I believe in global warming. We are recovering from the last ice age; ofcourse it is warmer!
Be careful what you ask for, another ice age would be worse. It is tough to get traction when you are under a mile thick ice sheet.

In my little southern corner of Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay we typically get less snow than say DC. But I see about a foot of snow on my driveway right now.

I love the cost savings in running E85 in my race car. The use of renewable fuel (ethanol), and less imported petroleum are side benefits.

The law makers need to allow all that sugar cane swamp (I mean land) to be used to make ethanol. I don't care what happens to the aligators and snakes.

Or maybe you are close enough to get that hydros ethanol they use in Brazil... and law makers...

Carbon dioxide is not the main greenhouse gas that we have to worry about; water vapor is. But the environmentalists and the politicians can't do anything about it since it occurs naturally from evaporation, so they tell us that carbon dioxide is the problem. Keep in mind, that if we didn't have the small natural greenhouse effect that the water vapor gives us, the temperature on the Earth would be like that on Mars, where a warm day would be zero degrees!

Of all the Carbon Dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, 51 percent is from plants and trees, 45 percent from the oceans, and only three percent from the burning of fossil fuels!

Surprisingly, this much maligned "Greenhouse Gas" accounts for only 0.035 percent of our atmosphere. The real problem 'Greenhouse Gas" again, is actually water vapor, which accounts for about two percent of our atmosphere. However, it occurs naturally in our atmosphere, due to ocean and water evaporation, and since the global warming folks can't stop it, they ignore it and pick on the Carbon Dioxide instead. According to scientists with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, "Water Vapor is the predominant greenhouse gas, and plays a crucial role in the global climate system".

The whole thing in a nutshell, is that the Earth's environment and it's climate are very complex, and to really understand what is happening, we must weed out the political, environmental, and media propaganda, and examine the facts. It is very hard to solve a problem, when one does not exist, and as far as global warming and human cause goes, there is no problem to be found, therefore there is none to solve.

Climate change is real" is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish.

Here are the basic facts you need to know: Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab. The climate of this planet has been changing since God put the planet here. It will always change, and the warming in the last 10 years is not much difference than the warming we saw in the 1930s and other decades. And, lets not forget we are at the end of the ice age in which ice covered most of North America and Northern Europe."

Al Gore is playing on our fears!!!

thats funny
it says you have to leave the political crap out but t the end you throw in Al Gore

so we had an iceage the ice melted so that was a global warming correct. and I can promise you there where no cars/industries at that time.

Just wait until some of those folks over in the general section read this thread.

Humm... climate change ,I think it gets too hot in summer and too cold in winter, for all the tax bux we pay, I think they should keep it at 70 all the time, What are we paying those clowns for anyway

I can't beleive that some scientest,men or women, don't bring up sun spot activity when looking at the earths weather changes. I remember reading that the sun has had one of the largest and longest sun spot activity periods stop two years ago and that activity had been (was) causing the increase in global warming. I also heard that one of the goverment agency, NOA, has been monitoring the oceans temperature from sensors and they have been dropping(cooling) since the mid 1990s I'm sure there is contradictory information denying these as well as all non man made reasons causing global climate change The Chinese are getting wealthy and there growing more hogs,chickens and beef to eat, its all that animal flatulence (as all ready pinted out)that is causing all the green house gasses See you guys in Las Vegas at the MATS race, hopefully

being from a high dairy export country our govt was going to introduce a FART tax(govt terminology) if you had over a certain amount of cattle on your farm. you can imagine the uproar the farmers had over that one.

The earth is estimated to be 4.54 Billion years old. The longest continuous temperature record was started in England during the 1850's, although there were records found in the 1600's of climate history, but it was too inaccurate to be useful. So that means we've been tracking the earths weather for .000000035% of its exsistence. To break that down into something thats easy to comprehend, if a 4 year college graduate studied their subject for as long as the weather has been tracked on earth, it means they would have sat in a classroom for .0000511 seconds. So which one of you would hire that guy to run your business? And some of you still believe the bull that is being fed to us by our 'great leaders.'

What does it all mean

i forget what had more effect the cows or the methane ice melting from the underwater valcano's.
