Understanding NPF debate threads in one easy panel.

Good thing we got rid of the discussion forum so that doesn't happen anymore.

Really dodged a bullet there.

Yeah now the arguments only happen in every single subforum!

I forgot we got rid of the discussion forum
 

You're all a bunch of cocksuckers. Globally warmed cocksuckers.

But anyways, so I actually watched most of the video and found it very interesting, however in the end it was pretty much the same thing that happens here, except with bigger words.

Someone cites a source, someone invalidates that source and cites their own, someone says "nuh uh" so on and so forth.

I think the pertinent information is that yes, humans have and are continuing to change the global climate. This is a bad thing, not a good thing.

However, I came away disagreeing with the resolution they were debating on. I don't think climate change is the "defining issue of mankind" or whatever, fuck if anything nuclear weaponry still is, but moreso than that it's rampant poverty in developing nations, and going green cold turkey isn't going to do fuck all for developing nations, who will likely face strict economic sanctions for their inability to meet first world green standards.

We should work on it yes, I feel that developed nations should make efforts to decrease their carbon footprints drastically, but trying to force the rest of the world to measure up to first world benchmarks is probably detrimental.

No valid and/or informed claim proving human induced global warming wrong as a scientific theory has been presented in this thread. Nor has one such argument been made against changing our ways and our dependance on fossil fuels. Not one. It is good to be skeptical, but there is a big difference between that and convinient ignorance.

uh well, considering the very true fact that we've added about 30% more carbon to the atmosphere than before the industrial revolution... I don't think anyone CAN make a valid or informed claim that human induced global warming is wrong.

Because its not wrong.

Nor can anyone really say that we should go on like this forever since, well there's only so much fossil fuel on the planet so we will eventually stop whether we want to or not.

The real question isn't should we do something or is it happening, it's what should we do and how.

That's what the video debate was about... at the beginning of the thread.

So hey, on the subject, there's a new news article that helps illustrate some of the current, terrifying effects: http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20...latchy/3444187

They were paid by the government.

Obviously.

Obviosly. Didn't you know that lack of oxygen is actually good for marine life?

Wrong isn't the term I'd use, rather I use the term "bad". Because it is from many perspectives, one major one being the diminishing biodiversity of plant and animal life on earth.
