@Makron5

The earth goes through phases of heating and cooling. There have been 4 significant Ice Ages, as well as one minor Ice Age from which the earth is still recovering. There is geological evidence to support that. I agree that pollution and consumption of fossil fuels is not helping the earth, but it's not destroying the planet. To think that humans can destroy the earth by blowing smoke is both arrogant and ignorant. Al Gore has a own private jet and a $50 million house for goodness sake.

@canefan17 No, people other than scientists are allowed to have an opinion. But this is something beyond opinion. What is the monetary or political gain that scientists are hoping for by saying global climate change is an issue?

global warming is a misnomer btw guys. just because its cold or warm in particular areas doesn't mean something strange isn't happening. slight temperature changes in the ocean affect currents which in turn affect weather systems.

This is a response to the "top comment" by nickgrad2010. Humans CAN destroy the earth with pollution. Obviously you live in a nice place where you have people picking up the trash and you never see what happens to it. Well, go to some other countries and you'll see the harsh reality. There are humans who are suffocating in smog, drinking water that has more chemicals than i can think of, and living on a pile of trash. Go live there, and tell me we're not the cause.

@nickgrad2010 Indeed we have gone through cycles of warming and cooling. However, we have sped it up out almost of control. I'm not saying we're destroying the planet, but we are certainly making things worse. Al Gore, he's just using what's available and mass produced. We should do something, but certainly not panic. That's the last thing we need.

man ti*ies to lactate XD

@huchezampira Indeed, it is so obvious that the people with the most to gain are the global warming deniers - powerful corporations.

[squamish4244]

@026SH It is a problem if there are seven billion people dependent on the current climate. A change of the order of magnitude of previous epochs would have devastating effects on food production.

[026SH]

@TheWatzitooya I assume you mean Anthropogenic Global Warming is myth, because I think it's pretty obvious that it is a bit warmer than it was 150 years ago. I don't say it's a problem, but I am pretty sure they're right on that. What the cause is on the other hand, is very debatable.

[026SH]

@squamish4244 He didn't deny that people might have effect, he just said it's arrogant to think we are able to DESTROY the earth by just heating it up 2 degrees (let's assume for a moment it really is our fault, because it lacks some proof). It has been warmer and it has been a lot cooler, there have been moments that almost all life on this planet was gone, but it recovered everytime. Warming up until a point where the earth has been numerous times really isn't a problem.

@huchezampira thank you finally someone that understands

[jowdemanne]

@nickgrad2010 Wow damn, americans are really that ignorant and arrogant -__-'

[squamish4244]

@nickgrad2010 To think 7 billion humans *won't* have a major and potentially very serious effect on the earth is arrogant and ignorant. We now consume about one quarter of ALL plant life on the planet, and have substantially altered the carbon and nitrogen cycles. The science is very strong on that. And forget Al Gore, he is an easy target for ad hominem attacks. What about climate expert James Hansen, whom the Bush Administration tried to silence when he spoke out about climate change?
