Global Warming - Part of life? [Closes 05/02/07]

[Tiuhdur]

if we dont cut carbon ommisions by 70 percent by 2030 we will be in serious danger of completly destroying the ecologic balance in the atmosphere and that means big problems for the worlds economy. in the long run i beleive that if gw gets that serious it will mean widespread panic and alot of plants would die meaning less oxygen and in the really long run if all the plants died and the oxygen levels decreased dramaticly it would mean extinction for animals and even the human race

I believe that it doesn't exist. I believe global warming is nothing more than a scare tactic to urge people to pay more attention to what we're doing to the environment. Yes, we should be trying to stop pollution and conserve our resources, but that doesn't have anything to do with "global warming".

Ya bush held that position, unluckly for him and you, it was actualy proven last year, so "i dont belive" it doesnt really work anymore

Where and when was it proven? Articles? Anything at all? I still stand by my opinion.

I have nothing against global warming and if it's going to happen, and we're the cause of it then so what? It's going to happen anyway, on way or another, be it natural or man-provocated. If you look at how the geographical atmosphere has changed in the past 5 million years or whatever, you can see that it's fluctuated tremendously. Carbon in the air, oxygen levels or whatever are changing all the time and if our climates change and a few species die out, it doesn't matter, more will come. There are something like 100 times more species of animals alive today than there were 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs were around (of what they know, obviously there's more to find), but for 250 years of digging, that's a lot more. If animals die out, more will come, it's nothing nature will work out.
As of us, I doubt there's anywhere we couldn't run, at a primitive age we managed to live through an ice age, why not a giant heat wave?

When you sit in science for GCSE, don't listen to what your teachers say, they try to brain wash kids, along with the examination board. They always seem to stick it in the exam. So they blame global warming on us? What about when a volcano erupts? That releases masses of CO2 so really its nature aswell as humans.

[SOLAR FLARE LOL]

Idiots, global warming isnt destorying out planet. Its destorying us.

In comparison to the exsistance of the earth, a fraction is the time of greenhouse gases being pumped up there. The planet is fine, it can live with alot worse than our greenhouse gases.

Trying to stop greenhouse gases is just another selfish attempt by mankind to try and better the earth, when so far its done nothing but kill it. Get over it, were more likely to kill eachother than this god damn planet is.

Nature is going to heat the planet up, thats its cycle. Nature does this normaly. The problem is nature changes, humans dont, so if nature changes humans will probably all die. Not wanting to die, speeding up the process is a pretty stupid idea. We are to blame for that acceliration in the process.

Twinkie: try watching the news or reading a paper, your knowlage of global affairs is likly to improve as a consiqence. Also, use google.

We have sped the process up in our ways of life, but if its going to happen it will and its too bad really...

It wasn't proven, everyone is brainwashed by it, the news channels act as if it's real because they've been told too or they could just be looking for a story to report on.

People say this change is happening faster than normal, well what is normal? 50 years?, 100 million years?, NOT ALL CHANGES WILL BE THE SAME!

It's just a way to get TAX which is MONEY
