Are you kidding me? Time magazine writes a cover story that we're heading into the "ice age" in the 70's, and cows put out more methane gas (CO2) than cars--according to the "great" United Nations. Please, this is another calamity designed to tax the peeps or create hysteria. The man who started the Weather Channel, a well respected meteoroligist-of course the committed warmers don't believe he's smart anymore- has stated the "hoax" of global warming is just that, a hoax! Finally, the "consensus" isn't a consnesus at all. Any scientist who disagrees is immediatley discredited because he "disagrees".

Look at the tempatures in the 1700's before cars and the "industrial age", they were higher or just as high as they are today. Please give me a break.

"cows put out more methane gas (CO2) than cars"

Transportation fuels and agricultural byproducts combined only account for a quarter of greenhouse gases. The worst emitters are power stations and industrial processes. (source)

"The man who started the Weather Channel"

Yeah, but that's just one guy. We have to weigh his judgments against those of his peers, and they almost unanimously agree that global warming is happening and that it's man made.

'Any scientist who disagrees is immediately discredited because he "disagrees".'

That's because they disagree with the vast majority of scientists. If what they say is true, they should be able to convince the others.

Where did you get all this bogus information? I suspect the global warming deniers are being influenced by strategic P.R. from oil companies and the like.

The planet has been warming up for the last 15,000 years, since the end of the Ice Age. And will continue to do so until the start of the next new ice age. Humans where around when it ended and we will still be here when it starts again. Humans are very adaptable.

Yes, nature is playing a role in global warming, but the speed at which the Earth is heating up cannot be explained solely by natural causes. The scientific community is in near unanimous agreement that global warming is man-made. (source)

And of course humans will survive global warming even if we do nothing to stop it. The question is, how bad will the consequences be?

Side: Yes it will

The problem is that your link is from 2007 and his is from 2008.

Current research trumps yours. neener neener neener.

Yes, the global warming we're causing will have severe impact on the environment. The thing is, we as humans will still be here as we have the ability and the technology to adapt to the new climate, big part of our biosphere doesn't, unfortunately.

Yes, you will either fry or freeze because while we are dealing with cooperate disinformation it is accelerating.

I hope so. Do you know how much it costs me to heat my pool?
