Can I blame you for Global Warming?

[kyo_9]

blame yourself before blaming others...

To all of those that complain that these discussions are cut off by the mods just when they are getting good, I would point out this thread is on the cusp of that point, as the discussion has been reduced to a lot of name calling.

If that can be remedied, then it will remain open. If not, it will be closed.

Then sort out the people who ARE name calling. Its amazing how everyone has to suffer just cos of one or two idiots.
The 'debate' had been going fine, however in depth and heated it had been getting. I was actually learning a lot and was especially interested about the 'hole in the ozone layer' issue.

Everyone has a right to speak their opinions and everyone has a right to refute those opinions.
Sort out the people who can't do one or the other, or both, in a civil manner.

Sort out the people who can't do either in a civil manner.

It would be nice if people could keep their tempers in check and their egos in their pockets so mods didn't have to act like babysitters for members that know better.

Aniki and Bureda: Consider this your warning. If you want to continue to post here, don't insult people. If you can't do that you will be going on vacation.

But right now the summers are really hot and getting more hotter, while the winters are a rainy and there practically no snow now. And since I live by the sea the weather right now changes every week from freezing (-17C) to warm (+3C) and this is not normal here. Somehow I find it hard to believe that Global cooling has got anything to do with this.



If you'd pull that arrogant head of yours out of your ass and look at Zed's sig. you'll see that English is not his native language, so it's naturally that he makes mistakes. An intelligent person (especially a teacher) would understand that, it's obvious that you're not one of them.

Point taken.

As for temperatures in your home area, how about looking at this year's record, and comparing it to records of past years. These records shouldn't be hard for you to find. Tell me what they say.

2008 is projected to be the coldest year this decade for London.

I honestly believe it's meant to go this way. We all know that earth is going under in the future. When? We don't know exactly.
But the end of existence needs a reason - or at least a cause.

What I'm trying to say is, that if global warming (and alike) didn't wipe us off the earth at some point - something else will. A major natural force if you may. This is gonna sound corny, but that's how it is meant to be.


I can hardly take this reply seriously, as it's coming from my-very-self. But I really believe that this is how it's supposed to go.

Global Warming is BS. The other is ALWAYS going through a time of heat, and a time of cool.

It's good to save energy and resources, but it is not contributing to Global Warming.

Which reminds me. I just read an interesting article about agnotology, which applied absolutely to this thread, and the above post.

Basically agnotology is the study of culturally cultivated ignorance. The more information out there the less that is true. People believe what they want to believe but now have all the sources they want to back it up.

The more information we have access to, the more ignorant we are. Therefore you have fewer people believing in evolution, that Obama is a Christian and in Global Warming.

Food for thought.

Oh trust me... I read books about Global Warming nonsense.

I have the right to say what I think, and I think you are being rude towards my opinion.

I wasn't being rude at all.

You spoke with authority: "Global Warming is BS".

That is interesting to me when professional and layperson's opinion tend to swing the other way.

It's like saying "Gravity is BS" in my head.

So what books have you read?
