The science is out there, but conservatives would rather believe a bible than empirical scientific evidence which 97% of climate scientists believe. They'd rather believe oil companies instead of environmental scientists. They'd rather believe in conspiracy theories and say that scientists want to prove global warming because they have financial interests in it. What a bunch of fucking morons.

even if you agree with what you just posted, then you should know that the damage that has been done is irreversible according to some scientists and at best we could only slow the process..
the problem with human beings is that we can only look at things that relate to time in terms that we can understand..
meaning that humans have a hard time looking forward or backwards more than a few hundred years..
the truth is that the earth has had climatic change that resulted in catastrophic extinction of thousands if not millions of species.. we have no idea since we are constantly finding evidence of life we did not know existed..
is what we are seeing one of those climatic cycles that will lead to catastrophic extinction?
who knows, but i find it interesting how humans have a hard time imagining earth wihtout them inhabiting it when the facts show that human beings are just a blip in the timeline of the earth's life...
i used to believe in global warming, but know i think it is just a normal earth cycle or maybe the future end of the earths life..
i may change my opinion, but for know, this is what i believe...
if people really want to do something to impact the environment, they should start worrying about the path we are on to extincting our oceans fish and subsequently killing our oceans..
that is going to have a more profound effect and will happen in the next 40 years if not corrected and that is a FACT...
