    Global warming?? where's Al Gore??

    It's SNOWING in New Orleans again! TOO COLD.

    We're not used to this weather! My house is like a cheesebox and the floor is freezing cold.

    At least it's killing all the vegetation.

                  Wh don't you educate yourself on the effects of global warming. You'll find things like this are actually one of those results.

                          It's just a thread, to whine and complain in. I don't have time for that but thanks for the suggestion.

                          I know Choker made a similar thread a while back, people were arguing all day about global warming. Go for it!

                                      Listen.

                                      Al Gore is a Democrat.

                                      Democrats only have your best interests in mind.

                                          It's been much colder, so much so most of our homes would be under a mile thick layer of ice. It's been much hotter before too, so much so most of us wouldn't have drinking water if it happened today.

                                          Welcome to earth.. where things change with or without humans.

                                              ..... February 15, 1895 - New Orleans Snowfall 9 inches. It snowed like this from Galveston Texas across the gulf States.

                                              While it's rare, it's not uncommon - it has happened in your life several times before.

                                                  Exactly, as if a few thousands years of recorded history, and even less of recorded weather history was even a blip on the timeline for how long this planet has been around...

                                                  Essentially global warming is akin to a faith based religion... it's non-falsifiable.

                                                  I'm not saying we shouldn't be working towards a "greener" planet as it seems to be a no brainer to NOT pollute the Earth. We're getting there though! So many amazing electric cars with crazy ass batteries coming out of the next several years. It's pretty exciting really

                                                                          While it's rare, it's not uncommon - it has happened in your life several times before.

                                                                                                      For example, we don't need to rely on recorded history to know that the earth went through a number of ice ages.

                                                                                                      Nobody seriously thinks that the earth was never covered in ice, just because we have "no recorded history" of it.

                                                                                                      We also have no recorded history of the tectonic shift, or photographs of the dinosaurs, nor did I ever see in person the dead body of Elvis. Indirect evidence, in such cases, is just as good for anybody not wearing a tinfoil hat.

                                                                                                      Climate scientists make PLENTY of predictions that are very easy to check.
                                                                                                      They do it all the time, it's pretty much their job (albeit certainly not on a month-by-month or zipcode-by-zipcode basis).

                                                                                                      Make a small model of the earth and put it under the sun. It gets considerably hotter if you fill the atmosphere of your small model with co2.

                                                                                                      That's essentially what climatologists do, and extrapolate the data to see how much co2 will make the global temperature hotter, and when. A very falsifiable prediction, indeed.

                                                                                                      Sadly, the model and predictions have not been falsified yet: quite the contrary. So I would prefer not to bet my ass and my kids ass that they are wrong, but that's indeed what we are doing.

It's funny how when the world gets smaller, larger divides open up. Well, not funny really. Just strange.

They dont trap any gas, they dont warm up inside. It's identical inside one as it is outside one. Amazing.

I think they honestly have no idea what's going on. We are seeing extreme weather - hotter summers, and snow in odd places. Huge storms. It's just a huge cycle of mother nature - one we've never seen before.
                                                                                                                                  what's extreme about it? because the media says so? extreme compared to what? the last 10 years out of 13 billion?

                                                                                                                                  there is nothing extreme going on with the weather. people fail to realize the incredible range of weather this planet has and will always experience, and that range is completely normal because it always has and always will happen on this planet.

                                                                                                                                          Religion makes no falsifiable predictions (except when it says that the world will end in 2012, of course.)

                                                                                                                                          Climate scientists make PLENTY of predictions that are very easy to check.
                                                                                                                                          They do it all the time, it's pretty much their job (albeit certainly not on a month-by-month or zipcode-by-zipcode basis).

                                                                                                                                          Make a small model of the earth and put it under the sun. It gets considerably hotter if you fill the atmosphere of your small model with co2.

