"And yet, here we are. Earth all rotating and full of life.
Takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin'."
But not the same as before. And it changed in seconds. And that is the point.
Jus b/c something's been around a long time doesn't mean it can't change catastrophically and nearly instantaneously.
BTW the Chicxulub impact was minor compared to this one:

The 300-mile-wide (Wilkes) crater lies hidden more than a mile beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. And the gravity measurements that reveal its existence suggest that it could date back about 250 million years -- the time of the Permian-Triassic extinction, when almost all animal life on Earth died out.
Its size and location -- in the Wilkes Land region of East Antarctica, south of Australia -- also suggest that it could have begun the breakup of the Gondwana supercontinent by creating the tectonic rift that pushed Australia northward.

"But the scare politics of accusing mankind of causing global warming, or even of affecting it on a significant scale, are in my opinion, disingenuous and dangerous."
So you don't base your opinion on science but on politics ?

I'm always at a loss as to why anyone responds to Hero when he posts such non-sense. I mean seriously, the guy doesn't have a clue as to the difference between weather and climate and flatly refuses to be educated on the subject no matter how many links and/or explanations are posted. They guy's a lost cause. Just let him be in his personal pocket dimension where he is always right regardless of any of those pesky facts.

The largest scientific consensus agrees with global warming, to put it in context theres more support for 'man made' global warming than there was for evolution and einstian physics.
That's bullshit. Most of that 'consensus' is nothing more than political grandstanding. The sun increases in activity, it gets warmer here. As it does on Mars.
I'm really fucking tired of having this discussion over and over and over. I'm done w/ it. Y'all go play w/ yourselves.

Quote:No, the REAL point is that NOTHING is the same as before. The Earth has been in CONSTANT change since day 1. The idea of a 'pristine, age old ' enviroment which has been undisturbed since the dawn of time is a flat out myth.

Rap
And yet
- the sun is NOT increasing in activity beyond very small amounts (0.1%)
- only the south pole of Mars is affected
- other planets are getting colder

It's the sun, it doesn't NEED to increase activity very much. ANY is enough.
Does it really matter that one pole is affected more than the other ?
Other planets aren't getting colder.

No. If I linked the study would you actually read it. Or just blow on past the facts like you always do ?
Both poles are affected.
Again, no. And again if I linked the study would you actually read it. Or just blow on past the facts like you always do ?
Other planets aren't getting colder.
Yes they are. And again if I linked the study would you actually read it. Or just blow on past the facts like you always do ?
BETTER YET - YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE ALL THIS INFORMATION. IT'S THE SUN ! MARS IS WARMING UP ! THE PLANETS ARE ALL GETTING WARMER !!!
HOW ABOUT YOU BACK UP YOUR ASSERTIONS JUST ONCE

Quote:Actually that's been refuted, quite soundly. It's based on the Martian southern pole ice cap receeding, but the Northern Pole is spreading so Mars isn't warming up on a global scale at all.
The sun increases in activity, it gets warmer here. As it does on Mars.
Quote:Ok, but you might want to look into why you can't hold your temper over a divergent opinion. Cognative Dissonance?

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
