sheep, think about who benefits from you believing global warming is a lie,use your thinking caps. There is a lot more money to be made in you believing its not real and you keep doing as you have been doing then if you believed its real.

FACT: You can be "agnostic" towards Global Warming and still be environmentally conscious - they are not mutually exclusive. People don't need a political or 'scientific' motivation to be kind to mother nature.
Face reality - Global Warming has been hijacked by environmental zealots who are more motivated by their own narcissistic desire for recognition or political gain than by the health of the planet. Bbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - follow the herd! Buy a Prius! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hybrid vehicles (scam), environmentally friendly food, consumer goods, etc. Companies charge a premium for this 'perceived' value - global wamring is driving inflation through higher consumer prices by charging a 'green tax' that goes right to the corporate bottom line. Use YOUR thinking cap, and you can really see what's happening.... Who's the sheep???

People believing in Al Gore is the problem? He's just a messenger, fuck him. Who cares about him? Yes he didn't get awarded the election over bush, but more people voted for him. Who cares, it's all old news now.
If "global warming" turns out to be a global scam, dont you think it'll come out in the end? The pace things move, there'll be at least one whole new generation of scientists coming up doing their own research before anything is actually decided. Anyway, no need to get all bunched up about global warming. Look in your own house and car and do whatever you think you should and let your neighbor do the same. I see nothing wrong with a whole new industry of "green" buildings and crap at all. It's mostly capitalist societies anyway that'll grow from it.

I agree we are helping to speed up global warming. Ill give you an analogy for it. It would be about the same as a 3 year old helping a train to leave the station by pushing on the back of the train. So yes I guess we are "helping" to speed it up. |

BREAKING NEWS
In case you missed it, the climate on other planets in our solar system has also been changed http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...s-warming.html This means Aliens on Mars do exist! They also have global warming! |

But to use a single article about one lone scientist's hypothesis versus the thousands of peer reviewed articles out there that support the idea humans are contributing to global warming is a bit unenlightened, imho. Since we're talking about the other planets now, I should mention that no one's yet to address the point about Venus that I brought to light earlier. Here we have a planet that's several times hotter than it should be based on its relative distance from the sun. It's much hotter than Mercury, even though it's much further away. Why? Because of a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect." So much CO2 is present in the atmosphere of Venus that the Sun's energies are trapped in the atmosphere of the planet, bouncing back and forth between the top of the atmosphere and the planet's surface... heating the planet up like an oven. CO2 is the reason. CO2. Let's say for a moment that the fact that the Sun is getting hotter every year is a given. That it's contributing to our own global warming. Isn't it still possible that our CO2 emissions into the atmosphere - our artificially dumping billions and billions of metric tons of CO2 into our atmosphere every year - may be speeding up the process even more? And even if that's only a possibility - considering that global warming is having an obvious and, in many ways, detrimental impact on our environment, isn't it our place to try and do something about it? As a child, I learned that if you make a mess, it's your responsibility to clean it up.

Please refer to my earlier post where I state "You don't have to be a global warming zealot to be environmentally conscious". I am not brainwashed by global warming propaganda but I am an environmentally conscious person regardless.

Look at the moon. When the sun shine on it, its much hotter than the side where there are no sun. The temperature change is from 100degrees+ at the day, to 150degrees- at night. That is due to the atmosphere, nothing else Again, the topic is weather or not Global warming is a result of increased CO2 emissions. And again you fail to provide evidence. And you throw in half lies to support your case, which is not helping at all. http://www.suntimes.com/news/othervi...REF30b.article Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims. For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame." Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."

LOL no is there is an agreement that says, they have to give away any other movies? Both of these movies were produced by private groups. So unless those private groups choose to release it via PBS.. Then there is no one that has to broadcast it.

Venus is warmer than Mercury (which is a lot closer to the sun) because it has CO2 in its atmosphere, retaining the heat. We're artificially injected billions of metric tons of CO2 into our own atmosphere every year. 1 + 1 = 2. Where are my half lies? I'm not aware of any that I stated... nor would I knowlingly do so... so please point them out.

The public service channels here are payed for by our tax, and they buy the movies from the producers. That is the whole idea behind public service, to educate and inform the people of a country.

Because you said "Because of a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect." There are no "Runaway Greenhouse Effect." there or here for that matter. In a book I read about AI, one of the outhers said(found it again on google): The planet is purposive. It behaves the way it does in order to maintain homeostasis. It changes in ways that result in the maintenance of homeostasis. It changes such that it reflects more or less light depending on its current temperature. Homeostasis requires a self regulating mechanism. The sun grows hotter, and the planet regulates its own temperature by reflecting more of the sun's heat. To reflect this heat it has to change its reflectance characteristics. Again we might ask, how it is to know how to do this? Auxiliary question - what bit of it knows? What bit of you knows? If the regulatory mechanism already exists then this simply switches into action but what if it does not - how might the planet adapt to things of which it has no knowledge - say different types of radiation?

Ask any astronomer or planetary scientist what's going on in the atmosphere of Venus, and I'll bet you any amount of money the phrase "Runaway Greenhouse Effect" is used verbatim. It's why the planet has no liquid water on the surface. It's why the temperature is over 750 degrees F. Iron melts on the surface of Venus. Ask them what compound is responsible for this effect. And they'll say CO2. Google "Venus"... Google "Runaway Greenhouse Effect".... or better yet, go to a library... and read. I'm not sure what the rest of your post was supposed to mean - seems you're just talking about the laws relating to homeostasis... which I fully agree with, and, imho, does more to support the idea that we're affecting our environment than the idea that we're not.

