I mean I am finding it hard to see any real hard evidence by a substantial amount of the scientific community. I saw Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." I don't know how I feel about it though. Yeah it was scary but if it's such a threat why does Gore himself have 4 giant houses and fly private planes and have 5 SUVs. Yeah I know it's the big industry that would be most responsible for the carbon dioxide emissions but. What is this really all about? Is it too evenly spread power across the globe at the expense of the U.S??

Yeah. I just heard that just one of Gore's houses has a higher electric bill for a month than the average American's house has for a year! What a hypocrite. He paid $30,000 in one year for his house's electric bills not to mention all of his limos and planes and private trips. Good thing he got an Academy Award!!! Not.

Developing nations also put out a lot of greenhouse gases, especially from slash and burn techniques, and are also responsible for cutting down trees that help moderate climate and improve the environment. The point I got from the film is that we in the U.S. do not have the same high standards for emissions that other developed countries do. I don't think it is about power necessarily, though some big industries would be happy to save money at the expense of the environment. Of course, if we do tighten up our standards, there is the threat that some industries may decide to take their polluting ways to other countries that have lower standards. This saves them money in the short run, but could potentially cost everyone more money trying to fix the problem in the long run if Gore's predictions are correct. If the temperature keeps going up and storms worsen in the next decade, certainly we should take note and be careful to fix the problem before its too late.

thrilling. i discover it confusing to contemplate the data while a great sort of political factions submit documents on their web pages. an extensive pal is a chemical engineer and has performed a great deal of analyzing on the priority and believes there is something yet consensus. His take is that it rather is a long much greater complicated than the medical community is familiar with. isn't it magnificent how some people call it a fact? i don't be responsive to of something medical that replaced into no longer a fact sooner or later and fiction the subsequent. it fairly is consistent in technology. i think we could desire to consistently act in a responsible thank you to maintain our planet sparkling because of the fact it fairly is the the appropriate option element to do. no one is for pollution, and that i think of many persons have become greater responsive to chemical compounds, etc that are basically volatile. Al Gore does not be responsive to greater desirable than any scientist, and he's incomes earnings from it. If he have been a Republican, each and every liberal on right here could blast him as a profiteer, so because it rather is a reason it fairly is skeptical. we are going to see. the main necessary problem is oil dependency. we are enriching our enemy, and we could desire to become self sufficient.

There is more politics in Global Warming than in hard facts.
Since the movement is moving in the direction of -those little ants on the earth-"people" are causing this warming at this time. People want to jump on that band wagon to get votes and win elections from the local to the national level. To hell with listening to both sides.

Lets put it this way - Yes - Global Warming is real, and yes you can bet different groups are using it to their advantage.
I seriously doubt we can do anything to stop the effects - BUT - we could possibly stunt its growth if everyone starts doing something now.
If we dont start and now, it is a sure thing to grow worse. One Nuke any place on this planet will double its effects.., and that is a constant threat. Two or three nukes could really mess us over big time.

You know, I'm not sure, but you make a good point with Al Gore. I have yet to see the documentary, but it seems the U.S. is taking advantage of global warming.

What the heck are you talking about?
'Global Warming' and 'Globalisation' have as little in common as Wall Street and a country road in Kentucky.

The Global Warming movement is filled with communists and socialists who want us to be torn down. They hate capitalism.
