I agree with James. Of course the earth is warming, or else we would still be in an ice age. The true question is: what is the ideal temperature for the earth? Is it colder or warmer than it is today? And, is there really anything we can do about it? Until someone can asnwer those questions, all the rest is just hot air.

Of course the earth is warming. What do you think ended the last ice age?

[...] can argue all you want about climate change, but once you see Balog’s work, you’ve got to concede that the planet is heating [...]

Thank you for a great article! Whether or not people choose to believe it, the risks of doing nothing is so much higher than the costs of doing something.

There’s just so much waste… thinking about it is enough to turn your stomach. Probably why most people don’t.

I think something may be wrong with the link that is supposed to go to the recent study you cited because it just brought me back to the same article but that could just be me.

I wanted to see that study because yes the oceans rivers and lakes do take in some carbon dioxide but they release so much more. Volcanoes, animals other than humans, and decaying plant matter have been doing what they for millions of years. The amount of carbon emissions humans create is no where near that of the planet itself.

I do agree that even if we re not the cause of global warming that we should still take steps to preserve our planet while taking into consideration that we can’t hold developing countries to our own standards. I hate when people forget that

Great article though

Thanks, Michelle. I hate to see what will happen if we ignore it, but it looks like that’s happening anyway.

This discussion could go on forever. We got these scientists, driving their SUVs and climbing (riding elevators) up to their air conditioned offices and flying around in their corporate jets, running around telling the rest of the world to go green.

Fish and turtles doin’ nasty things on the beach and in the water. Brown bears takin’ a crap in the woods and polar bears fallin’ off the ice and into the ocean. People choppin’ down the rain forests to grow food and burning wooden-trees to stay warm and cook their food ‘cuz they ain’t got electricity, yet.

Watch a pond. It turns to scum. Everything dies. Then, it comes back someday; clean and clear. Mother Nature rules.

who believes in global warming but doesn’t believe its bad? plants grow more with more co2, land opens up as glaciers melt… i think it might be a good thing.
