Quote:Hate to break it to you, but the earth is always changing. Even if there wasn't a single human being on the planet right now, the planet would still be in a state of constant change. The planet is not dying. Don't buy into the fear created by all these environmental groups ran by lawyers.

Quote:I don't think that there is irrefutable evidence of global warming.
Quote:I have to think that the sun's radiation levels vary and change over time, and that has a greater shorter term impact than man-made pollution.

Quote:The 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1990.
Quote:Atmospheric CO2 has risen steadily to above 370 parts per million,
Quote:There is a direct correlation with CO2 levels and rising temps.
Quote:You don't really believe this is all hype so some climatologist can get some funding??
Quote:The earth is a dynamic entity, but we are heading into a direction that could have catastropic and unpredictable consequences.
Quote:This is scientific proof. Global Warming is no longer a theory, it is happening faster than we have imagined.

Quote:-- CO2 levels, as skipdog points out, are at their highest level in hundreds of thousands of years.
Quote:Is human-generated CO2 contributing to global warming? Absolutely.
Quote:Although I can understand people still arguing the causes of global warming, the fact that it is occurring is grounded in a lot of observational evidence.

Quote:Fact is, there is no discernable pattern of temperature shift over the long term (100-500 million years).

Quote:Sure there have been cyclical temperature changes exceeding what we have now. But that is irrelevant.
Quote:We are raising the temperature of the planet. That is not in question.

Quote:Actually, it *is* in question. Yes temps are going up lately in most places, but there's no concrete proof that it's as a result of human action.

Quote:If the answers to both of those questions is 'Yes', then how can you not conclude that human action is not playing a part in raising the temperature of the planet?
Feb 17 05 11:33 AM
Quote:The real question is whether we are raising temperatures outside of what would be normally expected.
Quote:What happened one million years ago or even 20,000 years ago is not as important. Human civilization did not exist then and there was no reliance on agriculture.
Quote:If we are indeed raising the global temperature, the consequences of climate change could be catastrophic.
Quote:What is in question is what effect it will have and what we can do about it.
