Welcome to our forum.
No...you Canadians will be sitting on some super duper prime real estate in, ohhhhh.....3-4 hundred years at the currnt pace, unless of course it turns and gets cold gain and the ocean currents shift back and ice gets thicker in the next 100 years as has happened in the past.
[size=36]PHEWWW ![/size] At least now I can relax, knowing that this will not effect Canada and that we Canadians have not contributed to GW in any way
My dad used to piss me off by saying "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."The context when I was 10 was that I was not doing much about my brothers squabbling.The context when I was a teen usually had something to do with household chores, or again, my brothers and my ability to silently make them seem guilty of something.I figured out when I was about 16 that there was a much bigger context.Seems that some of us still have to figure that out.
Quoting web sites is not proof. Peer reviewed scientific studies are proof. Any review or analysis of the scientific evidence shows support for the "global warming" issue. For example, a Science Magazine article (3 December 2004) showed that of 928 research articles that mentioned global warming in their abstracts, 75% supported the idea that humans are causing global warming. 25% mentioned global warming, but did not directly attribute a cause. But ZERO percent - not one single study - refuted human-caused global warming. Quote all the web sites and "experts" you want. I would be very interested in hearing about any study of the literature that showed otherwise. If the conclusions mentioned above - which are also the conclusions mentioned in the recent IPCC report and Al Gore's video - are wrong, then you are correct and global warming is a myth, and I will gladly recant everything I have said.
DP, When you say any review or all the researchers come to this or that point leads me to question that. I think what campsalot was saying is for all the opinions claiming humans are causing GW you can find a substantial amount of equally educated opinions to the contrary.
I don't disagree with GW but question weather it is man made or a natural occurence. Maybe Hoax was a poor choice of words. I find it interesting that if someone agrees with me we get called names and our sources are puppets of big oil. As somebody said follow the money and it leads to lots of GOVERNMENT Grants and painting the US as the worst. One simple comment on renewable resources. There are more trees in the US today than 100 yrs ago. Source the Arbor Day Foundation. Bottom line is we do need to conserve more and use less.
I'm assuming you are still listing yourself as part of the problem Anne? As we all are, if there is a problem?
Yes, we are all part of the problem, but that was not my point.Any yes, of course there is a problem. There is no "if." This thread has started to bum me out.
