anyone who has done econometrics can spot the issues with this "unbiased" view right away.

one question no one has ever been able to answer....what if we CANT actually do anything to change this? then what....

70% of it is water vapor right off the bat. Another 20 percent is natural, like rotting leaves and bogs. So even granting humans are 10% (which is a high estimate), assuming we halved out output - would Katrina really have been that much better if it was 5% less? Does using a coffee cup to stop a flood really do anything? Or are you better served preparing for the flood and building stronger houses?

The other bug I have is that in the 70's, scientists were all up in arms about Global Cooling. It was on the cover of TIME. Blah blah blah, now it's the opposite. Their margin of error for calculating planet temperature is .6 degrees, so when they say the temp is .7 degrees higher than 100 years ago, how accurate is that - is it even statistically significant?

I think it is good to question everything and see other points of view, but at the same time I think we need to do our part. Blindly using our resources without thinking of the repercussions is not a smart idea regardless if you are trying to save the earth or not.

this is the only reason i think its a good thing. it is pushing innovation and efficiency and stopping waste which was running rampant in the mid to late 90's the the global boom times we have been experiancing.

i think we as humans really are dreamers to think we can cool down the earth. remember at one time it was too cold for human life and its been too hot as well. We are but a blink in the scope of the earths existence. There was an earth before us and there will be an earth after.

Exactly...the earth will still exist, however the ecosystem will change.

it changed before we were here too...remember the ice age....

Re: Interesting Argument About Global Warming

I have an uncle that is BIG into this, and I think he see’s it from one said and that is the very negative side that the world is doomed if we don’t do anything. I would agree with you that we are such a small piece of the puzzle and we don’t have MUCH of an affect but I think what some (maybe not most) is that we should try to limit what affect we do have on global warming. We can’t stop it, but we are definitely not helping and if we all just do a little (something as simple as using an energy efficient light bulb) we can help slow it (what every that is). Khyron has a very good point that a lot of this is uncontrollable and we are only 10% of the problem but with 6,602,224,175 in the world and if you say the average human has 1 tonne of solid waste a year that is 6,602,224,175 tonnes of waste so if we all cut back by 50% that is 3,301,112,087 that is A LOT (if I tell you I am cutting your pay in half I bet you would think 50% was a lot). So if we all do our part maybe we can make a difference.

Re: Interesting Argument About Global Warming

he passes off the economics like it doesn't matter tho. the way its presented is completely biased how he places importance on things. i mean im sorry but given the choice between a lifetime of poverty, death, and the way things are now...if i cant have stuff the way it is now i'd rather just die quickly...instead of with a disease or hunger

Re: Interesting Argument About Global Warming

I'm not a big fan of the 'saving the earth' argument. The real truth is that it is the 'saving the monkeys that live on it'. If 'we' all die off the earth will rebalance and go on its merry way and on a formation to destruction timeline we will barely rate.

What the various groups are doing, both in name and argument, is pure spin marketing.

Personally, as long as I don't have kids then why do I give a crap what happens 40 years from now? I'm in with the 'whore' camp.
