In regards to the disappearance of "The City of Atlantis" do you think it was "Global Warming" that was responsible for it's demise?
And if so, what else do you think Global Warming could be responsible for?
After all, in this crazy world anythings possible....

I'm just curious as to how the Global Warming Experts blame US for everything that is directly tied to mother nature.
In sunny California where unfortunately I have to live they claim it's Global Warming whenever the sun is out and it's the end of the world whenever it rains.
Gosh,I wish they would make up their minds.
Is it Global Warming or the end of the world?

Bush has a time machine and he took lots of CO2 back and caused ancient global warming to flood Atlantis. He was practicing for when he floods Iraq so the war will stop. Sand people can't fight in the water, and America has boats.

I honestly think that this global warming bit is nothing more than the free enterprise principle in action. Some business poeple got together and was thinking how they could make more money. Since the scare tatic works in politics why wouldn't it work in buisness. (Carbon credits, all the new green tech. etc.) I'm i saying its bad to be responsible in regards to the environment. NOT AT ALL. we should be. How far back, do we have records of temps. globally do we have? How long ago did they find the hole in the ozone? How old is the earth suppose to be?
The global warming folks will say; we have core samples of ice and soil to back up our claims? But,what is their answer for the affects of erosion on the accuracy of their claims, because the mountains out west that are shrinking from wind/water erosion, the melt water that is coming from the bottom of the glaciers. In a funny way, their evidence is being floating away by the wind and water. So really their evidence is flawwed.
So what are we to do, Be responsible, think and act in away that is right, safe and healthy not just for our short time here but for our kids and their kids and so on.

Did AlGore invent Atlantis too??? Didn't his great,great,great Grand Dad grow tobacco there???
Answer #2 gave a great answer to Atlantis.
Well Global Warming brough about the great era of the Dinosaur, and Global Cooling took them out. Global Cooling allowed the Neanderthal to flourish in Europe, and as the Earth warmed again (Global Warming), they could not adapt, and Man (Homo Sapien) became the dominant Human Life Form.

IF I believed in Atlantis I would feel that the destruction and sinking came NOT from the ICE AGE nor GLOBAL WARMING, but the demise of the island due to a tidal wave or many tidal waves, taking and sinking it as if it were an atoll, with nothing beneath it.

The prevailing opinion among scholars is that the legend of Atlantis began when the eruption of the volcano now called Santorini destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete, both in the Mediterranean.
There have been a number of warming and cooling cycles throughout the earth's history. Among other things, they made it possible for people to cross from Asia to North America, and for horses to cross in the opposite direction. In the last ice age, you could walk from England to France, and many of the world's islands were part of the mainland. It's also believed that the flood stories in the Old Testament and in many of the world's cultures stemmed from a thaw that saw oceans rising and creating huge new bodies of water where they hadn't existed before, such as the Black Sea.

Global Warming is an incovient truth,many people think its not serious but it is.Why do some people think Global Warming isnt serious?Becuz they're trying to ignore the fact that if we dont change our lifestyle...who knows what'll happen,something not good thats for sure.Think of some of the animals...Polar Bears are drowning because the ice is melting.As temperature rises,so does the the heat-related illness and even death for the vulnerable human population.Global Warming will cause intence rainstorms.Another consequence of Global Warming is deadly heat waves and the spread of disease.
We can make a difference by doing the following things:if you have to go to the market//store try walking there walk more,you can recyle,replace your incandescent bulbs with flourescent bulbs they might cost more but they eventually pay for them selves becuz they dont burn out,recycle,instead of turning on your AC open your window,whenever possible use a clothing line instead of a dryer,unplug electronice from the wall whenever you're not using them,plant a tree.
"Global Warming is one of the most serious threats facing our country and our planet today. Scientists agree that global warming is real and caused by human activities and many say we have only 10 years to take action before we cause irreversible harm.
Excessive resource and energy use and a growing demand for raw materials are largely responsible for the depletion of natural resources worldwide and the acceleration of global warming – which is contributing to rising sea levels, extreme weather patterns, extended droughts and floods, disappearing glaciers, and increased health risks.
Fortunately, there are many things we can each do to respond: use less energy, drive greener cars, green our homes, and demand that corporate leaders and our elected officials act today.
40% of the world’s resource and energy use is linked to the construction and maintenance of buildings, and about 33% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. come from transportation. By reducing our energy consumption at home and at work, by building green buildings that are more energy efficient, and by driving and demanding more fuel-efficient vehicles, we can begin to make a difference.

Atlantis did not exist. It was a construct in Plato's famous discourse on politics and society (The Republic).

No. Atlantis is just a fantasy without evidence. And we weren't buring large amounts of fossil fuels so long ago.
The scientific data has proven global warming, (mostly) caused by man burning fossil fuels, is real.
