Okay, I have always hestitated to blame global warming, but in the last couple of years the weather has definetely gotten worse without a doubt and it didn't take losing my home to a tornado, record snows and then a flood all in one year-2008 to convince me of this-it just confirmed it. Kinda like this article. Whatever the reason the weather IS changing and we all need to be prepared.

Look up HAARP...and do a little research...you might be surprised. At first you'll say "No way, impossible. but when you dig deeper, you'll see that yes...we are in trouble, and no, it's not because the earth is changing on it's own...and it's not about greenhouse gasses either

Everyone always wants to argue about the why, but personally I think the why or even the how doesn't matter.

What matters is that the human race will be able to endure it. Live through or change with it. Whatever happens it will be catastrophic to agriculture and food production. All the more reason to prepare, and learn a variety of farming techniques.

well, I have heard that leading climatologists actually believe that we are going through warming trend (actually ,were going through) with in a much larger cooling trend,

I remember about 30 years ago that they were warning us of a comming ice age, ( oh the panic, you should have been there ) leaders in the field still think that that is ahead of us, and attribute the warming trend that ended a few years(but is relatively unreported ) ago to solar flairs, these flairs have been documented and interstingly enough at the same time of the flairs ,not only did the earths temps rise but other planets did too, when you look further into the historical data on the earths climate similar patterns have happened I think it was every 5000 years,



well, that's what I heard any how...

I agree- it really doesn't matter why things are changing or who is to blame. The fact that weather has gotten really miserable in a lot of places is hard to miss.

Actually, what I am worried about is the Gulf Stream on the east coast switching- it has in the past when the ocean salinity changed (like from melting ice caps). That will change weather on the east coast of the US in fairly catastrophic ways.

I just read a really interesting article on that very subject, they are blaming the most recent events on it (the gulf spill) already...

There's advantages to it. The Northwest passage is open now. Look at all the time and money not to mention the lives they lost trying to find it. There's less Polar Bears now. Another 50 years or so and all those overcrowded cities on the coastlines will be flooded. Sometime in the future my house will go up in value again because of immigrants from the flooded coastlines.

They say the people on the East Coast should get used to the hot summers. Sounds like they will be pretty common in the future. The extra pollution helps shorten life spans thereby reducing over population.

When you got lemons make lemonade.

Polar bears are not going extinct! They are more of a nuisance since the activists started in on *saving* them than ever before! The people are the ones at risk now, polar bears never were! That was such a big lie!
There are tons of them, and no one is allowed to do anything about it!

If I had the means to get a polar bear rug or mount I would have one here tomorrow.

The chicken little alarmists tend to overreact, the earth is very dynamic and has been ever changing for billions of years - either humans will adapt and overcome or simply become extinct and make room for another species that can survive.

Just like Africa where it may have been the evolutionary breeding ground for humans 200,000 years ago, it can no longer sustain the indigenous people as they did not evolve with the changes. The only reason people are still living there is because of mans intervention of dropping billions of pounds of rice there.

While I'm quite satisfied that most of global climate change is caused by human activity, I have to agree with you. It doesn't matter.

Because we aren't going to do anything to alter it.

We are like the armadillo crossing the road who looks into the headlights of the oncoming car. Smart enough to see the car coming, but too stupid to do anything about it.

We are very much limited by our evolution.
