Either that or we just joke about it and complain that the libs are claiming the sky is falling.

Pick yer poison.

The sky IS falling....run for your life man!!!!!

Maybe this whole discussion is like that of Supermans father...he tried to warn those governing Krypton that the end was near....no one listened.

Mankind will set the stage for the end....God will bring the final judgement, not global warming:)

Rude... are you really proposing that it is more likely that some chap with a white beard and riding a chariot (or whatever) is a more likely scenario for the earth's ending than an ecological catastrophe for humans?

If you believe in God (I don't), how do you think he will judge those who wasted the garden he put us in??

Or is this another It's God's will stunt so nobody is responsible?

I just believe that the Bible is the word of God....it tells me that God will bring judgement on his people one final time.

The same Bible tells specifically of increased severe weather disasters and earthquakes and defines these events as signs of the coming judgement.

It's really that simple....nothing personal towards anyone of different beliefs...it's just that my faith is really that simple. I don't fear globbal warming or any other event mankind seems so concerned with....but hey...that's just me:)

That's interesting, Rude.

So you think it's inevitable and that we can do nothing about it?

I don't know an awful lot about Christianity - this 'judgment' you speak of, who will be be judged, for what purpose and on what criteria?

Thats the problem with alot of christian thought. They never want to do anything to help mankind. They dont care about the enviroment or if a spieces will go extinct. Its all gods will in their eyes. Same kind of thought leads people to hijack planes and crash them into buildings because they also think that is gods will.

Same kind of thought brought down the roman empire. Once they converted to christiananity they stoped trying to be proactive with their economy and empire and just started praying.

How do you twist a thread from Global Warming to a Christianity Bash?  

You guys are frikken pros.

just read what rude typed out.

Actually, I've wondered if the reason that more isn't done about cutting pollution, conservation of resources, etc   is because people are expecting the Rapture(is that what it's called?)  to happen soon.   How is that really different than the guys who commited suicide in order to hop on the spaceship that was with the comet(Hale-Bopp  I think)

Doesn't God help those who help themselves?

My understanding about the Polar Icecaps is that if they melt, the sea level rises (but I'm not sure, as I heard this a long time ago without any authority).

Ravs

Put it this way. tiny island nations like Yap and Palau will go under if the global sea level rises 18 inches (read it in literature from Woods Hole, that other pinko commie liberal institute). The ice caps will add upwards of 40 feet to the current sea level worldwide. But, we're in a recession, and we're at war, so, the rest of the free world needs to understand that.

Start buying up that Himalayan real estate, fellas!

NM Tech researcher: Global warming may be less severe than predicted

(Albuquerque-AP) -- Work by a New Mexico researcher suggests global warming may be less severe than some predictions.

But it also undercuts an argument made by global warming skeptics that a lack of water vapor could cool the planet.

Ken Minschwaner—an atmospheric physicist at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology—and others used data from a NASA satellite to study how much water vapor there is in the upper atmosphere.

The results show that as things warm up at Earth’s surface, water vapor in the upper atmosphere rises. That challenges global warming skeptics’ argument that the upper atmosphere would get drier as Earth’s surface heats up.

But the amount of water vapor the team found falls short of the level typical of global climate computer simulations used to predict future warming trends.

One of the great benefits of a free press is that it affords everyone an opportunity to access the news about the events of our times, but one of its great drawbacks is that it permits groups with hidden agendas to mask their goals by manipulating public opinion and policy. With freedom comes the responsibility to be not merely informed, but to be able to discern truth from propaganda.

Even if global warming dose not scare people. You should at least support milage standards so that we dont burn the gas prices even higher. Sure alot of the high prices are due to opec, but noone is talking about the oil comapanys lieing about the size of their reserves for the past 5 years.

Of course ford just raised the white flag , and bought the rights to produce the toyota prius engine for their new hybrid cars.

[lazs2]

milage standards?  you mean mandatory bans on some automobiles right?

What's the point... when we run out of dino juice we will do something.  you just want to drag it out....  make the suffering last as long as possible and affect as many as possible... typical socialist kid.
