The Barnyard

So none of you were convinced even with the bare facts from the video staring you in the face...oh well...

Friend, I'm just a Christian car guy. I can't answer a bunch of science questions, I took my last science class in 1990 at PC. I seriously doubt any of us on the BY are experts in any of these fields, but I'm sure we could all regurgitate questions we've heard are the "gotcha" questions from both sides. A good resource, for those who might actually interested in what the Bible says about a lot of the things of the past is:

Never heard that one before.

You had me at hello

-I agree. They should have not made it a political thing.

-That is all I want people to admit.

The human population has been between 100 million in Year One and gradually to 1 billion by
the 1800's; in the later 1800's we went from 1 billion to the current, cozy 7 billion.....maybe that
would have something to do with it. It's no particular industry's fault, we're just cookin' the planet.
There will be many creatures that benefit from GW; some that won't; but it is happening.

I lived in Alaska from 1980 - 1988. I recall when the state built a multi-million dollar visitor's center
at Portage Glacier, just South of Anchorage. Busloads of tourists, etc. could pull into the parking
lot, see the glacier a 100 yards away. Now, she's gone from sight, around a bend; and the permafrost
cooler we dug, 5 ft. deep, at my brother's cabin 25 years ago, is melted and has turned to mush...
And there are many other glaciers, warming symptoms, and ice floes melting. One whole island is
melting soon, and the Natives are being relocated to the Mainland; that's Nunavak Island. Toast....

And I would not vote for Gore, Obama, or any Democrat on the federal level if you promised me we'd
beat Clemson for the next two decades...it is certainly used by them, but that does not make it go away.

Al Gore isn't good for much to be honest.

All I want for people to admit is:

-The amount of greenhouse gases (CO2 and others) in the atmosphere has a positive correlation with Earth's temperature. (The exact extent is still unclear)
-Human activity has led to an all time high in greenhouse gas emissions. This rate continues to grow.
-If temperatures rise enough, the effects could be dangerous

If people will admit to these three then i will shut up about this.

No fair Joe You’re changing the rules

You initially said:

They should have not made it a political thing -That is all I want people to admit.
I will sign up and on to that statement

Aside from this, I have agreed in principle and provided video evidence that people and cars are anecdotally responsible for possible increases in global temperature or at the very least in raising my surface temperature.

I'm not prepared to commit any further without additional video footage.

funny, the issue is climate change, not al gore. that gore was right about this, that he was right to say before we invaded iraq that it was a stupid thing, for being right you resent it

dont listen to gore, listen to the 99% of real scientists then, stop making it political and it will stop being political

i think having ron reagan as the poster child for running up deficits was the wrong choice, bad role, i like him better in bedtime for bonzo

science...not politicians

There have been plenty scientific consesus...es in the past that have proven to be wrong. "Bleeding" patients to help get rid of their "humors", the idea of spontaneous genesis, that pluto was a planet, how black holes behave, how many planets there are in the universe...the list goes on and on. Again, I've stated I do believe that humans have an effect on the environment, but not nearly to the level postulated by climatoligists. Hell, that gives me another example. They've been predicting 4-6 super hurricanes to devestate the US for years, with Katrina being the only outlier in the group. I think you'll see 20 years from now that temperatures will not have continued to rise.

There was no peer reviewed scientific theories of blood letting, or spontaneous generation, or black holes. And the reclassification of Pluto was a taxonomic issue, no scientific theory was made obsolete. Some have predicted hurricanes, but not everyone--it's hardly any sort of evidence against climate change. In short...you are dumb as hell.

No appeal allowed in my spelling class, line 3 above --- faucet

I know what I am about to say will set some off, but since most of this is opinion, here is mine. As a Christian, I believe in intelligent design. As an educated man, I see changes in our environment. As a Christian, I read Revelations with greater interest. As an educated man, I know man affects the environment but also know that weather follows long cycles. Is this a long cycle of rising temps ? I do not know & no one else can be 100% sure. I do not like the EPA because some the assinine(intentional) rules/regulations are beyond stupid. However, we need to treat this planet better, which can be as simple as not littering, finding a new source of energy for cars/heating/cooling/manufacturing.

I have come to the conclusion that if we as a species put as much energy in finding solutions as we do into arguing over the definition of the problem, we could have solved these questions years ago. Do I believe in 'global warming' as commonly presented, no. Do I believe that it is hotter today than it was 40 years ago when I was cropping tobacco in SC, without question.
