Whatever. You're totally right, Mick. Have a great day.
I don't really know who is totally right, or who is totally wrong. I think the jury is still out. But thanks anyway.
You do the same.
Whatever. You're totally right, Mick. Have a great day.

...err on the side of caution...
IMO, if man is killing the planet, then eventually the planet will kill man. It will work itself out I am sure. That said, there is no way for man not to have some impact on the planet, it is just impossible. Just us being here is having an impact.
Now, global warming. Yea, maybe. Based on what has been taught, there have been many cooling/warming cycles in the history of earth. Now the question, is this current warming cycle (if it really is), caused by a natural warming cycle or is it caused by man? Or, could there be some of both? I really don't think there is concrete evidence, but theoretical speculation.
But I do say, with the technology man has today, we can do great damage in very little time. Therefore, we really do need to think about what we do more than at any other time in history. Our screw ups will just have huge impacts. I don't think too many can argue that point.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain, why the heck did Al Gore buy a beachfront mansion several years ago when at the time or well before he proclaimed it would be swallowed up by rising sea levels a few years ago?
who could have predicted, the oceans are sinking.
Do we have a thread winner?
Thanks a lot dude. Now what?
The term 'oceans are sinking' confuses me. WTF does that even mean.
Gosh doggit, this science stuff gets so confusing. I stumbled across this on NASA website....
"The scientists estimated the average change in Earth's radius to be 0.004 inches (0.1 millimeters) per year, or about the thickness of a human hair, a rate considered statistically insignificant.
Weird how that .004 inches number matches exactly the amount those other scientists said the oceans are sinking each year. Odd. I think they used the earth's radius as a factor in that elastic equation thing, but I wonder if the elastic equation thing they used to calculate ocean sinkage per year takes into consideration this change in the earth's radius? Anyway, i'm not sure I understand what any of that even means, but i'm thinking they're totally underestimating the significance of a .004 inches change. It's a lot. It's bad, real bad, it's as bad as it sounds. But if sea levels rise as rapidly as estimated, the oceans sinking .004 inches per year, ocean floor sinkage is not going to be enough to prevent sea level rise from covering much of the East Coast in water by the year 2100. It's just not going to be enough, it's going to happen. Science.
ez willis said:I'm definitely not trying to be a dick here, Mick, but..
There is a percentage of the population that can't be convinced to even take the conservative(not politics, but the safe option) side of the argument no matter what you show them. Which is fine because the stock market is at a blah blah blah, Bengazi, the emails, blah blah blah. It's pointless to have the conversation. It's like trying to convince people, and usually the same group that those aren't chemtrails, vaccines help society, and George Bush did not order 9/11, and Alex Jones is a f*cking lunatic. Pointless. But every forum(I guess) needs its Ghost of FM and here it is.

I'll posit, very very, very few. Do not question, 97% of experts agree, case closed.
It's pointless, dude.So scientists are brainwashing people. The Republican party knows the real science. After all, scientists have ulterior motives. Scientists are corrupt. Your 8th grade science teacher was a scumbag liar. Scientists are engaging in a conspiracy across 160+ countries and dozens of languages. They've concocted thousands of studies to cover their tracks. The peer reviewers are in on it. The teachers are in on it.
There is irrefutable evidence: professional scientists do make a paycheck you know.
Better to trust Republican politicians who clearly have pure motives. Republicans are the truth. They are the only truth.
