Thank you...

I think people take the 'global warning' part of things too seriously. We are polluting our earth and consuming our resources. That's going to have concequences. Bad, unforeseeable concequences.
I try and be green, but if someone convinces me tomorrow that global warming is a myth, that's not going to stop me from being green. It's going to hurt us one way or another.

I would agree that we need to be good stewards of our environment, but global warming is complete BS the scientist that spearheaded all of it was proven to be biased and unreliable by real scientists.

Back to being good stewards. I think that putting chemicals into the air that will cause respiratory problems and acid rain are a bad idea. We should avoid unnecessary pollution, like pouring raw waste into streams or spreading pesticides that are know to cause birth defects and other life threatening side effects.

Our climate is cyclical, there are warmer periods and cooler periods (ice age any one?) If I were to make a study and only show you 1% of what I found and said that the whole world had to change because of it I would be laughed at, at best. So why when some one says hey we have only really been polluting (at our current rate) for 70 years but have DESTROYED every eco system beyond repair when this world has (according to these same scientists) been around for BILLIONS of years, they are taken seriously and cost every one an incalculable amount of time energy and money.

P.S. Mod/Admin If this is going to be a global warming thread maybe it should be in QT?????

Those being the "real" scientists that Exxon Mobil has been paying for since 1998?

I have my own questions and doubts, but I think it's unreasonable to dismiss large amounts of supporting research out of hand as many people do.

The guys main source of information was a magazine and a high school kids senior paper. His work has been proven to be unreliable by real scientist, nothing to do with Exxon.

I am not saying that the world may not be getting warmer but it is not man caused.

This is sort of (by "sort of" I mean "exactly") what I'm talking about. You dismiss climate experts and solid research because of an individual?

If we used that logic I would be forced to conclude that the entire Republican party is interested in having homosexual encounters in airport restrooms, the PGA is comprised entirely of adulterers, and everyone who can make doilies is guilty of insider trading. Come on.
