Global Warming

ITT, how it's a bunch of nonsense perpetrated by Jim Henson and Al Gore in an effort to gain carbon credit trading commissions.

The real question about global warming is not if it's happening or not!  The question is primarily if it is an issue that has negative consequences and secondly if it is preventable and/or caused by humans.

So what is the answer there?  There are scientists that will testify that over the course of earth's history, it has been far warmer than it is now.  On top of that, some would say that the earth is actually BELOW the average temperature at which it has sustained life!

Secondly, it is hard to deny that humans have had some impact on the world's atmosphere.  Truthfully, we have done nearly everything we can to fuck with it!  However, some would consider it arrogant to think that humans could have such a dramatic impact on the hundreds of millions of cubic feet that our atmosphere contains.  7 million humans is a lot, but the world may be bigger than we can possibly imagine and maybe our impact (no matter how hard we try) is limited to nothing more than minor changes.

Although I agree that politicians are usually turn the other cheek in order to provide an ignorant and powerful economy... these are both fair points to consider.

Anyone who has links to anything statistic would be nice also =D
