I think he argues a fair point for his stance. I decided to instead of forwarding it to other people, to post it here. Hope you enjoy

I didn't watch it, but IMO, i think that something else more dramatic is going to happen to change the world before global warming does.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to spread it now!

very true

[redlion]

Agreed. Spreading as we speak

XD I actually saw it yesterday after following a link from CAD...

I come here, to put the video in... Turns out it's the topic of this thread. =/

My thoughts on the planet?

I will jump in my gas guzzling, carbon dioxide diesel Hummer, go to the gas station fill up my tank to full then leave the gas cap open and drive around so my fuel spills along the ground as i drive. That is how much i do not care about global warming.

Even if you aren't concerned about global warming, thats still a shitload of money down the drain.

Not to mention, who would leave their gastank open just to be a spiteful asshole?

[Tetiel]

It was a joke

Anyways... I do think that we should do some things, but not for global warming as I think it's total BS that we're causing it all, but just for our own health. Why does a regular citizen NEED a hummer that consumes 10 mi/gl?! Why do you NEED an SUV or truck that consumes less than 20 mi/gl. Why do you need a car that consumes less than 30 mi/gl. Honestly it's a big money waster and horrible for the economy in my opinion as it is a wasteful resource.

I say the nuclear holocaust will hit us before the global warming can even start to take a dramatic effect on our planet.

Yep u made a few people more aware....Yea i fink we should just re grow cut down tree so it is sustain able

the worlds gonna end sometime

[phalkon]

well, supposedly the companies that de-forest trees end up re-foresting as well. unfortunately, a young sapling isn't quite as helpful to the environment as a 250ft red wood... or whatever.

let's just all move to Fern Gully.

*thinking back... wtf was with that movie? Robin Williams at one of his worst roles since... i dunno, one of his serious acting parts? well, no wait. 1-Hour Photo was pretty good. wait, where was i going with this?* /tangent

I don't believe global warming was man made, I have trouble grasping that we even had the tiniest effect on our climate. I suppose this kind of thing could just be hard for me to understand though; in which case, Oh Well:

So maybe A few subspecies of fish will die out, hell, maybe frogs will disappear completely.... but has anyone considered that an ecosystem will stay intact without A few fish, or even all the frogs? If they're going to go extinct that easily, there's a good chance they don't play a vital role in their ecosystem, or in the case of the frogs, something will adapt to fill it's place - there's a good chance the frogs will adapt themselves. In any case, something as gradual as global warming has little chance of damaging an ecosystem beyond repair.

Global Warming probably is the main threat to endangered species, but if you're playing the sympathy card... why endangered species? Are there not much more powerful threats to species that aren't endangered... not threats of extinction, but animal lives. There is a HUGE amount of animals that die from man-made causes, but as long as we keep the species alive, it's ok to keep killing them? ... I'm personally fine with killing animals, I don't argue that it's a cruel and terrible thing to do, but it's natural, as a species Humans protect eachother before other species, and we eat other animals to survive - well, we're killing them, why not kill a few more and enjoy 3 meals a day? =P ... but the point to all that is, why are we fighting Global Warming inparticular? There's a dozen man-made threats, easily stoppable man-made threats, that are killing animals and destroying ecosystems right now.... fight those, and when we're absolutely sure about global warming, we'll stop gradually.


I'm too tired to end my arguments, but the concept is that you shouldn't worry yourself about global warming... trash the SUV for a Station Wagon, Recycle the Hummer for an Electric Sports Car... there are more reasons to do it than Global Warming

He's basically using Pascal's wager to promote global warming...which is stupid imo...
Why don't we apply the same argument to a meteorite hitting the earth and build anti meteorite programs? Why don't we apply the same argument to being invaded by aliens? After all, it's a lot safer to look ahead and protect us from these things, than not to do anything and MAYBE have them happen.
Do you see what I'm saying?

And uberbow your comment is based on the whole assumption that in case of global warming, only a few species will die out...and I don't know and doubt the basis of that assumption...
