I suppose that that is news only to people who think Al Gore knows what he's talking about.

Supposedly Mars is/was warming too, sans the biggest threat to the universe, the internal combustion engine. I'm sure there's a rational explanation though, and that the giant ball of fire we call the sun has absolutely nothing to do with it.

It's probably those little green men with their high polluting flying saucers.

Damn them. They need to tighten up those CAFE standards.

I agree. If the current restrictions aren't working, the best way to fix it is to tighten the restrictions.

You gotta read Michael Crichton's State of Fear.

I've always been fairly pro-environment and still am. However, I have to say, reading the transcript of a debate from last March on the topic has influenced my thinking on global warming. This is a long read, but worth it if you're at all interested.
http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org...n%20031407.pdf Cliff notes version: The resolution was "Global Warming is not a crisis." Two sides to the debate with three people on each side. Brian Lehrer (WNYC) moderated the debate. To judge the debate, a poll of the audience was conducted before and after the debate. Those supporting the resolution went from 30% to 46%, against the resolution fell from 57% to 42%. A fairly resounding victory. Interesting debate. Last edited by ERCougar; 06-15-2008 at 11:59 PM. |
