It's not breeding if it's with another guy.

That is the natural progression.
Planet warms over time, ice melts, gradually incresing atompheric moisture as it continues to warm, then eventually it hits the tipping point and the cooling begins and...
viola! We have the next ice age.
Or a giant meteor or astroid hits us and instantly (geologically speaking) brings on the big chill...

How much more rapidly things are happening due to human emissions, well, it could be happening faster, but it's still a natural process.
And the Earth has healed itself from some pretty nasty astronomic catastophes before.
Personally I could care less if human kind manages to survive as well.

But it would be nice to see humanity take a turn toward more natural, renewable and less destructive means of survival.

Yeah, lets kill all those warmongering fuckers with huge carbon footprints and foul mouths.

Do you have any idea how many tons of greenhouse gasses are rocketed into the air each and every time a gun is fired? We are literally shooting holes in our protective layer of ozone when an innocent bystander gets mowed down in a drive by! This must be stopped for the sake of the planet.

Have you ever smelled the fart of a vegetarian? It's them plus the cows we don't kill for meat who are the ones causing global warming.

When I see limbs removed for voting Mccain, or whites preparing an air strike on black neighborhoods, sure. Until then I'd have to say no.

The globe isn't warm enough until Greenland melts and the Vikings can move back there.

I'm all for more eco-conferences around the world, since Gore and everyone else flies to those in private jets.

I don't believe those conditions only exist now or are going to suddenly get extraordinarily worse due to Global Warming. They've been there a long time and there haven't been shitloads of terrorists against the US because of them. "Terrorism" is usually brought upon by people so caught up in their beliefs that they want to eradicate people that oppose them or eradicate the people who attempt to oppress them. They usually target the government that is oppressing them. So it has very little to due with global instability due to climate change (supposing this is going to be a rapid effect) and a hell of a lot more to do with foreign policy.

I'm all for reducing our arrogant and ignorant consumption of resources. But I believe the "increased terrorism" claim in this study is bullshit buzzword fearmongering.

That article made me giggle

If the same thing happens again a lot more people are going to be persuaded about the consequences of global warming

Shit gets warmer, cold stuff melts faster - I dont think thats an argument that needs to be won

Edit: But reading through the comments there really are some fucking stupid people out there

Ask the people of Cyprus if there's global warming or not!
