    I'm not going to argue that it's true, but there is a lot of scientific thought out there that argue both points well. I'm also not a fan of the term "global warming" because people focus on the "warming" aspect of the term. "Climate Change" is what should concern us, but we don't understand it enough to really know what should be done about it. It's subject to so much debate because so much is unknown, it's very complex and we don't have nearly enough data. At this point, nothing would surprise me.

    picking and choosing what you apply your rules to. i didnt make your point. the point is, there is a first time for everything. (as outlined by many, post after post.) and that there were factors never in play before.

    either you believe things can, or cannot happen for the first time.

    nope. i expect your renunciation.

    Picking and choosing? I believe in the laws of physics....if an event violates those laws then either I don't understand the laws properly or else it was a miracle (if you believe in God)....

    At least you are open minded about it.
    All of these points about record snowfall causing warming is garbage though.
    It isn't the first time we have had record snowfall or the climate has changed drastically.
    They may and try and explain why and how things happen today but that doesn't explain the reasons these same things happened hundreds or thousands of years ago?
    I use to live in Valdez, Alaska, that place and Thompson Pass gets more snow than most places around the world, there is no such thing as man made global warming around there.
    That is the woods, the sticks, nothing is there to cause warming.

    In fact, every 110-story skyscraper that has ever been gutted by fire has collapsed.

    Gravity is stronger.

    When you stack steel that heavy and that high, it only takes a small failure to create a chain reaction.

    this simply is not true.

    the most interesting question to me is why you make that claim. what about you makes you hate reality.

    obviously he meant the fireman decided to "pull" out and let the building burn, because it was dangerously close to collapse. this is such a simple thing to understand.

    Clearly, our public education system is still a failure. So depressing that anyone still thinks 9/11 was some kind of government conspiracy.
