Lemniscate Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I would like to say that I HAVE researched and don't appreciate beying referred to as if I am mindless or stupid. Global Warming may or may not be happening, I would say that, if it is, we should stop making a big deal out of it. When the end comes it comes.

But, as Darth said, there is no possible way to stop, revert or slow global warming as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't think we should do anything.Why funnel money into something we aren't even sure is happening, and something that, even it is happening, we can't fix anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was around then, as you say, which means no concrete proof exists. As such, I see it as stupid to say that anyone's theory has anymore validity than anyone else's. In turn, I personally just choose not to think or care about that sort of thing as it cannot be concretely proven either way.

Dark Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 When I said we cannot fix it, I was implying we do not yet know how to fix it. We can try and try again until we do fix it, and maybe find a "cure", maybe not. EDIT: Also' date=' can you physically prove that no ice ages happened? That no big bang took place?

I cannot prove the big bang happened. No, you cannot prove the ice ages didn't happen. You cannot prove the big bang never happened. ??? These are theories, one of them has to be correct. We already have proof of a dated ice age, why can't we say there have been multiple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefached Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think global warming is a bunch of gibberish.It was believable at a point until scientist warned us about global cooling. wtf, you can't just tell people to stop polluting because its warming up the planet to much and then tell everyone to stop because now its to cold.no.

If you don't understand, it means ice age. Back to my example... 1.) Temperatures increase. It gets hot.2.) Ice Age I3.) Temperatures increase. It gets hot-ter.4.) Ice Age II5.) Temperatures increase. It gets hot-ter-er.6.) Ice Age III7.) Temperatures increase. It gets hot-ter-er-er.8.) Ice Age IV Steps 1, 3, 5 and 7 were global warming. Steps 2, 4, 6 and 8 were global cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
§hadow §triker Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Global warming is terrible. It is destroying the O-zone layer. That will expose to the harmful UV rays produced by the sun bu filtered by the O-Zone layer. In addition, it is destroying animal life, ex. polar bears. Saying you don't care about other life forms, all that matters is us humans, the dominant life form, that obviously shows your selfish and you just don't care. But it is bad. It increases the Earths surface temp. But luckily, they have been working on new energy efficient tech, to reduce the carbon dioxide in the air and reduce global warming. In the year 2050, we humans will be living in a dump if we do not act. If you have ever watched the show Ecopolis you will learn a lot of interesting facts. Bottom line is, Global Warming is a tragedy, the humans have introduced to the world in a selfish attempt to better out own lives. But it is not an improvement. We failed if our goal was top better our live, and it is an epic fail, if we wanted to better the earth. I never thought I'd type such a long response. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The true effects of global warming won't happen until our generation and the next few generations are dead. Stop believing all this TV and radio hype, its not that serious. While there are effects, they are, A, not as bad as most people think and B, won't be here for a long while to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people thought that the earth was flat. Maybe 5, 6 people thought the earth was rounded. They could not BOTH be wrong, one of them had to be right. It turns out the roundies were correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the only options are the only options doesn't mean one of them has to be correct. There's actually been more than one ice age anyway. And back then the human mind was far too narrow to accept that the most popular belief was actually false, which you still see today: everyone chooses to believe the most popular theory.

Cin Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I understand what Darth is saying, and I can see how people can use that over you. Without physically finding it out for ourselves, it means we can be manipulated. And Knowledge is Power. Global Warming is a natural process, but its because it appears to have stepped out of the natural cycle then we get worried and suddenly we become very sensitive to everything. And some of the 'prevention' methods are actually more damaging than good, e.g BioFuel (Food Prices rocket, and you would need a ALOT to run a car), Hydrogen Cars (Producing the Hydrogen isn't good...) and Electric Cars (Unless run using electricity produced renewable) With Ice Ages, you would need to look at the age of Glacial Deposition and Erosion, theres several distant points of a advance just within the UK.
