I don’t think the scientific evidence for global warming was available until the 1970’s. There will always be fluctuations but the trend is definitely upward.

I find it amazing that people think it is a fraud and a hoax. What do they think … people are laughing their backsides off over it? Profiting over it? What couild be the motive?

Actually, people have been observing radical climate changes for hundreds of years.

None of it has been man-made or even man-influenced.

And the trend WAS up … actually, it had been up and then down and then up again, and then down again] , which was what melted the glaciers in New Jersey … once a mile thick … and now all gone. None of it due to the influence of people.

But now the trend is down.

Bad news.

Crops don’t grow well in cold temps.

Very few vegetarians up along the Arctic Circle.

Folks up there kill moose and whales for meat to eat.

What possible motive?

Well, people tell fibs or exaggerate all the time to get attention. Ohhhh, look at me; see how important I am.

And MONEY … big bucks … the U.S. alone spends something like $4 billion per year on studies and grants for “research” … nice money. And then there are all those neat conferences in Cancun. They never have those conferences in Somalia.
 
The temperature and the climate isn’t UP or DOWN.

The temperature are the climate are, in fact, FLUCTUATING.

I know, I know … life is so much simpler when we can depend on monosyllabism

Up.

Down.

Hot.

Cold.

To evaluate fluctuations requires some thought and multi-syllabism.

Anyway, here is some reading for those of you who are bored.

A catalog of just some of the punditry from years and centuries past in which the end of the world was predicted because of higher (or lower) projected temperatures.

And melting (or reforming) of glaciers and ice sheets.

In the movie, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore is shown repeatedly riding in a limosine and using his laptop.

A mansion? Let’s say big house with lots of rooms and a big electric bill. Refer to news stories about that.

Everything fluctuates. But the trend is rising average temperatures. I am not saying that people are the only cause of this, but I am saying we all are contributing to it and this can lead to very serious consequences down the road.

I think you are in an unhealthy state of denial.

Using words like “you are in an unhealthy state of denial” is a violation of CAF rules.

👍 Excellent post!! I agree fully!!
 
Belief in Global Warming is not a new religion but rather a de facto act of Faith in one of the oldest religions on Earth…Gaia worship. Earth Mother worship.

It is emblematic of a culture in crisis living out a mannerist decay. Vibrant growing maturing cultures believe in male sky Gods. Decaying cultures which have lost confidence in themselves retreat to mother worship.

Western culture is in decay and is retreating to mother worship. It is in rebellion against its father. these are profound millenial realities which are much deeper than global worming be it a reality or not.

:eek: Say what??!!!??? Belief in global warming is simply belief that there is global warming!!
 
Since the OP intended this to be a tongue in cheek post, I would suggest we stop bickering and remain charitable.

I’m very sorry. I really thought you were being serious. Please accept my apology (it’s a really good post when taken as tongue-in-cheek).

Sorry. 😦

Which has been demonstrated in this thread and in others on the same subject.

But studies done in the past and studies conducted without properly using scientific method do not mean that global warming is not occurring. Just because the end of the world has not come as some people have predicted does not mean that global warming does not exist.

Note: Sarcasm filter disabled.

It’s just those liberals who want to take over the lives of everyone else. Why they want to take over the lives of everyone else has never been explained to me; I guess it’s some sort of rush liberals get from believing they have the power to take over the lives of everyone else. I guess that taking over others’ lives is supposed to be a wonderful thing if one is liberal but an awful thing if one is conservative.

Funny thing though, I’m considered to be a liberal in some respects and a conservative in others and I certainly don’t get any sort of rush when I vote liberal or support liberal causes. Nor do I get a rush when I vote conservative or when I support conservative causes.

I’ve never seen anyone classified as liberal laughing their backsides off over the possibility of global warming. However, I have seen self-proclaimed conservatives mocking and laughing at people they believe are liberals.

Note: Sarcasm filter enabled.

I would like to ask any person who belives he/she is conservative exactly why some that are labeled liberal say they believe global warming exists.
 
LittleSoldier, the OP that the mod referred to is the “original poster”, i.e. the one who started this thread. I think Aboveallbereal is serious and means just what he said. And there’s no denying that you’ll find elements of Earth and Gaia worship in the whole environment movement.

That did confuse me, as I’m well aware of what “OP” means. So I asked for clarification and received nothing.

I’m aware that some environmentalists are into this “Gaia” thing and that’s why I responded as I did. But it’s not in the whole environmental movement. If it were I would be involved in it and I am not.

In fact, I don’t know one environmentalist who is. Every environmentalist I know wants to foster this earth as God intended. We want to take good care of the gifts God has placed in our hands. It’s certainly possible to be a practicing Catholic and an environmentalist; the two are not mutually exclusive.

What does “Gaia” have to do with the twice-yearly beach cleanups my town sponsors? Or the attempts to place sea otters back into the Pacific off the Oregon coast where they used to live? Or the restrictions on removing plants on federal and state beaches necessary for endangered birds to lay their clutches? Or the current controversy over the masses of non-biodegradable plastic grocery bags that are amassing in the Pacific?

Now just relax, If you read it, this was just for fun. They always bust us for having faith in God. I was just pointing out that they are also treating this GW as a faith. Agian it’s just for a little fun.

I wholeheartedly agree!

It is also possible to be a good Orthodox and an environmentalist. 🙂

I am sure Patriarch Bartholomew, sometimes known as the 'Green Patriarch’ would agree.
