Environment - August 2007

Forget the term "global warming" and everything circling it. Do you believe there is a problem with the amount of trash we produce? Do you believe there is a problem with the amount of pollution we produce?

Please follow my rules or you will be ignored (at least by me):
1. No speak of Al Gore.
2. Do not insult others.
3. Please only reply with whether you believe there is a problem; or if you think there is no problem.

So more people are paying attention to global warming. Gore won an Academy Award; people are buying Prius's. All good. Most people in the world could care less.

What earth affecting event needs to occur before everyone on this planet will give up their civil wars and petty squabbles and join together to solve this problem? And when it does, will it be too late to do anything about it?

Deadly floods in Asia, a cyclone in the Middle ast, tornadoes in Brooklyn, more hurricanes & earthquakes, & extreme temperstures around the world (2.46 degrees F. increase)since January,'07 in Africa, Asia, Europe, & South America. Extreme weather forcasts to continue. What if all the nations only combat climate changes,etc. for their own nation instead of working together for the good of all humankind?

One of the gases released from flatulence is carbon dioxide. I enjoy eating bean burritos which among other foods is known for causing wind. I feel terribly guilty every time let one rip, that I might be melting a glacier or causing the death of a polar bear. Without giving up these foods, what measures can be taken to offset these carbon emissions so that I can stay fart-carbon neutral?

First start off accepting the premise that global warming is happening:

http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/info/warming/

If global warming skeptics/deniers are right, then something other than humans is causing it. They don't have a scientifically valid explanation (it's not the sun, natural cycles, volcanoes, etc.), so the planet is just warming for some inexplicable reason. Since we don't know what's causing the warming, we don't know if it will stop. Therefore:

Scenario 1: There's a 50/50 chance global warming will continue, and we have no control over it.

Now assume that climate scientists are right. Most agree that humans are the primary cause of the current warming and that we still have a chance to avoid the worst effects by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

Scenario 2: We have a chance to avoid catastrophic climate change, but we don't appear to have the political will to do it right now.

Which scenario would you prefer?

To those who don't understand why it's a religion, consider the fact that global warming has all the major components of any religion.

1. Sin - global warming enthusiasts claim that we are sinning by driving around gas guzzlers that get 10 miles to the gallon, plus all the other ways that we are supposedly contributing to man made global warming.

2. Redemption - Global warming enthusiasts claim that we can redeem ourselves by driving hybrids, using solar power, and reducing ourselves to two sheets of toilet paper per visit to the restroom.

3. Revelation - They claim that if we don't change our ways that we will be living in an inferno and man kind will be doomed.

4. Profits - People like Al Gore who claim to know what will happen in the future.

5. most importantly..... FAITH - The global warming enthusiasts are riding on nothing but faith that these lifestyle changes will bring the earth back to its natural and pristine state, much like the Garden of Eden

A) Global warming SKEPTICS get their way, we do nothing and it turns out they were wrong?

B) Global warming THEORISTS get their way, we take action and it turns out they were wrong?

Which would be the worse of the two possible outcomes?
