Umm ok.

[BagoXCAlum]

Yeah, its been pretty warm here too. Yesterday got up to 57 degrees (big deal in Illinois in January). Today was in the 30's, but gonna warm back up next week.

i run my stuff pretty much any day i feel like; rain, snow, hail, sleet, cloudy, sunny, or possibly even during an earthquake. snow doesnt hurt anything on em, in fact it kinda snowed here the other day and i got all excited because it meant i could run my scale chevy in the snow!

Um, your little heat wave has nothing to do with global warming. We have a warm winter going on, nothing else.


And thanking anybody for the real effects of global warming is pretty crappy. It is a real issue, and one in which the people of this planet need to take a little more seriously.

You've got a point about taking it seriously. All the penguins could die due to know where cold enough to live. :-(

we have been in a warming trend for the past few thousand years. If the icecaps melt then at least the population will get thinned out a bit. I doubt our piddly fossil fuel burning has half the effect of volcanic activity on global warming anyway. my $0.02

Ya up here in michigan its been 40 to 50 degrees, no snow disapointing for snowmobiling but ok for r/c's.... awesome for goin out and playin in the mud and rocks.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

[RIPPER357]

I'll gladly send anyone who wants it, all our snow, just pay shipping.
And I run both my TLTs in the snow.
BTW MOABs suck on ice.

This is one of those arguments that the facts mean nothing to the wackos. If you lean one way or the other, you are always right.

If the earth is getting hotter, and we caused it, we are smart enough to fix it, or be wiped out.

If the earth is getting hotter, and mother nature is doing it, we will either fix it or be wiped out.

OR, here is a "crazy" idea. This is part of a cycle that the earth goes through every 10,000 or 20,000 years and people 1000 years from now will look back and laugh at us.

I seem to remember back in grade school, the "big brains" telling us that if we kept cutting down the rain forest and burning fossil fuels, the earth would be uninhabitable by the year 2000. Still here.

A couple more little things, one valcano puts out more green house gases than man kind has in the past 100 years, and more methane seeps up from the bottom of the ocean every day than humans produce in a year.

We are a small part of this planet, not that important, this rock we spin around on can shrug us off any time it wants. I'm not saying to go crazy and trash the place, but blaming us for a tempeture change is like blaming a bad smell in a house on one fleas fart.

well, i guess you had better sell your nitro's, the car you drive, turn off the power to your house and start crapping in a hole! you are just as guilty as the rest of humanity if thats the case! just think how your life would be without oil.

So what would happen if the ice caps melt??? Answer: Nothing...Have you ever froze water in a glass??? What happens??? It swells over the top of the glass... And what happens to it when it thaws???It actually leaves less water in the glass...The person who said if the ice caps melt it would flood the earth must have been one hell of a scientist...:?

[clodbrett]

dude, seriously, you guys are wicked dumb. I was just making a joke about how warm the winter is.. I'm not trying to blow up your damn skirts.. Jesus.

And we've had warm winters here, for like 10 years straight. So It seems like more than just a few warm winters.

As far as thanking big oil, that part was a joke too. I recycle, I drive an economic vehicle, I'm as environmentally concious as the next guy if not more.

You guys pretty much remind me of the dumb4ss kids I see on the street friday nights, reving their honda's with VTEC's at me in my daily driver passenger car. My statement was meant for amusement, as CHIT CHAT.. as this area of the forum is so duely name.

So quit getting butt-hurt, you make me sick.

those of you who saw that my post was meant for enjoyment, and merely an observation, thanks. A sense of humor is a valuable thing to posess in todays world full of stick hidden in the rectum corpses.

So, enjoy the CHIT CHAT

Incidentally, only one of the continents large ice mass rests in water, the other rests on land, so if it melts, it will be like putting a garden hose into your kiddie pool, what happens then? it fills up and overflows..

The main ice covered landmass is Antarctica at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting. In fact in most parts of the continent it never gets above freezing.

At the other end of the world, the North Pole, the ice is not nearly as thick as at the South Pole. The ice floats on the Arctic Ocean. If it melted sea levels would not be affected. There is a significant amount of ice covering Greenland, which would add another 7 meters (20 feet) to the oceans if it melted. Because Greenland is closer to the equator than Antarctica, the temperatures there are higher, so the ice is more likely to melt


yeah.
there you go.

And how old is human existance on Earth? Bible folk say +/-5000 years, scientists say +/-12000 years, so an Earthly cycle that happens every 10-20K years is kinda a new experience to us homosapiens. Frog species are dying off, and many species of animals are being born "confused" (hermos, temps affect sex in many animals) and unable to reproduce.


How much proof do you want that the methane levels, C02 levels, and temps have raised greatly in the past two hundred years? Cows have been farting (and oceans), volcanos have been erupting for MUCH longer than this.............................and nothing can be compared to the rise of such things as compared to the past two centuries.

Call me a wacko all you want.........................but at least show me the evidence that proves that I am a wacko! I would love to believe that the world is safer than I know it is, prove it to me.






But at the same time......................I believe an asteroid will take us out before global warming, the "big" tsuanami, or the sun burning out will!!

[k9popo]

I dont think anyone is butt hurt at you its just a good topic that everybody is going to have an opinion on that is all...It seems your the only one that is "butt hurt" about anything....Good topic actually

yeah, theres one.
read the rest, theres more.
If you guys want to talk about global warming for real, we can there is good science involved, and new discoveries are made every day.

just remember, they threw Galileo in jail for saying the world wasn't flat...

I wonder if those guys that reved their VTECs actually passed English class..........................because they would probably have you beat in that department!!

But thanks for thinking of me as one of "those kids," since I am six years your elder!! So, STFU you stupid kid!!!

So you are saying that you live in my city, drive down the strip and rev your VTEC honda/acura/tincan at me while I am driving my non-souped up economy vehicle?

And as you can see, yet another butt-hurt post
criminey

Oh, and whats wrong with my english? I am not the best at typing, but it's not that bad..
