A natural occurance contributed to by man, which is a natural occurance.
In other words: it's all good.

It's a climate shift, I don't see one degree in 150 years to be that much to worry about. And if you are really worried, put some ice in a glass and watch it melt, there will be no devestating flooding or tidal waves.

Don't worry about Global Warming. War will destroy humanity before it can have any adverse effects.

Minus hundreds of thousands of ecosystems, with trillions of life-forms depending on a delicate balance.

the globe has warmed and cooled many times throughout its history, yet this delicate balance still exists...it is getting close to time for another ice age...and warming trends happen before ice ages...it has been studied by taking core drillings of the polar ice caps...nothing to worry about as there is nothing that we can do. Are we helping it warm faster, I think not, we are such a pretentious race to think we could actually have that harsh of an effect on the earth. If need be, she will destroy us to maintain her life...
peace

A natural phenomenon which has most likely been pushed out of balance by human intervention. For most of our climate history, it has coincided with solar output. However, in recent years, the solar output has declined. Yet temperatures continue to rise. When we add greenhouse gases to the equation, then the continued rise makes sense. As for how catastrophic it will be, I think that's in our hands.

Are all you people in favor of putting caps on volcanoes worldwide?
I don't know this is a fact, but I would hazard to guess that CO2 and S emissions from vehicles and industry pales in comparison to that put out by the Earth's natural process'.

Well ya, that explains the CO2 that exists there without us, but it doesn't mean that our contribution of CO2 doesn't tip the scales out of balance.

I'm just saying that its my belief that the human effect is negligible.
I've changed my mind on this in the last several years. I used to think like you do, but it really doesn't make much sense.
What is the most prevalent greenhouse gas?
H20.
Good luck stopping evaporation from the oceans.

global warming = farce. just wait till the carbon tax comes in, feeding the north American union, making the poor poorer and the rich richer. not to say that pollution and the environment aren't big concerns, but really..yall are being bamboozled, hoodwinked. edit, by yall i don't mean the people in this thread, who aren't screaming and running around burning nonglobalwarming believers at the steak, i mean those who are doing that.

I guess I'm just inclined to go with the vast majority of scientists on this one. The way I see it, if 90 doctors tell me I'm sick and 10 tell me I'm not, I'm going to go with the majority.

Nobody is arguing that the Earth isn't warming.
It is, by a measurable amount. This is an absolute fact. But as a geologist, I can tell you that this has happened not once or twice, but thousands of times throughout history, long before there were people spewing hydrocarbon emissions into the atmosphere.
You can gripe and moan about it all you want, but in my opinion there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it.

Global warming is a religious movement that consists of millions of tree huggers all claiming to know how the world will end. Just like every other religious group, they are pushing their version of salvation onto the masses claiming "It's the only way."

Interesting but they didn't seem to have much solid evidence against what the guy was saying.
They knit-picked some minor points but all the major points still stand.

It is mid december and the other day it was 77 degrees, WTF?
I think global warming is happening. You can't deny that our quality of air will become exponentially worse if we keep using fossil fuels. It could get to the point where it could kill us. Already people who don't smoke are getting lung cancer and diseases. Some people will argue that sense man was made by nature, all his creation is natural. I think there is truth in this, however it is not wise. We need to find the balance again. People forget we are part of the earth and it is part of us. We depend on nature to further the human race. Another reason why I don't like christianity. all throughout the bible it asserts that man dominates over nature.
