Human-caused planetary emergency or hoax? Are we living life on the frontlines of global change?
Is this the legacy we want to leave our children?

Rick: Leftist? The AARP? That%26#039;s rich. In any case, the author of the article has been writing about the subject for 20 years. He%26#039;s bound to have become fairly well informed -- and opinionated -- over that period of time.

I think it%26#039;s wonderful that the older generations want to be informed about what%26#039;s going on.

Another respondent cited a recent climate change conference site, but the author bought into the %26quot;us%26quot; and %26quot;them%26quot; line of thought. Since we all live on the one planet with the same resources, this approach doesn%26#039;t work for me, or the world. But thanks for sharing it, I do try to keep in touch with what everyone is thinking, hence this question!

Can you understand that for 10 years global temperatures are flat or falling while CO2 levels keep rising - see graph:
http://nzclimatescience.net/images/PDFs/...
This disproves the CO2 greenhouse gas %26#039;Forcing Theory%26#039;.
Can you even deal with this?

Edit: YES AARP is definitely Leftists - Hate Bush, promotes bigger government, supports leftists causes, etc. etc.!
You obviously can%26#039;t deal with the fact that temperatures have NOT followed the increasing CO2 levels.
CO2 is NOT an evil GHG that is increasing because of man%26#039;s activity. The warming oceans expel the beneficial CO2 and when oceans cool enough the CO2 levels will DROP!
You will not read this - but for the sake of other misinformed children:

Warming oceans are driven by the Sun%26#039;s emissions with a lag time of several months - expect cooling temperatures!

Yes , we are responsible for damaging the life habitat / over all environment in most brutal manner ignoring the future of the planet that we are to hand out to our next generation. If we don%26#039;t put a check on preserving the ozone layer which has already been damged to a great extent threatening the balance of environment, we are definitely heading for the worst.
I believe, we should jointly do the job ......the worst has been done already by the developed countries who are now now simply blaming pointing fingers at this or that country. Fact is , greater responsibility must be shouldered by the rich countries in creating awareness among the developing nations with resources which they don%26#039;t have .....with some expertise which they lack. President Bush%26#039;s statement %26quot; the Kyoto Protocol is against the US interest and hence the US is no longer a party to this%26quot;%26gt; It was really a stupid statement from the head of the world%26#039;s most advanced country . His ignorance has no limit .....so also , his sense of gravity of the matter.What%26#039;s the harm if we create a more healthy environment for the living ones on this planet ?%26gt; Why do people keep arguing that %26quot;this isn%26#039;t a fact%26quot;. . The present science has reached such an advancement that we can easil measure how much damage has already been caused and what more will happnen if things go unchecked.
World population has to be controlled , environment has to be improved through joint effort of all.......this is not the time to enter into debates on ........ %26#039;%26#039;correct or not that global warming is a threat to us ....our climate , vegetation , various surviving species of today......and that we are responsible for the damage and that we can definitely improve this.%26quot;

We sure, are last summer here in South Australia we broke all history records for all summer ever recorded so I%26#039;m thinking now ,OK ,so its not a ice age in Australia its going to be shocking heat like we have never known before in the States its looking like more storms and tornado destruction as is happening now and for the last few years.
We thought our drought was over but it looks like we have had as much rain as we are going to get so everyone is trying to get a water tank or recycle water off garages and the roofs unfortunately the run off into barrels isn%26#039;t for drinking for need to have a proper rain water tank that cost well over $1.000 not good for pensioners

I don%26#039;t think we want to leave a legacy of inflated oil/ethanol/energy/food prices and deforestation/excess water consumption/excess gas consumption (to grow ethanol crops), and global taxes to them either.

Beings many of the same global warming scientist are now saying we are going back to a ice age then I would say hoax. Who in there right minds can believe any of them? They can%26#039;t even predict tomorrows weather let alone the global future

If we don%26#039;t life flight our environmental policies %26amp; attitudes to the E.R. stat we%26#039;ll all be D.O.A.

scaring the kids future with doom and gloom is not funny

yes, we are doing it every day
