Global Warming does it exist?

[Smokey14]

Here's another way of looking at it.
If Global warming is occuring because of fossil fuel use and every thing is happening just like Gore and his buddies are saying, can we afford NOT to do something about it. By the time there is undeniable proof it will be to late to save the ocean life (ie striper)

On the other hand if we stop using fossil fuel and it turns out that Global warming was a big hoax at least we will have stopped giving the middle east all are hard earned cash for energy we could make our selves. (ie solar , wind , Biofuels )

it doesn't really matter if global warming is man made or not....
we are still polluting the air with emissions from cars and trucks that are only partially burning their fuel.
The rest is getting re-burned by catalytic converters supposedly, but not all of it!

I remember cruising around in a convertible in San Diego in the month of November in 1970
....and my eyes were totally burnt from the smog at days end.
I'll bet ya their population has doubled since then.

Ironically ....reading/watching the green car bling report on CNN
this morning, that in 1920 they were talking about steam cars
or electric cars way back then and as they said "we've gone full circle".

but speaking about weather in general....who on this board hasn't noticed that
there's a longer season to fish in the fall ... or that winter seems to hang around
longer and longer in spring.
Fish normally found only in southern waters have been venturing to the north on both coasts...
even a manatee swam up here.

the change is evident.

Very good perspective...another angle is if Global Warming is happening and it is primarily due to natural forces (i.e. sunspot activity etc...) as some experts have claimed.

We're still going to see a dramatic impact impact to the global economy that will really strain our quality of life.

The lack of debate is killing planning for this scenario as well.
