Tree Hugger Test

So, you think you know everything about Global Warming from the media and Al-blowahard-Gore?  Take The GLOBAL WARMING TEST  and prove yourself... to yourself.

We're doomed!  The sky is falling!

See you in a generic thread coming to your area soon.

Shockingly, they even listed references with their answers. This kind of thing must be stopped! Before you know all kinds of people will no longer believe in human caused global warming. How we will scare them now?

I think we're beyond generic threads,  global warming/climate change/end of the world,  needs its own Forum

oddly...  I got 100%.

I thank this BB because, as usual..  It made me do the work.   This BB is my source of news... not the posts necessarily but...  the links.  

I follow the links and then I am forced to do my own research.   You can't get that by listening to talking heads on either side of the issues.   You have to do the research and...

At no other time has it been so easy.   The internet is a vast stroehouse of papers and thought... some crap some pure gold...

Here you can real peer reviewed scientific papers not available at a normal library and certainly not on the talking head bs news stations...

And all from the comfort of your home while drinking coffee before starting your day.

And still.... so many just go for the talking head soundbites.   I rarely watch news at anymore.. only during major elections or disasters or wars...

Even then... I am shocked at the stuff that comes out of their mouths... that they have the nuts to say it.. glib soundbites while offering not a shred of proof for anything they throw out..

That test had a definite bias to it.  A bias that CO2 does not effect global warming at all.

[lazs2]

everything affects everything... the test just showed how little co2 plays out in the scheme of greenhouse gas and...  global climate.

ok 95%.   Definitely a lot of stuff there to read later this weekend.

I didn't feel like creating a new post, so...


I just might never stop laughing if New Orleans gets blown off the map, again.  Dean is drifting nervously close to NO.

Thanks Lazs   ...for pointing out the obvious, to the clueless

You can tell by their replies just who is the sheep being led by the media and who is willing to find out the 'real story'

Not that Al Gore is a great guy, or that environmental nazis aren't wackos, but this little 'test' basically infers the conclusion that we can keep dumping whatever we want into the atmosphere.

"source" info wasn't included accept in a couple places that I saw.  Not sure how this is helping the debate.

[lazs2]

68... where have I or anyone else ever said that we can "keep dumping" anything we want into the atmosphere?

The point is that co2 is not pollution.  it can not cause global warming or even be a tiny player.. to reduce our tiny little contribution to it's (co2) miniscule little contribution by 30% is nothing... 30% of nothing is nothing...

worse... co2 is benificial...  we have a 15% better production of food because of co2 increase.

pollution is bad... some pollution is minor and some is very bad...  Co2 is not only not pollution but it is a needed, tiny little part of our atmosphere.

There is plenty of man made and natural pollution to worry about... co2 is not one of em.

Pretty much supports the info in the "Its the SUN Stupid" post.

I took the test and got 100% correct.  Nowhere did the test infer we could keep dumping pollutants into the atmosphere and get away with it.  Rather, it seems the answers/explanations were based on sound science.  Imagine that.  The test did say at the beginning that political correctness had no credentials when discussing global warming.

Thing about it is, even if global warming was a man-made phenomenon, what could be done about it?  Not much... I'm afraid we'd all be sol.  What country is going to sacrifice their economy dealing with it unless every industrialized country on Earth follows suit.  Realistically does anyone here believe that could happen, or would it only be incumbent on the United States to try to do something about it?  Let's say a good faith measure was attempted by industrialized countries to reduce global warming.  Does anyone realistically believe such measures could be enforced?  I sure don't.  Imo we would be sol.

To prove how CO2 is needed and is not bad, would you please inhale a canister  that contains just 6% CO2 for us?  Please!