                                                                                                                                          That's essentially what climatologists do, and extrapolate the data to see how much co2 will make the global temperature hotter, and when. A very falsifiable prediction, indeed.

                                                                                                                                          Sadly, the model and predictions have not been falsified yet: quite the contrary. So I would prefer not to bet my ass and my kids ass that they are wrong, but that's indeed what we are doing.
                                                                                                                                          I should have clarified, sorry 'bout that. I'm not talking about the direct cause/effect... which is still up for debate even. What I'm referring to is the idea that this is bad... I mean, after all, mother nature contributes VAST amounts of CO2 into their air... something like 10% - 20% of what all humans contribute but still, no small amount...

                                                                                                                                          Additionally, there have been a few papers publisher in the past year or so that show how the ice caps are melting faster from undersea volcanic activity... It seems to me that the Earth is cyclic in nature we are just speeding up that process.

                                                                                                                                          The thing is, no amount of cap and trade bills, additional taxes on oil companies, etc... is going to change a fucking thing. What the world needs is a commercially viable alternative to burning oil and those extra taxes levied on oil companies reduce the amount of R&D capital they have to spend. Oil companies, after all, spend more money developing alternative fuel sources than any other market segment. They know their days are numbered and the first one to a product, wins.

                                                                                                                                          My problem with Global Warming is that it's still under debate yet it's being used as a key decision maker to ramrod through additional regulation and taxation across the board...

                                                                                                                                          The ONLY real solution is to create commercially viable alternative fuel sources; and by commercially viable, I mean, affordable. We also need to move to more nuclear power plants and away from the old school coal burning pieces of crap :P THEN we will see mass amounts of reduced greenhouse gases. It's coming, the people want it, the planet wants it, there IS a need and that need will be filled and when it is; may the best product win.

The pentagon issued report on it during the bush yrs. The debate is science vs companies that have a vested interest in keeping things the way they are. Al gore doesnt benefit from this but if the noise machine creates doubt then the oil and coal benefit.

The pentagon issued report on it during the bush yrs. The debate is science vs companies that have a vested interest in keeping things the way they are. Al gore doesnt benefit from this but if the noise machine creates doubt then the oil and coal benefit.
                                                                                                                                                                                  No, the debate is between science and governments along with their NGO environmentalist groups who have a vested interest in increased regulation, increased taxation and new revenue streams beneficial to themselves.

                                                                                                                                                                                  And Al Gore has profited to the tune of millions and millions of dollars pushing this global warming hysteria.

                                                                                                                                                                                      For example, we don't need to rely on recorded history to know that the earth went through a number of ice ages.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Nobody seriously thinks that the earth was never covered in ice, just because we have "no recorded history" of it.

                                                                                                                                                                                      We also have no recorded history of the tectonic shift, or photographs of the dinosaurs, nor did I ever see in person the dead body of Elvis. Indirect evidence, in such cases, is just as good for anybody not wearing a tinfoil hat.

                                                                                                                                                                                      They do it all the time, it's pretty much their job (albeit certainly not on a month-by-month or zipcode-by-zipcode basis).

                                                                                                                                                                                      Make a small model of the earth and put it under the sun. It gets considerably hotter if you fill the atmosphere of your small model with co2.

                                                                                                                                                                                      That's essentially what climatologists do, and extrapolate the data to see how much co2 will make the global temperature hotter, and when. A very falsifiable prediction, indeed.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Sadly, the model and predictions have not been falsified yet: quite the contrary. So I would prefer not to bet my ass and my kids ass that they are wrong, but that's indeed what we are doing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      If by that you want to mean a science that employs "statistical models", then yes: I quite believe that statistical models are useful indeed - without them you would not have the computer on which you are typing your message, nor your air conditioning.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      You would probably not even want to take a life-saving drung, because clinical trials are also based on statistical models ("best guesses" as you call them, and it's a decent wording and not an insult at all for any science. Best guesses in science are what make you now live 80 years instead of 35 just a little time ago).
