Looks like I'm the tie breaker. Read this and weap:http://www.michaelcrichton.net/speech-senatetestimony.html Michael Crichton shows in a speech to the Senate that climate research is not reliable and that more studies by independent organizations are needed to prove it true.

Two or three degrees wouldn't melt the ice in antarctica because it is already below freezing. go ahead, try this experiment. fill a cup of water and freeze it below 28 degrees F. Now turn your freezer's temperature up two or three degrees. ITS STILL FROZEN! thats not the reason the ice is melting in Antarctica... its a natural process.

Global Warming is not caused by humans, but is a natural cycle, that has occurredsince the birth of our earth approx. 4.8 billion years ago, long before humans ever trod on its surface. Even the recently deceased Professor Stephen Schneider, who was a prominent member of the I.P.C.C., was a fervent believer of an Ice-age coming until 1978. He then suddenly turned 180% and became a doomsayer of AGW.How could any one believe in doomsayers like him, or Al Gore or anyone who think, that they can predict our climate over a 50 to 90 year period? Even our weather-stations, that have access to millions of dollars of equipment, cannot predict our weather correctly for more, than a few days!!!! The Green activist have since the 1960's zealously pursued doomsday predictions with their hatred for anything, that is not natural (mining for oil, goal, gas etc. etc. and the use of insecticides, like D.D.T., that actually had saved hundreds of millions of human lives). Their decisions are not based on science, but on political ideology and they do not care at all, that the ban on D.D.T. has caused some 50 to 80 million lives since 1972 and that every year nearly 3 million more lives are lost to typhus and malaria in the poorer countries. Greens are totally hypocritical, as they do not wish to abandon their own luxuries, like driving SUVs, flying (and owning jet aircraft like Al Gore) and using everything that is manufactured from mined products. They should instead use transportation like the Amish and build wooden ships from dead trees, instead of using ships made of steel with GPS and radar!Regards,Nos Lapre from Sydney, Australia.

This is just a post from another agruement i wrote. Read and weep!People claim global warming is happening because we're having the worst drought in years, the largest forest fires, the hottest temperature and the most the destructive storms. Lies lies and that right more lies. First off a good quantiy of the western part of america is a desert and they're pumping water into it to grow food. What do expect to happen when you try to grow food where you can't and beside this whole drought is just probably a cycle of the event the Dust Bowl. Secondly these huge forest fire are suppose to happen i took a class in Environmental Science and the book clearly said the when such an environment reaches its climax a forest fire will eventually occur to recycle nutrients. So global warming has nothing to do with forest fires they'd been happening and will continue to. Finally the heat and storms it should be know by now the earth goes through several weather and temperature patterns such as El Nino(or whatever they call it). Interestly enough most people seem to forget that the earth's orbit is not round. It's elliptical so there will be times where the earth will be much closer to sun and alot farther especially during the Equinox. Beside if global warming was caused by burning fossil fuels wouldn't all the plankton and other micro-organism suck up all that co2 and deposit it at the bottom of the ocean. Honestly i don't think that fossil fuels even come from ancient organisms because if so why does coal the oldest form of all fossil fuels contain traces of carbon 14? That would only mean that coal is only about 50,000 years old. Also fossil fuels have been found to contain large amounts of trace elements such as germanuim and mercury. What plant or animal you know that has every existed to intake germanuim or mercury? In addition volcanoes are known to have large reservoirs of petro-fuels. It is fact that 86% the emmisions released from mud volcanoes is methane. I think someone is pulling a curtain in front our face with this global warming nonsense. Dispute me if you can.

