BUMP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE ARGUING
IS THERE ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS MAN MADE?

Theoretically, global warming is man-made because it is due to human activities that global warming is happening in the first place. Our factories and vehicles which emit exhaust into the atmosphere has created that extra layer of greenhouse gasses which simply added on to the exisiting layer of greenhouse gasses, resulting in even more energy from the sun being trapped ultimately leading to global warming.

Wrong.

Sorry Jedi Master, teach me your ways.

lmao, actually, it is.

Hmm, kay.

Do you realize that the Earth has been considerably warmer in the past? I'm talking about the medieval times. Wait, let's go back further. Remember when the Chinese were first exploring the earth? Did you know they sailed through the northern passage? The very same northern passage that is covered in ice today. We can't sail through without sending in ice breakers, and I sure as hell can guarantee that the ancient Chinese didn't have the current ice breakers that we have in our Navy.

You know the Senate, right? Well they recently released a bunch of papers basically saying that everything that they had said about global warming in the past was a crock of shit, as they had overlooked and not listened to many many prominent meteorologists, and instead had listened to scientists with very skewed information. Many of these scientists that had said it's our fault for global warming are taking back what they said as they did not have sufficient evidence, and they were making things up. All of this is cited, I can find these papers later if you want.

Do you have any citations that are credible that say it's a man-made problem? If so, I'd love to see and then respond with even more credible sources.

Do you know how long they have been able to record temperatures? About 100 years. Clearly long enough to know that the Earth has exponentially heated up, and it's clearly caused by the Human race. The earth is 6.5 Billion years old.

Do you know where they place the thermometers they use? Weather channel stations. Do you know where these stations are? In the middles of big cities. Big cities are going to be warmer than in the middle of nowhere. Clearly the earth is covered by big cities and it's incredibly representative of the entire earth.

Do you know how accurate the thermometers they use are? Within a couple of degrees. That means they're not precise. Do you know how much the earth has "warmed" up by? A couple of degrees. It's a good thing those thermometers are precise.

What's wrong, what he said?

Nigggas we all gon die.
Da earf is gettin warma.


But seriously, last year I did a powerpoint on it and I said it was real, but inevitable.
And everyone was on my nuts for it.

Truth.

I'm not arguing that the earth isn't getting warmer, rather that the doomsday ideals behind it are stupid. It's not caused by humans, either. Recently, a report was put out by some scientist (I'll find it later) saying that the earth may actually be cooling, now.

Oh, I definately know that theres Global warming going around in this world. I thought you were going to ask if it was man made or not. Well, I always thought that its a natural process of the Earth. Overheating to clean out the planet and then life continuing afterwards. I'm not saying that we're the reason why the Earth is dying but we are contributing to its death.

Who's to say it's dying?

Dang I got testy in this thread.

It's definitely a man made theory.

I dont know where i stand with global warming

I always think the media or the news is just trying to scare us thats why its there... so we sit at home and watch whats going on in society and go into a panic...

but I dont see enough stuff on global warming on the news... I rarely watch the news but when I do I dont see anything about it...

I think that the world goes through it stages of dramatic weather changes... such as ices ages or whatever... so if this is happening I think its only natural

only post you need to read in this thread

Global warming is real buttt it scientifically it will not effect us for like 2,000 years and by then the world will be eaten by the sun. So i shall not worry about it. Of coarse its going to get a couple degrees higher each year because the earth is moving toward the sun a little bit more each year, but the temp. approx every 7 years declines or get higher and as of right now we are in the decline. Thats what i think.

al gore says it's true, and he invented the internet so you know it's the real bees kneez

I really don't think that global warming has much to do with human activity on the earth.

Global warming is real.
However, I strongly disagree with the way it's being campaigned. The media is making it seem like this sudden change happened within a year or 2 when really, it's slowly been building itself up for many, many years.
The "Go-Green" thing is a recent trend and the whole thing seems to be exaggerated.
Yes, the earth is heating up and could lead to truly catastrophic events.
No, our generation will not live to see that day and I doubt our grand children or even several generations after that will.
But yes, we should do something about it.. I just don't think "scaring" people into it by exaggerating things is an honest method.

to me,
global warming is not existing.
its just a big word, that is overly used,&it expands the actually meaning.
i think its ALL propaganda.
yeah, sure the worlds a little polluted&'warm'
but why exxageratee it soo much? eh. haha

Are you kidding? Global Warming is very real. If we didn't have global warming, then the planet would be too cold to survive on.

"For lack of a better word?" Just use a different word. You believe that someone who disagrees with you on global warming is brainwashed and I bet you think people who disagree with you on anything are brainwashed. Just because someone has a differing opinion from you does not mean they are "brainwashed" or even "ignorant" (which I bet you use that word too) so just don't use that word because it just shows your "stupidity."

Oh and to reply to the actual question: if or if not global warming is happening, I could care less.

this is called a debate thread for a reason.
frankly, if you don't believe at least that global warming is happening, you're either stupid as f*ck, brainwashed to shit, or ignorant as hell.

I usually disagree with Nate, but this isn't even an issue that's debatable. It's like saying that I don't believe there's salt in the ocean. It's been proven. The exact cause is what's debatable.

Oh shut it.

lol

you shouldn't be in the debate forum if all you're going to say to defend your posts is "everyone can have their own opinion" lalala. Just my opinion!

itt professional debate

f*ck this global warming shit, I'm getting global cooling. WE GOT f*ckING SNOW IN THE FIRST f*ckING WEEK OF f*ckING OCTOBER.

It's pretty much...total bullshit.

I didn't have an opinion and I said that. I was replying to someone, which had nothing to do with the debate.

this person is joking, right?

Not enough ozone exposure

The "total bullshit" line was referring to how crappy it is that we got snow so early. Snow doesn't come for another month. Getting it so early is CRAAAP.

^ f*ck, I'm not getting any snow yet it's cold as f*ck to have snow. >:[


esp. in the damn mornings, that's when it gets really shitty.

^ If it makes you feel any better, it's now pouring rain.

/headdesk

i wear shorts and a t shirt when i go outside. if i wear jeans ill sweat

It's 49 degrees here and people are still wearing shorts. If you don't like the weather you can always move... hopefully I will soon.

Man that's nothin', I've walked to school in shorts when it was snowing lulz. Idk what people in shorts at 49F has to do with moving, though. Too hot for you?

I LOVE GLOBAL WARMING, IT MAKES MY MARSHMALLOWZ TASTE GOOD WITH MY HUT COCOA. :D

hottest year in the last 15 years is 1998, so there must be something wrong with the "global warming pattern"

What was the coldest year? O_o


I hope I get to see the Earth someday reach 0 Kelvin.

You be dead bah then, beetch.

Want 0 K? I bet former-planet Pluto gets there in the off season. See you in a few years when you get back from thar. :D

what the f*ck are you two even talking about? stop being off-topic.

DID YOU NOT TAKE BIOLOGY / CHEMISTRY?! 0 Kelvin is an absolute lack of heat. Aka, absolute zero.

And you know... 0K will come some day after this global warming shit. And possibly after the sun has imploded.

.. yeah, i know what kelvin is. but what does absolute zero have to do with global warming? what does that have to do with if global warming is real or a propaganda or whatever else.

0 kelvins. (Sorry, pet peeve of mine is when people refer to the unit kelvin incorrectly. At least you didn't say "°K", though.)

Pet peeve of mine, don't say we can get as cold a zero kelvins.

Pet peeve of mine, when people snap at you real quick for saying something at least related somewhat to a topic but then laugh if someone else does the same thing or if that someone else is actually completely irrelevant.

^ Agreed.
