I can't believe there is still a debate about this- here's a group of retards who were hired to skew facts to benefit oil companies- too bad the scientists behind the studies they used came out and said they were full of shit:
QUOTE
Scientist to CEI: You Used My Research To "Confuse and Mislead"
The business-backed Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) released two ads last week to "counter global warming alarmism."
One of the ads says research shows "The Antarctic ice sheet is getting thicker, not thinner. . . Why are they trying to scare us?" Actually, scientists say increased snowfall in Antarctica's interior is evidence that global warming is taking place. Scientists also say that the ice sheet is melting at the ocean's edge and a recent report says it is shrinking overall.
The ads drew a protest from a University of Missouri professor who says they are "a deliberate effort to confuse and mislead the public about the global warming debate." He said one of them misuses a study he published in Science magazine last year on the Antarctic ice sheet. An editor of Science also said the ads misrepresent the findings of that study as well as a second study on Greenland's glaciers.
The second CEI ad notes that carbon dioxide (CO2) is "essential to life," and says, "they call it pollution. We call it life." That ad fails to mention that too much CO2 can cause global temperatures to rise or that there is more of it in the atmosphere than any time during the last 420,000 years.
CEI, which gets just over 9 per cent of its budget from Exxon Mobil Corporation, said it was only trying to make sure the public hears "both sides of the story."

Is it your contention that there are no reputable scientists that disagree with the global warming disaster sceniero? Also, just out of curiousity, if inteligent design is such as joke why does Yale University have a school of divinity?

Well, there are
few scientists who don't agree that it's occuring, but why do you always try to twist my posts to fit into something you can argue with? My POINT was that a company who's paid by oil companies came out with a paper that was total bullshit and that the scientists who did the actual study even came out to say so.
When did we start talking about Intelligent Design? I think there's already a thread for that, but since you brought it up- yes, it's a total joke and nothing but horseshit that will hold us back. What the hell does Yale having a divinity school have to do with anything? I took a raquetball class freshman year- does that mean we should teach it to children?

http://www.factcheck.org/article395.html This would lead one to believe that any position other than yours is clearly wrong.
I wasn't talking about intelligent design, I was talking about a group of retards. Yale is one of the leading liberal institutions in the US and I am sure the faculty there would overwhealming condem intelligent design. Yet, the administration there maintains a seperate school of divinity and confers degrees which most of the faculty would say are useless. My point is, if you are willing to spend enough money you can find someone to do what you want.

Global warming is a facade.
The ice caps melt - shit happens. Deal with it. It's what happens. The world evoles with or with out humans. To think that we, a single organism, makes or makes not what happens to the planet is self-agrandizing. Get off yer high horse and find an underground shelter.

And when George Carlin said that it made sense- you just fucked the quote up and made it untrue. To say that we have the power to
destroy the Earth is thinking a bit much of ourselves, but we can and do make it unliveable for ourselves. Don't believe me? Go drink some water out of just about any river or feed your pregnant wife some fish that you caught out of the great lakes.
Most scientists agree that global warming is a huge, real problem- even the ones George Bush's administration agreed!

yeah, the world goes through its cycles of hot and cold, there's nothing we can do about that. But to say that we have in no way affected the natural cycle of the earth, is just plain wrong. We have accelerated global warming dramatically. It was going to happen eventually, due to the natural cycle of things, but that is besides the point.

Humans are definately contributing to global warming. But I have to say, this planet has been comming out of an ice age for quite some time, who knows how hot it can potentially get. Perhaps it is just continuing to warm up at an accelerated pace due to the hydrocarbon fuels and all the rest of the shit we pollute this place with.
Btw: Those CEI ads are hilarious. Its so blatantly obvious that they are propoganda. what a joke.

Mr. Garrison said something like "if you weren't allowed to have premarital sex or masterbate & you had sand blowing into your ass-crack all day, you'd be pissed off too!"
So what we really need is to get them onto some good hookers and blow.
That would solve the terrorist & fanaticism problem.

i think blocking out the sun and giving them gatorade would be enough the crazy bastards may just be dehydrated. atleast that was martin lawrences excuse when he went crazy.
