    Also how is it "arrogant" to think that doing harmful things (like polluting the air) can actually cause harm? You're suggesting humans aren't capable of catastrophic environmental problems or damage the planet?

    Anyway, learn to swim. See you down in Arizona Bay.


    nice dodge of the questions. what melted all that ice from the past ice age? humans apparently survived and prospered.

    arrogant to think we can control climate - reread my post.

    i do agree we need to conserve and be good stewards of the environment, but co2 , which the algores would have you believe is the human pollution causing global warming, is not a pollutant.

    if the earth is warming, then it is a natural phenomenon, repeated in cycles, which the creator put in place and continues to control, uncontrollable by humans, and is not the crisis the globalists would have you believe.

    anyway, learn to open your wallet for the coming global taxes.

      Re: what is the biggest challenge our generation will face...

      I'm not dodging anything. I didn't directly answer them beacause I think we're all aware the Earth has gone through hot and cold periods in its history. I still fail to see how that means a real warming period (the highest in our recorded history) isn't a major problem and a non-issue. I'm not suggesting every single human will die immediately but if you don't think a lot of places being underwater that are currently inhabited by millions of people world-wide isn't a big challenge, your criteria is a bit off. That's only one of the issues with the planet warming, too.

      What's the harm in trying to do something about? Especially when those things are things that should be done anyway - less pollution, getting off of oil, etc. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work (and we're screwed), but if it at least slows it down a bit, why wouldn't you take part? Because someone might make some money? Talk about opening your wallet - you're opening it quite a bit for gas and oil right now, no? If I'm going to open it, I'd rather open it for things that are better for the enivironment than burning oil.

      Again, I don't get the super-skepticism on this topic. People are skeptical about what the majority of scientists are saying, but not of what the oil companies and big business are saying? Doesn't make sense.

      Also, if you answer "yes" to any of the following, you have a lot of balls being skeptical about global warming:

      Do you believe in God?
      Jesus Christ as the son of God?
      Angels?
      Ghosts?
      Psychics?
      Astrology?
      Heaven?
      Life after death?
      Souls?

      If you believe in any of those things, you need to apply the same skepticism you're applying towards global warming at those topics. There's a lot more proof of global warming than any of those things, yet, most Americans believe in at least a few of those things. For the record, I don't believe in any of those things, but I do believe in global warming. Why? Because I can actually see it happening and all science points towards the fact that it is happening (and faster than predicted).

        So that's who the polar bears have to blame.

            Yeah, if one guy says it, it must be true. Nothing to see here, folks. John Coleman said it's a scam.

            And talk about dodging questions - you ignored my questions about whether or not you believe in anything on that list. I'm guessing from your "creator" comment that you do.

              I think i'll take David Suzuki's word over some meteorologist no matter how experienced he is.

                those questions you havent answered but arent dodging go directly to the reliability of what world leaders want us to believe about the current climate.

                what areas are you suggesting will be underwater? I would appreciate some listed out.


                the skepticism comes because the stated solution to gw is a global tax that would be paid by us and loss of sovereignty/liberty to the UN.

                What is the UN going to do about global warming? they are the most corrupt political organization on earth and want to tfer power and money from nations to them.

                also imo, humans are made to believe in something, and if you dont believe in a higher creator, then you are going to believe in something else.

                gw is a substitute religion for those who choose not to believe in a higher being.

                faith to believe in gw caused by human activity(co2 as a pollutant) - which is false

                sins by being an evil human driving a car and using ac, etc

                forgiveness of sins by paying a tax

                salvation given by the un(higher being)

                  Well, definitely not the big business of global warming. Can we do better with the environment, yes, but panic, no. What happened to all the hurricanes we were going to get hit with after Katrina. The icl

                  1. Oil/Terrorism
                  2. Decline of any integrity whatsoever in our politicians (about 90% of them). Vote them ALL out and start over again.
                  3. Illegal immigration
                  4. Decline of the family

                    Speaking of Katrina, all the develoment of forests/beaches/other natural features, needs to stop. Because so much of the wetland in Louisiana was destroyed it stopped the natural weakening effect that the wetland has on hurricanes.

                    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