I would love to take you up on this ....so thank you for the opportunity ...first..the dust bowl was created by over use of virgin top soil that had no vast root system to hold it in place and this was a layer of soil never tilled or plowed and wasn't in a really good place to be plowed on such a massive scale ..the dust bowl was stupidity and bad timing with .....anytime you unleash a mass group of unemployed people to go and do as much work as you can and sell or give them tools and farm land ......you can expect the to work that land like a stolen mule....and that's hat they did...and with no vast root system from a forest the top soil was simply loosened by man and blown away by GOD ....and as for weather syatems look up the 1960s and seventies weather weapon treaties....any mid level sscientist can tell you how easy it is to alter weather patterns with fairly simple tech....and as for the earth orbiting around the sun .....let me ask you if the us is 2700 miles across and our clocks are within seconds of solar accuracy ....how the hell do we have five one hour time zones on a planet that spins at 1600 miles per hour give or take depending on the liar telling you this ....at that speed and this know distance 2 time zones is what you would have within seconds of solar accuracy.....heliocentric now that is just carnival side show theater for slack jawed goons....and please don't get me started on nasa the think tank for morons and fakes ....boobs each one ...carbon 14 you say ...50,000 years no less.....wow were to begin here ...how about more like less than half of that any dating system used to date is flawed and I can rig a test anytime you want me to ...liken the dating science to a lie detector....60% accurate under perfect conditions a chest cold will debunk a lie detector...mercury and germauim amazing ....lets talk particles ...if you take a simple neutrino ...it can display perfect superposition ...but because of superstring theory ....the binary code in the core ribbon says black white hard or soft and nothing else ....you see everything has a written code in it telling it what it is and what it can and cannot do.....oil is oil and coal is coal take for instance grown diamond is made layer by layer starting with a crystalline carbon base no lab has ever ever created a pure anything from nothing they must have a starter of some kind ..a like material to work with ....you can graft things together but you cannot just create...and because this is so ...oil is oil ....but the base of my argument is weather weapon systems had to be used and tested to force signed treaties...period thank you

One can tell these initiatives are all about money rather than addressing any climate issues. Cap & Trade is about money. Carbon credits are about money. Paris climate accords is about money. It's nothing but a giant scam.

Side: No, it is a natural cycle.

Look, global warming IS happening and could be classed as a threat. But, in reality, humans aren't the main cause. This cycle of the earth's temperature changing has been going on pretty much since the world began and it is totally fine. There is hard evidence that a much more devastating change in the climate occurred in the middle ages, how could humans have caused that?However, if we want to really talk about climate change without human impact, we can go back 700million years ago. This was when the earth was changed into a big snowball. You may argue that the temperature went down, so this doesn't mean anything, but it proves the fact that the natural cycle exists and us humans are just a part of it, not the cause. If the whole world suddenly went electric and emitted no carbon into the atmosphere etc, the cycle, in my opinion, would carry on. Technically, we are coming out of an ice age, so temperatures are bound to rise.Just imagine if every environmentalists' dreams came true and there was a massive cut in the fossil fuels used, carbon emitted (even though humans only contribute to 0.00022percent of the carbon in the atmosphere) and all the rest of it. Imagine what it would take to have this happen and, possibly, how it could affect the environment for the worse because of the massive de-industrialisation of the world. The resources to make all things environment friendly with NOT environment friendly resources could produce way more negative stuff than anticipated and just make it worse.I propose that we just carry on as we are but don't get reckless. Do re-use plastic bags but not for the greater good, that's beyond us humans, but from a subjective view of the children living near landfills etc.Finally, scientists DO NOT HAVE A CLUE what they're doing. It is nearly impossible to measure this and, as an example, in the 1970's scientists thought the earth was cooling so I really don't think we should be listening to what they say as they're probably only saying it so they don't sound stupid.Thanks for reading, questions are welcome.

I never actually said that I am correct, this is just what I think is going on. Also, read the link I gave, it might give you a different outlook on this issue.How do you think we should resolve this issue, anyway?

I never actually said that I am correct, this is just what I think is going on. Also, read the link I gave, it might give you a different outlook on this issue.It is an objective issue. A question of what is or isn't going on scientifically. I think the problem might be that -- assuming you are American -- Americans are living in a society where everything can become a matter of opinion provided you have the capital and the right political connections.How do you think we should resolve this issue, anyway?Stop using the fuels responsible for the crisis. It really comes down to the massive investment the elite rich has in the fossil fuel industry and the fact that the profit is directly tied to the fuel being finite in supply. Once they solve the problem of how to profit from renewable energy you will begin to see most of the idiots arguing against global warming slowly die away, just like they did when tobacco was the big crisis.
Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: No, it is a natural cycle.

