You just called Al Gore and Mark Prince mental cases.:thumbsup:thumbsup

This is a mere hypothesis but the people who fund this kind of research would have a serious conflict of interest to say the least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin

It makes a lot more sense to me logically than dead dinosaur parts fuelling up our vehicles.

It's hot outside right now

Can't explain that!

I wouldn't trust anyone with that lastname.

Global warming is not BS and your explanation oversimplifies the problem.

The first is TOO MUCH CO2 (and other "greenhouse gasses")... CO2 is a greenhouse gas because too much CO2 in the atmosphere keeps more heat, warming the planet. Just a couple of degrees increase is enough to decrease ice and increase water causing more flooding. It also causes the ocean to warm, which creates stronger storms.

The second is what causes the extra CO2, but CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. People are a major contributor thanks to cars, industry, oil etc.

The earth, via trees and other plants, absorb CO2. The problem though is that there is not enough forests and plants to do this anymore. More CO2 is being pumped into the atmosphere than can be absorbed.

Global warming is real, the cause is up for debate. We certainly dont help the situation though.

how can anybody not see that?

But the oceans aren't rising....

Glaciers in New Zealand are growing and the southern ice caps are the biggest that have been observed.

But hey, don't worry about the facts.

If you have some cheap beachfront property I'll be more than happy to put my money where my mouth is.

"Global warming is BS"
"Global warming is not BS"

Who cares. These kinds of arguments are irrelevant. Whether it is or it isn't, we are being asked to live greener lives, to drive less, make our homes more energy efficient, use less energy of all types, recycle, reuse, etc, NONE of which is a bad thing.

There are obvious signs that there are some things going drastically wrong with the planet, the environment, the oceans etc. Idiots, including all the idiot scientists and polititians who can't seem to agree on anything, all need to quit playing the blame game and just agree that it can't hurt for everyone, as in all of us, to make some changes in our lives.

But for some it's simply too much to ask to toss something in the blue box instead of the trash. Idiots. Many will continue to be this irresponsible because of all the idiots out there saying the whole global warming thing is bullshit. Fact is we need to dispense with global warming and yammering about it and instead just focus on doing the right things for the environment.

Well said.

Just because the cause of being good to the environment is legit, doesn't mean it's not being used for a scam. There are many charities asking for money for starving children in the Third World, they often give less than 10% of your donation to the cause and use the rest to pay themselves $100K + per year salaries.

We should not fall for the propaganda, sure, we are polluting and destroying our environment, but don't stop your investigation there and agree to a contract you haven't looked into; that's how people get scammed. It's those who have looked into what that money would be used for who have realized that this whole thing is a hoax.

It isn't a religion. One doesn't believe in it or deny it.

But you know that already.

This is the game they play, they do the same with vaccines allowing for no middle-ground. :2 cents:
