The polar ice cap is already displaced in the ocean. Its melting does not change sea level directly.

Get me a Corona a Ashton Cabinet :bum: and catch some rays and listen to all doomsday propaganda and just laugh.
I love how they can accurately predict what the weather is going to be like in 50 to 100 years yet we can't accurately predict the weather tomorrow.
Remember last year we were supposed to have a worse hurricane season then the year before and not one hit the U.S.
Just kick back enjoy life, enjoy your family, and enjoy your fish. This is supposed to be fun :rollface:

I'm just glad that scientists keep working regardless of people who think like you do.
"Remember last year we were supposed to have a worse hurricane season then the year before and not one hit the U.S."
Did CNN tell you this?
Well the first bit of your post is a bit too much to reply to at the moment. Probably another agrument altogether.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9926630#post9926630 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by airinhere
Global Warming is as real as you want it to be. Ignoring it will not stop things from getting worse, and raging against it will not make it any better. The science behind Global Warming has always been suspect and not fully trusted. There are large ommisions that foster distrust of its integiry. The real danger it points at is the business sector and the horrible methods people use to gather wealth. It lays the blame at individuals who knew little of the damage being done on their behalf. And it is presided over by a disorganized array of individuals and groups that really dont seem any different than the businesses they bemoan. It is based on a premise that there is somehow a way to undo the damage thats been done to our world. Otherwise, why bring it up at all except for to torture us with the knowlege of our own imminent doom?
I dont have an answer, I am just tired of people acting like its my fault.

The point I was trying to make earlier is this. Society needs a unifying idea to rally behind

How do you clearly define what a good or bad person is? Beside the obvious markers such as killing people, there is an awful lot of gray area. And, pffft, you're trying to compare suicide bombers to environmentalists? Give me a break.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9926630#post9926630 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by airinhere
There need to be clearly defined boundaries of what constitutes a good person and a bad person. This is important so that people can gauge if they are a good person or not.
The same zealot mentality that drives Arabs to commit martyrdom causes people to focus on the enviroment around them and look for what is wrong with it and who can be blamed.
Actually, you can. They're called laws.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9926630#post9926630 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by airinhere
No matter how noble a cause is, you cannot force it on another person or feel anger that they do not agree with your point of view.
Global warming isn't some belief, it's science, so its reality has nothing to do with what any of us want it to be. I don't know what you mean by "raging", but devising solutions for a problem seems like a smart idea.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9926630#post9926630 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by airinhere

The point I was trying to make earlier is this. Society needs a unifying idea to rally behind. There need to be clearly defined boundaries of what constitutes a good person and a bad person. This is important so that people can gauge if they are a good person or not. In our modern age, we have outlawed many of the forms this used to take place in because it was outright horrible in the manner in which it was arranged. Outright racism, sexism and bigotry was used to make people feel good about themselves. The same zealot mentality that drives Arabs to commit martyrdom causes people to focus on the enviroment around them and look for what is wrong with it and who can be blamed. End result on a personal level is a feeling of self satisfaction for doing what they felt is a noble act and causing suffering for others who do not share their passion. No matter how noble a cause is, you cannot force it on another person or feel anger that they do not agree with your point of view. These are personal perceptions of how things are, relating to each individual. What rings true for one person could seem silly or pointless to another. There is a reason our society outlawed racism, stoped sexism and punishes bigotry. Those things do hurt others. And there is a reason these things still occur everyday. It makes a person feel better about themself, by forcing their viewpoint on someone else.
I want to say, that I do not harbor any such feelings for others but I see and hear it all the time. And I become just as bad when I dont say anything to stop it.
