The thing that gets me the most about global warming is the ENTIRE attitude that we can change anything in this world. We are a speck compared to the grand scheme of nature. The world has ways of dealing with problems like heat and cold. The entire system was setup so that we cannot stop it from happening. The arrogance of people to think that changing a lightbulb will mean one iota of difference to the "health" of the planet! The absolute pompous egos they must have. I cannot change when summer gets here, nor how hot it will be. No one can. Everything they see as a "problem" is either a coincidence of timing, or a non-problem.

Who is to say what the ideal temperature is? O, that is right, the scientists... those same people who thought that global cooling was happening in the 70s. Did you know that there were civilizations (likely colonies) of Vikings on Greenland? They grew crops there. Now, how warm would it have to be to grow crops on Greenland? A LOT WARMER THAN IT IS TODAY! They didn't even have combustion back then... and to think we are causing global warming...

Did you know that the Sun has cycles? It releases more heat at times through sunspots and solar flares. Other times it is relatively quiet in those regards. Now who is to say that the sun is not responsible for this rise of temperatures? Lets see... about 30 years ago the scare was Global Cooling... The sun has a cycle of roughly 22 years. You do the math.

Arrogance and political invasiveness really get to me, and this hoax is the Grandfather of them all.

so every scientist who has ever said global warming is a fact is wrong, thats alot of scientists you know, i agree that in the past scientists were wrong about a global cooling, but science evolves just as people do, and i think that the scientists of today are alot better than thoose around 20-30 years ago.


So you think that the same people and community that was wrong then CANNOT POSSIBLY be wrong today? PHUEY!! Open your eyes and question what you think you know. You will learn many things this way.


I just dont think there wrong this time, the evidence is overwhleming, the chances of them being wrong are very small, also given that fuel shortage is a FACT, do you not agree with me that alternate fuel sources are needed.


No actually. I don't agree with you that alternative fuel sources are needed. They will be nice for taking the pressure off of oil, eventually. Right now there is still PLENTY of oil in the ground. It would take the world well over 30 years to use it up even at the current expanding rate oil is being used. Did you know that there was recently a BIG find of oil in the Dakotas? And did you know that the US has abundant supplies of Shale, from which oil can be extracted? Did you also know that the same environmental extremists that cry out loudest about Global Warming also cry out loudest again drilling for oil in America? What about ANWR? What about drilling off the coasts of Florida and California? Australia drills off its coasts extensively, but their beaches are still great. There is plenty of oil out there to be found and recovered, but simply put the environmentalists won't stand for it.

EDIT: I do think that alternative fuels will replace oil, eventually. But it will be YEARS down the line. They simply are not ready for large scale usage. They are too expensive and too hard to produce eficiently. Research them all you want, but Oil is and will be the fuel that runs the world for the forseeable future.
