Ah...the prophets of doom...gotta love 'em. Your post reminds me of the Asimov short story "Nightfall." Know that one?....A planet has multiple suns that all rise and set at different times, so there is never darkness of a night sky, only perpetual dayalight. But there is a prophecy of pending doom, the end of the world. And there are religious cults based on this prophecy...one of their "rituals" is to "make blind" their followers by sticking metal spikes into their eyes, leaving their followers to go through life being blind ( as a precaution against witnessing the "inevitable" impending "doom"). Life goes on for thousands of years like this ...until one day, one fateful day when the cosmic alignment of the multiple stars puts their orbits in a such a way that they all set below the horizon...revealing the night sky...the darkness of the night sky, that is until the "maddenning" brilliance of 30,000 suns from their surrounding globular cluster overwhelms the sanity of all men gazing upon it. The point here is why poke your eyes out from fear of the end of the world...either it won't really be so terrible, or you'll be dead anyhow.

Man, for a bunch of people who purport to be independents you guys sure follow a conservative viewpoint. You guys have not shown me one actual fact to repudiate my arguments. Yes the planet is cyclical, so isn't the sun for that matter, however the rate of change is not as sudden as we have seen. The little ice age was caused by 1 volcano spewing gases into the air, we have had a sharp rise in ocean temperatures, that can be directly correlated with the increase in greenhouse gas emissions put into our atmo, hero the last major swing you are talking about in the planets history caused a major planet-wide culling of species and was caused by massive volcanic eruptions releasing tons of gas into the air, i.e. the same stuff we are now burning...ugh I hate having to repeat the same things I have previously said...seriously if you have something that can actually disprove the global warming argument by all means otherwise it's like Jayne trying to argue with the doctor, he simply just doesn't get it.
Here's a question for you, why are you guys fighting so hard against people who desire to keep the planet clean and habitable for humans? Is sustainability so bad?
when there are no heroes where will we turn?

avenging - You're giving into hysteria. The Polar Bears will be fine. The ice in the Arctic is back, and thicker than it's been in yrs. What? Famine in Africa ? Shudder ! Never known that to happen there- ever! Paris heat wave deaths? You mean when most the hospitals were closed because everyone was away on 'Holiday' a few yrs ago ? That was a disaster caused more by cultural and Gov't inequities, not 'global warming' . Wildfires? Hey, that's nature. Happened here in the U.S. as well. Likely for the same reasons, poor land management which doesn't allow for the clear cutting of under brush. Oooops!
Here's a news flash - The climate is always in flux. It gets colder, it gets warmer. That's been happening to this planet's weather for a few billion yrs. Fact is ,it's RARE where things 'settle down' so there are no wild fires, no floods, no seasons which are too cold or too hot. Rare it is that a strong storm doesn't pop up from time to time. Katrina and the hurricanes of '05 ? Wasn't that supppose to be the norm for the future ? But why have the last 2 yrs been so damn quiet ? We're suppose to have worse and worse storms....well ?
Calm down, chicken little. The sky ain't falling.
p.s.- and as for human suffering ? Point to a time when humans didn't suffer? It's called survival. I'd bet we suffer less today, as a species, than we did during our first 100,000 yrs.

I wasn't aware that a Browns game - or life in Ohio, for that matter - really COULD be less enjoyable...
So, all you who say that those who believe global warming is an actual, real phenomenon, and that man and civilization have had SOME impact on same - you call us crazy, you say we're preaching the end of the world...
And then you go and say WHAT about terrorism? You try to convince us that if we don't vote for the Nazi party - er, I mean the REPUBLIKKKAN party - then we're opening the gates to let terrorists into the country, and our way of life will be destroyed.
Reminds me of a little note I saw:

Can I quote you on that next time you get on your soapbox about "Islamo-Fascists" (as opposed to YOUR breed of Christo-fascists)? Next time you start crying, whinging, and bitching about terrorists and how they're out to kill us all because they hate our freedoms and are all evildoers, can I just quote your own words back to you?
The sky ain't falling, you're always going to suffer, it's always something, and you're safer than you think.
Why don't you dipshits on the right declare a war on weather? It kills far more people in this country than terrorists do!

What?
You 'heard it somewhere'?
Makes that about as credible as Saddam's active WMD.
