Re: funny you bring this up

People will make excuses to defend people they've never met before in their lifetime while defying what scientist all over the world are saying, and these scientists have studied and recorded the weather patterns their entire careers, and they have compared their recorded history to the recorded history of scientist long before them and all that recorded history is telling them that this planet (earth) has become warmer.

Check out the link below, copy it and show it to the father of the bride just to show him how stupid he is about global warming just bc he has the right to defy recorded history from the people who study weather change every day of their life and comparing with the history that was recorded by people that has studied our climate long before them. Let him know that people don't have to be scientist to understand that we've had scientists that has been studying our climate for hundreds of years and they know a little more about what's been happening with earths climate than he could possibly ever know by repeating stupid chit that he's heard other stupid people saying in just a conversation of what to believe, or what not to believe...

Re: Unbelievable weather pattern- not a drop of rain for 3 weeks here and

I for one don't deny that the globe may be warming (or at least that the climate may be changing), nor even that man almost certainly has exacerbated this trend (or even caused it).

But the earth has gone through severe climate shifts even within the last few thousand years--none of which were precipitated by man-made pollutants.

11,500 years ago, much of the Northern Hemisphere was covered with mile-thick ice sheets. Yet that ice all melted. Why? Was the ice an aberration (no) or was the warming an aberration (no)?

What caused the medieval warm period when olives last grew in England and Vikings last lived on the shores of Greenland and silver mines in Sweden were not covered by glaciers (they had silver mines that were subsequently buried by glaciers that have been rediscovered as the glaciers recede)? What caused the subsequent Little Ice Age that saw the Thames freezing solid every winter for 200 years, and farms and villages in northern latitudes were destroyed by expanding glaciers?

The sea level has risen 120 meters over the last 20,000 years, with virtually all of that rise taking place before about 5000 years ago. All without the help of man.

I think some people would have complained bitterly about the retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet, if they could pin in on oil companies or capitalism. Heck, they would if asked on polls: "Do you believe AGW is the cause for retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet? Yes or no?" because 99% of people (a made up statistic) have no clue what the Laurentide ice sheets were.

Sometimes I imagine a modern society 10,000 years ago, complete with MSNBC announcers pronouncing their dismay about the loss of habitat for the Ohio Basin polar bears, because the ice "which was once 1km thick is now only 250m and completely gone at some points".

If we could run our societies without belching pollution into the atmosphere, it'd be the better alternative. I'm not against "doing something" and certainly agree that pollution is bad. I'm not willing to put my faith in a demonstrably ineffective Government, nor am I willing to live in a cave, naked and eating dirt (but my carbon footprint would be pretty low if I did), nor am I willing to cripple our economy.
