Isn't there evidence to support global warming? If there is, I highly doubt there's an eminent and impending doom looming over us as we speak like Al Gore says. Nevertheless, going green couldn't really hurt us that bad, could it? It'd at least make the air cleaner.

I'm definitely all for going green. However, there's evidence to support everything depending how you skew it. That and, like I said, the earth has a temperature shift cycle thing that happens regardless of humans. And we had one frozen heck of a winter here.

In reality, global warming is probably on the bottom of my problem list right now. What's worse is that I get all this junk from fellow students telling me it should be at the top.

Everyone must read State of Fear by Michael Crichton. We'll have a big laugh about this in a few decades.

Well Gosh. It snowed so much here that school is already closed!

I have ANGST because I'm homeschooled, and I can't celebrate moments like these anymore.

My position on global warming: It could be our problem or it could be a natural cycle. Why not take the steps to reduce our effect on the environment so we can see which one it is?

God knows that if we do that we'll get one side pointing fingers at the other, depending on who's right and who's wrong. We really should take the necessary steps to reduce our effect on the environment regardless.

That's basically what he just said.

The most important message in that book was not on the shaky support of global warming, but the book's namesake, the "state of fear." I wish I could remember exactly what that professor said at a certain cafe near the middle of the book.

Um...no it wasn't. I don't believe he said "One side will point fingers at the other."

EDIT: Ah shoot, according to April's challenge, I can't post again until 3:58 Wednesday. Totally forgot about that.

Yep.

There's a lot of proof.

8 inches of snow here in Minny last night. Where's your global warming now?

You still are getting snow? I'd hate to live there.
