Gore: Polar ice may vanish in 5-7 years

Here's a good article on Global Warming

Global Warming as Groupthink - WSJ.com

It makes some good points. It's really just about a fact that man made global warming is real. The real question is are the effects of it really going to be as catastrophic as some people are claiming or not. The answer is probably no. But it is something that needs to be curtailed, and it can be curtailed over time, we don't have to just cut it all out at once or be screwed forever like most of the GW extremists want you to believe, and we're not going to be peachy regardless, like the anti-GW extremists want you to believe.

 

Yeah. 15 million years from now I'll have to get a bigger boat.

 

That's not water rising. That's coastline receding. Nothing new here.

 

i have explained this before. listen this time.

if you favor a voluntary policy, you are no longer discussing a political issue, just your personal whims.

like if i say, "everyone should quit smoking." i believe this to be true. i genuinely believe everyone should quit. and it would solve lots of problems and save us money for health care and all kinds of benefits. but i am not saying i favor policy to enforce my whims, so nobody should give a damn. i might as well tell you my favorite color. nobody cares.

so when you say "i favor more effecient energy", thats nice, but you are no longer talking about the issue. tell me what the science indicates as far as policy that should be enacted, or we have nothnig to discuss.

ok, good, lets discuss it. how much will carbon caps cost the economy? how much will they benefit humankind? will they save any lives? how many? when? how much will they reverse warming? could that same money benefit humankind somewhere else?

you cant just rush stupidly in to legislation without knowing those answers.

did you see my link before about the money spent on carbon reduction being thousands of times more effective at saving lives if it were spent on malaria research? dont believe it?

 

I like how I post a well written article from a well respected newspaper that presents very factual and moderate points and everyone ignores it and continues their idiotic polarized whinefest.

You guys are a waste of time.

 

skip to the 1:07 minute mark and listen. Even kids programs are getting in on the indoctrination.

what you believe to be factual and moderate is not necessarily factual and moderate according to anyone else, although i do i agree with your article.
