      Would you tell this to the citizens of Tuvalu? They've been begging the UN to help them Their country is sinking so badly they've been pleading for years to the Australian government to accept all of their citizens. They're not the only country in the Paciific that is experiencing it.

      Here is just of thounsands of links. Yet this is "fear based crap."

        C/M

        Here's an advertisement for tourism on Tuvalu Island. If it's sinking so quickly then why advertise for tourists?
        Btw, islands created from atolls all have the problem of the ocean's force continually battering the atolls over time it breaks down and undermines the coral structures and sometime they get wiped out when the coral is so weakened it can no longer hold back the sea. This has nothing to do with global warming and more to do with Tuvalu getting dollars and attention from the UN.

          If it is sinking, why advertise for tourists?

          Why shouldn't they be trying to keep their tourism industry as long as they can?

          Your tourist brochure is not much of an argument against a science study,
          Wolf.

          I guess it is kinda something.
          Well, sorta in a way.
          Kinda.

        I don't know about you, but if you go to any un biased website which has been tracking the average temperature of the earth, it has been increasing at an much faster rate than later on. Nobel scientists say there is global warming caused by man. Get with the program. I have no idea what your iobject is in denial. The reason I didn't put down links is because even sites like NOAA you would say were left wing

            Again you come to us with your scientists , engineer!

            As if we did not already know that the vast majority of scientists have
            stated that man-made global climate change is occuring.

            The mere accumulation of vast expert agreement coupled with exhaustive
            field tests and refined testing from diferent branches of science,
            is insuficient .

            Do you think that can rival someone saying 'Al Gore is a fat alarmist' ?

            It is not enough to have proof, engineer;
            you must also proove that you have proof.

            And then you must proove that .

              Good idea, start there and get ack to me,,, while you're at it prove God exists in your spare time.

                The definition of God will include all superlatives that involve the quality of goodness.
                God is, by definition, Strongest, Kindest, Smartest, etc.
                'To Exist' is a quality of goodness, in that it is good to exist and bad to not exist.
                Therefore Existence is a required part of the definition of God.

                Ergo: God exists.

                  and by inclusion God is Good...

                  Interesting.

                  Goodness inclusive not subjective.

                  I like that.

                    Thank you St. Anselm.

                    Who says existence is better than non-existence?

                        Don't worry about it! I'm sure that argument is public domain by now.

                    I absolutely believe in God!!! There is plenty of proof. Einstein believed in God and so do the majority of scientists!!

              This topic is going to be one of the things people in 200 - 300 years will be looking back at us and wondering why in the hell were we so stupid to not do anything when we had the chance...

              I'm sure if NASA discovered a meteor 100 miles long was flying its way towards earth, and it was projected that it would hit in the middle of the US (red state area, by the way), the same people who are laughing now would be the first to say "DO SOMETHING, YOU FU**ING GOVERNMENT". You know they would..."SAVE US, SAVE US" would be their mantra...and they'd be the first to complain when they found out nothing could be done...

              It's always easier to put it off on the next generation...let them deal with it...right?
