Nuclear winter?... probably more than you will ever know or care to research.... more scare tactics and hubris for political ends. Do the math.

I'm not trying to scare anyone. Just pointing out than us little humans can change the climate.

Go label someone else. I don't think you've figured me out yet.

Doesn't matter if i "like" them or not. The source you provided even said those scientists views were in the minority. That's my point, one of them anyway. The rebuttal to your argument was contained in your sources.

I'll label you by the posts you have made. You wanted someone elese besides gore and I gave them to you. You asked you received.

Well you keep reading them and you'll get it right one day. I'm not toting a line for anyone.

No we can't, not even if we used every nuke on the planet, burned all the forest and all of the oil tomorrow.

It's a simple equation, X number of grams raised X number of degrees C. = number of calories needed for the change in temp C. You'll find we would all have to burn like little stars to equal the change you see.

Political BS.

I don't think we're on the same page here. It's not about destroying this rock we're all riding on, it's about making it a place where we can't live and enjoy the same quality of life. If we're all burning like little stars that pretty much kills that. Has nothing to do with politics.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yes it does.... if we were all burning like little stars, we still wouldn't raise the temp by more than a 10 th of a degree... do the math for just the atmosphere... the "rock" just puts end to it.

Of course this isn't PC, just fact.

At this rate, we won't be able to tell the difference between them and the French.

Well, apart from the smell of garlic, the fear of soap and a good bath or shower and the fact that we support the US around the globe in the war on terror............ d:)

Nope, I reckon you'll always be able to tell us apart from the Frogs........we have uglier women :^

Al Gore being a consultant on global warming is a bit like having the Enron directors give advice on safe investments.. 8)

Our backbone is just fine, we'll just block the streets and the oil refineries again like we did the last time the government tried to raise taxes on the fuel.

I saw on the news today that Atheists get to choose 2 days off work out of 8, Christians get 3 days off and muslims get 26 days off of work in the UK per year. This is because the government doesn't want to create waves with them.
Any in the UK, correct me if I am wrong.

After hearing this, I can totally understand them hiring gore for global warming!

News to me. Holidays vary between employers but we do have Bank and Public holidays which account for between 8-10days per annum. It could be that because some of the holidays are associated with Christian festivals such as Christmas then the employers are being told to offer other religions the choice but that is just whacky..............very few people actually work at Christmas, although I guess our kebab shops are open then d:)

I heard that Al Gore is getting into music and releasing a CD. Apparently it's to be called Algorythm.................I'll get my coat :'(

I love it, Al Gore consulting on global warming. How about Roseann Barr working on foreign policy, I hear she has some time on her hands. How about Ward Churchill as ambassador to Isreal? Mike Tyson working on world peace. All wonderful resources, just useless when misapplied.

I guess someone needs to further an agenda.

Boomie,

Your description is the very definition of Colbert's term "truthiness" Believing to be true what you wish to be true, regardless of the evidence.

As far as Al Gore's task in England, it probably would be preferable if they had a true scientist leading it. If it were an honest debate that relied specifically on the empirical evidence, they probably would have.

Unfortunately, it seems real evidence has little to do with this debate.

How convenient, that's how I pay copyright license fees, except that I require simultaneous, joint consumption at the Grass Market . . .
