Here is what I will never understand. If you have the opportunity to make something better or at the very least, not worse, why would you not take that opportunity?
And why does anyone think it acceptable to thumb their noses at those who would?
Here is some current reality for a lot of people, regardless of what caused it, wouldn't it be in all of our best interests to try to keep it from continuing to happen?
Global warming is a bad term, although it is somewhat accurate.
Think of the climate of the Earth as a pendulum. It swings one way, then another. What happens when its pushed slightly to one side or the other? It makes it swing wider.
So hotter drier summers, longer colder winters.
I don't think we should go crazy nuts like Mr. Gore does to try and combat global warming, if its even man made. But it is real, and we should try and limit our impact on it within reason and economic sensible means.
Thats not a crazy tree hugger answer, its just a responsible citizens answer.
Yep, we live in AR remember and I know how bad last summer was, just aske my veggie garden. but look at it now. Climate changes will always be part of our lives and science. Evolution has been with us since the earth began and will continue. Mr Gore has a few loose screws in my opinon.
Alright, let's break it down one more time:
1) The climate is not (necessarily) the weather.
2) What's global is not (necessarily) what's local.
Any questions?
At of 11:45 am this morning there was snow on the ground in 49 states, only Florida had none. Of course adding to the snow are freezing temp hovering close to zeno in state that rarely see temps lower than 20 or so. Now, Mr Gore can you explain Global Warming as well as you can explain your invention of the internet.
and can you produce data that proofs (I don't mean some theory) that Global warming exists?
I don't think you understand how science operates..
