Global Warming

[Miller0700]

Hoax or reality?

[The Desert Fox]

Real issue that we should take into consideration, though it is overly hyped.

I quite agree. It could be a catastrophe if no one decides to start caring, but that probably won't be for awhile. We should probably start caring soon though

[.Manicrose.]

Reality. I agree that it's overhyped but those on the far right (I would know, since I'm currently in Alabama) tend to ignore it. Apparently campaigning against birth control is more of a pressing matter than trying to not fuck up our planet anymore.

[Leon Kinotolian]

It's an overhyped reality that needs a reasonable amount of attention, but we can still set it off to the side for a bit. Maybe another five or six years tops. It's not like we'll wake up tomorrow and there'll be goddamn lava dumping from the sky.

Even I amazed at how pissed I get when people spend their time arguing against gay mariage when we have to worry about not screwing up the Earth (The only place we have to go right now...) and teaching the next generaltion intelligent thought.

Inside job.

Absent, perhaps you live in the Minecraft Nether.


But anyways, the atmosphere would cool down if we had some major volcanic explosions...

Same here man.

It always made me angry when they argued about overhyped bullshit like the muslims building their place in new york and gay rights when we have more important things like our jobs vanishing.

I once watched a video about a house made of wood that had lava defences.

It burnt down.

Oh lulz it was in minecraft.

If you read State of Fear by Crichton you'll see a pretty good argument for the not happening side of it.

Since that really shaped my views on it I'd say basically, show some real evidence as to the cause, effect, and how what we're already spending loads of money on to lessen global warming is working.

No simulation bullshit.

I have to agree with that, but just because we have no solid evidence doesn't mean we shouldn't try to keep the plant clean.

[Loxor]

Yeah, we can try, but I don't want us wasting all this money on stuff that we don't really know if it even effects the environment.

I'm all for not ruining the planet, ecology and all that but global warming isn't necessarily all that's effecting the ecosystem.

[ModestMusic]

It would be foolish to throw every bit of funding at cleaning up the Earth, but I believe a great deal should be. What we are doing may not be causing global warming, but we can still mess up the Earth with trash.

[Loxor]

Yeah, that's exactly what I am saying. Global warming is us wasting loads of money that could be used in a much better way, simply because we haven't confirmed anything about it.

Why not just worry about what we're doing to the environment by deforesting everything.

Like anyone in power gives a fuck. Like any average person gives a fuck. For different reasons--former want their money and power, latter want to watch moar Two and a Half Men, but same effect.

Well, that's exactly what State of Fear was saying. Global Warming is this huge fear you can get the masses to attempt to fix. He claimed it was the next nuclear winter; the promise of demise. There's no money in stopping deforestation, but if you scare the shit out of millions of people and get them to donate to a BS charity to stop global warming you'll make tons.

[ModestMusic]

And luckily there are people like us that give two craps!
But we are outnumbered by far

And mow if only someone could channel the money into doing something productive for the enviroment...

That would require people in power to currently not care about themselves.

[ModestMusic]

Or not. We could just take a little time and go above and beyond by doing just little bit more than our part

Its getting hotter because earth is at its peak heating cycle soon in the next 100 year and beyond were going to start seeing temperatures from the past its a 4000 year cycle 2000 years heating 2000 years cooling, in the 60's they were concerned with an ice age that apprently was right around the corner

Doesn't change the fact that we are screwing up the planet with our pollution.

The topic is global warming Not global pollution =S.
But yes i agree, companies should stop dumping toxins just because its easier for them

[xRhetorical]

I just think that the Earth goes through cooling and warming. But I think that CO2 isn't helping.

I don't believe in global warming as it has been advertised, but we are doing something foul to the atmosphere...

[Geeksta]

I agree with you. Although I accept climate is changing, climate always changes. It's a fact of life.

Agreed. I mean people seem to think that because we're fucking up the earth, all the people/corporations trying to "do their part" to save it in some way must be doing this from the goodness of their hearts. No, they're exploiting the situation to make a profit.
