| 665173 | 2008-05-03 00:58:00 | As I see it now the Brazilian rainforest will be destroyed in just a matter of time. Maybe a century, maybe a half of that. May happen in my lifetime unfortunately. There are far too many people on this earth, and understandably most would want to feed their wives and children by any means necessary. I'm not necessarily saying loggers, poachers etc are evil people. They are trying to make a living, trying to simply keep their families alive. Overpopulation is why I don't support stem cell, etc. I'm looking at this in the long run. If humans today survive what is in the past unsurvivable - we're all screwed. Humans are wasteful, greedy and frankly a major threat to this planet. I dread the day when I sit down with my kids, telling them what rainforests were like; what lions or tigers or polar bears looked like. I dread telling them that their generation, and maybe even their next generations, will have to clean up the entire mess their grandfathers and grandmothers have made. |

We might be gone too... |

| 665179 | 2008-05-03 07:00:00 | I agree it is codswallop! It is all part of a natural cycle. There is no doubt in my mind there are too many humans on this planet and yes we are polluting this planet at an alarming rate, but there is much mis-information about global warming. | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 665180 | 2008-05-03 07:15:00 | The website DailyTech has an article and their story got picked up by the Drudge report, resulting in a wide distribution. In the DailyTech article there is a paragraph: “Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.” This drop in temperature is certainly very unusual. The fall of 0.595 degrees since Jan 2007 is the largest January-to-January drop in HAD CRU3 since 1875, and the biggest drop for any 12-month interval since -0.681 degrees in February 1974. The January temperature is the lowest for any month since 1994, and the lowest for a month unaffected by volcanic eruptions in 20 years. January 2008 was cooler than January 1932, even after all the downwards adjustments they have applied to the old data. |

| 665181 | 2008-05-03 08:29:00 | Climate change obviously exists. It always has and it always will. Droughts in Austrailia and other climate disasters of the like around the world have also always happened and always will. There are three main things that keep this subject to the fore in recent years: 1. Politicians know they can generate votes by frightening the voters. 2. Scientists know they can get grants to study the subject as long as they support the current view. They are ridiculed if they go against it. 3. We now have the news media to show us pretty much instantly and in great detail every new happening around the world. They also have a vested interest in keeping us frightened and watching. If you look at who makes money out of the climate change myth it is easy to see why it stays as a constant subject of conversation. Then of course there those who have an almost religious believe in all things "Green" they ignore anything which does not support their view of the world. I accept that I could well be wrong in what I currently believe but, if so, it is going to be at least 50 - 200 years before anyone can be certain either way. I like Metla's way to control the over population of the world so long as he arranges for it to happen a long long way from here. |
