Climate Change / Global Warming : What Do You Think?

[andy]

Does global warming mean the end to ice cream as we know it?

Global warming means as soon as you buy the icecream and start eating it , it will be melting in your hands

I'm staggered that 11 people here (currently) have such a tenuous grip on reality that they think global warming has nothing to do with human activities.

I thought that the average iq here, and grasp of basic scientific principles was a bit better than that - oh well

Bogey mate, I am one of those 11 and the question is about "primarily".
I would suggest that human activity is a factor, but I do not believe that it is the major contributing factor. I see this "global warming" or "climate change" as scurilous scare mongering to drum up support for research or as an excuse for taxation etc.

I have reasons for my beliefs, but it would take too long to explain here.

Read the fekin' papers on the subject.

It's all very well arguing from a point of complete feckin ignorance.

Don't believe everything you read in the papers!

I believe that human activity is responsible for 30% of global warming
Dont ask me how I got that figure

I think there is a failure to untangle the spurious tax argument from the scientific concept. Just because opportunists like Brown et al see it as a cash cow doesn't equate to the argument being eronious. The other problem is those spreading propoganda to support the status quo. If we untangle the spin it still seems to me we should do something (if we can). We have the technology to adapt, why can't we do that? Why do we have to maintain the status quo, ask yourself who wants to maintain it?

What I can't understand is how come it was warmer 2000 years ago????
Then it was fecking cold in the 14 centurys and now it's starting to get warm again ???

I think thats popostorous! Surely any half wit can see it's clearly, 27.6654% !

I don't know how you people tie your shoelaces in the morning

[sasguru]

I doubt you could rip a wet paper bag to shreds.

Ouch ! struck again by the "strangely single" bumguru.

If I was "strangely single", which I'm not, why would that invalidate any logical or scientific argument I might have? Keep digging ...
