So are there no scientists that say the opposite in that man made warming isn't enough? I thought there were...
If it happened 10,000 years ago. Then I imagine it was for reasons other than fossil fuel consumption. Thus it will come either way.
Admittedly, I was disappointed in the movie but I understand why they distorted the science in that manner. Much of the movie was accurate according to best available science. The Global Conveyor clearly moderates climate by redistributing heat energy from the Equator towards the poles. And clearly the Conveyor is dependent upon higher relative ocean salinities at higher latitudes. The melting of polar ice on a nongeologic time scale could indeed produce a change in the Global Conveyor on a nongeologic time scale . . . certainly not on a Hollywood time scale but still short enough to cause aberrant climate shifts.
The super storms were certainly pretty to look at, though.
Yes, there is a natural cycle to warming and cooling. However, in this case, it appears that humans have accelerated the onset of the warming cycle.
I just can't believe this as the temps are not getting warmer every year. Plus the world isn't 10,000 years old
This issue should take a far back seat to the war and OBL and pretty much everything else ATM.
And whos gonna pay for a global warming initiative? US? Yeah probably. You want bush to stop spending, then you suggest actions like this?

Anyone who thinks human activity and volcanos are not part of nature or the natural process have something to learn about nature.
Yes, they are. Go look at the research.Originally posted by: BAMAVOO

And, yes, it's not 10,000 years old. Who said it was?
I didn't read the whole article (except bolded points) but didn't see anything about China in there. Is China going to go along with this report? Are they going to make laws curbing their pollution as well?
I haven't heard anything and was just wondering. If they haven't, then I agree with the Bush administration about losing American jobs. All these laws are making it more expensive for a company to operate in the US.

What's Bush doing about bin Laden? Remember, "I'm truly not that concerned about him."
As for global warming, Kyoto had about every other nation on the planet involved. It was and is a global effort that the U.S. disengaged from completely under Bush.
What are you, the head of CIA? Do you have high security clearence at the Pentagon?
The public knows little of our actual foreign operations. You sound as if you think OBL has been pardoned. Well you are wrong IMO, but feel free to say what you believe..
But, but... Bush is supposed to do something about the jobs!!! The government owes me a job!
Why *does* China have no responsibility?
IIRC, China was essentially given the same responsibilites as third-world countries. I may be wrong, but I'm sure somebody will correct me quickly if I am.
That is completely ridiculous then. No wonder all these jobs are going over to China.
I agree that something needs to be done about global warming. Every country has to be held accountable to some sort of equal standard.
yes, your sarcasm meter is broken
i was just trying to say that this administration's love of the word "market" and how it takes care of everything doesn't work with environmental problems. the market doesn't give a damn how much it pollutes or causes environemental havoc until its too late, unless there is some government intervention to stop it in time - intervention which it seems we won't be seeing from this administration.

when bush 'disengaged from it' the reason given was that china and india weren't included. maybe if the pussies in europe were concerned more with actual results rather than appeasing the shortsighted, narrow-visioned greens they could have done something about it. but apparently they don't actually care either! hell, for all you know these objections were brought up when the thing was being debated 7 years ago but were thoroughly rejected (which they probably were, policy people aren't stupid). why bother wasting political capital on it if it has just recently been rejected?
