I don't know for sure, but I'm following that which seems most logical. The scientists who don't believe that man is causing the bulk of global warming are blowing holes in the IPCC's sinking ship. <BR/><BR/>It's ironic that you said in your comments to my "God is a scientist" post that people don't want to hear views that go contrary to their religion. This is exactly how I think the IPCC feels. It is their religion. Al Gore spoke at University of Oklahoma yesterday (day before?) and called his crusade against global warming "moral" and "spiritual".

Who are you to disagree with the majority of scientists on a subject they have expertise in and you don't? Isn't that arrogance?Anne Rettenberg LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924529514196589677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-90747122720128656152007-03-02T09:14:00.000-07:002007-03-02T09:14:00.000-07:00I have just begun reading "Unstoppable Global Warm...I have just begun reading "Unstoppable Global Warming" by Fred Singer, and the thesis, much of which you state in your comment, if very believable. He also states that many of those invested in the scare have a lot to gain by perpetuating it.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine, when they saw I was reading the book, said 'So what are we supposed to do, just ignore the problem, and hope we all don't die?' To which I responded, 'There is fortunately not a problem.' (Unless, however, you consider the scare mongering that is going on by un-qualified scientists, along with politicians and hollywood stars and starlets posing as such.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-7621892401974362112007-03-02T09:06:00.000-07:002007-03-02T09:06:00.000-07:00I guess I am "mired in your ignorant views about g...I guess I am "mired in your ignorant views about global warming being part of a 'natural cycle.'" also because I just can't see cycles that have been in place for billions of years altering because of 200 plus years of industrialization.<BR/><BR/>Global warming is a natural occurance. Just as natural as livestock and trees (yes, trees), vegatation and melting bogs produce methane which is worse that co2.<BR/><BR/>I believe we need to be careful because the more people we put and keep on this earth the more our resources will be used up but to say that the "problem of global warming" is man-made - I don't buy in to it all.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938138049783743560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-46464103905965012582007-03-01T07:14:00.000-07:002007-03-01T07:14:00.000-07:00I admit I haven't seen the movie.

I would rather watch documentaries (i.e. productions that aren't politically polarized.)<BR/><BR/>Forgive my ignorance about natural global warming. I got it from my study of science and how there have been historical cycles of warming and cooling.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-44193941461226330802007-02-28T19:05:00.000-07:002007-02-28T19:05:00.000-07:00I never liked Al Gore.

The movie was good in the way it illustrated the problem of global warming. <BR/><BR/>Have you seen the movie? It doesn't sound like it. You still seem to be mired in your ignorant views about global warming being part of a "natural cycle." <BR/><BR/>It's really just common sense. How could we release zillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere without it having an effect on the atmosphere? How could we cut down zillions of acres of trees without it having an effect on the environment?<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be so harsh on Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio has a pretty good website on the environment.Anne Rettenberg LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924529514196589677noreply@blogger.com
