Like, so it's getting warmer, so what? Is that a bad thing? How warm will it get and what will that mean?
I'm not positive of the exact amount, but even a minute increase in teperature at the polar caps is, not may, is causing a chain of events that will end life on this planet as we know it. Not that I think we can do anything about it or whether we are the cause, but. . .

Are you still dancing on the fence? There is more than enough evidence to support people as the cause. Even your own link to the causes of CO2 should be enough. Sure, it doesn't have a blinking sign saying "We did it! We did it!" But you shouldn't have to lay your face on the stove to know it's on. The planet is warming up and we are the cause, time to start trying to clean up our mess!

I'm not dancing on the fence per say, but we discussed this topic not too long ago in another thread. (damn I can't find it now - lil help please) I don't think there is any reason for us to not try to be more considerate of the planet, but I am not sure whether any of these Bills sent to congress will pass nor if they do whether they will do anything. It reaks of political posturing to me. But I am cynical by nature anyway. I sincerely hope that we, as a race do something to keep this ball spinning, be it our fault or not.

I totally agree with you there. Like you said, I hope we do something, and soon.

To make that statement, then you know what "falling off the mountain" means. After all you made a statement is requires knowledge of that soundbyte. Tell us, Yesman065, what that statement means - because you know such facts before having an opinion.

Tell us what about "falling off the mountain" since the concept is so basic to understanding global warming.

Its about you being nuts. Hows that? - I posted links - read 'em and weep since they don't agree with your BS. You still owe me an apology.

I don't owe you anything. You posted without first learning the facts. You owe America an apology. Do you think they will accept it?

IOW you know all about global warming and yet don't have a clue what "falling off the mountain" means? It is used often when discussing the potential disasters from global warming. Or what happens when climate changes too fast. Before you make conclusions about global warming, don't you think you should first learn the facts?
