To hell with Gore. Never saw the movie and don't care to. Gore is
trying to sensationalize it and goad people into action. He is only
for the converted. He is NOT a source authoritative info.

Still, my take on this is that serious researchers converge on there
being significant global warming. The conversation has moved from "if"
to "how sever."

I have been following this topic on another site for some time. There
has been a LOT of rancor over whether or not GW is happening. For what
it is worth I have been convinced that it is an issue of concern.

Take a look at the sites I listed above. They are mainstream
government
programs.

The Earth has been warming for the last 12,000 years, give or take. Had
it not been, we wouldn't be here but the skiing would be fantastic.

The only constant in the Earth's climate is change. Always has been,
always will be.



Big difference between normal trends and those that have taken place
since the Industrial Rev. era. The science is pretty conclusive at this
point that we've got a serious problem. It's not just about warming.
There has and will continue to be much larger fluctuations in conditions,
among other things.

Ya, but when you plug the last hundred years into the trendline for the
past several thousand years, it hardly makes a blip.


No doubt. It's those blips that'll kill ya in the short term (less than 1000
years). We can do something about it if we have the political will.

I went through Jr. High and High School during the 70's. It was then the
"scientific concensus" that the Earth was experiencing global cooling,
caused by -- wait for it -- human activity. The one thing that I have
learned over the years is that we don't know half of what we think we do,
and what we do know, even if true in the short-term, may well turn out to be
false in the long run. I've been watching some tinkerers on television
creating "solutions" to "global warming," such as launching millions of
mirrors into space to partially block the sun. These people scare the
bejeesus out of me. More likely than not, if they ever succeed in getting
their half-baked ideas off the ground, is that they'll usher-in another ice
age thousands of years before it would have happened naturally.

I went to a few, in different states. They were all teaching the same thing.
Bang goes that theory, eh?

A couple of geography teachers do not make a "scientific concensus"

That's one serious case of denial you've got there. You might want to look
for an ointment.

Time Magazine. Read the article. Get educated.

Same stupid unfounded hysteria - only about the coming, man-caused ice age.

How come, Wilbur? How come the pro-global warmers have no comments about
this? A liberal magazine like Time? Should be their Bible. It is NOW that
Time's on their side? Why do they ignore it when it's not on their side?
Who's going to take them seriously THIS time?
Other dimbulb people?

Cheers,
Gwen Ives
