Hey guys. usedHONDA and other members here from Florida might no be on today because the power might have go out for them. I think most of North Florida might not have any power even though I'm close to where usedHONDA is.

I think the power for me might go out soon.

Global warming has been proven to exist...

Tell my Science teacher that. :(

He steadfastly holds his claim. I tried to convince him once, but to no avail. :(

finds your science teacher's phone number

calls them

yells "Global Warming IS REAL!"

Damn global warming messin' with the order of things.

Global warming is the order of things. Global warming would be happening right now, whether humans exist or not.

WHY must us humans insist that preserving the planet in exactly the same state as it was when we first showed up is the right thing to do?

Change is the natural order of the universe. Who are we to try and halt it?

The Earth has been constantly changing since it first came into being, and will continue to change until it eases to exist. By which time mankind will either be long extinct, or have colonized and settled on other planets.

I'm not saying that pumping our atmosphere full of bloody potato that doesn't belong there isn't a bad thing, and that we should just continue doing it. 'Cause it's a bad thing, and we should not continue doing it. When I go to California - or even Denver during the summer - in certain places, I can barely breathe. Smog is bleaghhh.

But global warming would be happening even if we had never discovered that burning fossil fuels is a powerful source of energy. I mean, honestly. Any difference we're making in the matter is extremely marginal. Cows belching contributes to global warming far more than fossil fuels, and even that is an extremely small part of what's causing it.

The point I'm trying to make is that global warming is just part of the natural life cycle of our planet. And I don't see why people are making such a big deal out of it.

I'm here, though there's a tornado watch going on in our area right now.

It's raining like heck over here right now. It was also very windy. The wind was like going like 15mph. I'm not sure if that's fast for wind, but all I can tell you is that it was very fast. :P

There are many hundreds of scientists and meteorologists who agree with you, pyrochild. I happen to agree, as well; I think it's ridiculous to imagine that us pitiful humans have the ability to destroy the robust ecosystem of an entire planet.

I haven't seen any satisfactory proof that we're causing global warming. Not that I want to keep polluting - I like clean air as much as the next guy - I just don't like Al Gore's religion. And that's what it is, too. They even excommunicate nonbelievers from the scientific community.

Besides, there's considerable evidence that we're currently on our way out of an ice age - so a thawing is pretty normal, and should be followed within the next million years or so by a subsequent cooldown.

And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Me either. :-)

Now, back to your regularly scheduled hurricane.

I believe that we have currently gained the power to destroy the ecosystem and it was evident when humans had the ability to overcome work. If we can create thousands of things without even touching them, we have done something wrong as a race. And besides, going green doesnt necassarily mean you are trying to be a 'save the environment' man. I wrote a blog post along time ago about this when I went green, and I love it.

Hehe, I was hit head on by hurricane Charlie a few years ago. It's wrath was so direct that the eye of the storm was directly over the complex according to the local radar :)

It was cool to watch those transformers explode. So many colors!

And I have just noticed that DA now has more posts than UH.

Yeah, that was kinda inevitable, so I didn't fight it :)

Oh, and now that we're on the subject of global warming, there have been some radical things happening over the last few days concerning C02 (sorry, no subscript). The good ol' guys at the Los Alamos National Laboratory has discovered a low-cost, low-risk way to convert C02 gasses into sulfer-free organic chemicals useful for automobile fuel in the future. More info here:

EDIT: BTW, scientists have been noticing [for about a year now] that the melting of Mars' ice cap, meaning that what is currently known as global warming may be caused by the Sun!

Melting? Caused by the sun?! Preposterous! Don't try to fill my head with your radical nonsense, usedHONDA!
