First time poster. Enjoy the banter here.

I have always been skeptical of global warming and with Gore using it to scare people into listning to him again I wish someone would come out and be politically incorrect and call it what it is. Above is a good study that dispells the apocolypitic assertions and explains global warming for what it really is. It is lengthy, but interesting for anyone who cares about the issue.

sam...

welcome to the forum....

what's enjoyable about the political forum is that there are hardly any personal attacks....

enjoy yourself & don't be shy....

i'm sorry...i have no opinion on global warming...always found this subject to be too boring....

Here is another article regarding how recent increase in hurricane activity is not due to global warming, as many politicans, like Kennedy has deduced from...i dont know...drinking lots of hurricanes (too easy)

I believe in away not a panic but it's coming. I would guess my grandchildren will deal with what ever affects it brings. There are some signs for sure with ice pack melt. And hole in ozone that NASA said is there. I guess depends if that gets smaller or larger how it affects things.

Memo to DJV: Ice melts when the earth's axis shifts as to expose it to more direct sunlight every year in an occurrence we call summer.

That was actually pretty funny. Much like the summer solistice, humor from Freeze comes once a year like clockwork.

Same here. I just can't get into it and with so much conflicting 'evidence', I guess I just don't care.

Just like religion, neither side can be proven right, so wtf.

This is the left's boogeyman, just as terrorism is the right's.

Every ligitimate scientist of climate change agrees that the globe experiences regular cycles AND that man's activities have also contributed to a rising overall temperature. The amount of each has not been determined. If our impact is signifant than the cycles will be exaggerated. If we get another record hurricane season, global warming will be big news.

agreed koasr. read this article that speaks to that point right before reading the thread.

smurphy-i think it should take 10 more record hurricane seasons to make global warming big news-but your right, one more katrina and they'll make hairspray a crime against humanity

hm-while the right abuses terrorism to help it out, deoderant has killed more people than global warming.

Not really interested in getting into Hurricane/Greenhouse gas correlations...but do you know who funds the "NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS?" (the source for both of your links) Are you really bringing this Exxon puppet to the table as legimate science? :mj07:

I will not waste my time with the flat earth society in this forum. If you have not accepted that global warming is happening (we can still debate causes I suppose) then your head is in the sand and you have truly ceased to engage in critical thinking. Thankfully, you are a dwindling minority. Global warming is not some global consipiracy to empower the UN and undermine America. Its just a scientific fact. But hey, that whole "Creationalism vs Evolution" jury is still out too.... :banghead:

 

[samayam]

if your not interested into getting into hurricane/greenhouse correlations, which was the topic of the article, then dont come to tell me "my head is in the sand" and that "i have ceased to engage in critical thinking"-instead engage me in that critical thinking with some counter points instead of name calling and generalizations.

 

[Jabberwocky]

actually, the topic of this thread is "Glorebal Warming"

but umm...if you want some counter points, then I will give you endless links from real, responsible, non-Exxon sponsored scientific institutions that affirm the reality of global warming. Going to sleep now, but I will post some tommorrow. How many articles you want...25, 50, 100? Its really not a debate among the scientific community at this point.

 

[djv]

Score at this time. It's happening 75000. It's not 15000. That would be folks that call them self scientist. No change in last 10 years???? on there findings. Or has anyone some thing new.

 

[redsfann]

Well said, Jabberwocky. The only 'scientists' these days that deny global warming are those that believe the earth to be flat, that the sun revolves around the earth and that the Nazis were liberals. If you want to debate HOW much of an effect we humans have had on global warming, then thats a legit arguement.
But to deny any global warming at all is just dumb

 

[samayam]

yeah redsfann. agreed. i dont think that there is anyone who wont acknowladge warming and cooling of the earth, the debate is how much humans have to do with it, and people who question that arent the same as the people who think the earth is flat.

the glaciers are melting, so are the poles, at a rather significant rate. Whether it's global warming or cyclical, does it really matter when the Eastern Seaboard is under water? Displacement is easy science, if it continues melting, we will lose land mass, that's indisputable. Call it whatever you want.
