How I feel about snow

[C4IGrant]

There is no question the earth is in the process of heating up. The Scientific community is in complete agreement on this. What is still not 100% sure is the main causes for this. No doubt humanity contributed to this, but how much is still not answered. Governments claims that we are the main cause is in no way substantiated.

That being said, I thought the poster was Damn funny.

That's a negative.

The earth has been cooling for at least the 11 years.

True. It's a really rough accusation considering what little evidence we can procure.


When I said the photo was a bad argument, I was right in the sense that it is a bad argument. It's like claiming global warming is true because it's hot out. I hope you can see the extremism of it; a fallacy of sorts. I'm a bit more analytical about things than most so I really couldn't find it funny since I tend to use logic and reason before reacting.

First ALGORE stated that everything was getting warmer. Then when he realized that the Earth has actually be cooling (and many scientists are worried about another ice age), he changed it to "Global Climate Change." Basically stating that man is causing the Erratic shifts in temps.

I am sure when we go through a couple years of things heating up, ALGORE will go back to the "global warming" thing.

Info on the ice core drilling? That sounds pretty cool.



I hope none of you are getting the impression that I'm some sort of 'liberal'. It doesn't matter what 'side' you're on to realize that it was just a bad argument. If I made one with polar bears collapsed from heat exhaustion in the polar regions with a caption dispelling the claims that global warming was a hoax, none of you would find it funny. Jokes are all about appealing to your audience and for this one I didn't find it funny because I can't say I have a definite opinion on the matter anyways. Fox News or MSNBC, I don't want to believe what either of them claim about it. Statistics are very easy to manipulate for any favor. With scientists taking both sides you can't really prove any of this easily at all. Personally I hate talking about it.


so have a cheeseburger and a coke and relax, guy


and we've got a lot of snow coming on christmas day here in kc. cant wait. moved firewood and put out some more hay for the horses this evening in anticipation.

The ironic part is, there was no intent for the poster to cause an argument to begin with. It's like going to a steak house and complaining there's no Tofu. You are right about jokes appealing to the crowd and I'd guess that the OP was spot on with his audience, save one.

I also find it ironic that in a recent article, they'd published that polar bear breeding is UP. Imagine that, poor polar bears are so exhausted and hungry that the only energy they can muster is for sex.

It's funny overall. Humans are so ignorant of their impact. AlGore and his ilk are spewing this crap in hopes to "save the earth". I've got news for him, the earth doesn't care one iota if we're here or not. It got along just fine without us for hundreds of thousands of years, it'll get along just fine when we are gone. AlGore isn't spouting this crap because of his concern for the earth, he's doing it to make money off of peoples fears. There were dominant species on this planet before us, and there will be dominant species here after we are gone and turned to dust. Humans will have their time, and that will be determined by our ability to adapt, not increasing mpg by 2% or by culling China to a few less metric tons of waste per day. Do we need to be good stewards of the ship we're on? You bet, but falsifying data in order to do it isn't the answer. Our (perceived) mastery of technology hasn't conjured up a solution (or the stolen data tapes, sorry for the Star Wars reference, it just jumped in there) because it's not profitable, not because they can't do it. There's just no money in it yet, once there is, solutions will pop out of the woodwork.

Carlos,

In the spirit of greenhouse gas emissions ...

I break wind in your general direction.

I take offense to that. I think it is an inaccurate and poor argument for Green Gas Emissions.

Have a Merry Christmas, Ben!!

This isn't the graph I was looking for, but it's to late and I'm headed for bed now.

If you look at the whole picture, you will see that we are normal right now and not at any "Hockey Stick Al Gore BS". He did not show the whole picture, just the very short past. This planet can and will take care of itself. After all, for those who believe, Who created it?

Periods of Earth warming and cooling occur in cycles. This is well understood, as is the fact that small-scale cycles of about 40 years exist within larger-scale cycles of 400 years, which in turn exist inside still larger scale cycles of 20,000 years, and so on.

Example of regional variations in surface air temperature for the last 1000 years, estimated from a variety of sources, including temperature-sensitive tree growth indices and written records of various kinds, largely from western Europe and eastern North America. Shown are changes in regional temperature in ° C, from the baseline value for 1900. Compiled by R. S. Bradley and J. A. Eddy based on J. T.

Earth's climate was in a cool period from A.D. 1400 to about A.D. 1860, dubbed the "Little Ice Age." This period was characterized by harsh winters, shorter growing seasons, and a drier climate. The decline in global temperatures was a modest 1/2° C, but the effects of this global cooling cycle were more pronounced in the higher latitudes. The Little Ice Age has been blamed for a host of human suffering including crop failures like the "Irish Potato Famine" and the demise of the medieval Viking colonies in Greenland.

Today we enjoy global temperatures which have warmed back to levels of the so called "Medieval Warm Period," which existed from approximately A.D. 1000 to A.D. 1350.

You too, my friend! (and stay safe).

Right you are. God created us (and all the animals). We breath out CO2. Does anyone REALLY think that God would allow us to kill ourselves with what we exhale???

Yes.

Oxygen harms us too.
