If we love our offspring, we must face up to climate change now

Comments on Topix forums : The latest emphasis on drilling our coasts for more oil is really a denial of the basic scientific findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Obviously the correct thing to do is be a good steward of the planet. I do not believe it is right for people to be forced to accept a theory that has not been proven. Kind of torn on the subject as I have studied for years and have heard both sides and would love to see the earth cleaned up. Does this justify telling people something that is just not true as a way of cleaning up the earth? Not sure if the ways justify the means. Climate is always changing and always will. For man to think he can control it is a bit arrogant to say the least. Right now the concern is more on impending cooler temps with the solar minimum taking place. If this does happen more havoc will be created than from the small warming we have seen.

[Yep]

We will not be influenced by the algore myths
Climate change is natural and has occurred for millions of years.
Environmentalist whackos need to stop trying to
pay for this crap with more taxes! Climate change is NOT a function of government!

This is the Greatest Threat to face ManKind since, GLOBAL COOLING in the 70's !!!

to think they wanted to cover the ice caps with black soot to draw sunlight and melt them. PHEW glad we didnt do that one!

How about we just chill out a bit eh? anyways if you really want to do the best you can to stop the Warming become a Vegan.

Tell me this Mr. Gore why do you still drive in a fleet of giant SUV's

Oh and one other little factoid, One Volcano Blast puts more greenhouse gasses in the Atmosphere than man has over the past 50years COMBINED

too many people stand to make too much money off Global warming and Carbon Credits, Greatest SCAM and RIP-OFF in history!

[Mr Black]

I think Al Gore needs to rowboat his self over to China and tell them to curb Carbon Im sure they would gladly let him Hijack their county with this PC, BS

But we have and are still doing it. What do you think is causing most of the melting in the Arctic?

Before any of this is believeable, a more appealing messenger is needed. Surely you don't believe anything stupid Al Gore says?

warmer weather!

We need some rain. Is there any way we could sell rain credits or raise the rain tax?

Don't bother appealing to reason with drillers and climate-change deniers. For the most part, they have decided to trust RW and libertarian think-tanks over science.

Since we can't separate these wankers from the rest of the thinking public - they are going to take the whole ship down with them.

Science is not of one opinion as to the causes of the warming trend.

This liberal wet dream called global warming is the product of cowards who can't think for themselves because they trust the sensational corporate media, paid consultants posing as scientists, PR firms and other pandering liberal politicians.
