    With the exceptioin of pspr, none of the guys you're sparring with believe everything they're saying--you are being griefed.

    We're a pack of amateurs compared to the expert wind-ups I've seen you finesse. Just sayin'. You know I like you.

    This fellow pranced in here talking trash and spouting off about his vast intellect. What did you expect to happen?

    Somebody like that is going to be torn apart as though by a pack of wild animals. Standard Operating Procedure. :)

    It is necessary to hate your fellow man, to love him.

  6. So just read through this… A few points…

    1. Doesn’t matter if you believe in global warming or not. Everybody believes in pollution!
    2. Pollution is really bad… Poisonous in fact.
    3. Pollution is man made and CO2 levels are in fact rising.
    4. The climate is changing. In the current period it is getting warmer.
    5. Ice sheets across the planet are disappearing due to this warming.

    So… Does CO2 contribute to warming…? It definitely helps to keep heat in for some time. But the idea that the CO2 in the atmosphere is completely impenetrable is obviously false. Accumulation of CO2 may slow down the radiation of heat energy into space but won’t completely impede it.

    The real problem that we have is with pollution and the destruction of the environment. If this trend doesn’t reverse our environment at some future time could become unsuitable for human habitation, the only thing surviving being some cockroaches and mutated rodents.

    While I don’t pretend to understand or know the future of climate change I do know that living in a toxic environment is bad! I think that’s basically as simple as we can get…

    Either way, we’re currently getting warmer and we’re also becoming more polluted at the same time. Doesn’t matter if it’s just a coincidence… It’s BAAAAADDDD!!!!!....

    You are exhailing polution then! So stop breathing. :D

    Plants love carbon dioxide. We need more food crops.

    More CO2 = More Food

    Besides, you are too late. The argument is over. Your side lost.

  8. Well I'm not exhaling oil spills or nuclear disasters like Fukushima...! :D

    More CO2 doesn't equal more food... You're being juvenile.

    Decreasing man made pollution in general is obviously necessary. There are now 7 billion people on the planet... It's going to be a pretty big mess either way you look at it.