The Earth warms and cools, warms and cools, in roughly 1000 year cycles. Our present warming cycle is called 'The Modern Warming Period" and it just happens to be right on schedule. Our last warming cycle was The Medieval Warming Period which was exactly 1000 years ago. Roughly 1000 years before that, The Roman Warming Period. Then the Minoan Warming Period, The Egyptian warming Period, The Sumerian warming Period etc., etc. It is just so interesting how a bunch of self interested publicly funded scientists could be so successful in using the total ignorance of the public about ancient history, to claim that a perfectly normal, recurring event like global warming and cooling cycles, were, in pushing a leftist political and supposedly world saving ideology onto the public, which financially benefits themselves.

I agree with you, Voceangeli, there is no debate today on whether the earth is heating up. But 50 years ago climate scientists were loudly claiming that the earth was cooling down into a new Ice Age, and they had credible evidence for that claim. From 1930 to 1970 worldwide temperatures reduced. Climate scientists knew that the Earth warmed and cooled every 1000 years, and that every 10,000 years the earth went into a relatively short duration Ice Age. That has been the cycle for about 60 million years.Our present warming cycle, just happens to be the 10th in the latest cycle. And, I would add, if the previous 9 cycles are any guide to go by, our temperatures will increase by another 2 degree before it is over and the world will indeed plunge into another Ice Age. God help us then. Climate scientists were so alarmed at the 1930's onwards drop in global temperatures, which they reasonably thought was heralding the start of a new Ice Age, that they loudly demanded that governments around the world must immediately start depositing black soot onto our ice caps to delay global cooling.Aren't you glad that nobody then took them seriously?

To "foil" who quite reasonably tells us that the Earth's temperature is rising, then unreasonably attributes it solely on human activity by asking us "What else could be causing this?"Gee willackers, "foil", I think you just nailed it. You see that is the question you should have asked yourself and then researched and answered before you advocated for the idea that only humans could cause global warming. If you had ever bothered to do your homework and answer your own question, you might have discovered that the heating and cooling of the earth roughly every thousand years is a perfectly natural and recurring event.What causes the 1000 year heating and cooling events? I don't know for sure but it seems to be related to sunspot activity, according to astronomers. The Sun's output is cyclical too, and it warms and cools. I know that the earth warms and cools because it is part of human history. Many historical events such as the invasion of warmer countries by barbarian tribes from high latitude or steppe areas was caused by global cooling. Civilisations flourished during warming periods and crops failed and people starved during cooling periods. Climate change, both heating and cooling, destroyed civilisations and budding civilisations. And not a steam engine, aeroplane, coal fired power station, or motor car in sight.

To "yoyoyush123". You are right, CO2 levels are rising. So what? CO2 levels are at their lowest point for at least 600 millions years. CO2 is now just a trace gas in the atmosphere, locked up in carbonaceous rocks, and it is so low that agronomists claim that if it had not been for human activity, putting some of it back, all vegetation on Earth could have eventually choked to death for lack of CO2. But CO2 is still only a trace gas. It is bugger all. What is a 30% increase in bugger all? It is still bugger all.Can a 30% increase in CO2 affect the environment? yes, it can. Agronomists are talking about "the greening of the Earth". CO2 is plant food and all over the Earth plants are thriving. Plants grow bigger and faster in CO2 rich environments.

