Global Warming: What do you think? What do you know?

To the OP.
A logically valid and sound argument that should be easy for you to comprehend. This accurately validates the existence of global warming.

1) If it is the case that the average world temperature has been rising at an increasing rate over the last decade, then global warming exists.

2) It is the case that the average world temperature has been rising at an increasing rate over the last decade.

3) Therefore, global warming exists.

Let's see your counter-argument.

It's been stated on multiple pages before; this thread is to address thoughts on global warming as it pertains to the idea that humans generated global warming or attribute to it, not whether the Earth goes through natural warming periods.

LOL at citing Wikipedia...

yeah, yeah, we all know Al Gore is a shithead. I'm against this global warming hysteria, but I do think now (well, once the economy comes back) is the time to invest in new and improved energy sources.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced his plan to have one carrier strike group completely fuelled with alternative energy by 2012, and deployable by 2016, as well as a host of other ambitious goals. Read a little bit more about it, then some interesting stuff about the viability of algae-based bofuels, here.

dude

I didn't have time to read all the post so ill just give my two cents.

I don't personally believe that global warming is due to human interferance. Like it was said before it has only been 150 years of industrilization, which is nothing in the big picture. It is also hard to believe that in the last five years or so it has drastically gotten worse. Changes in the earth takes 1000 of years so for global warming to have happened 150 years is like making your Fiat 500 as fast as a topfueler.

I also do not like Al Gore but I do support what he is doing. If it was not for him people would still not care about there carbon emissions. At lease he has had enough effect on the average human kind so that Car Companies, Petrol Giants, Goverments, and Energy Companies are trying to make there products more greener which no matter how you look at it is a good thing.

Someone mentioned that alot of money is being poored in to going green. Well that is fantasic, the more money being spent the more jobs there are. But it has also been a while since a major technological revolution, and as we all know the greatest time of technoligy moving forwards in leaps and bounds is during a crisis period. So I am hoping with the current "Crisis" that we may see the first Fussion Reactor, Or a mass produced full electric car that can trave more then 5 foot.

Anyway thats my thoughs on the matter.

Hippies are great like that. Last year in an Environmental Studies class, we had to do a project on local food vs imported food. My hippie partners were all gung-ho about how buying from a farmer on a street is so great for the environment, and I was trying to argue that the food is more likely to be covered in pesticides (as imported food faces regulations and what have you).

Hippie partners told me I was wrong, and then didn't put any of my slides into the presentation powerpoint. Fuckers.

I wouldn't be so mad if I was wrong, but that fact was told to me directly by the head of the Geography department.

Fuck I hate hippies.

Have you seen the Penn and Teller Bullshit on organic food? Hilarious!

global climate change has happened for millions of years.... why do you think the first ice age ended? too many F150s?

Wikipedia is for people who are too stupid/lazy to check the real sources. not so much an argument, just stating a fact.

Good thing global warming ended in 2003 then.

Yes but the question is whether it is caused by humans or not.

Few years back it would rain alot more and would be cold around this time of the year. The world wont end anytime soon because of this but shits gunna change. One day we'll be living the movie water world lmao. just my 2cents.

So it NOT raining is going to cover the HOLE world in water?

Good luck stopping subsistence farmers from doing it (what, you thought it was McDonalds cutting down the rainforest?).
