Truthfully im looking forward to it if indeed it is going to happen, if there is nothing we can do about it and the warming is imminent then lets just roll with it.

Im a gardener by trade and hobby, and i would revel in the opportunity to have a longer growing season and more temperate winter months. Canada is just not the best place for someone who loves to garden, and im in the most southernly part of Canada.

Slayer, what did we tell you about too much television?

It gives you nightmares.

And stop making this up, there is no such thing as global warming come on now .

On topic, yes I think we are going to see more and more problems with our environment caused by the Sun primarily, but I am sure we don't help the problem.

Let's not forget the island of garbage floating around in the pacific, if that isn't climate or environmental change, I dunno what is.

Well people if that is true I guess the smarter species will always survive.

After all climate change is not new it happen before and guess what we are still around to prepare for the next one.

PROPAGANDA


Seriously, if this gets removed as "off topic" I am going to blow a gasket, cause it's absolutely spot on.

Some predictions from Earth Day, 1970.

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
• George Wald, Harvard Biologist

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”
• Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”
• Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”
• Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University

“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”
• Life Magazine, January 1970

“By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’”
• Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
• Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”
• Sen. Gaylord Nelson

If the earth truly is in a warming period, then two things are apparent.

OMG there's too much water!
OMG there's not enough water!


If you could figure out an economical way to desalinate large amounts of sea water, you'd be filthy, stinking rich!



and...

I still think Al Gore can take his Carbon Credit Kiosk Company and stick it in a warm place.

Aload of rubbish as norm, we as normal in uk, have a rubbish summer. The summers here have not been good for a few years.

So where is the rubbish they are spouting. There is no facts to there theories, lol.
