My Mum just told me this:

'The Earth has gotten warmer by 0.7 degrees in the last 10 years, fact!'

 :8o

To me thats pretty pathetic considering what they're making it out to be...

Also apparantly Cows produce more Carbon Dioxide that Cars do. :P

You don't think that's because you underestimate the significance of that?

Also apparantly Cows produce more Carbon Dioxide that Cars do. :P

They don't.

Scientists say they do, and you argued earlier that the scientists know more than us...

Oh and WOAH I got that quote from my mum wrong. In the past 150 years its gone up 0.7 of a degree... which IS pathetic :8o

Whether that fact is true or not Ear, we still have to worry about global warming.
It's getting extremely serious now I think.
Next, we will be told not to fart as they contain gases that are harmful to the environment.
Btw that was nicked off South park in case you didn't know :P

lol! Yeah I thought i'd heard it somewhere! :P

Well I know that they're planning to give cows these special tablets that are to reduce their carbon emissions.

Though, considering Carbon Emissions have gone down in the past 9 years and Global Warming is still apparantly getting worse, where's the correlation? :8o

I believe, Ear, it is methane which cows release a lot of, not Carbon Dioxide. However, there is still no conclusive proof that cows contribute more to global warming than cars (and cars only take up a small proportion of humanity's carbon emissions).

Also, that is average world temperature, which distorts the seriousness of local temperature increases. The seas have barely increased in temperature, and as sea covers 71% of the Earth, that statistic will hide the severity some what, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics."

Living in the UK, I am in no doubt that the Earth is warming up, although I can neither prove nor disprove that it is due to the actions of humans, but I'm not going to be complacent and risk being wrong.

Um...don't humans exhale carbon dioxide? 

So...should we eliminate ourselves?

"God is the Lord, of angels, and of men-and of elves."-J.R.R. Tolkien

And I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood and I,
I took the road less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Well the scientists believe cows release a lot of Carbon Dioxide.

Plus Cabon Dioxide emission levels have dropped in the last 9 years, and global warming is still getting worse apparantly so I don't see a correlation :8o

Unless we're all totally wrong and Carbon Dioxide is GOOD for the environment :P

I don't see how you sense Deja Vu because everyones only becomming obsessed with Global Warming now :8o

So much so that its mainly the elder generations that doubt its happening (And no I know not EVERYONE of the older generations thinks that) Its just people my age are being TOLD what to think, its not like we get a choice ::)

I see you don't grasp much.

And get used to people telling you what to do.  That's the provblem with people like you.  You don't see the huge problems that can and will occur, so people HAVE to tell you what to do, otherwise nothing with change. 

People who already recycle, people who already cut their carbon emissions, people who have bothered to take action are the ones who should be applauded.  People who need to be told to do these things are just rather selfish.

I'd rather you didn't use the term 'people like you' we are all individuals in the way we think and I find it offensive.

Secondly, did anybody see that program that was on about Global Warming and how it wasn't happening? It was fantastic! :D

Also, I do not believe anyone should be told what to think, that's exactly how we start wars ::)

Yes I did see the program. It's just a shame the person who made it, Martin Durkin, has twisted the facts to fit his view in documentaries before. The scientist they interviewed who seemed to support what they claimed the next day said his words had been taken grossly out of context. Now I do listen to the evidence from both sides of the arguement and it seems to me that the majority of scientists who agree that global warming is happening seem alot more convincing but surely it is better to be safe than sorry. A recent report in the Inderpendant stated that unless we invest 2% of the worlds wealth combating global warming right now we may risk loosing 20%. Maybe the next generation will look back at us and laugh at the fact that we thought global warming was real, but that's a much better scenario than a generation that curses those before it for ruining their lives.

(Woah first post for a long time. Nice to see I still have it in me :D)
