    Did you watch the little puppet girl put on her little crying face and give her speech? What an over played act. It was so scripted I actually felt bad for the girl. Horrible deal for her really.

    I love how not one person talking about climate change ever brings up what solar flares do. Or the increased radiation we received from moving out of a cloud in space recently. Like it’s ridiculous. And this little girl just looks so sad all the time. She literally looks miserable because of brainwashing. Her parents should be locked up.

    Wow. A 40 year old article that reads just like today's...

    A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

    Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

    He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

    As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

    rising seas...huh?? Is the Earth 75% water anyway?? What if the planet was 85% water prior to man started raping the resources?

    If you believe their measurements, he was actually right (barely). He said 1 to 7 degrees of warming in the next 30 years. It was about 1 degree, so he just squeezed into the range. He also did't say when those other events would occur, but gave a timeline of when we would have to change out behavior so that it wouldn't happen.

    This all pretty much goes along with my theory that there is climate change and man is moving the needle, but the amount of warming, dire predictions, and worst case scenarios are way overblown. If people in the middle ages can adapt and get through the little ice age, admittedly with some strife, modern man can certainly get through the global warming period.

    It's worth repeating...

    Every hypothesis about AGW has been wrong. Not some, not even some were right, not even a shred of data supporting any of it to be true. Attempts have been made including moving temperature stations to warmer spots, "adjusting data" collected from mid century to show a warming trend that doesn't exist, rebranding it as climate change, and ignoring all of the OG scientists that started the AGW theory who have unanimously said they were wrong. Then there are the numerous doomsday civilization expiration dates that have come and gone.

    I always tell people to go back and watch gore's first movie and that will "settle" your fears once and for all.

    Nope, has not happened. This is just plain wrong. Great efforts were made to "adjust" the data, people were caught red handed doing it and not held accountable.

    Let him believe his fairy tale. I never told kids that Santa and the Easter Bunny didn't exist. I just let them figure it out on their own.

    One side says climate change is huge and going to kill us all. The other side says it is all a hoax and nothing is happening. As usual in these cases, the truth is in the middle.

    The bottom line is climate change has always happened and will always happen. The best thing we can do is be prepared for it and be adaptable. Humans have always been good at that and I see no reason for that to change. As solar and wind are able to compete in the marketplace without assistance (or at least without any more assistance than the fossil fuel industry gets), let them come into the market place. Even the cleanest burning fossil fuel plant still puts out other crap besides CO2 that we really would rather not have in the air if we have a choice. The big hurdle now is battery / storage that doesn't cause environmental issues for manufacturing and disposal. High efficiency lighting and appliances generally pay for themselves in the long term, so why not have them?

    Climate changes. Period. The best path is responsible use of resources, the market is driving research into alternatives and efficiencies (LEDs are a prime example), and don't panic. In far too many cases, the knee jerk panic reactions make things worse, not better. In other words, a rational plan.

    Nothing is wrong with working towards a better light bulb. Capitalism is and has always been doing the work. Net power is the cleanest fossil fuel to date, CO2 recapture has proven viable and working. Nuclear is working towards the recycling the fuel rods. Trees reduce the carbon and we have more acreage than in past. The climate change movement is not about saving the planet, it is about changing over to socialism. What has socialism done for anyone?

    Will this happen before or after the next ice age gets here they predicted back in the late 70's? I just need to know what to pack for my next camping trip.

    Ummmm, no. Those saying it is a hoax (other than a few nutjobs of course) are not talking about climate change or even global warming - they are talking about the hoax that is mankind is causing an unprecedented amount of change or warming. Mother nature is doing her thing so yes the climate is changing and the planet is warmer than it was in the past. Also cooler than other times in the past...

    Totally agree. Nothing wrong with trying to live cleaner and such. Hell, I prefer LED lighting to incandescent or fluoros. Just don't force mt to do things and tell me that my actions are killing the planet when that is utter bullshit.

    It has been proven beyond doubt that excessive pie consumption leads to greenhouse gas emissions.
