unless you live on that island whats the big deal ?

According to this turd you Mark are not qualified to make the decision whether global warming is real or not and by his own definition neither is he. Where do you find this stupid BS?

In San Marcos we paid to go down a river and one way transportation. I have no idea of the name. While in Austin we would go to Hippie Hollow, nude lake area. It use to be free

I didn't do well financially there, strange market. However a friends store in Austin, same franchise, was one of the busiest in the nation.

Heh, yea I went to hippie hollow once in a boat when I was like 15. The people we were visiting had a boat, so the dad took me and his son out on it but didn't mention anything about a nude beach.. We were just trolling along and titties!

On side note, after driving around a bit today and exploring, I found a few access points on the river that I can get my kayak in, so maybe the next few days I can have some fun.

:1orglaugh
Christ, the stupid truly have been gulled by the politicians.
In my own community, it was both much colder AND much hotter 40 years ago. There is NO evidence of any sort of warming, that's why the people manipulating your small brain are now calling it climate change.

the writers of the story bought them :helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Did Al Gore buy that island with all of his carbon credit profits and why there is such a concern?

Of course I am not qualified to say for a fact that Global Warming is real. I'm not a scientist. However, scientists, Climatologists, Nasa, NOAA, all say Global warming is a fact, since I know for a fact they are all much smarter than me, I am inclined to take their word for it.

Your "own community" is "weather". "Weather" is local, while "Climate" is global. Or put another way, the "mean temperature" or "average". What you, I and everyone else sees with our own eyes and weather forecasts are local, small pieces. The average temperature, the mean temperature of the entire earth, is rising.

No but he did his best to warn everyone. Too bad not enough people listened to him. Too bad Dubya's pals had to steal the election from him.

I know, douche bag. I was replying in kind to one of your idiot brethren.

I'm sure you won't read the facts in the article but thats the difference between someone who knows and someone who believes. :thumbsup

not to mention 1.5m above sea level for an island in the pacific is one storm away from being washed away regardless. Such a non issue its not even funny.


I wonder if crocket's van floats...

Too bad for the people that he scammed almost a BILLION dollars off of, with G.I.M. and his Chicago Carbon Credit exchange scam, and living with one of the largest "carbon footprints" on the planet.... all while lecturing the rest of us peasants about how WE all have to change....

.

Yet people have lived on them for thousands of years - Go figure...

so it's okay for gays to wish 100's of thousands of people dead but if some one disagrees with homosexuality they should be fired from the job... I get that right?

Maybe you think Venice is a brand new town? It's been sinking into soft ground for centuries and the efforts to stop it have been going on forever. My point was that it's basically at sea level. Every time I've been to San Marcos square, the water was flush with the square. It has nothing to do with global warming.

If any fucking retard thinks a small coral reef that briefly broke the surface is going to disappear on months due to global warming.... then they need their heads examined as there are 1000 more places at risk worth talking about facing the same "threat"

Well this is the Internet so no surprise people with zero education in any of the pertinent earth sciences have such strong opinions. :1orglaugh

I don't know shit about climate change and its' causes BUT I do have a lot of respect for science and those who dedicate their lives to it. The VAST majority of the world's foremost scientists are of the opinion based on scientific data that global warming is real and it's largely a man made phenomena. Scientists have big egos, they love to try to prove the other nerds wrong. That there is almost unanimity on the issue amongst them leads me to believe they are right. And no I don't believe the 'lefties' have or even could buy off that many institutions and scientists.

Just because the planet has gone through climate change before naturally doesn't make man made global warming 'ok', that's like telling your kids to hit the tanning salon every day risking getting cancer at 40 because cancer is a natural disease process that will get you at 80 anyway.

I think nuclear war and solar flares and/or EMP taking down the power grid are bigger worries than climate change in ours, our children and grandchildrens' lifetimes.

I hope you are kidding - I know I was...

global warming = climate change = adapt or die

In fact I hope Humans can't adapt and we all die.

oh look, a scientific report from a group of scientists who DON'T make a living from global warming, errr, climate change:
http://heartland.org/media-library/p...licymakers.pdf

that should read "The VAST majority of the world's scientists who make their living off of the climate change hysteria are of the opinion based on manipulated scientific data that global warming is real and it's largely a man made phenomena."

