I am fully aware about the scientific consensus that increased carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming. I am also fully aware that not once in your rambling did you mention that, but instead rambled on about other theories and made odd statements regarding ozone that I question the accuracy of and would like to see a source. ---

So how about all the mentions of ozone you kept tossing around that I questioned you on? How does the earth shifting on its axis greatly affect global avergae temperatures? Last I checked a shift on an axis moving the northern hemisphere slightly further from the sun would move the southern hemisphere slightly closer, thus not affecting the disctance from the sun of the earth overall. You seem to be boucing back and forth between and attempting to blend theories connected to the ozone, emissions from burning fossil fuels, and at least one theory dealing with the rotation of the planet while stating innaccurate or partially accurate facts about each. ---

i think it’s ludicrous to think that emissions aren’t having a negative effect on the environment. i’m not going to say that everything would be fine if we all drove Insights, but i believe that conservation of fuels and resources, and making as little pollution and waste as possible, are goals we should all strive for. I’m not going to be one of those psycho hippie douchebags that wants to deny you the ability to own an SUV… **BUT** I do believe that it’s in all of our best interest to see that those SUVs make the power as cleanly and efficiently as possible. ---

they told our parents back in the 70’s oil would run dry and the earth would be dark and cold by now. like i said in another thread…scientists at NASA found natural gas on other planets which means all that fossil fuel stuff is garbage… the earth just naturally produces gas and oil like it does lava and other stuff. its not from dead animals. we have tons of oil in the earth and the fact that we can make it from coal and we now have other methods of conserving and making energy the wacks need to back the fuck off people who want to buy the cars they want and use energy the way they want. but seriously its not colder, we are just having cold over more days than normal. its not like its never been cold before. people panic and they close schools… WTF?

I didn’t bother reading the whole thread. But I think everyone should watch Al Gore’s movie. “The Inconvenient Truth: A Global Warming” We are headed to another ice age MUCH faster than the other ones have come along- he shows a ton of information supporting that. HOWEVER, We are going to get extremely HOT before that happens. As for the 1920’s comment. It may be colder right now- this week whatever… but the averages on a Yearly basis is a little higher. Sorry- I couldn’t read the whole thread- it hurts my head. ---
