Global Warming Documentary

[Hdesign]

Gee, why am I not surprised.

It's funny, I had a design project dealing with climate/environment and human impact upon it back in college. Our task was to raise awareness of global warming through an innovative mailer. All 15 of my classmates followed along (like sheep) with the suggestions made by our 2 professors who critiqued our work regularly. They, of course, supported Al Gore's opinion. For some reason, open critiques of my project always erupted into a major political and philosophical discussion because I chose to research both sides of the issue and I happen to subscribe to the opposing view.

Anyway, so it came time to present the final design. I was 1 of 4 that actually had something to pass in. The presentation went very smoothly and I received compliments on the overall design by a few classmates. The final grades were posted outside the head professor's office a week later. I received the same grade (C) as the students who didn't pass their work in on time while the other 3 ranged between A-and B. I confronted the teacher about it, to which he simply replied that "You didn't follow the instructions." I wish I could have thought of something clever to say at that moment, but I was raised to respect my elders.

It's tough to be the black sheep.

How did mankind cause the last ice age to end by warming the planet?

Was it factories? Our cars? oh wait.. that was thousands and thousands of years ago

Thats great you linked to that video. I had that as my away message on instant messanger for weeks trying to get kids my age to watch it. There is just as much, if not more science saying it ISNT our fault. I am not saying we shouldn't debate it, but people need to be open to the other side!

Great Video!

PS: I bought "Planet Earth" on DVD's. Go get it! I have a soft side for nature and take bio classes for fun. (Nerd), but they are great videos.

When Mt Saint Helens blew, it, but itself, spewed out 400%(at last calculation) more emissions into the atmosphere than all of the factories/cars/air conditioners/cows farting since humans began farting. (I guess the beginning of atmospheric deterioration as we know it)

This is more than in the history of HISTORY!!

Global Warming is just the new religion of the Liberal Extreme. Evolution and the sky is falling were first and second, not it that order.

But the "They" don't want you knowing that. Go Figure.

The problem isn't really global warming. The planet will always be there but we, the mankind, will eventually cease to excist.

The problem that we will face is that we will be to many for the planet to handle us. Nature will always win over mankind.

Mankind also have a great ability to adapt to environment, so we will cope in the short perspective (as a race) but many have to suffer.

One Swedish scientist had an article the other day saying that global warming will take care of itself because we would have burned up all fossilfuels very soon (the peak will be somewhere between 2008-2018) and then the problem would have solved itself.

If many enough people are wrong, it eventually will be be correct!

I remember sitting through a documentary in 1986 saying that all fossil fuels would be used up in 12 years so we had to find alternative fuel sources. Now almost 10 years beyond that mark, we are not in a crisis. While it may one day come to pass that we do deplete our earth's petroleum reserves, I do not believe that we can accurately predict when that will be.

My 2 cents anyway.

So......





......Global warming is caused by the Sun. What a concept. Us humans are so silly. The global warming debate has as much merit as back in the old days when we argued if the world was round or flat.

Don't forget, we actually don't know how the oil got there. We keep finding more, even after we predict there shouldn't be more. It's a process we don't understand, any more than we understand the enviroment.
