Global warming is coming two days before the day after tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

Run and hide now!

 

not even in the same class. Go ahead keep telling yourself that Gore doesn't know what he's talking about, the polar ice caps are melting and we are observing them melt in real time. This is not propaganda but verifiable fact. Even Rush can't deny it anymore. The arguement has moved on to whether or not we can a) stop it b) should try to stop it and c) it has nothing to do with man.

Whether or not we had anything to do with it, or whether or not we can stop it now is completely irrellevant, we will have to deal with it one day and we may as well start learning to deal with it now.

 

You took my comical comments a little too seriously. And I agree with your standpoint. . . there really isn't enough evidence to support whether or not it is man-caused or not. I'll abstain from an official opinion.

But it's not like it is coming two days before the day after tomorrow. It'll take some time before we see major effects. It's not like catastrophe is going to strike overnight.

It's not like all the dinosaur farts caused the Earth to freeze overnight leading to extinction and the ice age. . . but global warming is definitely something to consider and address. Whoever thought that moderate (moderatism?) thinking would go extinct due to the over cannibalization of extremists (on both sides).

 

wasn;t there something on TV about why Einstein was so smart? his brain had some irreguarities I believe?

 

so yeah global warming sucks, good thing scions are all 4cyl

 

I could of sworn you felt that way because you were a texas fan!


























Go USC

 

im not a neurosurgeon.. but i do think I remember hearing that einsteins brain was larger than normal.. its packed away in a lab somewhere..

 

Oh he knows what he's talking about. He talks a good talk. He just doesn't practice what he preaches. I think it's hilarious that a self-proclaimed champion of the environment has a personal electric bill 24 TIMES what the average US household has!
But I do agree that our environment is in serious trouble. We (people all over the planet) have been abusing it for centuries and we are starting to see the effects.

 

Whoa, Vince just scored again! How can you stop the guy?

BTW, USC fans might want to get ready to hold on for dear life. Between Reggie and McKnight, yall might be facing some NCAA scrutiny fairly soon

 

Ah, I assumed you meant you were the one performing the autopsies not merely assisting. But for neurological redundancy, it doesn't mean extra useless stuff that only works when the other stuff gets damaged. It is all fully used. It's like a multilane highway. Just because one lane is shut down doesn't mean the whole highway stops. And when all the lanes are open the highway still runs using all the lanes.

 

Yeah that would be yet another myth. He was no different than you or me. He actually failed math class and yet went to be the founder of some of the most mind blowing physics and mathematics that the world has seen (aside from steven hawkings, who I feel is more or less the living heir to his throne). He just had a really good imagination and found his niche.

 

Yeah I saw part of that documentary thing Gore did, it was mainly fluff. You can twist statistics to any conclusion you want. I used to believe all that vehemently. Now I can deduce that you cannot, without a doubt, link air pollution to global warming. It could definitely contribute to it and it does definitely contribute to smog and our cities smelling like a$$ though. I still think we should cut down on all the emissions and convert over to other forms of energy, but the global warming could be merely a natural cycle. You can't expect something orbiting a constant energy source to not naturally warmer over time... The ice caps are melting. Global warming IS occurring. How bout we focus on preparing for the change and bettering society instead of trying to point fingers?

 

Exactly. BTW, I never saw the Gore flick.

 

Don't bother, its boring as hell and most of it is inconclusive evidence that he presents as conclusive. It annoyed me to watch it and found myself yelling at the screen a lot... My feelings on it can be summed up thusly: "Correlation does not imply causation."

 

That's why I have no intentions. They say you can't judge a book by it's cover, I say they are a bunch of idiots and that you can.

 

I dint see the movie either but I do have a question how much did he spend to make the movie and why havent I heard of an actual plan on change instead of him talking about it.

I dont care where the world is at today if that guy was President during Sept,11 we wold still be talking about what to do instead of actually applying the knowlage and follwing throught with it

 

Didn't you know? Jeez. . . the solution is easy. Ever gone to an Earth Day event? Where have you been man???

Smoking lots of marijuana, wearing sandals, rock music, a big dose of smug, and talking smack against the "machine," "big brother," and "big business" solves global warming.

Forget about creating the necessary funds to finance research projects and subsidize alternative fuel. That doesn't help at all. Hugging trees is far more effective as it makes them eat more C02.

I love the southpark episode where they sniff their own farts. LOL.

 

Gore's solution is a flawed concept known as "Kyoto agreement". Which is really just expensive toilet paper. It was a bad policy to begin with, starting with the fact that it didn't put any caps on what industry was going to have to spend. If it cost $100 billion per partical removed from the sky, then that's what industry was going to have to spend.

Secondly, it didn't take into count India and China's growing industry and need for power, and thus they were excused from the agreement because of the "3rd world country clause". Today those two countries are putting old tech coal fired plants online like they are Starbucks. Combine that with the 2 largest populations on the planet, and you may as well wipe your butt with the Kyoto agreement.

 

Oooo, I was not aware of that. Well that certainly puts things in a different light as to why we never agreed to it...

 

The main reason we never signed it was the industry portion of the equation. What it amounted to was trying to kill a fly with an asteroid, and the US was lobbying for a fly swatter. We wanted controls, and we wanted to cut back CO2 emmisions, but not at the expense of going bankrupt. There are several other economic tools available that would have been great for reducing emmisions that offered a set amount to spend. Kyoto used a tool that included an unknown amount money in exchange for a set amount of reductions.

BTW, no other country on the planet has come close to even attempting to start on meeting Kyoto, even tho they've signed it.
