Let's say for argument sake that it does exist and it is caused by humans. Then how do we fix it? How do you convince China, India, and America to give up what is fueling there economies? How do you supply enough energy to keep the world running?


Well all three countries are already doing a lot ...

This is a truly stunning movie. Everybody should watch this right now (in HD). It's made up almost entirely from aerial shots of the planet, describing the story of life on Earth and the impact we've had. It's so amazing, even if you don't care about ...

France and the US are in totally different positions politically. It's of no benefit of the US to openly oppose the election result, and we've seen most leaders express concern while being careful not to openly say that the election results are fraudulent.

The US already has a big reputation for ...

The entire case for a 9/11 conspiracy is won with just one piece of evidence...

I challenge anyone to come up with one valid explanation for why this building collapsed, other than by controlled demolition.


Done;

Crazy;

NASA has conclusively proven that solar energy is not responsible for Earth's warming. If it were then we'd expect the outer atmosphere to be warmed most, since that would be getting the energy first. If global warming was caused by changes in the atmosphere, the out atmosphere would ...

Demonfork - please provide sources for your claims.


Captain Crazy - what were the reasons for it being so hot in the past? Also what does that have to do with your claim that temperatures are falling?

That would be the little bit at the end... where the trend is going down.

But it's still obviously far warmer than it has been in the past and we can also see other short term variability in the past, which demonstrates the fact that global temperatures are not static.

Indeed 20% of climate ...

I'd love to see you post a scientific source to back up the claim you've just made that nitrogen and oxygen capture more heat in the atmosphere than CO2.

I agree about water vapour, except that the main cause of water vapour is temperature, so it's a feedback loop created by atmospheric changes ...

Don't you know that plants respire with CO2 the same way that you suck up all the hot air in a room to pump up your bloated self image?

I don't understand what this has to do with climate change. I do note that it's a logical fallacy to attack the person making an argument, rather than their ...

What an incredibly ignorant view of the history of global warming.

The thermodynamic properties of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses was first observed (not theorised, actually tested) in the late 19th Century, which is the time when it was realised that those gasses could change our climate and that ...

I have no doubt that there was no conspiracy regarding 9/11 and that it was a terrorist attack carried out by Muslims. Almost every claim made by the 9/11 truth movement has been ridiculously easy to debunk. My favourites have been;

"The buildings fell at free fall speed." Actually they took twice ...

It's not really an article about Obama - he hardly gets a mention - and we're not given any idea to what extent this bulldozing is occurring or to what extent Obama supports it.

Yes the bailout is definitely giving money to people who don't deserve it and can easily be seen as rewarding people who caused the problems, but it's also vital in preventing the economic collapse of the US, which would have devastating effects not just on US citizens, but on the whole world ...

The most basic principle of the universe is that there is success and there is failure.

Sorry what? Who decided that this is the most basic principle of the universe? In what context is this true? Where is the evidence to support this claim? How do you judge how basic a principle is? The first ...

I'm not denying that the election was rigged, I'm saying there isn't enough information for me to make a judgement either way, but also that I'm sceptical of the result, which means I think it probably was rigged, I'm just not prepared to say that it definitely was.

I haven't seen evidence that ...

There's no way the US will send troops to Iran. Losing two wars in the region is already two big a stretch.

I think the best approach is to with hold judgement about the legitimacy of the elections until real evidence is presented. I admit I'm sceptical of the results, but also that the analysis I ...

It's a very poor understanding of the financial crisis. While there is no doubt about the problems leading to the bailouts (although I would seriously question the motives), the nature of those problems put the government in a terrible position. They could make an idealistic moral decision, and not ...

You must remember that Israelis believe that the land is theirs.

A good example of how poisonous religion is, that it makes people feel that their violent crimes against humanity are justified. The same could be said of many of the Palestinian militants and their supporters as well.

I think you should capitalise it because you're talking about a specific event - so it should be a proper noun.

I cannot explain to you how Israelis feel about this. You would have to experience it for yourself. All I can tell you is that when once soldier is captured, the entire country weeps. As for the last three sentences, if you could provide links that would be great. I have definitely heard about ...

As I said before, both sides have committed war crimes, both sides are immoral and should not be supported. Neither side has policies that will ever bring about peace and both sides are committing their people to living in fear and being needlessly slaughtered.

Israeli policy... live in peace ...
