I was listening to Robert Kennedy Jr. talk about Global warming and that it was a serious threat to us within 40 yrs.He said the Peaks were warming and melting.The other gentleman said he was completely lieing about the situation.I dont know a whole lot about it and was wondering your thaughts on these things.I know Bush has done a bismal job on environmental concerns,at least it seems to me. Thanks.
Global Warming
- Thread starter Peace4u
- Start date
And we're going to run out of gas in 30 years (circa 1975).
But seriously, I think there is a fair amount of robust science that would say that pollution increases the amount of heat trapped in the atmosphere and thus changes the climate.
I don't think any POTUS could get a strict global warming treaty ratified by congress; anything worth doing would have costly economic impacts.
I don't know if I'd go to a Kennedy for scientific info, girls and booze perhaps but not science.

Bah! Fucking tree huggers and their "junk" science. And who cares anyway? "We'll all be dead"!onthebottom said:
Think of the possibilities, palm trees on Lake Ontario and summer as something more that 3 days of bad skiing. Canada could be the big winner here!

For once bbking might be right. When the gulf stream shuts down Canada will actually get colder. Go figure. So much for global "warming"!bbking said:
IMHO, global warming is just the earth returning to it's natural state after the ice age. If we stopped polluting 100% right now, it would probably not stop global warming and (again, IMHO) it would not slow it down significantly.
If you live in Buffalo, NY, the biggest problem with global warming is that it isn't happening fast enough.

It is not Bush's fault. However he is not helping but rather contributing to the problem with many of his policies, such as reneging on that "junk" science based Kyoto accord.bbking said:
