yes it's real and will end ability for us to live here in the next couple hundred years.

Steven Hawkins (one of the smartest guys alive) said just this year it's inedible that we will ruin the ozone within 200 years even if we change and we have to start moving to space to keep our species alive.

Lol where did he say that? Not doubting you, I just want to read the whole deal.

Here is the quote I found he said.

He said he was afraid that Earth "might end up like Venus, at 250 degrees centigrade and raining sulfuric acid."

No.. the question is.. at what point does a resource start costing more money than it does today and what effect that has on an economy.

The question of it running out will come when the world population exceeds the supply. (It's prob to late to be even discussing the subject then)

Truth is... guessing, who knows, but suspect within the next 20 years "resources" which are currently free (or almost free) will carry a premuim and, suspect that will have substantial effects on economies.

''It is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survival of the species,'' Hawking said. ''Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of.''

Ok maybe I missing it, or you just wanted to run off track for awhile, but what does running out of natural resources have to do with global warming... :uhoh

The earth has been around for billions of years. It's not if the earth will survive, it's if people will survive on the earth.

But again, as long as I can survive, I'm hunkydory with that :)

Do you have a problem concentrating on the subject or just like cutting and pasting any old segments from the net to fit any old agenda you may dream of??

You missed it.

Edit some more porn and stay on that subject :thumbsup

I actually watched a interview about 3 months ago. Good stuff

Wasn't about global warning as much as the number of ways that this planet can end is statistically impossible to ignore and we need to move to space.

Remember we are the second true species to use this planet and they didn't survive and lived here for thousands of years.

The next will be something evolved from cock roaches and if we ware smart we will be in space finding a way to make a planet function from scratch.

Ways the planet can end off hand:

ozone can cause so many ways for the planet to end.

meteater

A earth quake can change the atmispher if it's big enough.

Aliens can come kill us

Our axis can fail and flood everything

The sun can shift and burn us all down

Honestly, I don't care if it's real or not

That about sums it up :thumbsup

Problem being he names 3 or more POSSIBLE scenarios that may or may not happen. For a scientist to use the shotgun method to try and get a prediction to come true is pretty weak.

It was a 20/20 special. I saw it, and in fact look on page one I already addressed that exact gloom and doom special. :winkwink:

I was addressing Chaze mention of Stephen Hawkings. What he said did not equate to what was stated.

Same old same old eh? :1orglaugh

Now then explain how global warming would worsen if the so called catalyst that is being pointed to by the scientists was removed from the equation.

Oil is the main pollutant, so if its used up completely how would that increase "so called" global warming?

The truth is if the news said every day that everything was just peachy, no one would ever watch it. The news outlets love to spell out doom and gloom. This is just another cycle of our planet. The ozone layer is fine, thank you.

Want gloom and doom? Here ya go hehe

We can lessen it if we stop polluting the planet:)

That its fucked up.

Lol the Planet is just fine.

and 100 btw!

Said at the start that the content of this thread will be utterly meaningless and full of crap that has no relevance to anything - nevermind "global warming" - and be filled with "opinions" that don't matter.

I am not an expert on global warming nor have I done any research into how this may or may not worsen - and have nothing to offer.

It takes a little more than a stupid thread on GFY, the world's research board and fountain-of-all-knowlege-on-any-subject to produce an answer :winkwink:

Tho would say there is far more to this subject than the stereotyped crap being thrown around by the clueless. Only my biase, but prefer to get information from people with some qualification and actively engaged in this area - from what has been picked up so far, it sure has been an education. But - I know nothin, - no more than the size of a grain of sand.

But.. don't let me stop ya - impart that wealth of knowledge on any topic :thumbsup I'm sure it's good for sig whoring :)

So to sum it up.... Dwindling resources would do nothing to increase any so called global warming. K thx. lol

bunch of dumbasses trying to argue with a majority of scientists

Is that what you assumed this time??? *lol*

That assumption sounds in keeping with your backbone of solid experience in the field. Why not hijack another thread and fuck that up sign whoring with another inane diatribe of crap responses in a feeble attempt to expound your awesome experience on any topic? :thumbsup

Now... about US politics? Abortion? Gay rights? The "war on terror"? Na.. too cliche :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:thumbsup :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The most farcial of the lot was the stupid crap at asking "opinions" from the clueless on that they think - like they have a clue? DUH?

:1orglaugh

Your url doesn't work and I think Steven Hawkins is probably a little smarter then GFY no offense but if you really want to know about this look him up.

I don't believe global warming. I've been freezing my ass off the past week.

I wish it was true, and consistent - We need tropical weather up here all year round!

umm ok whatever. Dude if you have some proof of how the planet running out of oil would increase pollution and therefore increase the so called threat of global warming please reveal it. Stop your squirely talking in circles little quipy stuff. Tiresome lol

Here's the URL chaze..

I'd agree totally with you - and that is precisely what I was saying earlier. It's a joke to assume the opinions of anyone on GFY can be compared to Hawkins or anyone who was trained and then spent their lives researching or working on global enviornmental issues.

DUH? Why in Gawd's name do you think I should have any proof of stuff I know nothing about?? Don't you get it yet?? :1orglaugh


OR.. Should I cut and paste some clippet of any old crap off the net to prove something one way or other??

we will all going to die
That is all!!!

You are an odd bird. You post about how resource depletion is going to negatively affect global climate, then say you know nothing about it.... :uhoh Do you have tea time everyday? Just curious. :1orglaugh

No.. there is a species called a bird, and last I heard I was not entitled to claim to be part of that species *lol* (See how much you can learn on GFY? Awesome eh? :winkwink: )

If you wish to have any sane discussion on resource depletion, (which btw does related to your topic of global warming/environmental issues and vice versa), I'll have a chat any day.

Sadly, tea time has passed - a custom that happens around 4pm :)

What environmental issues concern you so much that you feel a need to respond? :)

Let the intellects fight it out...


WHERE'S MY FUCKING WARM WEATHER?

Intellects?? On GFY? :winkwink: Hope they will fight it out - fat chance of it happening here :pimp

You just need to pack up for six months and move to a better climate MP - or permanently if you like it :thumbsup

Ooooh, I never expected that here :)

Didn't some teenager in MI achieve fusion?! I'm fucking cold here :(

Na.. he just consumed too many hamburgers at McDonalds as a test :1orglaugh

Where are you MP? Temp? Just checked it's about 70-76 here, depending on which part of the country (Costa Rica) and it's "summer" now, tho you'd not notice much if it was winter - the temperature is always much the same, but maybe more warm rain in "winter".

having just returned from a week in northern Indiana, I don't think you have anything to worry about . . . .it is plenty cold there

I'm surprised you haven't even got any further than thinking about oil when thinking about resources
