I agree with your points against Jim, but as for your latter, I do not. You provided the facts I had not the energy to acquire.
I don't mean criticize as in intelligently critique; criticizing as in "that's stupid", "Al Gore is a **Filtered** **Filtered**", etc. without evidence to back it up.
hmmm....
I suppose I can live with that, im not really in an argumentative mood.

Oh, talking to me? Well I wasn't arguing a point, haha.

Global warming has not been proven... More scientist think were going into an ice age than developing a desert climate (btw we did that already in the early cretaceous).
But pollution is becoming a serious health problem in developing nations.
IF i were you id worry more about the 80 % chance of a pandemic in the next 50 years.

I wouldn't. Given the human population compared to the natural population of most species, a pandemic would realign things in our favor.

Please point out where I specified who would get sick?
I mean us as humans, everyone; there's so many of us we're going to end up wiping ourselves out unless somethign happens to make us fight for survival.

Make us fight for survival, as in natural selection? Maybe you could elaborate. Anyways I am pretty sure as a human race we're already trying to do what we can to survive.

There are a few things to note here; our CO2 levels have multiplied by more than six times the natural amount that occurs before a warming period (which occurs before an ice age). Of course, there's a problem here. With global temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius and above currently, and CO2 levels going up by upwards of 400%, the temperatures can and likely will reach 120 degrees
Celsius (not Fahrenheit).
Do you see a problem? Let me put it to you this way: human skin begins to burn at around 60 degrees Celsius, and it takes just one second for that burn to occur. Compared to10 minutes at 49 degrees Celsius, people will surely say "oh, there's no danger".
There's another point to be looked at. Everyone seems to have this gung ho "save the planet" attitude. We aren't saving the planet though; the planet will go on without us, plants and animals will once again come to live on earth after we are all gone, because no matter how harsh global warming gets, we literally can't kill the planet; we can make conditions unlivable for plants and animals, which will eventually come back a few hundred million years from now (which isn't all that much in planetary standards). We can't kill the planet; only ourselves.
Another point to be looked at is the fact that with such a high population it would be extremely easy for a contagious disease to spread at an extremely fast rate. It would be impossible to contain it. 28 days later? Without zombies of course, it's completely possible as soon as the human population gets so large. Especially if it's an airborne virus.
And Avenger I would love for you to link me to that petition so I can verify it's credibility.

If you have no valid points to back up an argument then please don't bother making one, it usually tends to be distasteful based on the premise above.
About the surge part at the top, That depends on your time line. Let's say the earth is 600k years old. Not a big spike. But if you compress the data by, say, 10%, and their's a big change. Or something like that, I saw this guy explain everything and it made loads of sense. lol I.E. I don't remember it word for word.
BTW: Global Warming is total, and absolute BS. Sorry if you can't wrap your propaganda-filled-noggin' wit' it, but it's true. Canada agrees, UK agrees, and alot of US scientists agree. Now, You can say they are liars (Like you did), but that's like saying some food you have is rotten, there's alot of food, thus all food I have is rotten.
I'm sorry, actually, I'm
not sorry, But your fascist Bull' is retarded.
And as for the car's producing too much CO2, Cows produce more CO2 in one day from passing gas then all the cars in the world do.
So, Maybe you should take
your head
out of Al Gore's bum and smell the roses.

If only there was an epidemy whose ONLY effect would be to cause sterility...that way noone would die, just less would bear
*waits for criticism*
And well, global warming, you've already all threw out the mammoth's age I presume?
Like it was natural, so now, what happens is natural too.
We can discuss about it indeed, and as I see it's been done...
But saying Gore is fascist or anything like that...sorry but LMAO!
A democrat (don't remember?) is fascist...then what are republicans? Communists?

(reverting theory I used to have fun :p )
What cannot be denied, is that humans destroyed, destroy, and will keep destroy (yes, those who keep doing it don't listen from ones who learnt from past mistakes, and when nothing will be left, they'll ONLY can blame THEMSELVES

)
If population was smaller, less destruction would happen. That's when western countries developped themselves in numbers that destruction started.

Those who want a certain similar thing to happen don't want to wait so long.
They'll just go and hide in their underground tunnel systems and release a pathogen into the atmosphere that will wipe out most of the people on this world.
