    We've been down the climate change hole enough on these boards...

    ... they always seem to end the same way and whatever conspiracy theories people have will stay... and whatever resistance towards actual scientific documents will stay...

    it ain't worth it

        I believe certain politicians back the idea of global warming being an issue in order to appeal to people who feel the same way regardless to whether or not it's actually true. I don't think it's some grand conspiracy. We as humans tend to overreact because we forget how short our lifespans are in the grand scheme of Earth and the universe. Just because it has gotten warmer lately does not mean anything, and according to some we may be headed to a period of colder weather. The Earth's temperature fluctuates constantly and I say all this because I feel like the global warming alarmists are overreacting over what will end up being nothing at all.

        Doesn't hurt to look into it, but I don't think we need so much focus on it. Thankfully the issue has taken a backseat lately

        My original post was just supposed to be funny due to the fact that it's October and we saw up to 8 inches of snow in some places. Fucking Cleveland am I right?

          You both are pretty much broken records. I just tend to agree with you sometimes; There's the difference.

            He doesn't get it

            And yeah, I'm in AA but I heard schools were closed in the area and I was like holy shit, that's crazy

            I realize you were making a joke, but jokes like that are lost on a large portion of this board. Just saying

            I would think because our lifespans are so small compared to the history of the earth we would do the opposite of overact. We won't see the true consequences of our actions.

            I also do not think climate change is a thing because my political party does; I don't affiliate with a party. I tend to agree with the way the scientific community feels. I can't say I understand all of it, but I'm a smart guy. At the same time, if there was some revolutionary data that completely flipped everything on its head, I wouldn't ignore it.

              Seriously, this is getting old. You are a hypocritical idiot... you are a gullible sap... you sit at your computer and I don't understand how you dress yourself each morning...

              You political party, it doesn't even matter. You as a person, how you think, what you type... it is comical. You should just be a character embodying some ridiculous, exaggerated ideal... not a real person

                If you're trying to make a valid point, please never ever reference the daily mail. Of all the fear-mongering, ultra conservative, xenophobic papers in this country, it is easily the worst. There's even a website with a script that generates its sensationalist headlines:

                http://www.qwghlm.co.uk/toys/dailymail/

                Here are a few for reference:

                WILL BRUSSELS INFECT THE MEMORY OF PRINCESS DIANA WITH AIDS?

                ARE THE POLES KILLING YOUR PETS?

                WILL THE NANNY STATE MAKE YOUR CHILDREN OBESE?

                    While we can quantify our output measured in carbon or whatever gas is causing the problem this week, we really can't quantify it's effect on our earth because of the small window of time in the earth's 6bil some odd year life.

                    Does this mean we shouldn't look for alternatives to fossil fuels? No. But it also doesn't mean we should stop using FF completely tomorrow either. Just think about what grid you're plugging your Tesla into. Or the fact that producing the battery for your prius has more environmental impact than producing an entire conventional car. 75k miles is where I believe the break even point began in terms of net environmental impact (production + usage).

                        You will never convince a disbeliever that there is Global warming on a cold day, just like you will never convince a believer on a hot day.

                        It would be neat to see if we are actually on just a global cycle, though imo it is still best to invest in more green type energy and to keep up on preventing pollution saw this the other day http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/23/world/asia/china-beijing-smog-emergency-measures/index.html?hpt=ias_c2 and wonder how long till China creates an EPA like agency to start preventing this.

                              Well, sure, not even I can creatively come up with different ways to explain to woodypeckerhead that

                              he doesn't add much to the forum. It's fall, and I've been really busy.

                              Back to the funny about gw.... it's near the end of Oct., and Indian Summer will happen later on,

                              maybe in a few weeks or so...

                              Funnier, to me, is that we've been burning up firewood already - it's been in the mid thirties...and only

                              late Oct? Weather just changes. I remember I got my first real shotgun in the fifth grade. I followed the hints in

                              some small presents, and had to figure out it was in the back of my parent's car. so, I walked outside in jammies

                              and a tshirt - it was about 70 degrees. More and more, scientists are backing off being labled as mmgw supporters.

                              Weather cycles, regardless of the benefits of paying serious attention to pollution, or not.

                              But labeling CO2 as a poison really discredited the got nothin woody's of the ignorant support for mmgw movement.

                              But cold weather is really hitting early this year. Weather changes go in cycles.

                                Well, sure, not even I can creatively come up with different ways to explain to woodypeckerhead that

                                he doesn't add much to the forum. It's fall, and I've been really busy.

                                Back to the funny about gw.... it's near the end of Oct., and Indian Summer will happen later on,

                                maybe in a few weeks or so...

                                Funnier, to me, is that we've been burning up firewood already - it's been in the mid thirties...and only

                                late Oct? Weather just changes. I remember I got my first real shotgun in the fifth grade. I followed the hints in

                                some small presents, and had to figure out it was in the back of my parent's car. so, I walked outside in jammies

                                and a tshirt - it was about 70 degrees. More and more, scientists are backing off being labled as mmgw supporters.

                                Weather cycles, regardless of the benefits of paying serious attention to pollution, or not.

                                But labeling CO2 as a poison really discredited the got nothin woody's of the ignorant support for mmgw movement.

                                But cold weather is really hitting early this year. Weather changes go in cycles.

                                  Who say mmgw is no fact. Read up for the first time.

                                  Meanwhile, Christmas is a-comin, and our favorite show folks,

                                  Duck Dynasty - Robertsons... are coming out with a new Christmas album.

                                  We're going to visit my Father-in-law in Texas, by way of where the Duck Dynasty

                                  factory is, and families live. But I already have an Uncle Si duck call.

                                  Real science is SI-entology. Jack.

                                    We've been over this... I'm not saying you can't find a handful that hand out on your side of the fence. I'm just standing with the vast majority.

                                    Over/Under on how many "War on Christmas" threads you make?

                                      Actually at one point in our history the round earth scientists were in the minority. Anyway Woodrow let's say you're right. We're all gonna die. And what are we gonna do about it? Nothing? I'm in...

                                        I know I'm going to regret posting this, but more snow actually supports global warming theory.

                                        Please go put a pot of water on the stove set on low , hold a piece of glass over it for ten minutes, and then stick it in the freezer.

                                        Do the same with another piece of glass, but set the stove on high.

                                        Guess which piece of glass will have more frost on it?

                                        A warmer planet means more water evaporating into the atmosphere, which means more snow and earlier snowfall as our neck of the woods approaches winter.

                                          I also do not think climate change is a thing because my political party does; I don't affiliate with a party. I tend to agree with the way the scientific community feels. I can't say I understand all of it, but I'm a smart guy. At the same time, if there was some revolutionary data that completely flipped everything on its head, I wouldn't ignore it.

                                          I'm not referring to you thinking a certain way because of politics. I'm talking about politicians who choose a side or refuse to support another side because it doesn't suit their party's beliefs is just ridiculous and makes me think of our government as a hopeless bunch of idiots. I cannot think of specific examples but you would believe this happens often.

                                          I believe we must remain vigilant in researching the climate we live in, and maybe you're right about us not realizing the consequences of our actions. Maybe we're all just overreacting. Time will tell
