GREEN IS GROOVY!
I live in my 30 year old school bus which runs on FREE waste veggi oil, 350 watts of solar power have prevented me from having a lightbill the past 12 years and the wood for the woodstove is free. Wood heat and veg oil for engine fuel are carbon neutral and solar electric is zero carbon. And just in case you don't believe in global warming, I like FREE. That means I have more money for other stuff and I am glad that I am no longer supporting the 400milliondollaroilcompanyexecutivejerk retirement fund.
Peace,

As real as it was at the end of the Ice Age, As real as global cooling before the the Ice age. As real as beating record highs and lows from 100 years past. come on now, the Earth cools off a half a degree over a few years, and the Artic is melting. I put an ice cube outside at 20 dgrees the temperature went up a whopping 12 degrees to 32, guess what the ice cube still frozen. The Earth has been proven to heat and cool at differant times of its four billion year life span. If you Climb a big hill in west texas you find sea shells, Large ones. the earth changes,it goes through cycles. global warming activists need to latch on to a new cause. If you are fighting a cause and begin your statement with "I THINK ", It becomes a pretty good indication that you DO NOT KNOW. and you just picked up on the next fad cause, because the others got old. or you are just gullable enough to follow anything

It sure beats living on a FRICKING GLACIER!!!
Seriously, life loves a greenhouse. Ten thousand years ago, glaciers once towered where we now have built New York City, London, and where we farm the midwest. Canada would be solid ice if it weren't for global warming. So would much of Europe.
About 1,000 years ago, the Earth was several degrees hotter than it is today. It is just now getting back to normal.
I, like most living things, cannot live under crushing glaciers. Warming drives them back to allow life to flourish.
Life LOVES a greenhouse!

We can relax and enjoy it. Just think how miserable people would be if it were colder outside!
Global warming is caused by the Sun. There is nothing anyone can do to stop or reverse the Sun's input.
It won't always be this warm. In fact, it hasn't been warmer since 1998. We're in the process of cooling down.

I feal great about global warming. Global warming means our earth is healthy and doing exactly wht it has done for millions of years. However, if you look at all the ice core data back to the last ice age the earth is getting cooler

Well, it has been proven that a lot of the chemicals in the air, soil, and water are very damaging for our health. A lot of the chemicals have proven to cause infertility, birth defects, deformities, and reproductive problems. If we let this happening for more years, humans will also be in huge danger.

Check my last question.
I asked skeptics to explain me why the CO2 we emit would NOT increase global temperature levels and got no valid answer so far...
