Unbelievable....

It amazes me even today in this forward thinking society that people don't realize that the ice melts every year in the poles and re-freezes but if "they" tell you its freezing it doesn't worry people.The ice has been melting for millions of years the planet is a living thing that has evolved over and over again,apparantly cooling down in the most industrial time on the planet."They" have only been banging on about this since Maggie Thatcher wanted to close the mining industry.Then "they"ran with it.If you need to ask who "they" are its time you were tucked up in bed .

Answer:
hmm...the government? maybe i should just hit the sack huh?
O.K. night night.
The earth is only between 5000 and 6000 years old. Relax.
if its global warming then why is it raining so much
idiot
The problem I have with the assertion that humans are causing global warming is that we have no frame of reference because 100% reliable records only go back 150 years.

We simply don't know if the Earth has ever warmed up as quickly as it seems to be doing now. Nor do we know what actually drives climate.

C02 is being classed as a pollutant, yet it is how all living things on the planet grow. It is also being shown as the main "greenhouse gas", when it makes up only 0.054% of the atmosphere. Water vapour is a by far more abundant greenhouse "gas".

Furthermore the much debated Holocene Climactic Optimum was several degrees warmer than present day, yet the polar ice caps did not melt - Polar Bears existed in those times - they did not become extinct.

But my main concern about global warming is how much the research is worth to science and the media - billions of dollars.

Ten years ago it was less than a tenth of that. Global warming is big business - so big that objectivity could easily be thrown out of the window - as indeed it has been. The so-called "consensus" of 2500 scientists in the IPCC report was not a consensus at all. Many refuted claims that humans are to blame but were included as agreeing with the polemic anyway.
And your question is?
Perhaps you should talk to the Inuit who actually live near the north pole, who live with the climate changes that are resulting in less wild life, permafrost disappearing causing their homes to fall into the waters & every year they try to move their homes back to a safer area, only to loose them again. Their storys of life in the North & climate of the North go back before Christopher Columbus. Talk to them about your theory that everythings the normal status quo. But hey, don't take my word for it, try these sites out for such a forward thinker as yourself....

THE LIST GOES ON & ON. would you be willing to live in the artic near the melting ice for a year to back up your statement?
totally agree 100% you are on the side od insanity people dont relize these things do they?? it all a lie!!
lets start with the truth.......
And they demonize scientists that accept funding from energy industries, scientists that have actually worked to deliver a product that has been IMMENSELY beneficial to man. Meanwhile, they praise scientists who would have no job in the real world without funding from the government...we all know that there is no corruption in government, ESPECIALLY when given a nebulous problem, no responsibility for a viable or beneficial solution, and OODLES of money to fund it.
Dont realize it?
We do realize it. But its not going to make a huge difference. This has been happening for millions of years, and it wont make a difference for millions of years.
What was the question?
Or were you just feeling like a rant?
I hope you feel better now that you have it off your chest.
Don't worry it's just another fad, just wait until there is a big earthquake or a huge volcano goes up, they won't be panicking about a little bit of global warming then.
And your question is?
who are "they" banging M Thatcher, the mining industry, the ice caps?

Unfortunatly you just sound like an addict getting scared that maybe this cheap energy drug you've been using does have side effects after all - so retreating even more into denial - shout loud enough & any problem will go away.
