Global Warming, the real deal, or propaganda? Options

[jackie13xo]

end of story.

Crap, the debate forum really needs to be modded better.

But just because you went to a $30,000 a year school doesnt mean you werent told any lies. There are college professors just as qualified as yours who hold exact opposite views. You can never believe everything a person tells you, no matter who they are. But that goes both ways.

[xKatt]

^ Yup. There's very qualified and supported scientists on both sides of the debate.

Global warming is true, but people dont have that much effect of it.

One volcano exploding causes more pollution than man kind has ever made.
I dont think cutting down on our pollution will do that much good.
Its like doing one sit-up a day to loose 20 pounds.

yeah people always say this and my response is who cares, i don't get it i guess, maybe i'm looking at it different than u mean it. we shouldn't worry about our effect because that causes more pollution. to me it's like saying, we killed 2 people but that person over there killed 30, so our two aren't important.

i still think our two are important

Have you read through the thread?

[RAWRstephishere]

Have you read through the thread?

I didnt read through all of it.

Thats just my opinion.

Monotony doesn't help arguments.

[jesusisthebestth...]

the way i see it, even if global warming is a big hoax it's a good idea for us all to stop polluting the environment and take the necessary precautions to save the environment for fresh air, at least

[VaeVictis]

I am yet to hear a convincing argument as to why Global Warming ISN'T fact.

I'm sure you all know the principles involved, so I won't go into them, but I do believe in global warming.

And yes, I have seen An Inconvenient Truth. Was quite an interesting watch, by the way.

Have YOU read the thread? We've been over plenty of very good reasons why it's not a big deal, and how it's happening. There have been arguments for both sides, both good arguments.

[Smarmosaur]

i do beleive it exists, but I really really really don't think we have to even BEGIN to worry about it for the next...eh...couple billion years? people are making too big of a deal about it. i think it's good that we are aware of it, but for the love of pickles, don't worry so much! pollution is one thing, global warming is another. two side of the scale.

[*Steven*]

Morbidangel, have you taken notice to the topic that's pinned w/ the name "Notice!"?

If you are going to participate in a Debate which has already been going on for quite a few pages, you must read at least the last page or so to get an idea of what's already been discussed and covered. When one posts something that has already been covered, it only halts the debate because those who are well-engrossed in the topic have to stop and explain. So pleeeease don't do it. If it becomes a continuous thing, you will receive a verbal warning and go on from there.

Please go through the posts on this page before you respond to the original post. You've been doing that in a number of debate topics. Consider this your verbal warning, if it continues you'll receive a warning. I'll be sending you a PM momentarily.

I believe Global Warming is REAL, cuz i for one felt it on my skin this summer... and last year we barely had snow on Xmas and on the New Year there was no snow at all... which never happen untill now, we had snow untill february and so... in fact if i remember well last year i was wearing Shorts at New Year's party rofl.

Here you can see how Winter was before Global Warming...

Temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celcius have plagued much of south-eastern Europe, from Croatia to Bulgaria. According to press reports, several elderly people have died of heat-related complications. The Romanian Health Ministry reported 19 such deaths.

"The same thing can happen as a result of sea-level rise. Bangladesh is having terrible problems in this area. It has a population of about 120 million in an area the size of Wisconsin, and there is already border tension between Bangladesh and India. A significant chunk of Bangladesh is projected to go underwater in the next 100 years. Where are those people going to go? There's no room left."

Well if we're going to bring personal experiences into it, how come the Texas weather is a few degrees cooler and a few years ago we had 8 inches of snow on Christmas. Must be global warming.

[Smarmosaur]

^^ LOL we say that ALLLL the time here.
"must be global warming"
back on track...
i don't think any weather patterns and temperature changes have to do with global warming...the patterns are never going to be the least bit same. ever. i don't think we should bring personal experiences into this. it just doesn't fit.

You cant really compare one year with the next... global warming isnt dramatically changing our climate from year to year. Our earth is millions of years old - our climate isnt going to shift that fast.

[*Steven*]

Actually billions, but yeah, you can't base global warming on changes over the span of a few years. Decades, maybe. Even then it's part of a natural cycle, but all of this has already been discussed and is kinda redundant x.x

You're so like wrong about all this, you just have to live somewhere to know what exactly is changing or not, saying it isn't so its just plain stupid.

there isn't a wrong or right on this subject...
just a personal view of what is right and wrong
have u even read any of this thread to know what kimmytree's opinion is?
i wouldn't say she is "so like wrong about all this" when shes expressed views two pages ago that she thinks global warming is possibly happening and if nothing else we should take precautions, better safe then sorry.

going off personal experience alone doesn't convince anyone, we aren't in ur country to "feel" global warming. i agree that we can't compare one year with the next. just because there was snow on Christmas last year and not this year isn't evidence of global warming.

^OMG look guys global warming is real! I found it on the internets!

[arghrawr]

I've gotta say, I watched The Inconvienient Truth and it seems like propaganda to me. After reading through this whole thread, I could care less if people think global warming is real or not. Isn't the fact that we're polluting our earth enough to motivate us to try and clean up our act? Global warming or not, we should be trying to live lifestyles that are healthier and more beneficial for the earth and ourselves. I get kind of disgusted when I hear people say they wouldn't be willing to change their lifestyles. It's like a druggie refusing to clean up his/her act to me. The earth needs to detox.

I'll agree with this.

I'll agree with this to. We need to clean up the earth. Whether global warming exists or not

Very well said, I totally agree (with the bolded statements). I know I'm not really contributing by posting this, but you've said it all.
