lol Rip...that was clever.

Seriously though, you honestly believe that global warming, or some kind of negative human effect on the earth's environment is not happening? You put it all down to mother earth correcting itself in a cylical way?

I'm no scientist and I don't claim to have a link to any sort of proof of its existance but denying that we humans are doing a bunch of environmental damage is burying your head in the sand.

We take naturally occuring substances and turn them into poisons of every imaginable kind. We produce tonnes upon tonnes of waste chemicals from factories and refineries. We drive cars that belch caron monoxide into the air, millions upon millions of them. I just don't believe that there are no ill effects, or that those effects are not hazardous. They HAVE to be.

I realise that there is politics involved, and not just democrat vs republican stuff....it's a global thing. Environmentalism has become a trillion dollar "industry" in and of itself. Big money = politics = corruption. Every time.

Personally I don't hug trees and I am as guilty as anyone with respect to poluting. I just don't try and deny it.

Well according to the Bible and religious types..The planet is only a few thousand years old.

whats wrong with global warming? algore says the oceans will rise 20 feet, is that bad? only for the people that own million dollar water front property and the makers of winter coats and BIG OIL ( heating oil ).

i see only good things from global warming, lower heating costs,people will not have to fly south for the winter (saving airline fuel), the boating season in the north will be from feb to oct, growing season will be longer( more work for illegals)and food for us, the snow skiers will have to learn to water ski.

BTW the "link" was on the front page of one of the pittsburgh, pa news papers.

From your website, global tempertures were as warm in 1878 as they were in 1995. Guess it was all the diesel and gasoline, eh?

Actually that was from one of the links weaselsan posted. If I'm reading it right there has been a warming trend for the last 160,000 years.

Agreed...and if fossil fuels have only been around for 100 years (and in heavy-use quantity for 60 years) that shows that the trend would have been global warming with or without man.

Maybe Curval can now undertand, the planet is a very large one, and mother nature creates her own global warming, with or without us.

Recently read an article about global warming.
It stated that if the earth was following it's pattern, we should be having a slight ice age now. But due to human interference, notably centuries of agriculture (rice) in the east, and then the modern days, we are just warming up

So, in short, this is not the natural pattern.
