Full Version: Global Warming

Do you? Discuss.

I totally disagree with Global Warming. I think that Algore and all his paid off sciencetists are trying to scare the people of this country and the world.
Don't they know that the earth goes through periods of warmth and cold. The earth is ever changing. How can Algore predict what's going to happen in the future. Oh, our computer models show this will happen. Ha Ha. Our local weathermen can't even predict the weather and what it will do tomorrow. So how can he. A few years back these same people said we were heading for an ice age.
I also wish Algore would practice what he preaches, he has a home with 22 rooms, he flies in private jets(very bad for the environment), his gas bill last year was over $32,000 and his so called carbon credits he gets from his own company. What a hipicrit.

I recycle and do the best I can, but I don't want someone to tell me how to live my life when they can't even do what they tell us.

If you heard his press conference he gave, his plan was on how can we tax the americans and companies more.

I am with you dad2paisley
This does not mean we don't have a responsibility to take care of all we have been blessed with.

Do you really believe that Al Gore has paid off thousands of scientists around the world in support of his belief on global warming? blink.gif How about the way that Bush has muzzled his own scientists. NASA scientists are no longer allowed to speak with the media without having a press officer present. Hell, even your own Senator, John McCain introduced legislation to impose mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions only to have it killed by the Bush administration.

I don't believe it's probably as doom and gloom as some would have us believe, but I think it's a tragedy that the current administration is basically blowing it off as non-important.

I think its a part of nature. The earth is always going through changes. But I do believe we have to protect the earth as much as we can, plant more trees, recycle etc.

The earth heats and cools. Didn't he take earth science class in school?

Al Gore knows he invented the internet.

There's not much doubt that the Earth is in a heat cycle. The question is how much or how little we humans are contributing to it. I remember reading a study awhile back (and parked on page 4 of the newspapers) about Mars warming up also. Strangely enough, the heating there seems to parallel the Earth's heating over roughly the same number of decades. Seems like the Sun has heat cycles too and maybe this is the reason both planets are heating up at the same time? Or was this study done to discredit the Greens? rolleyes.gif

I hope you're not referring to the work of the russian, Abdussamatov. His theories aren't accepted by anybody of any repute. He totally discounts the wobbles in Mars orbit and he dismisses the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide. If we didn't have some greenhouse effect, there wouldn't be life on this planet either.

The sun itself is moving towards solar minimum so is not producing more radiation, rather it is producing less as evidenced by measurements by satellite. The dust storms on mars are currently at relatively low levels, unlike during the 70s when they were very strong and huge. Temps on Mars can vary widely year to year depending on the activity of large storms.

Other Planets Warming Too

The above link talks about the Russian scientist and about solar heat cycles. Most scientists don't think the current solar cycle has much to do with Earth warming but well, judge for yourself. wink.gif
