Well, on a serious note, global warming is but a cycle of heating and cooling, we just happen to be in the time of heating. Ya know, they used to say we were causing global cooling. Funny, huh?

But even still, we are dumping too much crap into the air and stuff. It’s like throwing dirt in a bowl of spaghetti Os. Soon, it’s gonna get really nasty and no one’s gonna wanna eat it and we’ll have to make a whole new pot of the stuff.

I don’t understand how you guys can just sit here and say 'oh Global Warming is due to some cycle thing that I barely understand'. Since when did you lot know more than the thousands of scientists in the world who have verified Global Warming’s existence? More specifically, that it’s anthropogenic? How many of you even know what that means?. The cause and existence is no longer under discussion in the serious scientific world.

Seriously, get your heads out of your asses. To think you know better than the best minds in the world is a total fallacy, and displays an untold level of arrogance.

You claim that AGW is the result of the planet’s natural cycle. Do you even understand that? Do you understand how many there are? Don’t make wild accusations at the expense of the scientific community when you know nothing of the subject.

Secondly, you claim that it’s nothing to worry about. This shows your total lack of understanding of how the complex cycles and systems of this planet works. Even slight heating of the atmosphere is catastrophic. The last time the planet’s mean temperature rose by 6 degrees; 95% of life on earth was wiped out and the sea and air turned acidic.

And what’s the current prediction for temperature rise? 6 degrees by 2080. Bearing in mind that the last rise took several thousand years, as opposed to 100, that’s pretty catastrophic. And the even more devestating news? 6 degrees is a highly conservative estimate, and many scientists agree that 10 degrees is more likely. With news coming out last month that the planet’s Carbon stores are failing (do you know what those are? Can you name them? Their capacity and impact? I doubt it), and last week’s news that AGW may be occurring 3 times faster than previously predicted, do you not think that’s something to worry about?

At the very least, food shortages will be dire and famine will be common place. At the same time, sea level rise is going to result in almost every major city in the world being underwater, along with 2/3 of the world’s population. Obviously they won’t all drown, but instead they’ll move inland. How easy do you think it will be to find homes for 7 billion displaced people (bearing in mind that the planet’s population will have reached 10 billion by this point at least)? Also, the world’s economic centres will be submerged. The economic upheaval will be staggering.

My point is, before you blindly state that AGW doesn’t exist, or perhaps more stunningly, that is isn’t a problem, do some reading. Research it. Don’t just blindly accept the line that someone told you once because it’s the easiest thing to accept.

The debate is no longer 'does Anthropogenic Global Warming exist?', it is now 'will the human race survive it?'.

What makes you think you know better than the entire scientific community?
