This is a powerful flash presentation id like to spread around.
Global warming is a very real threat and we all know this to be true. People need to bring the debate to the family dinner table and show the signs of progress on the future vote tally. Tell the oil barons to piss off because we want our blue planet back.

| Just a little bit ago on Fox News a man from Accuweather was pointing out the climate changes in recent, and post ice age history. The temp goes up and down, and "global warming" is just a lie fabricated by the tree huggers. |

Yes its proven that the Earths climate is ever changing but to ignore the effects that man has made is negligent at best.
In Phoenix AZ they dont have monsoons anymore. The storms that do come are held at the outskirts of town by the hot rising heat plume off the concrete and asphalt. In SoCal May grey is now June Gloom into July and in the last 4 years into August. The west coast sees 4-6 months of red tide when its only suppose to be 2 weeks in winter and 2 weeks in summer. The ice caps are melting, the oceans are rising, this is for real. Not some science fiction movie.
We are trashing our planet and we need to change that before our population puts the nail in the coffin. |

No. You and I can both discuss a false picture and talk in truth of our opinions of it. No lies just our honest opinion of it. False images induce just as much truthful conversation as real pictures. |

C02 is a greenhouse gas. Burning fossil fuels releases C02. Therefor burning fossil fuels leads to global warming.
Cyanide is a poison. There is cyanide in apples. Therefor eating apples will kill you.
Same logic.
Each of these arguments fail to answer the question of whether or not there is enough of the offending agent to have a significant effect. |

I don't see how the "we're not killing our enviornment" folks can seriously keep it up.
Here's a simple experiment:
1. Buy a goldfish
2. Buy a goldfish bowl
3. Fill the goldfish bowl with clean water
4. Climatize the fish to the water
5. Let the fish swim around
6. Put in a small air pump to provide oxygen
7. Feed the fish but don't clean the bowl for 1 month
Result: Dead fish
We're doing the same thing folks... by the time it's too late, I'll be worm food, which is just as well. |
