I think, should be given a harder look than is currently allowed in the dogmatic environment we are in regarding this issue. hey, i agree 100%. butin this dogmatic environment you know how one side argues theextreme and the otherargues its reciprocal. so, i have tried to 1)call those whose are supporting the dissent for selfish reasons and 2)get everyone to realize there are legitimate reasons tobe good stewards of our earth. So, how do you feel when the Jehovah's Witnesses come to your house to get you to realize your job as a steward of the Earth? How do you feel about Evangelical Christians getting involved in politics? Why do I ask? Because you are effectively doing the same thing with your environmentalist lies about global warming. It is one thing to suggest changes, and another to codify them into international law.

Do you really think environmentalists are purposely misleading or are knowingly witholding the truth, or is this just hyperbole. Might want to do some more editting here.

The peach crop is devasted in SC and NC as well as many other crops. My herbs are all dying, as they usually come up this time of year. Gee, you poor thing! The food shortage in your house must be terrible. But of course global warming can't possibly be the cause. Everybody knows that climate change only affects people in places like Asia and Africa. Warming Threatens Crops

x, huh? we DON'T havea unique atmosphere? your assuming its unique, you have no idea what the several hundred other known planets have for atmospheres. Unique to our solar system sure, but to say it is unlikely that another atmosphere similar to earth's exists seems quite a leap.

Titan the moon of Saturn has an atmosphere very similar to Earth's. http://exoplanet.eu/ there's a link to the other 218 known planets not in our solar system.

i simply said that the rate of temperature rise for this planet--a planet with an atmosphere unique in our universe-- is greater than it was for any other "ice age" climatological change on this planet. life or no life aside, let's say that's what you meant with this quote. What do you have to support you claim of this being the most extreme temp increase from any ice age event?

Two comments on the link provided:
Did you see the use of the term "semi-empirical"? That means it is based on theory, doesn't it?
Second, the semi-empirical observations only went back 30,000 to 40,000 years. Do you subscribe to a young earth theory then? Weren't there ice ages prior to 40,000 years ago.

pale, i am not a scientist. the word i wanted to focus on was "unprecedented". obviously, if this were the be-all-end-all, we wouldn't be having this debate in thefirst place would we? xodus wanted to call shenanigans on me so i posted a link refering to something i had heard about before.
once again, my purpose in this thread is for environmental stewardship regardless of the truth/fallacy of global warming. i'm curious why others including you now, are trying so hard to fight against anything environmental. why are you being so defensive? My concerns are handing governments and the UN more power and the huge economic costs of reversing even a small fraction of what will happen.

My concerns are handing governments and the UN more power and the huge economic costs of reversing even a small fraction of what will happen. so why can't we just do it ourselves and regulate ourselves? and like xodus said, the cleanup is essentially impossible, but it is NOT impossible to reverse how we look at the environment now. sorry, we HAVE to pay the additional costs. this "well, it's not in my lifetime" attitude pisses me off. and we have the same attitude fiscally as well. of course W can provide all sorts of plans while cutting taxes for the rich; we have a national credit card. though it is ironic how conservatives chastize our society for not saving and using credit while they turn a blind eye to the one thing they can actually effect (as opposed to personal choices though there are many realms where the certainly want to tell us what is best for us). (sorry, didn't see a soapbox moment coming. it just happened. )

Of course, in their pursuit of radical policies, the liberals have no problem taxing to death everyone, rich, middle class, working class, and poor, with their carbon tax. Typical socialist policies finally begin to manifest in the global warming epic: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/environment/jan-june07/climatechange_04-11.html

I caught a small blurb on Headline news this weekend that was talking about how the Prius hybrid had horrible emmissions issues.

Taxation slows the economy, and in this case adds yet another tax burden to the American consumer. Taxing the corporations does not come out of their pockets, it comes out of the consumers' pockets. Again, typical socialist agenda.

Taxation slows the economy thanks. we already know that you are a conservative. this statement is utterly redundant. i already apologized for the soapbox. let's get back to the environment instead of saving me another $200/yr in taxes while the rich get to save millions, shall we? Yup, those rich sure rake it in tax-wise: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009940But ok, no more on this stuff, agreed, back to the environment.
