gawd! theres just too many things to quote here!!!
"the globe is warming" debatable, someone mentioned that they thought "winters are getting colder"... i think winters are getting warmer and summers are getting colder... its obviously a matter of perception. My theory isnot that the globe is getting warmer but stablising towards some sort of medium between winter cold and summer hot... but thats not based on anything any scientist has said
"the polar ice caps are melting"... hey, its not the first time they have done so. I am guessing that because this seems to be a reoccuring event (the melting of ice that is) that there is some sort of cycle happening.... some people in the field have even sugested that because of the melting of the icecaps we are heading towards (ever so slowly) another iceage. the science behind this was explained of course but being me, i have forgetten it
as to whether we are contributing to or expediating the melting of said icecaps, I recon our effect is minimal... tho we pollute the hell out of the planet. the melting and creation of the icecaps is part of a cycle that we dont have much to do with.
it's just like the big egoed human race to think that we are so powerful as to be able to change the course of nature in such a big way