Its still not a Runaway Greenhouse Effect here on earth. What goes on Venus have nothing to do with Greenhouse Effect, its the fact that the planet have a higher concentration of CO2. The fundamental structure of earth is different and can not under any circumstances be compared The only "runaway" thing going on here is the fearmongering

And it can be easily translated to mean that if we push, the planet pushes back. "For every action, there is an oposite and equal reaction," and all that jazz. Look, I'm all for debating this topic, but you gotta be willing to listen as much as speak... and, honestly, you're not making a lot of sense in your last few posts. I never said the Earth has a Runaway Greenhouse effect. I said Venus does. And Venus's state of climatic homeostasis certainly has a lot to do with a "greenhouse effect," as the entire planet is experiencing a "Runaway Greenhouse effect" caused by it's high CO2 levels. Most scientists would agree that Venus is very similar to what the Earth may have appeared like millions of years ago... there are many several similarities between the two planets - and what better model do we have in understanding how different quantities of different elements in an atmosphere may have on us than by looking at another planet in our on Solar System - as things are made of up many of the same elements that we have here on Earth? You used Mars, yourself, as a model of what's going on here. "cannot under any circumstances be compared" you say? I'm thinking you're starting to get outside the bounds of what you may actually be familiar with, but have decided that not knowing shouldn't stop you from continuing to talk. Planetary science is a hobby-subject of mine. And you're not making very much sense at this stage of our argument, and I'm beginning to realize I have better ways to spend my time.

- I never used Mars as a model.
- homeostasis dont mean state of balance. Homeostasis is the ability to MAINTAIN a state of balance. There is a huge difference - There are no Runaway Greenhouse effect on Venus. Venus have a high concentration of CO2 - period. It have nothing to do with Runaway Greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect is the ability of the atmosphere to capture and recycle energy emitted by the surface. - You ask me to read, Im doing nothing but quoting books on the matter, so I dont get why you thing i dont read books. I made it quite clear from the beginning. - Im out of time as well, But I do listen - just not agree all the time, mainly because you dont provide any facts to support your oppinion.

I only read the first 3 sections but I counted at least 6 parts that were factual wrong, so I stopped reading. Most of what is there is the exact words of what Al Gore are saying over and over again. Its guesswork and have been proven to be wrong many times before.
My opinion is based on FACTS - FACTS!

To clear these matters up:
You're right. I confused you with another posting in support of your argument. I apologize. Quote:
You're mistaken on this point. Ask any Astronomer. Ask any Planetary Scientist. Take any elementary Astronomy class. Simply Google the words "Venus Runaway" and bask in the 500+ results that come up with the word "greenhouse" after the words in bold, and you'll understand that you are mistaken. Quote:
From the American Heritage Dictionary: "greenhouse effect: 1. The phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface. 2. A similar retention of solar radiation, as by another planet or in a solar panel." Quote:
I do think that anyone saying that there's absolutely no way humans are contributing to global warming has either not bothered to read enough on the subject, or is letting someone with an agenda outside the raw science do their thinking for them... I don't see how a reasonable mind could deny that possibility. Just as I don't see how a reasonable mind could assume that it's the only possibility. I feel I've provided quite a few facts. The idea that you're not acknowledging that I have leads me to believe you're not listening.

A new scientific study concludes that changes in the Sun's output cannot be causing modern-day climate change.
It shows that for the last 20 years, the Sun's output has declined, yet temperatures on Earth have risen. It also shows that modern temperatures are not determined by the Sun's effect on cosmic rays, as has been claimed. Writing in the Royal Society's journal Proceedings A, the researchers say cosmic rays may have affected climate in the past, but not the present. "This should settle the debate," said Mike Lockwood, from the UK's Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, who carried out the new analysis together with Claus Froehlich from the World Radiation Center in Switzerland. Dr Lockwood initiated the study partially in response to the TV documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, broadcast on Britain's Channel Four earlier this year, which featured the cosmic ray hypothesis. "All the graphs they showed stopped in about 1980, and I knew why, because things diverged after that," he told the BBC News website. "You can't just ignore bits of data that you don't like," he said. Warming trend The scientists' main approach on this new analysis was simple: to look at solar output and cosmic ray intensity over the last 30-40 years, and compare those trends with the graph for global average surface temperature, which has risen by about 0.4C over the period. Temperatures have continued rising irrespective of cosmic ray flux The Sun varies on a cycle of about 11 years between periods of high and low activity. But that cycle comes on top of longer-term trends; and most of the 20th Century saw a slight but steady increase in solar output. However, in about 1985, that trend appears to have reversed, with solar output declining. Yet this period has seen temperatures rise as fast as - if not faster than - any time during the previous 100 years. "This paper reinforces the fact that the warming in the last 20 to 40 years can't have been caused by solar activity," said Dr Piers Forster from Leeds University, a leading contributor to this year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment of climate science. Cosmic relief The IPCC's February summary report concluded that greenhouse gases were about 13 times more responsible than solar changes for rising global temperatures. |

![]() Seriously - agree. The "profit center" is currently being hijacked by governments and politicised, corps are spinning whatever lies they need to spin in introducing more product while painting pictures of themselves as "friendly green". Very little of the pictures have any truth. |

"fuck stain"? You expect someone ... ANYONE ... to take you seriously with frothing-at-the-mouth remarks like that? That's what instantly causes me (and anyone rational or just plain DECENT) to tune someone out completely.