The Heartland Institute
Background

The Heartland Institute is a Chicago-based free market think tank and 501(c)(3) charity that has been at the forefront of denying the scientific evidence for man-made climate change. The Heartland Institute has received at least $676,500 from ExxonMobil since 1998 but no longer discloses its funding sources.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

There are many very dedicated scientists that disagree that global warming is largely a man-made phenomena. There are also many that disagree that the warming will be catastrophic. If you respect science then you should respect them as well. The debate really isn't "settled" as you so often hear in the media and from politicians. The whole "vast majority" thing is just a myth. Society is falling into a very dangerous cycle of group-think and the inevitable end result of that will by tyranny and hard times.

Keep in mind that all of the warm-mongering is based on computer models that have been proven faulty and have even failed to correctly predict the climate of the better part of the last two decades.

You even have scientists publishing papers explaining why it is ok to exaggerate claims and manipulate information to achieve their goals:

The amount of electricity consumed in his personal home was hilariously absurd. What a 2-faced douch-bag he is.


.

There have been so many incidents of global warming employees fudging the data, that it's just getting ridiculous at this point, so they may as well just say what this article says.... basically that, YES, they fudge the data, but it's for a good cause.


:Oh crap

shocker! a group sucking at the teat of "climate change" hysteria denouncing a group that's debunked their gravy train.:1orglaugh

but you go on believing Al Gore and his ilk. it makes you look intelligent amongst your friends. but not anyone of intelligence.:thumbsup

Five Years Ago Al Gore Predicted There Would Be No Ice At The North Pole
"""How long are we going to get believing the predictions of people who are proven to be wrong, over and over again?

This would be funny, except that predictions of doom and gloom from the ?settled science? community are the basis for reams of expensive and burdensome laws and regulations intended to address climate change."""

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sh...-refugees-2010

"""To give you an idea of the kind of hysterical predictions the global warming crowd have made in recent years, the United Nations in 2005 actually forecast that by the end of the previous decade, there would be 50 million environmental refugees around the world as a result of climate change."""

"""It appears runaway warming predictions may have been fantasy"""
"""Doomsday Scenarios Flop"""


but our least intelligent will continue to believe the hype that has no basis in fact but has made liberals and scientists rich.:1orglaugh

well said.

for a group of people so adamantly against global warming

there sure seems to be a lot of time spent denying it

there's a difference between denying something thats happening and pointing out something that isn't happening. I suggest you learn the difference, snapper head. :winkwink:

see you in the next global warming thread

you gotta laugh at people who imagine that EVERY weather event we've experienced in the last 40 years hasn't happened before then. The belief in this hysteria is just stunning.

no, lets just revisit this one in december and see if the island, like the polar cap is still there. At some point, at least ONE of your side's predictions needs to come true for you to continue your BELIEF in global warming, doesn't it?

they might be in real trouble for sure if that's true!

my side? your 'side' seems to believe that human industries has no impact on the enviroment

do you believe this is true?

All I can say is that Al Gore bought beach front property a couple years ago.

Yeah he believes!

97% of scientists believe in man made global warming. 'Tyranny' is a word used by kooks. There are hysterics and demagogues on the extreme ends of both the political left and right.

I read the Heartland Institute's paper and then the criticism of it, perhaps there are some valid points to it but it appears they have a strong bias themselves and their credentials overall are lesser.

In the end what's the downside if we cut carbon emissions - who here owns an oil company?

Here's about the guy that started a lot of it, he now says he was wrong about global warming
http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/e...entists-defect

odd, there hasn't been any dispute on the Mars warming cycle

There are plenty of problems with money being taken out of economies by force and then used to prop up political friends of governments for things that don't benefit people. There are plenty of problems with the foundation of a world government designed to redistribute wealth and control every aspect of our lives. There are plenty of problems with creating a situation that adds huge burdens to all ready struggling economies. All of these results are originating from the ACC movement.

Here is some interesting reading...

I will read any opinion, the whole issue doesn't mean much to me since I don't think a couple of degrees of warming is going to be catastrophic, I don't live on an atoll two feet above sea level.