I believe in God, however i do not believe in religion, and neither do i think that others have to believe in God, it is simply something I believe in.
Debate: is god true?
Side: yes, god is true

Religion is belief in God. How can you believe in God but not religion? If you believe in God, you believe in what God told us, correct? God told us to spread the Good News. It is wrong to force a religion on a person, I agree. However, it is wrong not to try to help them to understand. If you believe in God but do not believe in any part of any religion you know of, you are simply creating a new religion, not avoiding it. Religion is not, or should not be, a strict set of laws and a force to keep people in line. Religion is a set of beliefs. Any religion which tries to use force is wrong to do so. A person believes what they believe and cannot be forced to believe more or less than that. The most a person can do is explain their beliefs so that others might understand and believe as well. One cannot even force themself to believe or not believe something, they may only seek out the truth and listen. Belief is simply a state of being, and those in the same state of being are a part of the same religion. Names and policies make little difference unless they are a part of a belief. For example, many protestants do not believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, so their imitating the Last Supper is an unnecessary ritual with little meaning. However, those that do believe in the Eucharist practice something quite meaningful and necessary under their beliefs. Religion is not something you can say you do or do not believe in, as saying so is in itself a kind of religion.

My mother believes in god and she's not religious. I don't see anything senseless in it. She just believes in a higher being or whetever it is, but she doesn't believe, nor supports, religion and anything that it stands for. She doesn't go to masses, she doesn't care for eating meat in easter, and all that stuff christians do here in my country.
Debate: is god true?
Side: yes, god is true

Religion isn't composed of attendance at mass or obedience to rules and regulations or observations of traditions. Religion is belief, and however one chooses to practice that belief. If she believes in god, she has a religion, even if it is not a religion shared by a group of people. If it is her belief that the rituals, rules, etc. associated with religion are not good, then that is also a part of her religion. To be an atheist is to have a religion, even, as that is itself a belief.
Debate: is god true?
Side: yes, god is true

Regardless of what my true opinion is, humanity needs God. Humanity needs something to believe in, something to live for, something to hope for, something to wait for. Every single God/Gods that are worshipped by sections of humanity on earth provide all these. Without a God, humanity would be meaningless, are lives would be meaningless, and the thing that truly defines humanity would be lost. We would be transformed into the bare existence of life. Yet we would create our own Gods, perhaps this has already happened? Perhaps the Gods we worship on this earth today were created by those that came before us. I think not. Look at the bible, it's huge. Who would have honestly been bothered to come up with all that stuff. No-one is that boring.I personally believe in God, but I can see why others don't. I will pray for you.

I agree that there are certain people for whom belief in a deity is a necessary comfort. However, there are others, like myself, who can handle a harsh truth and who don't need God.Your argument seems to be that people should believe in God because that belief is a comfort. My question to you is - Is it better to believe in something because it is comforting or because it is the truth?It would be a great comfort to me to believe that civilians aren't dying in Iraq, but I'm not prepared to believe it simply on that premise.As for your point about the Bible, the same could be said of any holy book, and they cannot all be right. You asked the question - Who would have honestly bothered to come up with all that stuff?Well, surely you know that the Bible was written over hundreds of years, with contributions from a huge amount of people, countless revisions and alterations.I feel compelled to say something in response to your last sentence. It's pointless and very patronising, and will only serve to repel people from the christian faith.
Debate: is god true?
Side: yes, god is true

Why would you say "you only serve to repel people from the Christian faith?" Have you studied it at all? Why does a teaching of love offend you? Study the teachings of Christ. Regardless if you believe He was divine or not; If you abide by the Bibles teaching you will live a much better life. The teaching of love your neighbor as yourself is so simple. "All have sinned and come short of Gods Glory" Romans 3:23. why should that offend you? Unless of course you are telling me you are perfect? I will tell you right now I am a rotten sinner. I have done things that are incredibly wrong just like everyone else on the planet. "There are none righteous, no not one" Romans 3:10. Am I saying I am now perfect? No, not at all. But perfection is what I strive for. Being covered by Grace is saying when I do fall, which I will, I can ask forgiveness from a loving God. I am human. I am a devout christian with a very wide background in many other religions. Being a Christian does not mean that I will not be tested because I will I promise you. But what I do know just as you do is that all my choices have consequences. That means there is order and purpose in the world. When you do something that you know is wrong you are convicted. Why? where does that come from? Research what the Christian faith really is and then tell me why in the world you would repel people from that. It teaches love, and to put other people before yourself. I greatly encourage you to do your homework and then tell me why the Christian faith is so offending to you. Do not look to people who say they are "Christians" look to the Bible and then tell me God doesn't exist.
