Global Warming [I believe. Zot! See, it just got another one!]

[fred3]

I was just wondering how many freepers believe in global warming? What do you think about it?

[jennyjenny]

I think Kerry is a lying, pandering, opportunist, traitor.

[SueAngel]

It's a scientifically proven bunch of baloney.

[fooman]

I think the world will be 69 degrees, troll.

[nascartex]

Global Warming is a natural occurance. Look at the ice samples taken from Greenland and Antarctica. Each of them show ups and downs based on the temperature. Also, another thing they show is that the climate NOW is cooler than it was back then. So there was more stuff in the air and hotter temperatures THEN than now. Oh, all these sample were in the 50-100,000 year range.

I like cheese. Do you like cheese? I had soup for lunch.

[Racer1]

No. This doesn't give us the right to pollute though.

[Stellar Dendrite]

I think you should go back to DU and get a "group hug".

[PA Engineer]

tick tick tick tick tick......

[GOP_Proud]

I'm too busy gloating to think about it.

It's the last thing on my mind today.

[jennyjenny]

I think we should let all the DU'ers stay today so we can have some fun.

[bahblahbah]

Jeezus, go away trolls.

Sure there MAY be some global warming but there are also natural trends. We just had an ice age 10 thousand years ago. The fact is, the Kyoto treaty will only reduce the global temperature by .25 degrees celsius by the year 2100. Its pointless and we might as well wait for the technology for cleaner energy.

[EggsAckley]

Welcome to Free Republic.


You even have to ask??

[PA Engineer]

A moose bit my sister!

Nov. 3rd : Get out the Gloat!!

[EggsAckley]

*ping*

[diogenes ghost]

Of course I believe. It happens every damned summer, and I'm getting tired if it. Let's get rid of it.

[TheBigB]

ALL YOUR GLOBAL WARMING ARE BELONG TO US!

[jtminton]

I heard that global warming is a byproduct of ZOTs.

[PA Engineer]

This is series!

[fred3]

Would you care to post some of that scientific evidence that you cited? YOu can take an air ballon to the atmosphere and measure the amount of freons(not naturally occuring) and see that it is very high. Anyone with a simple knowledge in chemistry knows that freons react with O3(ozone) and break it down into 02. Also known as global warming. That isn't even mentioning the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

[EggsAckley]

"Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it."

[MAWG]

" Global Warming " is a worldwide Socialist strategy aimed specifically at the U.S. and being implemented by the U.N. It's all about money. We got it, they want it. End of story.

[SFC Chromey]

scientific hogwash, just like the "the world is running out of oil!"

Weather like oil is an act of nature. Don't think we are soo big that we can damage either. There are scientific studies that show oil is renewable, as there are studies that show weather is cyclical.

[Frank_Discussion]

Why, did you fart and now feel guilty? It must be all those tofu and hemp brownies. Nothing to ashamed of, try Beano.

[fooman]

Aw, mom. Cant we play with the troll for awhile?

[San Jacinto]

I love the warm winters.

(Global Warming Theory is garbage. That's for real.)

[EggsAckley]

"Get out the Gloat!"

I LOVE it!

[southernerwithanattitude]

AWE let us play with "it" for a little while.

[Straight Vermonter]

www.sepp.org all the info you will need.

[mikeus_maximus]

I'm convinced it happens-- once a year-- followed by global freezing.

I think some parts of the globe only freeze.

Others parts are only warm.

It's confusing, but I know who to blame (thank) for it.

[B.O. Plenty]

Who wants to know?

Don't run a reprobate like kerry again or you will continue to lose until the 'rat contingent in Congress will be a few hard core socalists from the "new America" map.

[expat_panama]

It would really be a lot of fun to chat about it as I've worked for a few years for a Meterological/Hydrografic section of the Fed. Gov't.

Unfortunately the subject is not a scientific one, it's a political name calling contest. If you're really interested, let me know if on the outside chance you still have an active FR account an hour from now.

[jennyjenny]

Aren't you suppose to be on a bus to Canada?

[PA Engineer]

Quit playing with your food and eat.

[Grit]

"Get out the Gloat!" I LOVE it!

Pinging for Photoshop air support!

[southernerwithanattitude]

Shouldn't you be in a corner somewhere rubbing your crystal?

[EggsAckley]

GREAT idea. Right up his alley. Brilliant.

[jocko12]

A bunch of BULL PUCKY.

[Straight Vermonter]

Anyone genuinely interested in the subject should see this.

[RW_Whacko]

"Anyone with a simple knowledge in chemistry knows that freons react with O3(ozone) and break it down into 02. Also known as global warming."

Then I'd recommend *YOU* start doing the responsible thing and start drinking flat beer and soda pop. Quit polluting the air with all that "toxic" CO2 from your pop-tops. /end sarcasm

[TexasGreg]

I believe that global warming isn't an evenly distributed effect, but regionalized depending upon where on the planet one is talking about; other regions are experiencing varying degrees of global cooling. For instance, in general from mid May until mid September lower states of the USA, as well as northern Mexico, experience some significant degrees of global warming. Contrarywise, from about mid November through March those same regions experience some significant degrees of global cooling. At the same time as these regions are experiencing either global warming or global cooling, a coordinate region of the planet relatively opposite to it is experiencing the other global effect.

This is not any big scientific breakthrough, however; for centuries we've usully called these effects: The Seasons of Summer and Winter.

[SueAngel]

Sure... start here and follow all the links.

[Ignatius J Reilly]

I think it is real, it is occurring now and some of it is due to mankind. I really don't think there is much that can be done about it. I believe that we should be concerned about man's effect on the environment, I also think the private sector is our best hope. The first company that develops workable fuel cell technology is going to be RICH. My predicition is that there will be no internal combustion cars within 100 years.

[rudypoot]

The sun has been on a warming trend.

It's funny how people tend to pay attention to the symptom more than the cause.

[DannyTN]

They say that it's been 1000 years since average temperatures were this warm.

I'm glad the 1000 year cooling trend is finally over.

[GovernmentShrinker]

IF there is any significant human effect on global warming, we need to just learn to deal with the results. The proposals to seriously cripple industry in order to try to limit global warming, have a cost WAY out of proportion to the realistic benefit that could be expected.

[smcmike]

While we aren't running out of oil, it is not a renewable resource. When we do hit the peak, (in who knows how long, not in our lifetime probably) things will change.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Your question is more or less devoid of meaning. Global temperatures vary from year to year, century to century and millennium to millennium. Whether any short term change indicates a long term trend, whether or not such change is anthropogenic, whether or not it is beneficial, or what he can, or can reasonably do are all open questions.

I do not have the answers, and Al Gore doesn't know what questions to ask. Apparently you don't either.
