Whoever thinks global warming isn't real

All that methane and carbon dioxide you think is making that big of difference isnt doing all that much.  Humans contribute 0.28% to all this. thats not much at all considering all the factorys and all the driving and all that shit we do every single day of our lives. ya there is pollution in the earth and heating it up, dont get my wrong but humans dont contribute to it barely at all.  Its all the natural greenhouse effects that happen naturaly.  if you take out the water vapor the number to how much humans contribute to it is 5 percent. still not that much and water vapor is also natural so that doesnt really count to human cause.

And even if it is 1 or 2 degrees that isnt even that much. fucking think about it. what do you expect? the earth to drop some amount or degrees? look at all the shit we do everyday like i said earlier. 2 degrees in the last century is not much at all.  and i also do understand that that the increase of the temp. isnt 2 degrees everywhere a day. im not fucking stupid. and what do you mean by the seasons have been a bit extreme? are you saying there isnt snow? you ski every year right? Colorado had the most snow in the last 2 years than it has in the last...15-20 years? my town had 5 feet of snow. dont tell me that global warming is happening. maybe global freezing? and im not calling kids out cuz i actually am explaining my shit. i did a fucking huge ass project on this subject this year and learned alot of shit that i didnt know. plus my uncle is a teacher and is a very smart man. i talked to him for hours about this shit. so maybe you should go do some research?

haha its gonna happen wether you like it or not, our bodies release methane gas all the time, cows are actualy the one animal that release the most

So the fact that you did a project and talked to someone about it makes you smarter than me on this topic? Awesome logic.

I wasn't talking snow, I am talking more extreme seasons. Hence MORE snow than normal and LESS snow than normal if yo uwant to put it in "snow" terms. You need to look at a worldwide aspect of everything, not just the town you live in. I could throw numbers at you and percentages but they are completely useless because most are wrong, inaccurate, or skewed. I am willing to bet most of the numbers you used in your project were wrong. We are almost on the same track here anyway, you're just trying to be argumentative.

I like how everyone here is all concerned about "saving the environment" so they can keep skiing.  You all realize the ski industry is not AT ALL good for the environment, right?  It's like everyone's saying, "Hey, save the environment, so I can help destroy it."

And some have opened a lot earlier than ever before.

Is climate change happening?  Absolutely, all the time.

Is global warming happening?  Not so sure.

Global warming could be happening, and it could be manmade.  I think, however, that we are being a bit extreme in our reactions to the supposed "man-made climate change." 

Everything has a cost.  There is a real cost incurred by trying to cap emissions, imposing taxes on carbon, and limiting certain manufacturing practices. (Especially when you consider that it will be nearly impossible to force large emerging nations to comply...think China and India can make cheap goods now?!)

I think many people have good intentions at heart when they say we should cut certain practices and live more green, but I am really afraid we are hurting ourselves for no reason.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT AL GORE.

Like I said, we were learning it as fact since primary school.
The huge fucking hole in the ozone over my country and other related factors that's got a direct impact on the environment (enjoy your sunburn/ cancer tourists)  where we live right now, all man made, that's growing, pretty much confirms that car exhaust and other emissions are fucking us over.
Yeah it's natural for temperature to fluctuate, but if I look at the graphs that the guy posted on page one, we've moved it forwards hundreds of years in only a few. I don't want to see what happens if that continues.

Al Gore? Fuck me.

Once again, association != causation. That's like me saying that an increase in crop yield is caused by car exhaust. It could be, but there are still many other factors.

haha took the words directly from my mouth

anyone who based on a theory! calls other people retarded or ignorant. is IMO just that.

Those graphs just showed how much global temperatures have fluctuated for the millions of years that humans were doing nothing, so that doesn't support your argument.

Basically, I think all of us should agree that global warming is a theory.  To say it is fact is arrogant since not everyone agrees.  If it was fact, it would be plain and easy enough that we wouldn't be split 50-50 here.  That being said, we don't really know what is going on, if anything.  We have been polluting for only 150 years, and the earth has withstood millions of years of change without us.  If there is a problem, our efforts to "Go Green" have no downsides (except they are a little pricey, but I guess it's worth it) so let's just move forward with that.  No one on here is going to sway people from the other side, so let's just all agree to keep Earth pretty so that we can enjoy our nature hikes and the Discovery Channel.

I just want you to be aware that in your country not everyone is agreed. Everywhere else pretty much has it sorted.

And while consensus isn't the same as 'proof', like you say, evolution isn't 'proven'. That grass is the colour green is debatable. That we're not all not just in the matrix is debatable. But we don't go there
