This is the last 2,000 years of climate change, in graph form. Looking at tree rings, science has put together this long range graph of the earth's temperature. The data, in fact, show that for the last 2,000 years we have been in a cooling trend.

the only thing man made is the industry built around exploiting the man made guilt in the first world. Ah, global warming is the cash cow of the modern snake oil salesman.

I think that regardless if its true or not, is it really such a bad thing to curb pollution and save some trees? Why is that something people want to fight against tooth and nail?

Americans are getting more green every year. I am against more and more government regulations and taxes to curb something that may or not help.

How are you actually speaking against this? :huh:
Do you take your trash out?... or do you instead let it build up inside your home where it can rot into a polluted, toxic, mess?
Let me ask you, if you were stuck inside your home for 2 years with no ventilation and no access to medical, would you care less about having plants in it? Would you use aerosol cans and excessive chemicals? Would your stockpile of supplies & necessities be of things that aren't degradable? Would your stockpile be of materials that, when burned, release carcinogenic chemicals and toxic elements like mercury into the air and water that you in turn breathe and ingest? Knowing that you'd have no access to a doctor or hospital, would your store up food that consists of fish heavy in mercury or fruits & veggies loaded in toxic pesticides?
WOW, just wow. Your idea to rebel "going green" b/c it's your way of sticking it to "government regulations and taxes" is just.... wow. Perhaps you already have been stuck in an unventilated house for 2 years. No offense but that's how it comes across. -
Well, it's two different aspects:
1) Americans are getting greener every year (at least in the cites) and hopefully that impacts world energy consumption/demand for fossil fuels. very important since we use way-out-of-proportion of world's energy
2) Pollution is getting worse. mostly due to the asian countries that are booming. I think that compensates for #1.
one thing to think about though. We are getting greener because we are outsourcing much of the manufacturing to the asian countries. so it's kind of a transfer of pollution. just have to hope that China starts implementing greener methods someday.ToddPhin likes this. -
I have no clue what I am talking about?? Have you looked at the chart. There is nothing to prove!!! There is nothing to wait 50 years for. It is plain as day my friend, but you are choosing to ignore the facts. Global warming conspiracy nuts claim because the temperature has risen 1/2 of 1 degree, that the globe is warming and that man is responsable.
B U L L S H I T
If you take the time to look at the data over 2000 years, not 100 you would already know that the temperature has risen and fallen that plus some several times and man didn't have anything to do with it!!!!
