I take it no one saw "An Inconvenient Truth" ?

Pollution until science proves otherwise i believe

Maritime record show a repeating cycle of heating and cooling, going back a couple of hundred years. Same ol', same ol'.

That's what I think. Maybe it will be much colder in 10 years, and people will talk about Global Cooling

In some ways global warming could be a good thing as it heats the planet up to keep us warm

They said "it's the hottest it's been in 400 years" ... which means that it was this hot 400 years ago. Before the industrial revolution.

Global warming is a lie.

Hopefully Nuclear winter will cancel it out.

ROFL.

mmm. This guy came into my engineering class and showed us some pretty nifty things:

1. Coal obliterates alternative energies.
2. It would take massive amounts of wind/solar/hyrdo etc to replace 1/10 of the carbon usage.
3. Human's have used 5 parts of 4000 in regards to carbon based energy in the earth = No energy crisis.
4. Carbon only blocks in a specific band of radiation, which he thinks is already saturated, so more will not block in more heat.

I watched An Inconvenient Truth, and then this guy came in, and what I took from the two together is:

It's definitely happening, we can't feasibly stop our carbon usage, it might not even make a difference, so basically no matter what the cause is, it is happening.

lol @ this thread and all of the ignorance it contains

How so? All I said was "GO!" lol.

and then I told a story about this guy that came to my school.

That's him. He has a pretty accurate understanding of the world energy situation. What an ignorant bastaard...
