Global Warming - Hoax?

[fasternyou929]

Ok, I did a search and didn't see this posted anywhere here: http://www.examiner.com/x-25061-Clim...nts-and-emails

Granted, a lot of those e-mails could be taken out of context, but one would be pretty hard pressed to describe a context where the wording would be acceptable.

I'm sure AquaPython's already read this... what's your take?

Interesting.. but how real is it? I don't know about " warming" per say, but I do know that the climate has changed over the past 20 years or so. We used to get a lot more snow than we do now, it's the end of November and there is not a flake on the ground! I swear summers used to be hotter too, but that just might be the memory of a child who loved to spend her summers running around outside.

I definitely think there has been global climate change. And in my mind it seems to be happening a lot faster than it used to (based on historical graphs).

I remember cold cold winters with tons of snow. Now, we hardly get anything.

Thats strange, because were getting more and more cold and snow (and I love it!)

The winter of 07 here was cms away from being a record year. Over 415cms.
That is a shit-ton of snow.

Yea? Well that was in Canada. What the fuck does Kelly know about Canadian winters...anyway... oh yea. Hey Kelly what part of Canada do you live in?

BTW it snowed here in North Carolina last year and closed the town down for a couple days.

Yea but that's what the woolly mammoths use to say too! The debate isn't over whether or not the climate changes, we have millions of years of fossil evidence and thousands of years worth of historical evidence to prove that it has changed many times in the past. The debate centers on whether or not "we" have caused it to change in ways that it wouldn't normally.

I have seen articles outside of this thread that have suggested that the numbers have been purposefully skewed and that, in fact, the planet has been cooling over the last decade. Besides, I may be the only one old enough to remember this, but when I was a kid there was a global cooling scare going on for a while. Scientists and "experts" were convinced that we were headed towards another ice age.
