Propaganda, baby.

The Polar Ice caps are submerging, not melting- the ice is getting heavier, that's all.

You're an idiot and a Terrorist. I bet you’re a member of friends of the ice you pro-freezist!

George Bush is encouraging the use of Fossil fuels and unnecessarily inefficient Cars as part of his war on Ice. For too long water has been locked frigid in its icy cells in the North and South poles, or axis of icicles.

The ice is not 'melting' or 'getting heavier', the water is being liberated.

LOL!!! (chanting) Free water, free water, free water!

I'm not going to do research to prove global warming here...

and I didn't read past the beginning of the article, because it is so obviously not a matter of journalism but of propaganda.

"hundreds" of specialists believe Gore's movie was bunk.

I'll assume that the article isn't outright misstating facts, and accept that 'hundreds' do. Hundreds of scientists on a global scale does not impress me much.

That fraction of a fraction crap that attempts to narrow down the scientists who 'matter'- that fraction which says that global warming is real and urgent, is never once given a number by the writer. That could only mean that the figure of remaining specialists who support the reality of global warming is much greater than mere 'hundreds,' or else the article would use a factual number rather than "common sense" talk to debunk the notion that the scientific community has solidarity on this.

The article has shown itself to be less interested in fact than agenda, and so, does not warrant relevance on this serious subject.

I personally blame the Bush Administration for Chrisisall. They should be ashamed of themselves! (Now if I can just find PirateJenny to back me up...)

"The thing is I don't care whether or not we are responsible for it, I care about how it effects us.

I mean imagine for a moment that it is a totally natural process that has nothing to do with people. Isn't it our duty as living things to fight that natural process with all of our strength in order to preserve the species?

I like nature as much as anyone, but there comes a point where I have to look at things and say, "Self preservation is natural too," and fight the natural processes that would leave us dead. Human beings aren't evolving anymore, we've cut natural selection of out the equation and that means we need things to remain as they are here and now, however unnatural that might be."

Hi all,

As someone who believes that our Earth goes through climate changes naturally, I thought I'd put my opinion out there.

I believe it is the responsibility of human beings to survive. (Just as it is the responsibility of all species to survive.) I do not believe that survival depends on our ability to resist the natural order of the planet. Rather, I believe our survival depends on adapting to the natural order of the planet.

That means building shelters because it rains. It does not mean trying to find a way to prevent the rain.

That means not building your house on the side of a volcano or in the valley beneath it.

That means that you either don't live in quake country, or you build a house that can shimmy.

That means that you either don't build in flood zones, or you build a house above the ground and prepare for water.

That means if you build a house near a coastline, you build it to withstand coastal storms.

I think that we have historically suffered more death because of a failure to adapt than we have because of natural disasters. The human race could even survive an ice age if we saw it coming (which we would) and chose to prepare for it (which is questionable.)

There are good reasons to abandon limited resources in favor of unlimited resources. Making this choice aids our survival independent of any climactic concerns. It just doesn't make sense to rely on something that will get scarcer and scarcer when there is something infinitely abundant available for use.

I'm with all the tree-huggers when they say to abandon oil and coal. I'm just in it for different reasons.
