Tell me about our lack of effect on the environment during the next smog alert. Or maybe we can discuss it at Love Canal....or Bopal...or Chernobyl even!

 

Don't tell me we don't effect the environment. That's just wishful thinking.

How does any of that affect the temperature?

How does any of that affect the temperature?

Just a few examples.

Nuclear plants? How do nuclear plants contribute to global warming? What do you suggest we use to generate heat and electricity that won't harm the environment?

 

This isn't the argument. We need cars, we need power but to suggest they do not contribute to global warming is naive. To think humans have no impact is naive.

 

This is typical spin into something other than the argument. The argument was that "human being" play no part in global warming not about nuclear plants. I know its hard not to spin it to your favor but try. Do you not think humans play some part in environmental pollution. If not, go drink the water out of the KY or OH river.

I don't see what's wrong with owning SUVs, Global Warming or not.

Please tell me that Al Gore wasn't wrong! What are we gonna do?

 

Temperatures are cyclical . . . these trends come and go. Global warming is ---well, a misconception at best, a farce (and money maker for some) at worst. Thanks for the info.

 

At least we still have the internet.

They really aren't necessary IMO. They use way too much gas. I mean, if you have a family with like 5 kids I can understand but sometimes I feel it is just too much.

In your mind because you fall for the crap the alarmists feed you.

 

Talk about spin, the topic isn't pollution, it's global warming.

This is a very naive position to think that nuclear plants, hundreds of millions of cars, etc have zero impact on our enviornment, at all. Up until 1800, there were very few factories & zero nuclear plants. Up until 1900, travel was done by horse. The world's population keeps doubling, tripling & quadrupling b/c of better health care & medicine. To think these add people & polutants have no impact, is just a very naive position.

 

Better health care and medicine . . . I thought you all thought our health care and medicine here was terrible?:confused:

At least we still have the internet.

The little smilie guys?

You won't be laughing...once it's too late.

 

Part of what is commonly called "global warming" is a theory that this could actually cause ice age like conditions.

 

Oh my gosh, I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, a little off topic here, but there will be a true global warming one day but that won't happen until God destroys it with fire at the end of time.

the morning with more light later in the day!"

Huh?:confused:

Global Warming is really a misnomer. While the temps on Earth are going up it will mean overall climate change. Wetter weather in some areas and drier weather in others. And yes, possibly the start of a cooling if the Greenland ice cap begins to melt in earnest. It's proven that CO2 causes global warming. Millions of years ago there was a huge volcanic eruption in Siberia that raised the temperature so much that about 90% of all living things on land died out. Today the temperatures are rising more quickly than normal and there aren't any huge volcanoes (flood basalts) letting out that much CO2 so there has to be a source. Of course burning fossil fuels is one of the main causes. Add that to deforestation (which includes more burning) added to a slight natural upswing and humans are accelerating something that normally takes thousands of years.

 

While I don't think that nuclear power is hurting the cause of slowing climate change; I also don't like the idea of waste that is deadly for 50,000 years and no where to put it. We can generate electricity with the motion of ocean waves. I causes no pollution, no heat, and is a constant generating source. There is also the option of putting solar panels on roofs (a business I'd love to start if I had the capital) so that houses generate their own power. There are a lot of ways to get power without hurting nature too much and we need to give those fledgling industries some help.
