Global Warming

[Anonymouse]

I do strongly suspect that the US will get hit with more catastrophic hurricanes this year (the storms that reach the East coast won’t be nearly as strong as the gulf storms—due to human-caused global warming). (If Houston gets hit major oil production would be quickly altered.)

[Edit: The major damage from Katrina was not done by nature. The damage was from environmental racism/classism (and I was screaming at the Bush administration before anyone even mentioned that on news. I was VERY loudly telling FEMA to get people out and the Corp of Engineers in...Meanwhile, the ADMINISTRATION KNEW DAMN WELL that the levies (that they cut funding for) would likely go unless they acted immediately... Kanye spoke truth, in my opinion. Nature wasn't really to blame. But more rant on that somewhere later.]

Global warming is junk science. It's typical of the leftists to try to have some blame for why we need more government and more regulation.

This a very misinformed and simplistic opinion, IM"H"O

after midnight, birds have been suddenly chirping here. You know how they chirp and sing in the early morning?

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane. Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Yeah, those bleeding-heart LIBERALS.

How is global warming junk science?
Elaborate.

"I'm gettin' tired of that shyt. I'm tired of phuckin' earth day. I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalist, white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren't enough bike paths. Tryin' to make the world safe for their repulsive Volvos.

Besides, environmentalists don't give a shyt about the planet anyway. Not really. Not in the abstract. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. That's all. They're worried that sometime in the future they might personally be inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.

And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are phucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years. Did you ever think about that? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. And we've been here for what? A hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred versus 4.5 billion! And we have the nerve, the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're going to put this beautiful little blue-green ball in jeopardy?

Believe me, this planet has put up with much worse than us. It's been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, pole reversals, planetary floods, worldwide fires, tidal waves, wind and water erosion, cosmic rays, ice ages and hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets, asteroids, and meteors. And people think a few plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference?" ---George Carlin

The song playing on Little Steven's show (see God Father and Mother) http://forum.armenianclub.com/showth...954#post149954 makes sense.

"Worldwide Suicide" by Pearl Jam wouldn't be just metaphor (and a song about war) without 'environmentalists.' Thankfully, most people do care about the planet! Again, happy Earth Day.

I think the 'planet' loves humanity (even though some, mostly in the industrial world, act like __________'s) I don't think the planet would 'be fine' without people (or chimps, whales, dolphins, tigers, jaguars, wolves, elephants, orchids... )

per Carlin "Believe me, this planet has put up with much worse than us...It's been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, solar flares...And people think a few plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference?"

If your goal is the extinction of humanity, this is the logic to follow. But don't be surprise if GOD and EARTH don't agree with you. Fortunately, Carlin is a master of sarcasm. Sometimes advocating the absurd makes the reasonable choice obvious.

If everyone took that seriously and acted on ... well the song playing on Little Steven's show (see God Father and Mother) http://forum.armenianclub.com/showth...954#post149954

"Worldwide Suicide" by Pearl Jam wouldn't be just metaphor (and a song about war). Thankfully, most people don't think like this!

I'm sorry, once again I don't follow what you're point is.

Global warming is real.

I think anonymouse is trying too hard to be a "rebel".

Whatever floats his boat...

No, it actually isn't. Do some research. I don't think you'll find a peer-reviewed publication that draws that conclusion.
It's natural to have cooler or warmer trends over time. It's not abnormally warm. We're talking a couple degrees here.


Other BS is about the ice melting. Yes, the polar caps have melted a little, but overall there has not been a loss of ice because there have been increases elsewhere.

More garbage still is the idea that our use of paper is killing the rainforest or any forest for that matter. What's been destroyed has been for development, not paper. Trees are planted to be cut down for paper.

The popularity of a belief does not say anything about its veracity. [insert ridulously large number here] people can be wrong.
