I apologize to those who are offended by such people. This is not the kind of offense Jesus had in mind. <br><br>#2 With regards to global warming, I don't think it's really happening. I'm skeptical. There are many reasons. First, I've heard that many who are pushing this \"cap and trade\" bill stand to profit if it is put into effect. Second, Al Gore is one of those. Third, we've had a rather cool Spring and early Summer here in Nebraska. It's also been wet. It seems like we go through cycles. Fourth, I've heard many in the Northeast complain about the lack of a Spring. This is curious as well. Fifth, there are some that have acutally come out and said what the real agenda is here: redistribution of wealth. Now, you can make the argument that this is a good thing. Still, I believe in private property, and I think that the Bible backs me up on this, as well as the US Constitution. <br><br>Whether Global Warming is true or not is not a religious issue. I do happen to believe, however, that God made this world, and that it will remain until Jesus returns, just as He promised. He died for my sins, and yours, and grants eternal salvation to all who believe His Word. He says, \"A time is coming and is now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man and those that hear will live.\" John 5. It's about His Word and His Promises. That's what Christianity is about. One can believe Global Warming is true and Christianity is true at the same time. I, however, do not.

The Old Testament is taken from the Jewish scripture the Torah .. are you aware of this?  I guess it wouldn't be correct for a Christian to initially comment on such a matter in the way he/she did.  Approach this topic logically.  Your out-dated way of close minded thinking, by following word for word one written book in a literal manner is obscene.  The church over time has acknowledged errors in its beliefs which have been scientifically proven.  For one it was accepted by the church that the earth is the center of the universe and that all things revolve around it in perfect circle.  This was discredited by science and the church's opinion was reversed on the matter.  They conceded that in fact, the earth is not the center of the universe or our solar system.  I guess everything written (thousands of years ago I mind you) hasn't turned out to be true.  Here's another blow to such faith: There are two types of water on earth, H20 and HDO.  aka Regular water and Heavy Water.  Heavy water, or HDO contains a hydrogen atom that has an extra neutron.  This type of hydrogen is called deuterium.  Scientists were able to send a space probe to tail Halley's comet, and a few other comets whose names slip me.  They collected water vapor from the comet's trail and found that the HDO levels were 10 times greater than the concentration of HDO on earth.  It couldn't have only come from comets... blah blah blah long story short they were able to analyze debris in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and found higher concentrations of H20... Every time you take a sip of water, you're drinking liquid that's 14 billion years old.

Droughts hit about every 20 years - nothing unusual there. The IPCC summary is written by politicains - they don\'t carry out research (see their website). They claim this is reviewed bt 2,000 scientists - perhaps, but what they don\'t tell us is that they don\'t agree with it.

It is documented that the temps have risen one degree in 150 years. That comes out to .007 degrees per year. The real questions are, is this increase natural or man-made? Can we actually change this trend, or is this just like us trying to change the path of a hurricane? We know there have been fluctuations in average temperatures as long as the Earth has existed. At the same time, we owe it to future generations to care for our planet. I believe we need to explore new energy sources, reduce consumption of resources, and, most importantly, DON\'T PANIC! This planet is bigger than all of us, and will be here long after we are gone.</div>\

Ever hear of Harry Potter?  Star Wars?  The Lord of the Rings?  They come from a genre of fiction.  That\'s when people write stuff that isn\'t real, and make it into a book.  People are going to take what you said and laugh at it and say "Yeah, it\'s a book... of fiction."

The Old Testament is taken from the Jewish scripture the Torah .. are you aware of this?  I guess it wouldn\'t be correct for a Christian to initially comment on such a matter in the way he/she did.  Approach this topic logically.  Your out-dated way of close minded thinking, by following word for word one written book in a literal manner is obscene.  The church over time has acknowledged errors in its beliefs which have been scientifically proven.  For one it was accepted by the church that the earth is the center of the universe and that all things revolve around it in perfect circle.  This was discredited by science and the church\'s opinion was reversed on the matter.  They conceded that in fact, the earth is not the center of the universe or our solar system.  I guess everything written (thousands of years ago I mind you) hasn\'t turned out to be true.  Here\'s another blow to such faith: There are two types of water on earth, H20 and HDO.  aka Regular water and Heavy Water.  Heavy water, or HDO contains a hydrogen atom that has an extra neutron.  This type of hydrogen is called deuterium.  Scientists were able to send a space probe to tail Halley\'s comet, and a few other comets whose names slip me.  They collected water vapor from the comet\'s trail and found that the HDO levels were 10 times greater than the concentration of HDO on earth.  It couldn\'t have only come from comets... blah blah blah long story short they were able to analyze debris in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and found higher concentrations of H20... Every time you take a sip of water, you\'re drinking liquid that\'s 14 billion years old.  Wow, science can be interesting huh?</div>\

