Global warming???

[Jenae LaTorque]

Perhaps it is like in some of the Sci-Fi literature. Maybe our planet, and I use the term "our" loosely, is sentinent to an extent. Maybe someday, if she feels threatened by us humans, she will just shrug us off, so to speak. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions galore!

Yup, maybe "the music of the spheres" is various celestial bodies complaining about what those damn fleas are up to now.

Hey babe, it's already happening. fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunami's, record breaking cold weather, a massive early storm in California.
What we have been doing is poking mother nature with sticks and she is getting fed up.

I can't say I'm impressed by any of the Pro-Gobal-warming brigade.

Much has already been said in this thread debunking the so-called ' evidence '

• Volcanic Activity
  One eruption produces massive amounts of CO2 and SO2 gases together with miscellaneous complex gaseous and residual hydrocarbons
• Pathetically short periods of recorded climatological data

Whe the major planetary cycles can be as long as 1500 years ( ask the Mayas )

1. CO2 ? Try SO2 for a real Planet-killer !

Anybody fancy living on an ageing version of Venus ?

Yes. Pollution by excess production of Chemicals ( atmospheric or otherwise ) IS a Planet-killer in the Long Term, maybe even in a geologically-short time-span. So is Over-population, Over-grazing. Soil-nutrient Depletion,
Man-made Soil Erosion, Over-harvesting - the list of mankind's follies goes on and on.

But for my two main Horses of the Apocalypse I would choose Over-population and Greed ( with its ever-attendant Wars )

No. our only hope is to be invaded by superior benevolent beings from another Galaxy ( Ours won't do as we'll have infested is with population by then )

Meanwhile, let's all have non-productive Sex and wait for the invasion. . . .

No use waiting for rescue - Prime Directive remember? The Galactic council already have obtained enough people, animals, plants, etc for seed stock on a new planet and most likely won't bother obtaining any more, so that hope is out also. It's pretty much up to us to get ourselves out of any jam we get into.
As far as the global warming issue goes; I think there are a lot of coastal areas that need a good wash anyway.

Randolph! So maybe you had best heed those warnings ( omens, portents, signs, etc) and get the hell out of Kookyfornia before it slides into the Pacific.

No way! I am expecting to have waterfront property!

Man-made G.W. is a religion. There is no SOLID proof of man causing any global warming trends. The earth is far too big of a place to be altered by anything man could produce, baring a nuclear war. Those who believe that man is causing some kind of climate change are too self-loathing of man-kind to pull their heads out of their asses. Why is it that the only time the activist come out of the woodwork is on hot days? They only see the light of day when it suits their personal agenda. I didn't see or hear ONE TRACE of any of them when it was snowing in Malibu a few years ago!

Do you really think that this people did?
bullcrap - it is normal to nature - changing climate...
GW - fucking propaganda.
Turn into history, Ice age, Warm, Ice age, Warm.
So kick your TV.

that's the key word,,,, serious and global in scope temp monitoring is at best 50 yrs old. I'm not a rocket scientist,,, but near certain no global ANYTHING changes in that small a time frame. Also and this I find near hiliarious,,,, back in the 70's the 'global threat' was global COOLING. Tons of psuedo science 'data' which supposedly proof positive of that being fact.
oh and btw Algore holds a degree in Theology. I doubt he can even spell 'science',,, lol

Of course humans can alter the earth (and we're just talking about the crust here really). Don't be naive. How much we're altering it is debatable, but make no mistake, we're having some kind of effect.
