Perhaps we are. In my mind, this is not the foundation for an argument. The foundation should be built on the things that we CAN see every single day. Smog, deforestation, pollution, chemical runoff from farming, hazardous waste from mining, nuclear fallout effects, etc. What could it possibly hurt to clean up our act. I'm not what you would call a "God-fearing individual" (can I get an amen...?), but if you do believe in some almighty being or a book of stories, he did say that we were the stewards of this planet. If you don't believe in God (or "Mr. Sandals"...) you might still understand the point in treating our home as well as it has treated us. Do you keep your home clean? Do you pick up after yourself? Do you not allow CO to build up in your home? Lets take that concept outside so that, if our world does end as we know it, we can't say, "Sorry, it wasn't convenient at the time to take action." <br />And, rant over...David Taylorhttp://www.sixtyonenorth.com/wp/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673718.post-88496153800317047462009-10-25T08:40:27.242-07:002009-10-25T08:40:27.242-07:00There is NO doubt that natural climatic cycles hap...There is NO doubt that natural climatic cycles happen, there is also NO doubt that it's happening at a rate never before recorded in geological history and that CO2 could be affecting the planet in numerous ways we can't even begin to fathom.<br /><br />It's happening in decades rather than a natural cycle that should take centuries. That has to make one wonder about the effects of CO2. Whether it's being affected by us or not, we need to change our energy consumption.Ren Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017460071971677808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673718.post-18367831743024333432009-10-21T11:03:54.888-07:002009-10-21T11:03:54.888-07:00The planet and solor system will do as it may, but...The planet and solor system will do as it may, but what harm could polluting much less possibly do?Penta Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234928787288843143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673718.post-28429588482670221902009-10-18T11:50:02.503-07:002009-10-18T11:50:02.503-07:00The fact (facty fact FACT) that the earth goes thr...The fact (facty fact FACT) that the earth goes through climate changes is proven nineteen ways from Sunday. There was a mini-ice-age period 700ish years ago, in Europe. NO DOUBT some of them thought they (people) were causing it by their sinful ways one way or another. <br /><br />I don't doubt the climate is changing. I do very seriously doubt it has to do with aerosol sprays or any other sins of man. For people to run around hooting and blaming each other is embarrassing. For people to be shaming their neighbors for using plastic instead of wood is just an excuse to be excitable and mean.<br /><br />We can't "halt" the earth's cycles any more than the dinosaurs or later the mastadons could have if they'd come up with sun dances or whatever. Stuff happens. The planet isn't going to be the same temperature all the time, nor have the magnetic pole in the same place forever, judging by what's gone before. <br /><br />It IS true that people have always *loved* the thought that the sun or God or rainclouds knew people were down there, and they've always tried to communicate with those forces. Having a climate-stability cult the size of the U.N. is interesting.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673718.post-49418535855406341112009-10-16T10:59:54.758-07:002009-10-16T10:59:54.758-07:00When the idiots get to the edge of the earth they&...When the idiots get to the edge of the earth they'll find that the dinosaurs be dragons!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151938105919697909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673718.post-65988354838325440522009-10-15T19:49:41.990-07:002009-10-15T19:49:41.990-07:00Thank you Frank!

Ok, go ahead and believe your creator zapped all this into existance...but 6,000 years old? Seriously? Jeebus, you have to be blatantly ignoring every bit of evidence we now have. It floors me. <br />As early as the late 1700's scientists and researchers were figuring out that the earth was millions of years old. Fast forward hundreds of years and people still don't look at the evidence? ok....rant over. I'm sharing this one.