Cities, such as Beijing, are obviously going to be quite a bit polluted due to the amount of emissions there, but if you put in perspective with the rest of the mass of the Earth, it becomes a lot smaller.<br><br>Your second claim, however, is redundant. Though I certainly don\'t support the mass deforesting that occurs, though much of it is for economical reasons, their loss will not majorly affect the Earth. Photoplankton on the surfaces of water bodies like lakes and oceans are responsible for 99% of the CO2 production that occurs on the Earth. Trees are responsible for less than 1% of it.</div>\

The actual statistics, if anyone had cared to look at them, prove this fact. <br><br>In addition, the Earth is not warming as fast as this article might suggest. These incidents of high temperatures, long summers, and melting ice caps are clearly only showing one side of the story. For a local example, here in Chicago for nearly a month and a half straight the temperature was less than 20 degrees in the winter, and it was in the negatives for a few weeks straight.<br><br>In summary, people should do more research before they write or read articles like these.</div>\

It will destroy and rebuild itself millions of times after we are gone,  just as it has done millions of times before we came here. If God was going to save the world he/she would have done it by now(its what 2010 in just a few months, hey jesus you\'re late!). you all lose, and you win no internets for your sorry attempt at writing a reply to something you already began knowing nothing about. good job have a nice... whatever</div>\

So that\'s about 3 or 4 people you\'re pretending to be.<br>C) Why has no one brought up volcanoes in this discussion? You know, those big mountain things that erupt Co2? Yeah, they\'ve been erupting for 4.5 billion years now (not 30 million as you suggested earlier), and we have been giving off Co2 for about 150 years... But Global Warming (or Global Scamming, as a more appropriate name for it) is just happening now? You people realize that all the Co2 that we\'ve emitted in these 150 years is roughly equal to .001% of the Co2 that volcanoes have emitted in the last 4.5 billion years, right? Because when Earth was just made, it was completely covered with Volcanoes. But Global Scamming is just happening NOW, right after a bunch of end-of-the-world-scams just ended (e.g. Acid Rain scam, Y2K)? Global Scamming is sooo fake. <br>D) Also, 30,000 scientists, 9,000 with PhDs, are suing Al Gore for FRAUD because of Global Scamming! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfHW7KR33IQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfHW7KR33IQ</a><br>E) Remember the thing about the volcanoes? Well guess what we breathe out? Co2! But Global Scamming is happening now, right after a series of failed/fake end-of-the-world-scams! <br><br>Feel free to reply to me :)</div>\

I apologize to those who are offended by such people. This is not the kind of offense Jesus had in mind. <br><br>#2 With regards to global warming, I don\'t think it\'s really happening. I\'m skeptical. There are many reasons. First, I\'ve heard that many who are pushing this "cap and trade" bill stand to profit if it is put into effect. Second, Al Gore is one of those. Third, we\'ve had a rather cool Spring and early Summer here in Nebraska. It\'s also been wet. It seems like we go through cycles. Fourth, I\'ve heard many in the Northeast complain about the lack of a Spring. This is curious as well. Fifth, there are some that have acutally come out and said what the real agenda is here: redistribution of wealth. Now, you can make the argument that this is a good thing. Still, I believe in private property, and I think that the Bible backs me up on this, as well as the US Constitution. <br><br>Whether Global Warming is true or not is not a religious issue. I do happen to believe, however, that God made this world, and that it will remain until Jesus returns, just as He promised. He died for my sins, and yours, and grants eternal salvation to all who believe His Word. He says, "A time is coming and is now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man and those that hear will live." John 5. It\'s about His Word and His Promises. That\'s what Christianity is about. One can believe Global Warming is true and Christianity is true at the same time. I, however, do not. Thanks for reading.</div>\

I have been asking anyone that proclaims that "global warming/climate change" is man made. Where is the proof? You always show some picture of a factory belching out smoke. Well back in the 60s and70s you might have gotten away witht that, but not today. We have done a tremendous job of cleaning up industry. Or you show a lake that has "dissapeared". In you\'r example it\'s Lake Lanier in GA. I live in GA, come look at lake lanier now. We have had a drought for the last 7 years or so, but now we are up to our necks in water. Natural cycles are what you try to shove in peoples faces and say"the sky is falling, the sky is falling". I have even seen pictures of nuke plant cooling towers shown as "pollution". Some of you Jonesites "I like to call you that cause remember Jim Jones and his people who drank the cool-aid?" You don\'t even know that cooling towers can only put out pure steam. No I haven\'t seen ANY proof that the earth is warming. Go find another soap box.</div>\
