Oh Noes! Global Warming

[Coronalight]

That kid's arguments are full of holes as well... he's 19, what reasearch has he done? what degree does he have that he can shoot down the argument of professionals with PhDs.

His point about the weather 5 days from now is completly irrelevant. Scientists are measuring general trends of data and temperatures. There is a variation in weather patterns that cannot be predicted. But if you take average temperatures over decades and centuries you start to notice a trend. That trend is that our atmosphere is warming. Even the small .6 of a degree (or whatever the decimal was) is a startling change. That small change can throw off entire ecosystems and endager wildlife.

The argument that he gives is better than most I've seen. He does do a bit of research. And he does try to adress more than one point. But overall I don't see how a 19 year-old can effectivley kill the argument of hundreds of qualifies scientists (even if they all have a secret political agenda).

The key to the whole Global Warming debate is the amount of carbon dioxide (co2) levels in the atmosphere. The amount can ACCURATELY be found in ice cores going back over 600,000 years. There has NEVER been a time when it has been this bad EVER. Sadly its going to take a new president (ours makes TONS off big oil), and the complete loss of both icecaps (and all current shorelines ie. around 5% of the earths total landmass) before EVERYBODY freaks and tries to stop it. After its too late. The only people still fighting against the Global Warming concept are those that work, own, or make a profit from using GW emitting gases, and the people who blindly follow their paid scientists.

Remember it wasn't that long ago that the catholic church imprisoned a certain person for heresy because he said the earth wasn't the center of the universe.
