| Snesboy said: Fact or Fiction: Both. The world is warming up. However, it may be because of industrializing nations in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America, not necessarily the lone fault of the United States or other world powers. Additionally, if it isn't because of that factor, then we can assume that the temperature of the sun is increasing. 1) People say that glaciers are melting. Is that fact? Maybe. My stance: 2) Riddle me this, if global warming is truly existent, then why was it snowing in Houston, Texas last week? If anything, the world is getting colder. |
1) Glaciers are melting. This is a fact. There is tons of documented evidence on it.
2) Simply because it snows in warm places has nothing to do with an overall trend. You are mistaking slight deviations in an overall trend from major deviations which would disprove an overall trend.
Its like saying if the Wii sells poorly for one week that the Wii is selling badly. Its simply untrue and ignores the surrounding evidence.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
