[worst-case scenario]

So you still haven’t answered the question - unless it’s to tacitly agree. “Man is not the cause and man cannot correct it” is a staement that shows you do believe that Earth’s climate is changing.

Olay, so the Earth’s temperature is climbing. You believe that Man’ activities have nothing to do with it and can do nothing to stop it.

However, do you think we can predict what the effects of rising temperatures will be?

We are already seeing some of those effects - more extreme weather events, for instance. Changing ocean currents, changing air circulation patterns, and rising sea levels. Arctic ice shrinking, greater iceberg calving in the Northern and Southern polar regions. Greater desertification in arid regions. Crop failures, food shortages, and invasion of species moving from Southern to Northern realms. (The northward spread of malarial mosquitoes into the continental US is a good example.)

Man cannot effect it, perhaps, but he CAN plan to deal with its effects. It would irresponsible of us not to.

It is neither a Right or Left issue to face that the Earth is warming and that it will change lifestyles *dramatically* by our grandchildrens’ adulthood. What do you think Americans should do to deal with the effect of the Earth’s rising temperature?

However, do you think we can predict what the effects of rising temperatures will be?

Absolutely not because there is a corruption of the academic studies in this matter. 40 years ago they insisted we were headed for an ice age. Now they predict rapid warming instead. Can't have it both ways.

Criswell had a better track record at prophecy.

Take your global warming scare and sell it to other socialists.

25 years ago Ted Danson (then on top of the world with the hit show CHEERS) warned that our oceans would be dead within 20 years. He now confesses that was "hyperbole" (insisting he didn't outright LIE) and that such dramatic rhetoric was needed to draw attention to the issue.

You put your trust in crooks.

If you are so pro-environment, you should be FOR Gulf drilling. Oil will naturally seep out of the ocean floor if it is not pumped out. Regardless if no wells had ever been drilled.

When we remove that oil, we are taking a substance that is NOT beneficial to the environment and refining and consuming it.

Electric cars and corn based fuels still require energy and create food shortages. Short sighted solution in the name of junk science and religious fervor for a doomsday scenario that IS NOT HAPPENING.
