, we know nothing!)

Correct, we cannot predict weather patterns on any sort of short time frame. What we do know is that the earth goes through various stages of weather patterns, and we are not likely, based on climatic history, entering a natural climatic cycle.

it's all of the sudden, the end of our world coming up.... you can believe what you want, just as i will believe what i want... us humans, no matter how industrialized, and how many cars we have... are not going to harm the earth..........

We already have harmed the earth. Please, do a little reasearch on oceanography, or just coral bleaching for that matter.
