Predictions of doom
wnd.com — Here is a column that sheds light on all of the predictions of the end of our way of life, the planet, and raw materials. It begs the question, why should we pay attention to the scaremongers and global warming freaks?

- 140Suffolk, on 05/07/2008, -3/+7These enviro-lefties never seem to answer these excellent questions: 25 years ago you adamantly said there was another Ice Age coming. Why should we believe you now? Mars is experiencing melting on it's polar ice caps. Since there are no SUVs on Mars, doesn't that indicate that any warming is NOT man-made? It has recently come out that Al Gore used move special-effects for at least some of his most dramatic scenes -- in what was supposed to be a documentary! Does that means he's a liar?
- cashman57, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4I can remember some of the goofy ideas that were presented to stop the coming ice age that included dumping ashes on the polar ice in order to melt it. ABC news had a story today telling us all about how Koalas will disappear if we don't stop "climate change". One thing Gore didn't mention in his manifesto "Eart In The Balance" was the fact that the IPCC computer model that predicts these dire results could only reach that conclusion by omitting all data from volcanic activity.
That means you can either believe in globalwarmig/climatechange or volcanoes.
All three Senators believe in globalwarming/climate change to differing degrees - yaffer, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1i think these predictions and political remedies are fine... with one caveat: if they prove to be wrong the 'prophet' and every member of his family must be strung up by their necks until they're dead.
- Texican74, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2And to think I believed Rachel Carson ... until I became a fisheries biologist, did some work in West Africa, southern Australia, and the Gulf Coast - then I realized that the appropriate use of DDT would have saved many lives, folks I knew. The enviro-Nazi's are a wacked bunch of pseudo-thinkers. Me? I'm trying to figure out the next "global disaster" so I can cash in big time just like Algore.
- chicofaraby, on 05/08/2008, -7/+3I find it amusing that the climate change deniers are the same people who believe Iraq had WMD.
- cashman57, on 05/08/2008, -2/+5I guess you don't know much.
I was against the Iraq use of force and have been since the start.
Prove your point and link me to one single solitary computer model that shows globalwarming/climatechange without omitting all data from volcanic activity.
When you can't do that, you should then stop pretending a tax will fix a problem that does not exist except in the small minds of a few.
The truth is you can either believe in globalwarming/climate change or volcanoes.
Which one do you believe in?- chicofaraby, on 05/08/2008, -3/+4"The truth is you can either believe in globalwarming/climate change or volcanoes."
So if I find the overwhelming number of climatologists that agree with climate change theory to be convincing, I can't believe in volcanoes?
Are you sure that's true? I'm just saying, I'm finding it easy to believe in both climate change AND volcanoes. Maybe that's just me.- cashman57, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3You cannot find an overwheliming number of "climatotologists" who "agree with the climate change theory". That number is far from overhwhelming.In fact there are more people who disagree with the conclusions for the simple reason that the conclusion is only valid absent data from volcanic activity.
Now, show me one single solitary computer model that shows "climatechange" without omitting ALL DATA from volcanic activity.
Those same climatologists cannot even tell you how many volcanoes there are, so if you want to believe in them you are being played for a fool.

- AlwaysAwake, on 05/19/2008, -1/+1The actions occurring within our natural environment are much too varied and complex to lend themselves to more than a very tiny fraction of understanding using the human linear thinking intellectual process. Both the doomsayers, and those who deny any human impact at all, are operating upon intellectual conclusions, assumptions with little, if any basis in fact. The disastrous consequences of human behavior upon ourselves, and other living creatures and organisms, however, can be easily understood, by paying attention to our addiction to the intellectual idea of Authority, and what has, and is being done, by and to us, as a result. In this limited area, there is much credible evidence and facts to support quite plausible doomsday scenarios, which involve merely a repetition of past historical behaviors and consequences, as a result of Authority Addiction.
- RHMiller, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2I am weary of any theory that sets it up so that no matter what happens it validates the theory. If it's hot as hell outside - global warming. If it's cold as a witch's nipple - yup, global warming causes "erratic weather" too. Thus, the theorists have answers for everything and the theory is ALWAYS right, just like religion.
