Yeah. It's the cyclical opposite of an ice age and I really think it is
bunk. That is not to say that I don't think people should not live such
decadent lifestyles as they do but should rather try to live closer to
the land, so to speak, but that it seems to be the whipping boy for
everything that goes wrong these days. |

My opinion is that the scientific evidence is such that I believe global
warming is indeed fact.
The scientific evidence that I have seen does not prove it is man causing or
accelerating it, but logic would presume what we do does influence the
climate.
The thing is if we consider it "bunk" and do nothing it will be disastrous
if it should prove to be fact. In my opinion it is safer to err on the side
caution than to ignore it until it is too late.

Exactly. My lungs prove a lot of it to me. I don't need any other science
than that.

I, too, believe it is cyclical. We had global warming during the middle
ages and there were no cars, trains, buses, planes, or power plants. It
came, lasted as long as it wanted to, then returned to lower temperatures.
That is cyclical.
While I believe our planet is warmer, I believe it is the ultimate arrogance
to think there is anything we can do to reverse it when there are
underground coal fires in other countries that burn 20 to 200 million TONS
of coal every year. How is that for a carbon footprint.
I believe in re-use and re-purpose rather than using additional energy to
recycle. I abhor the deforestation of the rain forest so Brazil can make an
alternative fuel they will be willing to seel to the highest bidder. It is
costing more to make alternative fuel than to refine oil, and it is leading
to a higher cost of food as well. Why? Because the powers that be would
rather use our food for fuel instead of switch grass which is not used for
food, grows well all by itself, and can be harvested more than once a year.
Al Gore is a hypocrite who jets around the country, has a bigger footprint
in a month than most of us do in a year, then salves his conscience by
paying money to plant trees. Al Gore is just one more person looking for a
niche to keep himself in the public eye and make himself look relevant.
I believe in being frugal with money, energy, and time. I would like to
conserve as much as anyone, and do. However, that isn't going to have any
effect on global warming, and history will prove that it is cyclical and
Gore is clueless.

It may or may not be cyclical. If it is, we are certainly contributing
towards its acceleration.
Al Gore found his niche. He just wants to be relevant. What could be
better than a public figure with name recognition as the poster boy for
global warming, and keeping the issue in the public eye. That's not
necessarily bad.

I sure am not. I couldn't afford to contribute to it if I wanted to. |

Do you live off the "grid" now? Many people use alternative sources of
power like solar panels, etc. Their excess power goes back to the "grid"
and the electric companies even pay them for it. They grow their own
veggies, raise chickens and pigs in their backyard, and recycle almost
everything back into their homes. I saw this piece in NightLine about
this family in a California city doing exactly that, and they have
become mini celebrities in their neighborhood.

My brother-in-law owns a couple of businesses. They are in the process
of moving both to a new location, right around the corner from where he
grew up. It's an old mill building right on the river, and the building
is run solely on hydropower from the river.
Recent article in local paper about windwills. It would take more than
one, at least of the size they were describing, to run an entire house,
but if there were excess produced it goes back on the grid - apparently
your electric meter will run backward giving you credit with the power
company.
