But if you really believe the whole evolution thing, then you also believe love is not real...

I'm not sure the two are mutually exclusive.

But this would appear to open the door to a discussion of conscious phenomenology and what makes a feeling "real".

For ex, is pain real? (And if so, if one could put one's hand in the fire without pain, would we have evolved differently?)

amen. fuck the people that dont believe this is an issue.. it might not be a crisis right now, but it will be. jagermonsta, you are an ignorant son of a bitch. sorry kid, you need to educate yourself.

People like to be warm. When people are older they tend to move to a warmer climate rather then a colder climate. When people say "It's a great day!" They say that usually because it's warmer than an average day, not colder.

Sure perhaps it could get two hot but from what I've read this will unlikely be a major problem globally. Most warming will occur during late hours and the winter season. In fact I've read summer temperatures have actually gone down... Most of the warming is expected to occur near the poles. Where colder areas will now have a break and warmer areas will cool slightly. Sounds pretty enjoyable for everyone.

Sounds a lot safer to me as well... with less snow and ice there will be less winter problems. No dangerous and long commutes to work, no heavy spending on winter clothing and reduced heating bills. I'm happy with that...

To much carbon dioxide? Well that isn't all so bad either... plant life takes in CO2 and spits out oxygen. Plant life living in a happier climate which will be warmer, rain more often and will have high levels of CO2 will thrive. This in turn will help all life on the planet if you think about it.

So the ice melts and the ocean level rises... this will be a problem. From what I have read due to global warming America should be thriving off it thus making more money. The cost to counter the oceans rising sea level will be insignificant.

History has shown us that when the earths temperature rises like it is now it's only been beneficial. I have only read nothing but good things regarding the warming of the earth. I personally will embrace 'global warming' while I can.

While you doom sayers are worrying locked in your basement I'll continue to be "ignorant" enjoying my life with out a care.

(Most opinions and facts I stated are found in this article: http://www.stanford.edu/~moore/Boon_To_Man.html Which I happen to agree fully with. You can say it may be out dated due to your "CO2 Out of Control" situation now but it would be irrelevant since we're still pretty much in the same situation as we were then.)

That's possible jagermonsta, very possible. However, even if that situation was likely (I haven't researched it much) I believe that it's a lot smarter to assume the worst, being that the worst is possible to happen as well. Surely you think that's how government should approach the issue as well?

jägermonsta · « **Reply #1145 on:** March 01, 2007, 07:03:47 AM »

Yeah I suppose you are right haunted. There are good things in regards to people worrying about Global Warming... I am all for a cleaner world to live in. However I myself am not going to go out of my way to change the way I live my life nor am I personally going to worry so much about a worst possible scenario because frankly I don't care and I'm an asshole like that.

The Bible is a log of things to come, and within it only concerns us

if there is a god, who are we to think we are so great to be his only spawn? If there is one, im sure there is many other dimensions/world/etc with other beings in it...we just all happened to flip the coin of life and wound up in this shithole

to account for the fine-tuning of the universe, i think there has to be more to everything than just this universe. i've come to this conclusion, because i don't consider chance a valid explanation.

Chance is the only valid explanation. It
