  it's sad that this issue isn't taken seriously by my government (the US gov).

  Don't get me wrong I'm not arguing that steps should be taken to reduce the amount of emissions around the world but global warming is no where near as big a deal as people make it out to be.  A good deal of this is just the natural cycles of the earth.  It's the way our world functions.  One day the polar ice-caps with disappear and one day they will be bigger than they are right now and neither will end the world.

  i think it's dangerous to dismiss the drastic changes in the atmosphere caused by industrialization. The fact that things change naturally is not an argument that our pollution isn't a big deal and won't have very bad effects.

  something must be done,

  We will be judged by our own actions and the court will be the savage garden.

  Like I said I'm not against taking steps, and I don't dismiss that we are contributing.  The real question is do we contribute a measley 1% that really makes no difference over all of are we a bigger percentage 10% would be a bout the minimum that I would be willing to get my panties in a knot over.  Right now I agree steps need to be taken, I'm just tired of hearing doom and gloom without any kind of understanding of how much of this is natural.

  it seems the the vast majority of scientists feel it is a very serious and real problem.

  Here is a pretty good page for more info.

  At the current rate of global warming (which is only exponentially increasing as we add more destructive humans to the planet), people will either die or move inland, we'll lose valuable natural resources, and use up the ones on still-available land far more quickly than you can imagine. We're not slated to be a species on this planet much longer.

• bloc said on Oct 30, 2006....

  i don't think global warming will eradicate the whole species!

  See bloc, most of the time when I'm saying something about people on "your" side of a conflict I don't so much mean you as the ten thousand who follow behind you.

• bloc said on Oct 30, 2006....

  I understand. I felt you were being dismissive of the issue because some of it's proponents are nutty. All issues have nutty proponents :)
  
  Here's an interesting tidbit.
  "In its 2001 assessment, the IPCC strengthened that conclusion considerably, saying, "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."" source

  I don't dismiss the idea, besides I'm more than willing to take measures to clean up the act merely to make the air better quality and not have brown clouds.  I just can't get plast all of the people who think that this is going to kill us all or that Waterworld was in anyway based on fact.

  bloc, thank you for the LINK for more info on global warming.
  SR, the cycle from global cooling to global warming ahould have been at a very slow rate and droughts, hurricanes, typhoons,floods and soil erosions are not massive and devastating to what we are experiencing now if humankind did not interfere to the cycle of nature?  

• SeanRenaud said on Oct 31, 2006....

  I've never questioned wether or not we are interfering.  I'm questioning if it is really as negative as all that one.  And two if the world won't naturally self-correct albeit faster but will the enviroment self correct.

  At the rate we are destructively interfering with the environment, the next ice age may arrive sooner, not later.
