Global Warming, The offical global warming thread Options

Ok as usual I will hold back at first to try and not taint the topic with any percieved biased notions and wait for others to add their opinions. The intention of this topic is to discuss the reality of gloabal warming, what people are doing to cause it (if we even are), and what can be done about it, if anything. Global warming is a highly debatable topic all opinions welcome just remember to keep it cool because it may contribute to global warming if you don't.

I agree 100%. Global warming is a lie, but other ecologies DO need our attention. For example, there are some unique animals in South America that are dwindling in their populations due to a special plant (dammit I forget the name) that ONLY grows in virgin forests. Insects feed off the nectar from the flowers from this plant and in turn are eaten by rodents and birds, which then feed larger animals up the food chain. The larger animals can compensate by consuming a different food, but some of these insects only feed on this plant, and if the plant dies out, then a whole chunk of wildlife will die off due to the resulting chain reaction.

This is but a single example of several areas that really do need our attention, but currently is left alone to pursue irrelevent issues. It's the same as what Child Protective Services sometimes does by taking a child from a loving family to make it look like they are doing their job because it's often hard to find the truly abused children (because they are hidden and the children are afraid to talk). Politicians and environmentalists want to look like they are doing their jobs (and snag extra votes) by embellishing some issues while ignoring others.
