GLOBAL WARMING IS AN ISSUE! Just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I should suffer from ageism and be considered insolent and ignorant in what I'm talking about. Now that I got that out.
Though I'm only 18, I have studied meteorology and the Earth's climate for years. Mainly for competitions...yes...competitions... It's obvious, even without prior experience, to understand that the world is not in a healthy state. Even top scientists at NASA recently
posted findings saying that we are truly f***ed...ok maybe not THAT dire. Yeah yeah, I know you are saying "This is freakin' James Hansen we are talking about, hes retarded." I don't think so in my opinion. Yeah he has said the government has been the largest form of scientific century. I believe him. I think some guy out there secretly has the cure for AIDS or some other fatal illness that brings in the money to doctors, hospitals and health care, but also takes the money from tax payers to control them...anyways back to topic...before I go eat (since I haven't all day =/)
Why don't people look at the facts? Just because "what you don't know will never hurt you" doesn't mean global warming wont.

Hopefully we don't destroy anything :(
I'm also for protecting endangered animals and am huge against animal cruelty, I hate animal abusers.
Well this was different from video games, good discussion topic in my eyes.
I never read anywhere that blogs had to be exclusive to video games...it says "gamer blogs" which means they are blogs written BY gamers, not about games.

You are correct about the Larson B ice shelf, but what about the Wilkinsice shelf? Yes, it does say that "Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995," but the trend of glaciers melting has highly increased. Eg. Many parks once known for their freshwater glaciers, no longer exist. Some people say its because we are "coming out of an ice age", but is that really a proper excuse for saying that we are running out of fresh water and land area?
Obviously.
Look at the ice age and the warming that happened after that. Wouldn't it make sense to think that Earth is on a shifting scale from warm to cold to warm to cold, and right now we're on the warming side still?
@Anybody who thinks global warming is a new thing we're creating...
Obviously Wikipedia is not the greatest source for facts but the ice age page says, "There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth's past. Outside these periods, the Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes."
So, at one point the earth was frozen... and after that it warmed up to the point that even on mountain tops there was no ice... that's pretty dang hot. And after that it froze again, and warmed, then froze, and warmed, then froze, and warmed, the froze one last time, and has since been warming back up.
So no, "global warming" is nothing new. Sure it exists, it's the natural course of the world, but it's nothing we're creating.
Does this guy remind anyone else of dprime?
Only tranked out screwball hippies need apply.
First of all, I haven't even seen Al Gores documentary. Second of all, I never had a teacher (even ONCE) approach me, or talked to me about global warming. Thirdly, if you think I'm like dprime, you can suck a fuckin dick. =] Thanks and gtfo.
