Why "global warming" Gets Me Heated

Sham, that was your plan? I thought it was mine! LOL We were working together and didn't know it!! Muahahaha right back at ya!!

Arguments on both sides of Global Warming:Global Warming!

KSJ, I'm not clear on what you're saying. Could you clarify for me?

Yes Annie, be glad to.The second Global Warming is the link that takes you to the site when you click on it!

Aha! Well, that clears that up, I missed that completely! LOL

Thanks for the link!

Here is a YouTube link to an interview with Michael Crichton on the Charlie Rose show. The first half is about his novel "Next" and concerns genetics and the second half starting at about 22 minutes in regards Global Warming. By the way... you can click on the loading bar to get to the point in the video where you want to start watching.

As always, awesome research Shamlink!

Sham,

Classic Post: "Al Goreacle", "I think, therefore I Sham"

Am watching your video now...but it's late here. So I will have to give a thorough and mind-numbing rebuttal tomorrow . J/K, so far, it's interesting.

The crazy part of all this is I love "State of Fear". In fact, it is what piqued my interest in Global Warming. Oddly though, even with that start, I reached a different conclusion from M. Crichton (at least as it stands now). But more information is coming my way...and my state of fear start always makes me, hopefully, a wee bit skeptical.

That said, I am a huge fan of renewables, but there is a significant geopolitical aspect to this...not the least of which concerns the type of debacles we engage our country in when we have to constantly worry about such a large percentage of our oil being imported.

Oh...and I was kidding about the rebuttal. Wouldn't want to push from Green Fatigue into straight Green Coma.

That said, while all these presentations are interesting...I hate being a slave to the author's point of view (i.e. you only generally see evidence and quotes that support the author's conclusion). Why can't we get some old fashioned discussions put out there -- not cable crap with hacks and soundbits....but a two hour video of established scientists going at it (with maybe someone taking the time to put things in lay terms...kinda like Colbert's word, only real). This would do so much to enlighten me, and I'm sure others, but you never see it.

I totally agree with this statement. I would love to see a Michael Crichton,discusson
with some top notch scientists, so we could get some actual data presented.

Michael Crichton huh.... I must say, his take on time travel to the middle ages and super intellegent apes in the congo is quite intruging, but untill i hear what Stephen King has to say about it, i'll keep that tire fire in my back yard burning.


And remember the rainforest from the 80's? I heard a year or so ago about areas of the S American rain forest growing back at a faster rate near where all the development is taking place compared to deep inside the jungle. 'They' say it is because of the extra C02 from us humans and cars and the like. But then again, if you dig up a tree out of your yard, the grass grows back in the spot pretty fast and i don't think running a lawn mower is what helped it.

Hmmmm, Tires burning in the back yard, Lat? Wasn't that in Foxworthy's video?

this has been a great discussion.My personal opinion is that global industry is affecting our atmosphere. I don't know much about global warming but I do believe that the earth is going through climate changes due to massive industrial emissions.
I did google the topic and what I found was a very popular 'cynical movement'...it was interesting.

It makes one wonder if this is what the corporations that run the world had planned all along. Kind of a reverse psychology. Saturate the media to create apathy in the masses thus giving them the "green" light to continue raping the planet.

Yeah, I'm paranoid like that.
