- blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I always worry about the short time horizons most studies use. 10,000 years might seem like a long time, but in comparison to the Earth's history it is a very small sample.

- Dewhead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Its really hard to buy into the "global crisis" when Gore is jetting around the world dooming us all with his own personal output. I might pay attention when all of the global warming alarmists move into tents and give up all of their evil capitalistic comsumptions and live off the land.
- Renork, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1People do not realize that even if we are the main contributing factor, getting rid of the SUV, conserving energy, or any thing else people are always urging each other to do is not going to do jack ***** in the long run. There are simply too many of us and our numbers are only going up.

Should we just stop eating/harvesting livestock?
What about all of the other things that are essential to our continued existence that have environmental impact?
Without a significant drop in population our ability to minimize any effect we might have is futile, if we reduce our effect by 1/4 our population will grow by enough to make up the difference in only a few years.
We have two options.
1: Greatly influence global reproductive trends to slow/reduce our population growth.
2: Hope that anything we do pales in comparison to other planetary and galactic cycles and that things will just progress like were not even here. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3The didn't list the ninth, 10th -- and most compelling -- fallacies that underpin global warming.
9. Al Gore is nuts.
10. His followers are stupid. - phoobaar, on 10/29/2007, -0/+0The most offensive fallacy is number 6. Every I hear the words "peer-review," I know someone is trying to silence me.
