Global warming may be bullshit, but we are coming out of an iceage, so the polars will melt whatever the hell we do about it, its just everyone gets told that its gonna be like the appocalypse or something.

Sharky, that's shit. What do you mean? My school gives us 5 snow days too- if school is closed fewer than 6 days per year, we lose no vacation time.  |

Um.. the problem with global warming is not that the Earth's temperature is changing, it's that it's happening too quickly. Species cannot adapt to the new conditions that will exist in 50 years, and thus we'll experience mass extinctions if the process is not halted. |

mmm but if climates change quickly then they'll change back quickly. rising CO2 levels produce more clouds, which reflect radiation away from the earth allowign it too cool down, causing CO2 levels to drop so on this process has been happening for billions of years we're just compressing the effect into 200 years...uhh oh anyone wanna work out the ratio? 1:20000000?
we're coming out of an ice age? i was always under the impression we were living in the post effects of an ice age, glaciers in iceland, greenland those kinds of places just been after effects that and proceeding not receeding

Nope, we are actually still in an ice age, untill the polars go anyway.

As far as I know, I thought we were out of an ice age that happened in the Middle Ages, and the next step is going back into one. :miffed: Mole- that's an interesting hypothesis you posed, and I've seen it somewhere before. However, since practically all scientists agree that global warming is a big threat, I'm inclined to take their side. The only way I can rebut your argument is: water vapor is a greenhouse gas too, and increasing levels of it in the atmosphere would probably cause some heating; if CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise because of human interference, then no matter how many clouds are around the climate will still get warmer; and even a small change and back in climate would severely hurt many species and ecosystems *points out how deserts such as the Sahara are expanding (yes, due to other reasons, but this one too) and more severe storms in the Atlantic and Pacific*  |

yeah but that took place in the space of a week. Of course not having experineced an Ice Age i couldn't tell you if that's how fast it takes but i highly doubt it takes that little time to have an Ice Age. I know there was a mini Ice Age a few hundred years ago in which the Baltic Sea froze over
