As global warming causes the polar ice caps to melt and the sea levels to rise a little, do we have to go back and rewright all the science books and geography books, etc. that deal with the height of mountains and everything else to reflect their new distance above sea level?? If so, then how often will we do that if the ice keeps melting and the water continues to rise??

I'm a sceptic. Convince me that it's humans causing it, and that it's going to cause major problems in the future.

I approach with an open mind, though I don't promise to change my opinion.

Is there a higher level of oxygen in cold air rather than in hot air? Or do humans absorb more oxygen from the same air when it is winter rather then when it is summer?

Considering that 93 million miles away is a huge ball of fire that goes through its own cycles of solar activity, and considering the sheer f**king size of this ball of fire we call THE SUN, surely this has more effect than the humans possibly could.
Lets debate it!

I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" on TV and now I'm really concerned about Global Warming. I already recycle and drive a low emissions vehicle but I was wondering if there are any other ways that I can help try to improve Global Warming?

Old house, roadside terrace; we are told the supply pipe underground is still lead. OH always runs tap for ages in the morning before filling kettle. In these conservation-conscious times, how long to run the tap to be sure of getting fresh water?

For credibility as well as how it sounds.
Every year aquifers across the United States become more and more dried up or polluted. 36 states have even said that in the next ten years they will run out of water or run critically low. One example of this is in the Texan High Plains. The farmers are pumping groundwater faster then rainwater can replenish it, and the water tables are dropping faster than ever as more and more is required for plants. And the U.S.’ Ogallala aquifer, the largest one in the country, is being depleted at a rate of 12 billion cubic meters a year. The total amount it has lost so far is about equal to the annual flow of 18 Colorado Rivers. Many farmers in the High Plains are now turning away from irrigated agriculture as they become aware of the hazards of pumping too much and realize water is not in endless supply.
Speaking of the Colorado River, the sinking levels of the Colorado River and its salinity, or saltiness, are already causing tensions between the United States and Mexico.
This is not just in the U.S. Along with its scarcity, drinking water in many developing countries may be contaminated, causing disease and even death. Sudan, Zimbabwe and Syria are among the most affected. Approximately 4,000 children worldwide die every day of diarrhea.
Not having enough pure drinking water causes a chain reaction, sometimes starting regional conflicts. For example, Iran, Iraq and Syria believe and have valid claims to the water in the Tigris-Euphrates river system. But because there is not enough water to meet these demands, their claims must be reduced.

...How come those who believe in global warming are in favor of restrictions affecting the lives of others, but aren't doing these things themselves?
(If you don't believe this is true, look at how much electricity former VP Gore is using).
...Your opinions, please.

The evidence below suggests the latter. The producer has done some scientifically questionable things in the past. Channel 4 once had to make a public apology:

Here are two refutations:

The movie even trotted out the "volcanoes" claim, refuted by:

I m not asking one i'm tell you all that al gore lies. Has anyone
been to Antarctica? I dought it. Well I have and when the 2 miles of packed snow and ice starts to melt then i may worry. You see what Gore forgot to mention that each summer the ice around Antarctica melts, NOT all of it just some and in winter it comes back again and sometimes more freezes. Now if Gore wants to get his facts straight tell im to go there and spend a winter. Globale warming is all a pile a crap. The earth goes through these temp changes. It has for millinia and it always will . As for the gasses causing globale warming thats a crock because if it was as he said, then answer me this. Combustions engines were not invented till the late 1800 and what he is saying is that in less than 100+ we have almost destroyed the atmosphere. Common people get a grip. If thats the case then we should be out of time by now. The earth is not going to blow up or fry us for a hell of a long time. If ever. Grow up. and live.
