I beg to differ. If you look at the track record of the Bush administration they have gutted all the environmental programs for Big oil and natural gas… They have been given rights to drill in national parks and protected lands to further their interests. I think some more research is needed before you can make a statement like that…If you continue to go with blind ignorance and say “Hey I will be dead what do I care” Then be glad you wont be there to be held accountable by your children and your grand children.
If you have money to waste …go for it 😀
It is well known that the earth has gone through heating and warming trends… I posted all that in the last global warming thread. What I think you are finding misleading is the (rate)…. Most heating periods took place over thousands of years not a couple hundred…
The basis of global warming is that the earth is heating up to quickly not that it is heating up… The reason it is heating to Quickly is do to green house gases that retain heat…
Maybe this will clear some things up.Climate is influenced by many factors, both natural and human. [7] Things that increase temperature, such as increases in heat-trapping emissions from cars and power plants or an increase in the amount of radiation the sun emits, are examples of “positive” forcings or drivers. Volcanic events and some types of human-made pollution, both of which inject sunlight-reflecting aerosols into the atmosphere, lower temperature and are examples of “negative” forcings or drivers. Natural climate drivers include the sun’s energy output, aerosols from volcanic activity, and changes in snow and ice cover. Human climate drivers include heat-trapping emissions from cars and power plants, aerosols from pollution, and soot particles.
In their search for clues, scientists compared two natural drivers of climate (solar changes and volcanic aerosols) and three human drivers of climate (heat-trapping emissions, aerosol pollution, and ozone depletion), altering these one at a time in their sophisticated models. Changes in the sun during the twentieth century have warmed both the troposphere and stratosphere. But human activities have increased heat-trapping emissions and decreased stratospheric ozone. This has led to the troposphere warming more because the increase in heat-trapping emissions is trapping more of Earth’s outgoing heat. The stratosphere has cooled more because there is less ozone to absorb incoming sunlight to heat up the stratosphere. Both these effects combine to shift the boundary upward. Over the period 1979-1999, a study shows that human-induced changes in heat-trapping emissions and ozone account for more than 80 percent of the rise in tropopause height. [10] This is yet another example of how science detectives are quantifying the impact of human activities on climate.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

BuddhaThat’s My Brittle……… Love you too Buggy….
Adam you know you love this mushy stuff……
Holy Hanna I have been telling Brett the very same thing … I am glad someone else is telling him that also…..
Yes, I am sure that religion could be a great things for many. It just seems to me that the innate nature of the human race is to corrupt, distort and destroy all that is pure and good. For the sake of power and personal gain.
The thing is, I don’t have a problem with people having beliefs. I have my own. I am just a firm believer in to each his own… No one faction should consider themselves the one and only voice.
You are most likely right. He probably was an OK guy. But I cant agree with people who preach one thing and do the complete opposite. People who use terror tactics to force you into their beliefs then preach what good people they are. I do not go out in public and shove my religious beliefs down other people throats. Then threaten or try to brainwash them when they don’t agree…
I soooooooooo don’t dig that….No changing this ones path…..This one chooses to think on her own and not be brainwashed by the right wing Jesus freaks. Who are the biggest hypocrite’s going. Just be wasting your time…… 😀
Ahhhh……grasshopper you have so much to learn……
Very kewl, Bird Flue is the topic for tomorrow. Futurama is on ….Have to have my dose of Bender…….
I also agree that a threshold has been crossed. Now can the severity of things be delayed or softened? Who knows. Do I think the world population will change enough to make a difference? No. Not until people are individually touched by this. That’s when you will see all the futile changes and by then it will be to late.People think this theory of global warming is new and its not.
I do think that its worth giving it a shot. No one really knows …we might be able to make a difference.
Do I feel sorry for the children who will inherit the earth? Very.
