Global Warming

In 10 years, our air hot and choked with greenhouse gases, snowfall a thing of the past, Florida, New York City, and L.A. buried under the waves, hordes of panic driven refugees, drought, floods, violent storms having made sea crossings impossible, the spread of ruin and devastation. My question is since humanity will be doomed can we go ahead and run riot in the streets, all while pillaging and violently settling scores? In other words, can we have some fun?

Aside from killing trees for the creation of cardboard and paper used to make them, fireworks produce smoke and release toxic gases into the air. I have not seen any scientific studies performed to determine mathematically, how much pollution is created and the effects of it.

cold and snowy winter thus far; surely not what the GW crowd
was hoping for to advance their theories.

The square footage, the ceiling height, the volume to limit how much area we heat as humans and how much global warming we produce and how much in resources we use to produce the unnecessary luxury heat and materials to support one life?

So the other day i was watching this freakin retarded show on nickelodeon and it was like kids news where some old lady talks about effects of global warming in some part of the world and about the kids it affects. So then some camera crew goes to places like kenya, indonesia, etc... and well in one country something like indonesia, it was raining too much and it flooded and stuff. and the kid said, global warming is causing it to rain too much. he said "im really mad at america and china for causing global warming because global warming makes it flood." Then it went to africa, where 3 young girls talked about how a river had dried up because global warming had made it too hot and the river evaporated and now people have to travel for miles to get water out of this sorry puddle which is supposed to be a spring. and i was just wondering how global warming would cause 2 very different climate changes? and if the kids even know ANYTHING about dry and rainy seasons?

I think it's a natural cycle of the earth. Based on studies of the earth.

But my co-worker (who is a bit of a greenie) thinks we humans have caused it, and that if something isn't done soon the earth won't be able to reverse the damage

So what do you think?

Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) skeptics/doubters/deniers always seem to make political arguments like:

It's all a liberal/socialist hoax/conspiracy.
Scientists are making it up for the money.
IPCC is biased.
Al Gore blah blah blah.

When they do make a scientific argument, it's usually very oversimplified and amateurish.

On the other hand, those who believe the AGW theory is accurate generally make solid scientific arguments. For example, proving that the current warming is not being caused by the Sun or natural cycles, showing that the planet is warming more at night than during the day and that the upper atmosphere is cooling - both of which are predicted by the AGW theory, etc. etc.

Why is there such a discrepancy between type and quality of arguments?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change proposes a maximum sea level rise of 32 inches this century.

But in the journal Nature Geoscience, researchers say the true maximum could be about twice that: 64 inches this century.

Last time I checked the relation of the Earth to the Sun either being closer or farther away has more to do with this than anything we do i.e. orbit. I am for a cleaner planet but taxing me for so called "green house emmissions" solves nothing until the likes of China and India not to mention Eastern Europe clean up their acts. All of these so called models predicting the future can not even 'back cast' past weather patterns and we know what the weather was like 100 years ago so who do we believe Al Gore a life long politician with an agenda or the scientist no intemidated but the Global Warming crowd? Who benefits? Who gets more power over our lives?

not paying attention?
tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding, snow where it doesnt usually fall, 60-70 degree weather in Dec/Jan where winter usually exists, nature is reacting people

the facts are out there and the most ignorant of them all try and fail to discredit them or ignore them

change must start now not 20 years from now, it all starts with YOU, every little action helps, even picking up someone else's trash

The good news is that the majority of Americans accept the scientific reality of man-made global warming. The bad news is that it's a significantly smaller majority than in most other developed countries, and we're the largest contributor to the problem.

Those who are skeptical or deny the AGW theory are usually incapable of presenting a scientific argument as to why they doubt it. A good example is the disparity in quality of answers to this question asking for proof by either side, in which the supposed "top answerer" denier responded.

The problem is if you don't understand the science and reject the conclusions of the experts, you're almost guaranteed to be wrong.

Does the fault like with American schools? American media? Why is the USA lagging in scientific understanding?

If you asked the question "How much snow will there be this year?" just a couple of months ago, there is little doubt that believers would say that we would be lucky to see any snow this year, and most likely we would be wearing shorts in December because of "global warming".

Now that we are having record snow falls, the believers are claiming that the snow is caused by global warming, and they commissioned "studies" that prove "conclusively" that the record snows and cold are due to "global warming".

If climatologist can't forecast the climate 2 months from now, how can we trust or believe the predictions they are making 50 years from now?

Clearly they are just taking a guess. No one can predict the future. Any prediction is no better than a coin toss.

Can't everyone agree that climatologist are just guessing about the future?

The Bush administration's ties to oil and gas are as deep as an offshore well. President George W. Bush's family has been running oil companies since 1950. Vice President Dick Cheney spent the late '90s as CEO of Halliburton, the world's largest oil services company. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice sat on the board of Chevron, which graced a tanker with her name. Commerce Secretary Donald Evans was the CEO of Tom Brown Inc. -- a natural gas company with fields in Texas, Colorado and Wyoming -- for more than a decade.

I love all the world wide temperature charts and graphs that are posted here on a regular basis. However, I know in five years when this scare is over, like every scare we have had in my life time, all the information will become unavailable. Is there a good resourse for this information so I can keep tracking world temperature data, ocean level changes, the size of the hole in our ozone and others?

This question is inspired by a previously posted question regarding global warming. I sensed feelings of being overwhelmed by the constant barrage of information the media has now chosen to pay attention to, yet sincere aspirations to address the very real threat posing life on this planet. My question really is how do we preserve our energy to face the difficulties and changes we know we need to make, without burning out, especially when our media and culture continuously promote pesimistic view points?
