Did you get your dose of DailyKos, MichaelMoore.com, and Democratic Underground today??? :roll:

I'm not on either side and I'll take that advice:rock:

Follow STEED's gravy train.

Are Feck I give up. :damn: :rotfl:

I tend to fall on the "They haven't proven that it's man-made, or that it's anything but a natural progression" side, but I agree with Steed on this. It's like most political, or even religious arguments, in that most people supporting one side or the other "know" that they're right, and the other side is full of beans.

I believe Joseph Joubert was right: "The purpose of argument or debate should be progress, not victory." Neither side here seems to be interested in getting at the truth, only in proving that the other guy is wrong.

:lol:

Dammit, hungry now.

Well, true. But it's they who are trying to prove it is man-made. They're making the charge, they have the burden of proof. And they have not been successful at proving it. It would at least be a start if they would admit the glaring flaws of their modelling. Or at least the correlation of data that doesn't support their initial assessments. But one area I agree with Steed is, I've given up putting much effort into this debate anymore. It's become like abortion.

@ Steve-:yep: :yep: :yep:

Does that strike anyone else as being funny?

I'm convince over the the global warming issue. Even if it is exagerated by both parties. Weather is changing. Is it a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? I don't know the out come in the next 20 years. But from my experiance living and seeing the changes, there are things happening. There are freakish weather events happing in the last 5 years getting worse than the past 15 years. 20 years ago many of these weather pattern never happen here where I live. People who are far older than me also added that they never heard or have seen things that are going on reciently.

So things are happing. That can not be denied.

I just wanna point out from Tchocky's link that the article made a point that most of this lost ice retreated before cars and CFCs and all were common - "Much of the area was lost during a warm period in the 1930s and 1940s."

Personally, i think the global warming by manmade causes claim is false. I know many people think otherwise.

I also think the debate is occurring because people want to be able to feel like they're in control of things. thats human nature. People dont like the idea that things might be changing and feeling they're helpless to stop it.

LOL!:rotfl:

Another conspiracy? This one is even better than the evolution, creation, religion in schools, and evangelical arguments we used to have.:roll:

Where are you getting your facts, because after having to correct you on the issue of off-shore drilling in the last debate, I'm really starting to lose interest in this (same s***, different day).

Entirely to blame? No. Are we to partially blame? Yes.

Statistically, CFCs and fuel emissions from cars along with the temperature have increased, which seems to point to a relation between the two. In addition, experiments conducted by Oxford University and Berkley University, the pollution emitted by humans has been shown to increase the temperature somewhat, by a degree or two (which is a significant amount). However, Earth has done this before, long before CFCs or cars existed (CFC products, anyway). So, it is also a natural part of how the planet works.

Why many people don't believe in Global Warming is beyond me. Maybe they don't fully understand it. Maybe they're involved or have relatives who are involved with fuel companies and corporations who don't push for a clean environment. Maybe they think they know the drill, but in fact have gotten bad sources or are just arrogant in their thinking manner. I dunno. They'll have to tell me and explain, in detail, their reasoning.:nope:

I know. It is ignorant to think our actions have absolutely no consequences.
