Global warming, anyone?

[RARGUNS]

These are facts the even the environuts agree with.

Fact: The earth has be COOLING for 10 years (they say it's temporary)

Fact: The rain forest put off as much CO2 as it absorbs due to decomposition

Fact: Only thirty years ago the same environuts wanted to put black soot on the ice caps because they thought we were entering a mini ice age.

Fact: Leading global warming scientist altered data to push their cause so they can't be trusted at all.

Fact: Al Gore is a scumbag fear monger using global warming to make a buck.

Fact: They can't even say with certainty whether or not it will rain tomorrow so how the hell do they know what will happen in a 100 years from now?

I seem to recall 30-35 years ago, ( I know, before some of you were born.) These same little CO2 molecules were all going to gather in the atmosphere and, combine into a "sun screen" thus blocking the light and heat from reaching the surface. Thus causing "Global Cooling".

Now, I had a 7th grade science teacher that was a full blown hippie, and as sure as his morning dobie, He was positive that by 1980, There was going to be a layer of ice covering the earth.

As you can see, my confusion on whether to buy sun screen or long johns..

you clearly don't know anything about the process of global warming, let alone the scientific method. Allow me to make it about as easy as a coloring book to understand.

I'll give your post a 6/10 as an inflammatory bot response- I found it more amusing than inflammatory... not enough guilt for my lavish western lifestyle- but the personal attacks on intelligence and religion were a nice touch... without those, it would have scored a 4

Be prepared... have both!

I don't think that lebru is quite the elitist some of you think. There is merit to the idea of Global Warming, I mean Climate Change, or whatever. I think he's just way off on his claim of ocean levels rising. Otherwise, he seems very grounded when he says things like 'Global Warming is not the end of the world.'

If all the ice in the world melted, would it even raise the ocean levels 10'? We already know that any ice that is already in water is taking up more volume than it would if it were to melt. So the only ice melt that could contribute to ocean levels is ice that is 100% on land. With the Earth being 2/3 ocean and only 1/3 land, and MOST of that 1/3 land NOT AT ALL covered in ice; I find it very hard to worry about the ocean level if all the ice were to melt.

It'd still likely be catastrophic (and a shame) if all the ice were to melt, but the ocean level would be the least of our worries.

I know... where would I find twinkies?!

Sorry, I quit reading his posts after I got to the alarmist "10' this year" bovine scatology

I'm with funkfool, too- I think man has a history of being arrogant and exaggerating their influence... the world went through warming and cooling cycles long before the industrial age, so the environment is capable of "climate change" with or without our influence... but where's the profit in that?

On a new diet, Bear?

Now I have heard, That sea levels rise once every 24 hours (+or-)

Yeah but, would I need to put the sunscreen on the long johns?
