Environment - July 2007

Quite frequently people point out that global warming / climate change is a scientific theory and imply that it is therefore untested and not necessarily widely accepted.

How many actually know what a scientific theory is and are aware for example that gravity is a scientific theory, so too is the world being round or that it revolves around the sun.

Hello I'm Moley.
Rats are cool, they know where all the nice scraps are.
People leave out food for them and then try to kill them whilst them and their ickle babies are trying to survive off this food which would only be wasted anyway.
Humans carry diseases too.
Rats will only attack if they feel threatened, you aint never heard of rats hunting down humans.
My friend Nobby do San Keku Geri an he kicked me in the head once when the takeaway I got gave us both food poisoning and we nearly died.
People want to kill me too.

30 years or so ago during the 70's, all the scientists told us that we were entering a stage of global cooling and we were going to have another ice age and all of Canada would be covered in glaciers....Now that the glaciers are receding should we thank global warming for saving mankind?

Source: In April 1975 Newsweek reported: "ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically," They warned of a "drastic decline in food production." Political disruptions stemming from food shortages could affect "just about every nation on earth." Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of Global cooling.

If we can somehow bottle the hot air from the mouths of liberal democrats like Al Gore and Kerry, we can fuel the world.

There is no way to keep your kids from being bobmbarded with libreal propaganda on global warming etc. if they go to the public schools and or ever watch tv. It drives me insane. Luckily I got to my kids before the brain vulutres did so they understand the truth about global warming and that it is only a natrual phenomanon that is not worth panicing about and not something soley caused by us "eveil power consuming humans". The earth warms and cools. That is what it has always done. What cracks me up the most is the ones that are so concerned about global warming ( Al Gore and just about every hollywood celeb) are the ones going around in there limos and private jets and consuming 20 times more energy in there big 30,000 square foot mansions. That begs the question. Does Al Gore and his cronies really bebieve there own words? My mom always told me that actions speak louder than words so I guess Al and his friends are no more worried about global warming than I am.

Compared to the Earth's atmosphere, which is .03% carbon dioxide, the atmosphere of Mars has 95%, while Venus has 96.5%. Why hasn't Mars warmed up like Venus? Why is it the Earth that's warming up even with its low percentage of carbon dioxide, which is said to be the main culprit in global warming?
