[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 68411, member: 126"] Re: Hurricane Sandy Perhaps that's it.. I am not a college graduate. :-( Um, lets see if I can argue the opposite of what I believe (for fun). The global temperature would be constant and unchanging, if we pathetic loser humans, didn't selfishly burn limited fossil fuels and release carbon into the atmosphere, causing the globe to warm up and destroy life as we know it. We need to immediately stop using fossil fuels, which will concurrently stop this warming trend and put a smilie on mother natures face. The international and government organizations taxing carbon or trying to, have no personal agenda and are only thinking of us since we are not smart enough to act in our own best interest. We can't possible be as smart as they are. ============== Seriously now, no need for name calling. There is no debate that global temperature is changing. It has before and will again. There are multiple questions and issues surrounding this topic, and the reality of recent temperature rise, does not prove all the corollary thesis associated with that rise. This oversimplification of the subject into, "if this is true, then all else is true", works very well for political argument, to convince those who cannot grasp multiple thoughts simultaneously, but not for a site made up of "thinkers, mathers (?), and (even) college graduates". Of course opinions vary... Right now I am more worried about driving the economy off an actual man-made fiscal cliff. Why not add a tax on carbon based energy too, what is the worst that could do (just kidding there). The recent discovery of domestic energy reserves of fossil fuels is one bright light that might help us out if our economic morass. Lets not screw that up too. JR PS: I hope I do not need to repeat or reargue the entire scope of this subject, in all it's sundry parts. I don't claim complete perfect knowledge of everything, but I know enough to question opinion leaders with sweeping simplistic claims. Measure twice cut once. We need to be damn sure before we seriously mess with global phenomenon. If we are not serious why spend the time and effort? [/QUOTE]
