Stop hurting those of us who really want to know what's happening and why so that you can pursue your political agenda, benevolent (awareness of an important issue) or otherwise (people who stand to make a great profit off of global warming taxes and subsidies).

Nature or man mad the loss of the coast line will not cause extiction, there is more to it than that.
It is infact a very deep and complicated rabbit hole that will get harder to dig out from without intervention.

To Slayer69-
I accept that the earth had undergone heating and cooling over the centuries, but what you must take into consideration is the time scale, the natural heating took thousands of years, while this is occuring in just 50 years, and also, the heating in those centuries was caused by the sudden eruption of volcanoes which release tonnes of gases into the atmosphere, but there is no recorded evidence of any huge volcanic activity over the years, except the mount St.Helens in Washington and Krakatoa in Indonesia, which do not come anywhere near the massive explosions to cause such change.

My second point to your argument is the fact that volcanism on a large scale does the opposite of what you're trying to say. Large amounts of strata ejected into the atmosphere blocks out the sun. Some scientists think that if a super-volcano like Yellowstone erupts, the temperature of the entire earth would drop by about 17 degrees.
Point 3...Along with the earth, the temperature of the other planets in our solar system is also rising, look it up.
Water vapor alone holds in more of the suns heat, by comparison, than we could ever produce in the form of c02.

You know what poster, the earth has been around a long time and we have been here quite a few years less, so why not do us all a favour and let the earth deal with whatever the solar system throws at it and not add to the political (NWO) crap that I and everyone else has to endure without you adding to it!

First understand what I am saying, the earth has been there for a long time, dinosaurs lived and died because it cant do anything the meteor had in store for them, but we humans are blessed with good knowledge and the ability to confront situations and we are just killing ourselves with this runaway greenhouse effect now. And I am not telling anything about politics at all, please understand, I am not telling you to pay more taxes, I am just telling that awareness of people, will do more better to reduce the effects of global warming/climate change. Thats all.

The earth will continue to do what it's been doing for millions of years. It will get warmer and it will get cooler. Is reducing the amount of c02 and pollutants a good thing? Yes it is. What was the argument again?
