you're behind the times.
i didn't say that we were. i had said that we were the primary cause.
its billions of yeas old. you're understanding is quite limited, apparently. |

brainkick, ironically enough the other possible consequence of global warming is an ice age in some areas as glaciers melt they release colder water into the atlantic and thus push the gulf stream further south and the stream is responsible for moderating the weather in northern areas... |

theory: 1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: einstein's theory of relativity. gravity is only a theory as well. feel free to fall up, m-r-anderson. people who say that "its only a theory" don't really know what a scientific theory is to begin with and are just displaying their ignorance. many of the arguments that creationists try to use against evolution are the same sort that those who deny global warming use. its also like when the tobacco companies use to get "experts" that showed that smoking cigarettes didn't cause cancer. of course you're never going to get a 100% consensus on anything, but there is still enough of one that proves that global warming is real. would you believe that there are still those who think that the earth is flat and the center of the universe and they also claim that they can prove it and that the scientific community is hiding this from the people. there is no conspiracy of world domination through non-polluting. [rollseyes] some people should up their meds. (i.e. eba) |

are your facts on global warming as flawed as your facts on this documentary? it was not broadcast years ago, it was originally broadcast in july of 2007, it was rebroadcast with corrections in august 2008. no one is forcing you to download or view this show at all. there's nothing worse than people supressing counter claims on the global warming debate. i gather if it were a ufo documentary, you would demand it be removed because it engages in speculation as well and may be full of false claims. most people are smart enough to see through claims made in any documentary, most regarless of subject matter, tend to engage in speculation. claims made in global warming documentaries on both sides of the issue are filled with inaccuracies and speculation. as i said, no one is forcing you to watch this show or for that matter believe it. but trying to make it go away so others can't watch it and make up thier own minds, is rather ignorant. |

the australian meteorological and oceanographic society summed this programme up very nicely "the great global warming swindle does not represent the current state of knowledge in climate science… many of the hypotheses presented in the great global warming swindle have been considered and rejected by due scientific process. this documentary is far from an objective, critical examination of climate science. instead the great global warming swindle goes to great lengths to present outdated, incorrect or ambiguous data in such a way as to grossly distort the true understanding of climate change science, and to support a set of extremely controversial views." |

the only reason that carbon dioxide was chosen as a scape goat was due to it's presence being able to be linked to humans, generating guilt and in turn wealth. what little 'evidence' there is supporting carbon dioxide as being the primary cause of the globe's temperature flux is all specifically selected chance, whatever correlation between the two does not prove causality of one to the other, it just proves carefully managed 'evidence'. a classic example would be the statement: "the average lifespan of a citizen has a strong correlation to the number of tvs per capita." wherein it's not the tv's causing the increase in health care, but tv's as being bi-product of wealth. here, carbon dioxide is the tv, global warming is the life span and the real cause / constituent causes are either unknown, or unrealised in the consensus of public opinion. water vapor has a much larger potential for energy retention - it makes up a larger portion of our atmosphere, but there's only one problem - you can't establish a link between it's being the cause and having dollars in your pocket. so i am forced to conclude that there is some hidden agenda, whether it be as obvious as its being a revenue source, or as others have thus far suggested (whether they be mad-hat theories or not i don't know) some ploy to establish a stronger global government. seeds have been planted i say, global warming's 'link' to carbon dioxide has been devised and not observed for some bodies personal gain. |

nice rebuttal i understand the mechanisms by which carbon absorbs energy from sunlight (this is just science) and i understand that carbon is being emitted, i hear nothing on estimations of global emissions and the methods behind them, nothing on the 'limits' other than that we will hit them and cause the end of the world, nothing on how these limits are estimated and the comparisons between human emissions and emissions due to natural activity. why don't you go scower some research so that you can put someone like me in my place with some references instead of just spewing what you hear on the tele, or in my lucky case, just insulting someone? oh wait, i don't have to if i offset my emissions by paying someone at a shop and putting on a bumper sticker. i can forget about all that and start to judge everyone else, because i've done my part. |

there are much more reasonable links that can be established explaining the globes temperature, as suggested in this video... the sun, it's a whole lot more plausible than carbon dioxide. one has just got to be aware that it's not only the temperature driving the movement that is global warming, a whole host of external factors having an impact. politics, pollution in general, money etc. hence it is only just that a cause should be picked that is much more applicable to it's driving forces interests, yes picked - why is it that any other correlations are ignored?, they're not as applicable. if it were the sun, what could we as people do about it?, people need the pretense of their possession of the power, our actions need to be able to make an impact on our problems leading to an eventual solution. if it were the sun, there'd be no money-go-round, no political agenda, no improvement to our awareness of pollution, which yes... is a bad thing, it's just not causing the change in temperature. i mean think about it, a small relative change in the rate of the sun's fusion is equal to a large change in energy output and it has been observed and is well known that the sun has its cycles, surely solar climate would have a much more realised impact upon earth than a small variation in some gas as a percentage of our atmosphere which has a relative near-negligible potential for energy retention when compared with some of the other, more abundant constituents of our atmosphere. hell, 'global warming' has been known by another term for the last forever, humidity... it's effect upon perceived temperature have been observed long before either 'global warming' or 'global cooling', this latest craze of carbon dioxide is little more than that, a fad. the sun is the driving force of our weather, it has a variation in reaction rates, the planet gets heated and a larger proportion of water vapor is the result. |

wow talk about going off on a tangent!! what has al gore ripping ppl off and the fact i use electricity got to do with the fact global warming is real!!! nuclear power is the only real answer at the moment. not very good but better than the alternative and maybe a little more incentive to get something done better and safer ![]() |
