You all seem to have no understanding of global warming, what-so-ever.
Let me try to explain (but remember: I'm a social worker stuck in an engineer environment and have absolutely no clue what I'm yapping on about):
The sun shoots rays at us.
The Earth (that's us) shoots rays back.
The more CO2 and other crap in the air, the less rays we can shoot back.
The less rays we shoot back, the warmer the earth gets.
Okay... now for the climax:
The less rays the we shoot back, the warmer the Earth gets.
The warmer the Earth gets, the less rays we shoot back.
If this continues (which is seemingly happening), we reach a point of no return. This point of no return, seemingly is when the Perma frost in Siberia melts... due to mammoth dung.
Okay... it sounds far fetched, but:
The point of no return is when the Earth has no way of increasing the rays shot back into space... and we're nearly there!
Don't get me wrong though, I'm looking forward to it. Th weather has been attrocious of late!

When it gets really bad we'll just build a giant umbrella out in space to block the Suns rays. That'll cool us off

Just switch your bulbs, recycle as long as it's made easy for you and stick a lagging jacket on your water heater. You don't need to eat grenola and tofu to do your bit, just common sense money saving things can help.
bah,

Guys! Don't try to convince these people.
Just do your bit and wait a few years for the Americans to choke on their own smog and waste. Then when they're all dead, we'll give the land back to the bison!
Originally posted by PinkFloydAccording to my calculations, if the population of america was to piss on a mushroom cloud simultaneously, it'd actually soak up all the heat and leave just a stinky steam cloud. And some radiation. But a few million litres of effort can make all the difference.
True; yhat's why I don't recycle. Never have. It's like pissing on a mushroom cloud.
