I came into this 3 hours late...read the whole thing...and dayum I am soooooo confused.....what happened to the laid back atmoshpere of Margaritaville? I'm sure I missed it in the reading but if Al Gore hadn't have invented the internet this entire debate would have never happened.

So in summation and to clarify things with a much more simpler and less long winded explanation....blah, blah, blah...global warming is bad.

I'm going to do my part to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, I'm going to stop farting

From what I have heard is that global warming doesn't necessarily mean that the temps are going to be warmer during the winter.. I heard that the temps during the winter will be colder than what is the normal and the storms would be worse in all seasons.

You haven't ever been around before the elections, have you?

Or asked about seal clubbing, how much coral reefers make, or why fingers left the band (he left?).

Please note that all of your arguments about polar bears etc address the issue of global warming ... not the cause of global warming. Logic is an underused quality in this political climate, I fear.

Can we please assign scientific theory here to what is a problem clearly for science, not politicians and the press, to study. Science is the ascertaining of facts, and assembling them into first a hypothesis, then a theory.

It is clear from factual evidence that global warming is happening, albeit slowly and to a much lesser scale to this point then has happened in past millennia. Global warming and cooling is a phenomenon that has been documented to have happened countless times over the lifespan of the planet.

It is also clear that there is NO factual evidence to point to human activity as the source of our current warming trend. While we may be producing "greenhouse gasses", which is a trendy term, there is no evidence whatsoever that our insignificant contribution those naturally occurring gasses is causative of global warming. It is purely supposition on the part of some politicians and scientists, and that hypothesis is at least questioned by a greater number of scientists than believe in it.

Scientists are not infallible and it is possible that the opinions of those that believe that global warming is caused by humans are politically motivated. It is also possible that those who deny the same are also motivated by politics. Most importantly, to the great many scientists who are not driven by politics there simply are no facts to support the proposition that we humans are driving global warming, merely supposition.

So by the scientific method, we can determine that the Earth may be beginning a warming cycle. We can determine nothing more than that.

Let’s continue to study, and perhaps someday Al Gore will be proven right. Most likely he will be proven wrong, in my opinion, because usually when we base our hypotheses on an ego driven inflated outlook on our place in the history of the Earth, we turn out to be wrong. Witness the "Coming Ice Age" theory of a few decades ago, not to mention the "Flat Earth" and "Earth as the Center of the Universe" theories of centuries ago.

Should we clean up our act and reduce pollution including greenhouse gas production? Yes, of course we should. The clean water act of 1972 has left us with cleaner, safer water to drink. It has not "saved the planet" because the planet was not in danger from our trivial meddling, even while our own health certainly was. In the same manner, reducing emissions of all sorts will make our air cleaner and healthier for us to breath. Mother Earth, however will not notice either way.

BRAVO!!!!!


Pretty much sums up my thoughts as well.

HELL YES, they are!
If the issue doesn't come up and fry them in the A$$, these people will not give it a second thought. Why would they want to inconvenience themselves?

Are all the scientists that are on board with this train of thought- them there "liberal tree huggin types"? Mr Gore musta paid them all off...

Its hilarious that this issue has become political......but not unbelievable..

Q&S's question could be a thread all on its own.

Unfortunately, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

Don't worry-I have no plans to park my Jeep Grand Cherokee (with a V-8 engine & two overhead 4-barrels and a HEATER) and drive my Cub Cadet anytime soon).

DAMN RIGHT!

It's even MORE hilarious that so many kooks believe this "crisis"- ) is man-made. But NOT unbelievable.
