global warming

okay, so some politicians are saying we must stop people from driving cars to save the universe from ultimate destruction and stuff like that. but are you falling for it?? are you going to sit there like a slug and pay up every time you exhale (or inhale for that matter)? or are you going to do research and form your own opinion like a non-coward?! i say it's a natural cycle that was here before cars. what do you think?next thing that might happen is al gore saying summers are caused by airplanes!!!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record_of_the_past_1000_years

Since you're my partner in crime, I find it hard to bash your discussion . . . but really . . . you've got to work on it. You can tell from the comments above that no one's listening, mostly because all your saying is, "IT'S A LIE!!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!!????! THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTROL YOU!!!!!!!"
Here are my tips; instead of venting your anger out, try to debate intellectually. Research, and back up everything you say with science and rationality. Just please, please, PLEASE get rid of all the exclamation points and question marks and bad grammar! It makes others feel like you're trying to shove it down their throats, or like you're a mad person yelling or something. Furthermore, the fact that you said, "Are you going to research and form your own opinion like a non-coward?" is hypocritical, seeing as you did not research anything yourself.
For others:
*During 1100 BC, we've experienced a global temperature peak DOUBLE the one we've recently experienced. Other graphs will only show you a small portion of time, but if you look at overall history, you will see that the earth has been much warmer before.
*Plants take in carbon dioxide, therefore it is a naturally occurring and necessary gas. If we're so worried about an increase of it, then why don't we just plant more trees?
*Cooling periods are far more dangerous than warming periods anyway.
*We are now moving away from global warming and are moving into global cooling, because these are natural cycles that happen to the planet. We've recently had record cold temperatures for a reason.
*Al Gore refuses to debate any scientist.
*More than 31,000 scientists argue against about global warming.
*There's no use trying to solve a non-existent problem.
*Things that help the environment: saving water, conserving electricity, recycling, planting, cleaning litter, etc.
*Things that don't help the environment (but apparently "help" global warming): taxes, clean coal, wasting money
Still have doubts? Check this out.
Just because it feels like everybody says it's true doesn't mean it is, and if no one ever spoke out, then we might as well still believe the sun goes around the earth because the Church said so.; ▶ Reply to This

Volcanoes don't cause it. a volcano emits sulfur dioxide, which blocks ou some of the sun's light, thus causing global cooling.
DIRECT QUOTE:"The Earth was warm in the early 11th century, and then it cooled down around the mid-1300’s, and around the late 19th century, the temperature gradually increased."

CO2 emissions have no real connection to the heating up of our planet and I'm glad to see that NF's realize this. The reason that Al Gore and his friends have been passing the blame torch to human's cars, planes, houses, and lives is that more control can be exertedo over the masses. The CO2 taxes are just going to be another way to keep the poor poor and the rich rich. Moreover, the taxes are going to aid in the reach for a global currency. They say that you can only pay with the global currency (which is recorded in a mircochip in your arm) and that if you don't pay, you will be imprisoned. All cars will be fitted with devices that measure CO2 emmisions Thus restricting travel. Global warming really does suck...; ▶ Reply to This
