YE OF LITTLE FAITH
"PREPARATIONS FOR THE MILLENNIUM. Polar ice, both arctic and antarctic, seems to have been steadily decreasing, and it may be that these frigid deserts shall once more blossom as the rose-- `Isa. 35:1`--literally. The ice from both poles seems to be drifting toward equatorial regions, to such an extent that, in the north, it has become a menace to commerce, and it may be a work preparatory to the "times of restitution."" — ("Zion's Watch Tower, May, 1903 " p. 131)
but there really is no evidence that is caused by humans.
Completely incorrect, and here's why.
cantleave - "...he either has no understanding of scientific principles or is wilfully ignorant."
The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
redvip2000:
Global warming is obviously real, but there really is no evidence that is caused by humans.
Humans have increased the Carbon Dioxide levels by over 30% since 1960. That has an inevitable impact on our warmth. It's the greenhouse gases.
I think sometimes we fail to realize that the earth is not static - it too evolves, and goes through difference cyclical stages. There is evidence to suggest that the planet goes though colder and warmer periods, and it could well be that we are going through a warmer period.
It is irrelevant that the Earth goes through colder or warmer periods naturally. We have increased the CO2 levels and that is what's having the impact. There is nothing in nature that's causing the increase.
When the ice ages ended we went from a cold period to a warm period which should have stayed at that but now we're going from a warm period into a hot period due to fossil fuel burning.
Besty,
Thanks for the video link. What annoys the living hell out of me about revdip and those like him is that they could have found this link and similar information with a simple web search. They prefer to listen to sound bites coming from Rush and other Fundies, parroting their brain dead mantras without so much as a second thought.
Sadly, there are lots of people like revdip. Most of them thankfully are in the same generational group; here's hoping these people either completely lose their influence on decisions that are made about such things as climate change - or die off in time for those coming behind them to fix social and environmental problems in time.
It should be embarrassing to the revdips of the world. Sadly, it isn't.
