I seriously doubt they would base an entire movie about something as serious as climate change, on 'myth'. An classifying the best example to date of sudden catastrophic climate change and it's affects on the world as nothing more than 'myth' is very arrogant and I don't commend your argument for saying something like that.
as is al gores film "an inconvenient truth" (which btw, he was sued for).
I have yet to mention that movie, an seeing how passionate you are about it makes me regret ever have renting the damn thing. I don't place much stalk in what present or ex-politicians have to say about anything. An using one terrible example of a man using global warming as a means to not only make money but to spread fear in the form of awareness is also not going to earn your argument any merit.
if global warming is a result of mans carbon footprint, then please explain to me how come the ice caps on mars are reseeding at a much faster rate than they are here on earth and please explain to me how a couple of saturn's moons which were once solid balls of ice, have liquefied in so short a space of time.
I'm not sure if it's general knowledge or not but, I believe there is a figure floating around about how the entire solar system heats up by 10% every million years or so. Your right that man doesn't have that much of an impact, but I hope your not saying we haven't contributed at all. Because it's a little late in the game to be copping out and saying there is no way global warming is a product of our way of living.
what you people have to realize is that we (man) have been living on planet earth in a time of relative calm in respect to the planets weather, terrestrial and cosmic events such as meteor/asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions, ice ages and earthquakes.
An apparently what you have YET to realise is that, it's no longer possible to underestimate man or his impact on his planet. It's called pollution, an regardless of whether you've picked up a book in the last 50 years or not, doesn't mean you can pretend that man isn't in some form or another tied to the well-being of the climate and quality of living for all life on this planet. But perhaps it's a conclusion your not willing to craft an argument strong enough to support.
i've seen many programs on the subject and it wasn't to long ago that we had mini ice ages, the dark ages went threw such an event and if memory serves, the temp dropped by upto 10 degrees (but don't quote me on that figure).
I would hardly call mini anything similar to what I was referencing in my previous post. An Ice Age is in every sense, for 90% of all life above and below the water an extinction level event. Granted I know life was hell back in the medieval period but, I'd hardly classify those two events as one and the same, on any scale.
earths past has been anything but tranquil and to blame all of earths climate problems on man is very wrong.
Agreed. An when I actually blame us all for everything that goes wrong on this planet or in the solar system I'm sure that argument will apply to me. But considering I have never stated anything close to that, it's pretty off-base for you to speak as an authority on the mater, of anyone being right or wrong. Considering the fore-mentioned holes and lack of stability in your current argument and way of thinking.
