Alot of it was interesting, but some of it was just downright unlikely and made me giggle. lol Volcano stuff and alot of others are likely though. Global warming they went on about how hurricanes have increased blah blah. No they were worse back in the early 1900's and even in the 50's Add to the fact that we didnt even really have a hurricane season this year and you'll see they are full of shit, and the earth just has natural warming and cooling cycles.

Why are their tempeture readings up slightly compared to 100 years or so ago that we have records for?

1. Frequency and acuracy of record keeping.
2. Urban spread. Theres a billion or so miles of concrete and asphault we didnt have 100 years ago.
3. They are recording the tempetures around all that concrete, and not the fields and forests that used to be there. Simple as that.

Global warming is a silly scare tactic. How many remember how Greenpeace came to be? Anyone Anyone Bueller? Bueller?

Thats right to help spread the word and stop us from going into an impending iceage due to man using hairspray too much. lol

Ozone layer? What happened with that? Did it shrink? No the hole didnt increase in size since the 50's when they first discovered it. Only shifts and changes in shape. The actual size of it hasnt changed. Yet we heard shit about it every day for years and years. Doom of us all. Every scientist agreed according to the media. We all were going to die of skin cancer due to the shrinking of the ozone layer.. Blah blah blah blah. How bout soil errosion? What happened with that? I remember hearing about that everyday over and over. All our soil was going to run into the ocean. We'd have no soil to farm blah blah blah.

Deforrestation. All our oxygene was going to be gone due to us using up the trees. Blah blah blah. Feel free to let them lead you down the primrose path folks. Use a bit of logic. Ask your grandparents how hot it was when they were kids. Summers were hotter even when I was a kid back in the 70's.

Global warming is a farce. If we all die from global warming in 10 years well then Ill be wrong haha.

Ok this post was in regards to a 20/20 show that cast gloom and doom on the planet in many different scenarios.

I think Global Warming, along with Global Freezing, has been happening in cycles for millions of years.

WE didn't kill the dinosaurs off - there are just some things in nature beyond our control ;)

Stupid to focus on global warming. The earth has gone through many cooling and warming cycles in the historical past....let's focus on AIR QUALITY instead. It can be measured. Let's make the earth greener and cleaner instead of black. This IMO is more important then how hot or cold the earth is. I honestly think global warming is unprovable and a myth. Small fluctuations in temperature can be from a lot of sources that we dont understand....we just think we are so powerful that we can change the temperature of the earth. AIR QUALITY!

NIce comparison, but we still get SMOG days here in Toronto. I dont think we need smog days. If you're only going back 100 years though, you are missing the best part air quality days i.e. pre industry, pre greed, pre industrial war. We will eventually find a way to live symbiotically with the earth. The earth has needs and they need to be met too.

Then again, the average american pollutes more than any other nationality in the world.

The questions is not wether the earch is gonna blow up or not; it's When!

Till then, enjoy life my brothers and sisters :pimp , we are in for a ride!

Don't you think that crazy things are happening, i mean, see what happened in England, then all this heat... here in Italy it's crazy, seems to be in september while it's december, only this weekend it snowed a little....i think that seasons are revolving...what are your concerns regarding that?

Global Warming as it is currently being presented is bullshit. Logically though, global warming has to be real to a certain extent. Let?s look at our own bodies for example.
