I don't Believe In global warming.

I think people are freaking out over a natural event in the earth.

the earth changes.. its not going to stay the same... it was once a ball of hot lava... and it will again be a ball of hot lava.

Were just alone for the ride.

we are going through weather changes, (BTW technically we are not in an ice age right now) http://dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20040607/iceage.html

Right now, we're in an interglacial period of an ice age. The poles are covered in ice, as are mountain tops and large parts of continental land masses.

your chances of dying from global warming are less then the chance of me taking a shit on your chest.

While I agree that we are due for a massive earth quake, it doesn't necessarily mean its going to happen anytime soon. If I'm not mistaken Yellowstone national park's supervolcano erupts on average every 600,000 years and its been something like 640,000 since its last eruption. Its really interesting stuff. My guess is if that volcano went off, we would be in trouble

There is a cool audiobook I'm listening to from Audible which touches on all this and a shitload of more stuff.

i think about this kinda shit on a regular basis... not everyday though cause it gets depressing and would make someone go crazy if they thought about it all the time....

like some people have pointed out.... ull be long gone b4 global warming does anything... there are other things i would be more scared of right now... like nucuelar war.......

u should read the latest adbusters.. its pretty much on all the stuff your talking about and more... and how were nicely fucking ourselves over by using so much natural resources... yadi yadi... if u can.. u should read u... its really interesting.

I agree with you, thinking about it everyday does get depressing (and frustrating for me), besides there are other things in this world to be concerned about....

I like adbusters a lot, but they usually don't say anything I don't already know
