if he'd said "Man-made Global Warming is a sham" would you still have called him an idiot?

I'm just wondering; because while I agree that much evidence points to a current warming trend in this latest era of Earth's history, I think MANY MANY MANY people are beginning to see that the theory that this warming is due to anything that mankind has done is ridiculous.    The planet, in its millions of years of history, fluctuates in average temperature widely due to countless reasons, many still unknown.  From solar flares to volcanic activity; there are forces effecting this planet much more powerful than all the result of human history.

While a blanket statement like "Global Warming is a Sham" may sounds short-sided, I don't think its fare to call anyone an idiot for listening to the reason in their head that doubts that burning coal, driving a car with bad gas mileage or using "old fashion" light bulbs can somehow effect our planet's climate in any sizable way.

Just saying.

I hate this subject. So much bullshit on both sides of the argument. Any subject that gets stupid people so passionate is well worth avoiding. It's all I hear about: on the news, in the papers coming out of politician's mouths.

Cant we just talk about boobs or argue about rap music?

I didn't start the thread, it was started from a post i made. And Charlie's right, to say it man caused it is asinine.

Based on what evidence exactly?

And most of the reasons have been considered and studied for decades, and the conclusion is still that we're a major cause of global warming.

A friend of mine asked me a question that got me thinking.
You know how you see those commercials with polar bears and the melting ice, then they ask you to send money to save the bears.
How's that going to help? Are they going to buy more ice for the bears?

do they just need money for the lobbyists?

ethic - I think that was the most passionate post on a "serious" topic I've ever seen you write...wow...
govtcheez03:  i kind of look for it - i seek out stupidity and annoy it until it either gets better, gets banned, or goes away on its own
