And protecting the environment seems to be much cheaper too.

10 dead from flooding in america northeast ... the wealthiest country in the world suffers fatalities ... now, imagine the lives of those people in asia and latin america where flooding has been happening more regularly ...

i know many of you think this is a bit shameless to try and push an agenda using deaths but this is what has been talked about for years ... its not about wait and see anymore - its about taking action ...

I love how people enjoy all of the benefits and conveniences provided to us by science, but the second that they don't want to believe something is the truth, scientists don't know what they are talking about.

The vast majority of climatologists, and meteorologists are in consensus that global warming is real, and that it is indeed occurring as a result of human activity. The fact that there are a few crackpot "scientists" that disagree with the rest of the scientific community does not mean that there are valid doubts about global warming.

The earth is at the warmest point it has been in over 2,000 years, and this just happens to coincide with humankinds exponential growth over the past 150 years? Come on people you can bury your heads in the sand all you want but at some point, hopefully sooner than later, the majority will wake up and do something about this problem. I just hope that they do before we have to face serious consequences!

Anyone who doesn't think we're negatively affecting the atmosphere is quite simply a uneducated delusional fucktard.

I dare say that these crackpot "scientists" that disagree with the rest of the scientific community are on Cheney's payroll. In fact, I'd bet my life on it. And yes, anyone that thinks global warming is a myth is quite dillusional, obviously ignorant, and most likely uneducated.

Well said. AND I don't know the stats but since global warming seems to be irrefutable in Europe, I'd imagine the scientists who ARE denying it are American... perhaps receiving government funding?

Ooops sorry, I see it's already said!

Besides, let's pretend for a second that it IS all bullshit... global warming is NOT happening. Ok? Now, what harm can it do to protect the environment anyway? It makes the world a much prettier place doesn't it? I think most people would agree that rivers, lakes and mountains are MUCH prettier than industrial estates? And I think the air is so much nicer to breathe when it doesn't make ya choke... and when it's not yellow. I prefer swimming in the sea when there isn't rubbish floating around in it and when there's no oil on the top of it. So if we can protect the environment and the planet by following something that's a lie... what's wrong with that? OR we can say 'it's a lie, I'm not going to recycle, I'm going to keep using up the few resources we have, I'll throw my rubbish wherever the fuck I want... etc.' I just don't really understand this whole debate to be honest

Crazy Mary,

Good for you. Nice to see someone doing what they can for the environment.


I've decided to park the 3 Hummers and just drive the M-1 Tank back and forth to work, the grocery store, the corner to get the mail. I'm also running my hot water continuously to create my own steam room. It's sweet, or sweat. I have all the blinds in my house wide open and the thermostat set to 62 and we all wear sweats around the house. Oh and all the lights are always on, regular light bulbs, none of those compact florescent things.

No, seriously. You and others gave some great ideas. I'm doing what I can to help conserve.

A lot of people refute the logic in this argument when it is applied to religion. Such as, what's the harm in being religious - if it's wrong, you've simply lived a better life. If it's right, you're in heaven.

I wouldn't refute that at all... I suppose it depends on what you think religion is though. Some people think it's blind - I see it as more spiritual and personal to the individual. But what faith I follow doesn't effect you - what fuel you decide or want to use sadly effects the entire planet

global warming better not be a myth given that I'm spending $80K to learn how to deal with it for my masters degree...

Oh such a fool! How stupid will you feel when your entire college is under water? And that 80k 'down the drain' so to speak?

80k though? :eek:

well tuition for 2 years is more like $50K, but then I have all the extra loans for living expenses. And this was the cheapest option of programs I got into...
