Global warming definitely exists and there is hardcore evidence to support it. The only somewhat debatable thing is how much humans are contributing and how much is a natural cycle. But humans are definitely contributing.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

50 years ago people were freaking out because there was hardcore evidence to support the idea that we were going into a new ice age.
That didn't happen either.
Not saying the climate doesn't change, but if it does, it sure changes back too.

No, I meant Global Warming does not exist since it doesn't, because there is really no conclusive evidence to support the crackpot theory.

I'm with Lizard Dude on this one, but there are a lot of things to consider. Cities are warming faster than rural areas. This increase in surface temperature in the cities is probably not from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the air tends to be a fluid and not stay over most cities like a green house roof. The unequal heating of the city may be due to the surface being paved/concreted over and the fact that there are a lot of waste heat producing machines in the city. If you look at the surface temperatures versus carbon dioxide in the atmosphere you might find that the increase in surface temperature actually precedes the build up of carbon dioxide. Heh, we need to build roads to drive our cars on and parking lots to park them in before when can have the cars there to produce more carbon dioxide. Atmospheric temperature is a better gauge to measure global warming by. It is increasing too, but by a smaller rate. Also, air pollution is bad, but not all air pollution leads to global warming like carbon dioxide does. Some air pollutants actually hinder the warming of the air by blocking some of the light/IR radiation. Cars, industry, and slash and burning the rain forests aren't the only culprits in global warming either. Cow farts may be one of the biggest pollutants. Eating steak and drinking cow's milk may be just as bad for the environment as driving a car. I don't know. This is just a rambling rant of what I thought of off the top of my head.

Luigison presents some good points. And those cow farts really are messing up the enviroment. It's a lose-lose situation, 'cause they'll fart if we do nothing, and if we eat 'em, we fart cow.

Golbal Warming must have forgotten about Cleveland this past week. I had over 8 inches of snow on Easter.

Global warming has got to be real. You can't argue with the data... unless it came from Wikipedia. :PBut the ice caps melting and stuff like that is evidence enough.
The cow statement... you gotta believe that cows are polluting. In this town, which is as aggy as they come, the sky is only truly blue after a good rainy day. The rest of the time it looks like the sky over Kokiri Forest but without the little light balls everywhere.

Wow, really cloudy place you live in, BP (I love how this looks: BP)

Well, in this city in which I reside, it's blue on days that are sunny and cloudy a lot, lately. Crazy weather for crazy So.Cal. The weather alert is blinking *checks* Oh! Coastal Flood warning for Santa Barbara County!

Oh yeah, that's my angst. The stupid light won't stop blinking but I feel I need to know the weather sooo...whatever.

Funny you say that; right now where I live it's raining like the apocalypse. I noticed that the neighbor's mailbox is getting really wobbly and likely to get blown away.

EDIT: Holy crap! There it goes! Seriously, it just blew away!

California (particularly San Francisco, but still generally California) has the highest gas prices in the United States.

BP · « **Reply #2140 on:** April 12, 2007, 01:01:18 AM »

California has the highest amount of things that aggravate me in the United States.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #2141 on:** April 12, 2007, 01:02:19 AM »

But GAS my friend! Gas is almost $4 here! We soon won't be able to afford to take that road trip to New Mexico this summer!

CoconutMikeNIke · « **Reply #2142 on:** April 12, 2007, 02:48:07 AM »

But aren't other countries at like $7 per gallon?

I have no angst currently, just felt like being a part of this. Carry on.

It's funny, my teacher said the gas situation is backwards in Iraq. Water costs like $4 a gallon there, while Gas is like, $0.50 a gallon. HE said that a friend of his was in Iraq, and when he stopped to a place to clean off his tires, they used gas instead of water, it was cheaper.

The wind blew trash into my eyes and knocked out the electricity and the internet was hard to get back up.
