    That's great! We can all carry on polluting and destroying the environment then!
  • Even IF Global Warming isn't true (which i SERIOUSLY doubt) what harm could come with being less polluting?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I love that Inhofe is a member of this committee. Public enemy #1 for the environment in congress and he's on the committee. Thank God his days are numbered. What a tool.

    I am glad there is skepticism. That's what's great about scientific theory. There are always skeptics. And sometimes, theories are proven wrong. It doesn't make these scientists right though. Look, there is a direct coorelation with and increase of CO2 in the atmosphere and increased global temps. That is as simple as you can make it. There are a million varying factors that can impact the final outcome, but this is a statistic that you simply can't dispute.

    The title of your thread is misleading. These scientist disput the idea of man made global warming. They believe that there is a climate shift occuring but that it is a natural cycle not a result of man's activity.

    Honestly I think it's high time we stop arguing about what is causing the climate shift and focus more on how we will deal with the climate shift. There is very little chance that it can be reversed, if it is man made, and no chance if it is a natural cycle. We need to focus on we will adapt to say another ice age because from the looks of thing one may be coming and if we are ill prepared all of humanity will suffer because of our ignorance.

    Try not exhaling any CO2 for an hour. That would be less polluting. See if any harm comes of it.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Humanity may suffer....but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    400 scientists out of what? 4 million? so we have 400 idiots that can't see the ice melting. those 400 idiots can't read growth rings of corals. those 400 idiots have never been to a city and seen the brown clouds hanging over them. these 400 idiots paid to speak this before congress so the oil companies cannot be held responsable.
    let's see how many idiots believe them.

    you are so right. but we can prove man is the cause in several ways. first is ice core samples which are almost gone. the pollution in the atmosphere collects in the ice. another way is the process of elimination. we haven't had enough volcanic activity to cause it; we haven't had massive releases of frozen methane. every time this cycle occured; we've found a reason. volcanic activity is natural; but at least once it has caused global warming and an extinction followed. i don't however know how they can call this a natural cycle of earth. the causes in each case of global warming has been different.
    it's easy to prove the cause; but the cause doesn't matter anymore because it cannot be reversed. we are passed the point of no return and those not prepared will die. i predict 2/3 of the earths population. this includes the tens of thousands that have already died as a result of global warming.
    instead of looking for the cause; you should be looking at the outcome. what happened the 4 times the earth was faced with global warming? where were the sea levels? where were the coastlines? these are the questions to be asked now.

    it's increase performance and decrease gas milage.
    and i think everyone knows he was being sarcastic.

    I believe that it is a natural cycle of the earth, but that mankind has had a significant impact on this cycle in someway. I believe that we have either excellerated the process or intensified it. Either way we need to start focusing on how we can adapt to any changes that will occur because of it. It is not our generation that will suffer but those after us and the least we can do is to start figuring out way on how we, and future generations, will deal with the changes.

    wrong...take a car that has an OBD II computer...oh lets say all 1997 and later models....they have O2 sensor in front and behind catalytic converter...take that converter out and you'll kill your gas mileage and power. Yea if you have a 1976 Chevy you may be right...but after 97 or so...and you'll kill performance. Modern catalytic converters are very efficient...very little if any restriction on exhaust.

    This won't change my mind. I've always been an advocate of less polution.

    Also, forget about global warming for a minute, man has clearly made an impact on earth, we're fucking up our fresh water and our air, we're chopping down woods etc.
