    i do believe in global warming i think its a very serious issue especially if we are most of the reson thats making it bigger and we can help. but no ppl just push it off to the side and assue that global warming will go away on its own and it wont unless we try and make a difference and help. and think of the upcomming children they dont wanna expierience such trgdy and if we can help. and think of the pollar bear in the artic and all that all of them are dieing because of the melting ice and the climate change they cant get food becuase they are getting stranded on a piece of ice and wat if they can't swim. theres a whole bunch more to this problem in which we can solve.

    I did unil 1998. Then it started to get cooler so I quit believing in it. I'll believe in it again when it starts warming up again. Of course, after that, when it starts cooling again I'll quit believing in it until...

    If you do any research at all, you would know that the global climate is cooling significantly this year. Arctic ice has replenished to the highest levels in the past 20 years. The polar bears are safe and sound and hoping to munch on foolish wandering Greenpeacers.

    The whole concept of global warming is an amazing scam. Think of it, we have declared anything omitting carbon dioxide as an enemy of the planet. That includes every living animal on the planet.

    Nevermind that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by natural means, that is things dieing and rotting exceeds all of the man made carbon dioxide by a factor of 50 to 1.

    And let's just toss into the pot that carbon dioxide is not even close to the biggest greenhouse gas. You know what the worst greenhouse gas is all you tofu eating morons? Its water vapor, you freaking idiots. Want to regulate that too?

    Maybe its just a sign that it is time for our species to say good-bye. Maybe Devo was right. We have de-evolved. Are we not men? No! We are Devo!

    Yeah, sure, but I think it`s a natural thing & we humans have barely scratched the worlds climate. 20 years ago, the same people were warning us about the next ice-age.

    evil drag don't mock the oponents in a debate.....I believe it's fake because if you say what GW is in a nutshell then it'll turn you off. What is it in a nut shell? It is saying the world is going to end in 50 or so odd years because we are developing and if we use inefficiant technology and help fund scientist so we can turn that all around.

    I believe what is proven fact. It warms, it cools. The question is are we causing it, and if so can we change it. I believe that answer is no. And stop with the poor polar bears. If in fact the sea ice determines their population,,,, listing them will leave more to die a long painful death by starvation.

    More scientific evidence man made CO2 does not cause climate change. More truth than Al Gore knows. Even a Judge points out his lies.

    I believe that, whether it's real or not, people should quit it with the debates and conserve fuel, use alternative energy sources and take care of ourr planet.

    the whole "GW debate" is far too polarized and political. every day I see just as much "concrete, irrefutable proof" that the arctic is melting and the forests are dying as I do just the opposite side of the spectrum. people saying the arctic ice has never been greater.

    Lets see, in our country when it reach the month of march to june, there is seldom rain mostly good hot weather. These year, thunderstorms and severe rain was experienced during feb-march even huge waves that left streets underwater for weeks and destroyed hundreds of houses near our shorelines . & The mostly good hot weather then is now extremely hot, those kind that gives sunburns and heat strokes. Heat strokes that can kill (someone did died in our city) and ones that gives you headaches. Its happening more and more than you think.
    The weather was crazy.

    The earth temperature is in constant flux. The globe will warm and cool as it has done for 4 billion years. Man has nothing to do with it.

    Temperatures are highly dependent upon the formation of clouds, solar radiation, and geothermal activity. Man’s contribution to warming is negligible because our input into the environment is dwarfed by nature.

    I can't stay quiet any longer about the politics of this land. I have been contacting my senators and congressman about a couple of issues, and they were very glad to hear from me. Here are the 2 issues:

    1. The senate is voting soon on the Supplemental Spending Bill for the Iraq War, and Diane Feinstein put in an amendment to grant amnesty to 1 million ILLEGAL immigrants because the produce is not getting picked in time. Our economy is in so much trouble, and there are lots of LEGAL citizens that need the money and would be willing to work in agriculture. There are plenty of youth that need good, hard-working jobs to earn them the money they need for college, cars, etc. Feinstein's amendment is very inappropriate. Once you start the amnesty policy, there will be no end. I just saw a presentation on how excessive immigration will undo our country in many ways...too far to mention.

    2. Our country has lots of oil reserves in many states and out in the surrounding oceans. We have the technology to drill for it in a responsible way to conserve the environment. The Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah have oil shale that can be successfully developed for oil, and the Energy Policy of 2005 directed the BLM to lease these lands to those willing to develop the shale oil. Now a moratorium was imposed as part of the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2008 to NOT allow the BLM to lease land for shale oil development.

    It is my opinion that we should be calling our representatives and letting them know we will not vote for them if they don't allow us to glean our own oil resources in our own land and help our own people and our economy. To go begging to Saudi Arabia for more oil is humiliating and unnecessary. This is the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world to take our money by the billions and give it to countries that are not friendly to us and then prohibit our own people from providing for themselves.

    I have sent this out to many in different states. If we each do our part, and spread the word, something can be done about this situation. We the people are still in charge if we will take the responsibility. I had a very good experience calling my representatives, both Republican and Democrat. Their phone numbers were in the phone directory.

    Thanks for reading, and I hope you will take action.

    I believe that the earth is a living breathing entity, and if it is warming, then it would be like us having a fever. Increase temperatures until the infections can no longer maintain healthy living.

    What do our bodies do when bacteria or viruses leech off vital fluids and tissues?
    The earth is not in trouble, we are.

    I believe in global warming and global cooling, since it has been part of natural events ever since life first began on our planet billions of years ago.

    If the question is if I believe that man has any influence on global climatic changes the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!

    Any proper science would back back up my statement.

    Let us allow science to have a voice and finally bring an end to this lunacy so we can begin to improve things which we do have control over.

    Global Warming cannot be based upon a belief system it either is supported by accumulated data or it is not.
