The other side of global warming

[PiercedE30]

[MarshallM]

the only thing i have to say about this thread is that it seems to support my belief that everyone on the west coast, especially in oregon are a bunch of tree huggers... well atleast marshallm

Thats funny cause this thread supports my belief that people from the south are dumber then you average canine.

Between 1940 and 1977 scientists were worried about global cooling because the mean temperature had gone down a few degrees. Even Time magazine published an article on this "crisis". They believed that all of the dust particles from cars and industry were blocking the sunlight out partially.

Why can't mother nature cycle like all the other women of the world. Right now she's having a hot flash. BFD.

It's really pretty interesting, over nearly the past 100 years, Time I believe (that or Life) has flip flopped between the whole "warming" and "cooling" thing more than once.

You guys know that global warming isn't the REAL threat to our planet.

The most dangerous and horrifying threat to our planet's survival...

is ManBearPig.

[Ablice]

I don't believe for global warming or against it...yet.

Untainted facts is what I need. With my own eyes.

Until then, eh.

You know what I'd like to do? When this supposed "warming" ends, and plunges towards a cold spell. Then I can look at all the "warming" people, and say, "No rubbish, eh?"

(I would use the expletive form of rubbish, but...)

ok...

lets clear this up.

*FUCK* Al Gore, one of the most two-faced lying sacks of shit that the world has ever seen. Thinking he is the man buying carbon offsets from his own company. Somebody look up his own energy use and compare to yours. Interesting stuff.


SCIENCE IS FACTS, NOT "consensus" There are ZERO facts to show the story either way.

[1991 318is]

One of my favorite cartoons was in the New Yorker years ago. One dinosauer says to the other, "There's something about this sudden cold snap that depresses me."
With the increased demand from developing third world countries, we'll soon run out of oil.
The ultimate global warming - "nookular" war. No, wait! That's "limited" nuclear war. Have Henry Kissinger explain it to you if you can stay awake that long! And you thought Al Gore was boring?

This thread is bullshit, and so is everyone that advocates GW that doesnt drive a goddamn' prius. If you really cared and supported the theories you wouldnt be driving a 20 year old BMW that pollutes like all hell even when you do pass emissions.

Enjoy the warm weather...Suck it up and go get a tan...cancer too.

Actually you might, cars don't fall off trees.......

Is it better to let millions of poor people in Africa die to save a few birds by not potentially thinning their shell? It wasnt even that, they could have still used it in Africa, but the US wasnt willing to admit that it did have a use, because that would be ENVIRONMENTAL GENOCIDE!!@!@@! according to the Rachel Carson followers.

^^^^^^^

I have 2 e30's a an a truck, am I causing GW.
