Not diggin' a hole just happen to agree with those who think global warming is a crock as far as what Al Gore and some others are preaching.

Hysterical that you accuse others of being gullible.  :rolleyes:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Like I've said  before, too bad the dinosaurs didn't know all this science and maybe there wouldn't have been an ice age.  :rolleyes:

Yup, and the sheep bleat in chorus along with their corporate American funded representatives. ---v

You are proof that the dinosaurs choose to stay willfully ignorant.

And they used to grow grapes in England but can't now because the climate is too cold so where's the global warming there? Check that out... :razz:

LOL! I just can't help myself ....


Turns out that not only CAN they grow grapes in England, now they are growing FINE WINE grapes in England.

British winemakers credit climate change for boom in bubbly sales

Temperatures here are about 11 / 2 degrees warmer than they were four decades ago, significantly improving harvests. Many climatic variables affect wine grapes. But by at least one measure — average temperatures during the grape-growing season, which are now routinely above 55 degrees here — southern England is beginning to look more like the Champagne region of years ago.

The old pick and choose routine again.  It did happen and I proved it and won't do it again.  Of course if there had been the science of today back then the cooling off period could have been completely avoided through the use of carbon credits.  :rolleyes:

Life isn't a cartoon, so stop ascribing human characteristics to dinosaurs. . .  :spooked:

However, what does it say that we DO have the science and technology, as well as the capacity to understand what it is telling us, and STILL some choose to ignore it?

It did happen. From about 1550 until 1850. But your post ...

You completely miss the point.  We cannot control Mother Nature no matter what we do.  Clean things up, yes, try to control the environment, ain't gonna happen.  We can go to all kinds of expense here and China will pollute even worse because the offenders will move there and they have no restrictions at all so what we are paying through the nose to control will be lost and we will be broke.  You're so hell bent on seeing what you perceive as a solution you aren't seeing what problems the solution can cause that may be worse. It's called tunnel vision.

Let's see. . . The environment consists of an interaction between substances at a molecular level.  If more of one substance is added it can change the overall make-up of the environment. Who has the power to add substances? We do of course. (We being humankind).

Of course, we've been down this path a thousand times to no avail surrounding your comprehension, so let us try another approach.

You drink a lot of things; water, coffee, tea, and you do it every day. Life goes on as usual. But one day you drink Drano and it kills you. Why? Because the substances in Drano serve to kill the environment that is your body.

Whose fault is it that you drank Drano?
