Save the Globe Stay off MyLot

Please keep believing that you actually can stop the Global Warming. If you believe that us human that have only been on this Earth for a fraction of the time that this planet has had live on it can some how control the temperature, you must think you are a "God". How arrogant you are to think that you are doing the world some good because you ride public transportation, and recycling. What are you going to say when the Earth starts cooling again? One volcano puts out more CO2 than all of the cars on the Earth, what should we do about them? When there was global warming before human had cars, what created global warming? Why do not climatologist, how actually study climates, believe that the Earth is warming.

That I can stop Global Warming? Of course I can't. If everyone used that type of simplistic reasoning, we'd be getting nowhere. Can I "control" temperature? Once again, of course not. Can I take part in reducing the effects of Global Warming? In a way, yes. My contribution may be of 0,00001% but it's still there and I'm happy to participate in any way I can. Now, it's actually quite funny you bring out the volcano statement. It seems to be quite a motivation for those who just don't want to do anything about Global Warming, or joyfully refuse the evidence. Unfortunately, that very assertion is debatable. I actually found someone on Yahoo Answers who gave an interesting response about this; [i]http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/2007/07_02_15.html "Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1991). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 27 billion tonnes per year (30 billion tons) [ ( Marland, et al., 2006) - The reference gives the amount of released carbon (C), rather than CO2, through 2003.]. Human activities release more than 130 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of more than 8,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 3.3 million tonnes/year)! (Gerlach et. al., 2002)" http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/volgas.html[/i] As for climatologists not believing in Global Warming, wouldn't that percentage of climatologists lie below the 10% bar? Find me a reliable statistics site which can show me a majority of certified climatologists refute Global Warming and I'll be amazed. I just find it shocking that people can still question it's happening when climatologists, people with waaaay more knowledge on the subject than us, have reviewed the situation over and over again and can easily state that it's happening and human activity does play a major part in it. It seems those who don't believe in it either fear it or don't have reasonable knowledge on the subject. Well, those are my two cents there. Hope I made my points clear. PS: Would I be correct if I assumed you negative rated me for my response? :P

Whoops my bad, I made the italics tag go a bit too far. The part after the second link is all me. ;)

Watch out, you're bound to have a horde of Bushites (that is what they're called, right?) coming your way to bash you for being "too liberal." Or heck, wait, a socialist! A Marxist! Or maybe one of those arrogant foreigners... (The above is a caricature of the type of behavior that has been directed at me during my stay on myLot. Just warning you before you take their insults too seriously.)

Global warming is a completely natural cycle. Even if humans are contributing, it is extremely minimal and has no effect on earth's temperature. Earth's climate is always changing, whether mankind is polluting or not. Let's look at the medieval warm period for example. Temperatures then were very high, even higher than they are now. Yet people prospered during this time. And guess what? Earth's temperature went back down again. Did you know that the media only recently abandoned their theory of global cooling? None of what Al Gore and the media says is truthful. Most of Antartica is actually getting colder. The environmentalists don't tell you about this though. Al Gore warns people of 20 ft sea level rises yet history has shown that earth's seas continually rise at a slow, steady rate. A little while ago the environmentalists produced a graph known as he hockey stick graph. The end of the graph represented the sharp rise in earth's temperature as man-made emissions rose. THis graph has been proven wrong time and time again. Another fault in environmentalist claims. Did you know that changes in the sun correlate more to earth's climate than carbon dioxide levels do? THe answer lies here: global warming is a natural process. Carbon dioxide cannot be causing global warming. In the 1900s when human emissions were rising, earth's temperature actually dropped. If warmings have occured in the past when humans weren't polluting, then how could they be caused by emmissions. Earth;s climate is always changing, whether mankind is there or not. So don't tell me to pollute less when humans aren't contributing to global warming.

John McCain is my candidate boy you do not know me. Maybe you need to do some research about me before your make a statment like that. Computer use more electricity than anything in your house. All of that electricity comes from something.

I'm no expert but from a quick look at a few conservation websites a computer uses the energy of a few light bulbs when in use. I would guess there are many appliances which are much worse, but to me if we follow the principle of basically not leaving things on when we don't use them then we are doing some good. I am sorry if you take offense to McCain. We have clashed a decent number of times here and based on that I assume you are voting Republican this election and he is the "presumptive nominee". You may not personally like him but isn't he your candidate this November? I even saw a commercial today with Pat Robertson (& Sharpton) talking about Global Warming. I agree people are making a big deal about possibly nothing. But then again, those polar ice caps are melting so what would it hurt for us to be more frugal? You actually save money doing it in many cases.
