| 833394 | 2009-11-25 10:13:00 | Yes it's absolutely ridiculous to propose that, whereas once there were only a few million of us on the Earth and now there is more than 6 billion using coal, burning oil, destroying the forests by burning and cutting them down, constructing millions of internal combustion engines and running them on fossil fuels, trawling many fish out of the oceans to virtual extinction, this usage of the planets resources could in any way cause the climate to change. How can supposedly intelligent people be so stupid as to think that humans could in any way be responsible for climate change? Explain how taking fish out of the oceans affects the climate? I'm afraid the whole climate change bullshit just diverts attention away from many of the real environmental issues that need attention. It's nothing but a tax scam. Furthermore, even if man was affecting the climate (which we are not), what we are proposing to do about it is quite pathetic. What annoys me is that people who subscribe to the theory that man is responsible immediately label 'skeptics' as irresponsible and not caring for the environment. Nothing could be further from the truth. |

I'm afraid the whole climate change bullshit just diverts attention away from many of the real environmental issues that need attention. Problem is climate change IS an environmental issue. In the world we live in now scientists are paid to highlight results that put the payers' agendas forward but at least the local negative impacts of greenhouse gases are ascertained to a fairly high degree. It's nothing but a tax scam. Furthermore, even if man was affecting the climate (which we are not), what we are proposing to do about it is quite pathetic. Most of it probably is scam. After all what rich man would want to care about others' environments when they can pay their way out of smog and weather extremes? Indeed, I agree with you on this point. What annoys me is that people who subscribe to the theory that man is responsible immediately label 'skeptics' as irresponsible and not caring for the environment. Nothing could be further from the truth. The same can be said for the folks on the other side of the boat. However I need to stress that yes, weather changes due to a plethora of reasons, but what humans are doing right now (as pointed out by zqwerty, probably minus the fishing) are accelerating and worsening climate change, at least on local scales. It comes to mind to a recent report I did for my environmental paper at uni. The ocean has once been regarded as a place way too vast to be able to be affected by human waste. Of course we now know that is a flawed and entirely false notion. Debris, chemical waste/byproducts, sewage etc is widely known to cause destruction to marine habitats, fishing industries, local economies; in all, the ocean health is affected. A researcher once conducted a study on marine debris - he went out to some remote, uninhabited islands in the Pacific and guess what he found - hundreds of man-made debris. Perhaps it is the same with the atmosphere? It's too vast.....too blue....too high up for mankind to even make dent on. Just take a look at out ocean. Probably not a fair comparison, I know but the idea remains the same. I doubt 6.6 billion humans (and rapidly increasing) can have no impact whatsoever on the climate, little or big. |

| 833397 | 2009-11-25 22:03:00 | The worlds population is NOT increasing ! Kaaa? the West only makes up like 20% of the total worlds population, overall the worlds population is still rapidly increasing. What a bizzare post. Please post those figures!! |

| 833398 | 2009-11-25 22:37:00 | The main cause of the greenhouse effect is actually water vapor. It is completely natural. I wrote a speech about it last year but I can't seem to find it lol. Google it if you are more interested. | xyz823 (13649) | ||
| 833399 | 2009-11-25 23:40:00 | I sleep easy at night because my science teacher at Mot High in the seventies told us we were going into another ice age. So warming from CO2 will mitigate the cooling and everyone can just shut up about natural **** we have no control over. |

I don't know where you are coming from. The following link makes interesting reading. In this link you can plot any country against the whole world. www.google.com These are the latest figures I can find. Please publish your figures and source. Note that any percentage above zero will indicate a growth of population. |
