Global warming is a reality, but it is not man-made, it is a natural ocurance. Look at medieval England: you could grow grapes there, now it is impossible to grow grapes there. A Viking probably noticed that the Arctic was losing ice, but since the things they thought worth telling were battles and feats and things like that, they did not record the boring parts of their journeys. I would not either.

1. I have done research. I do not think global warming is truly happening. I think that pollution IS an issue, but the government should NOT try to scare people into submission with this "we're all going to die because we're destroying the planet's climate" tripe.

2. Whether or not the Bible is true is a matter of personal belief. I believe it. You don't. Simple as that.

3. My belief that the Bible is true has no effect on my opinions. I'm not really entirely sure what the Bible has to do with "global warming" at all...

4. Quote time! These are mostly, er, from fictional materials (written by a scientist, though) but I think they sum up my view of the matter quite well, and fiction, you know, is just a subtler way to say things.

"...the rise in the use of the term crisis can be located with some precision in the autumn of 1989. And it seemed suspicious that it should coincide so closely with the fall of the Berlin Wall... I am leading to the notion of social control... to the requirement of every sovereign state to exert control over the behavior of its citizens, to keep them orderly and reasonably docile... And of course we know that social control is best managed through fear... For fifty years, Western nations had maintained their citizens in a state of perpetual fear. Fear of the other side. Fear of nuclear war. The Communist menace. The Iron Curtain. The Evil Empire. And within the Communist countries, the same in reverse. Fear of us. Then, suddenly, in the fall of 1989, it was all finished. Gone, vanished. Over. The fall of the Berlin Wall created a vacuum of fear... Something had to fill it... environmental crises took the place of the Cold War... There is always a cause for fear. The cause may change over time, but the fear is always with us. Before terrorism we feared the toxic environment. Before that we had the Communist menace... the specific cause of our fear may change, we are never without the fear itself. Fear pervades society in all its aspects. Perpetually... Industrialized nations provide their citizens with unprecedented safety, health, and comfort. Average life spans increased fifty percent in the last century. Yet modern people live in abject fear... of strangers, of disease, of crime, of the environment that surrounds them... germs, chemicals, additives, pollutants. They are timid nervous, fretful, and depressed. And even more amazingly, they are convinced that the environment of the entire planet is being destroyed around them..." (State of Fear, 2004)

"There are many reasons to shift away from fossil fuels, and we will do so in the next century without legislation, financial incentives, carbon-conservation programs, or the interminable yammering of fearmongers. So far as I know, nobody had to ban horse transport in the early twentieth century." (Michael Crichton, 2004)

"You egomaniacal idiot... You think you can destroy the planet? My, what intoxicating power you must have... You can't destroy the planet. You can't even come close... The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the earth- or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves." (Jurassic Park, 1990)
