Why is Global warming so 2 sided??? If it is such an issue why doesn%26#039;t the goverments mandate immediate action to stop it? Why just the little things like increase this tax or that tax? Or forcing citizens to buy a certain kind of light bulb even though it has mercury in it? Why keep letting companies dump waste? Why not limit breeding to one child per family? Can you fairly say one side is more right than the other without just getting so upset that you cannot think straight???

I should point out that I am on the (I think it%26#039;s BS band wagon) that it is because of our human footprint. But I am also open to hear other oppinions to base my theory%26#039;s on. I just don%26#039;t understand how people can be so adimant to point fingers without all the details and proof.

Also, yes there is something going on up there and around us. We can take our own steps to make things better. But I don%26#039;t like people telling I HAVE TO or else. Or else what? The earth is trying to heal itself. It will get way worse before it gets better.

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_...
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

EVERY major scientific organization says it%26#039;s real and mostly caused by us.

The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

I agree with you :)

wow are you guys really this ignorant to whats going on?... ok yes first off the earth does naturally go through a global warming process but the problem is with us. We produce way to much greenhouse gases and its greatly effecting the ozone. I am not even going to get into it because seeing this question and reading these comments disgusts me.. you people are the kind of people that afraid of whats out there because you dont understand it. and also as much as i support the FACT that global warming is not a godamn theory ....al gore is a retard ....lol 2 sided get a grip and wake up. me... 2nd year geophysics/oceanology student

1 word

economy

If the government actually starts to spend money to help stop it, it has to bring out the cash. And that means that it has to update its policies on CO2 emissions and things of the sort. And especially since the country%26#039;s in a recession, they%26#039;re not going to force people to buy energy efficient light bulbs even though they make so much sense. Even if they had to, how would they enforce it? Have a secret police who inspects it? In America, they can%26#039;t instate the one child law. Do you have any idea how many people would riot? Anyways, that%26#039;s not a huge cause of concern here because our population in a developed country has pretty much evented out.

So for all those reasons we%26#039;re screwed.

and btw, gravity is not a theory. it%26#039;s a law b/c it can be proven mathematically. but evolution is a theory

The idea of freedom is limited government, however we the people have a responsibility to take action on our own. My concern with Global warming it that it may in fact back fire and the aftermath could be counterproductive. The dramatization of what could happen is not something I can grab hold of and fear has a motivator is short lived. No matter what you believe, you have to understand that mismanagement of anything will lead to demise. The earth will go on, however that is no excuse to abuse the resources we are provided with.

cause it is bull$h!T

if you look at the past earth temperatures
its actually really really low compared to what it was

Well heres the thing...

Even though the government and law officials put a stop to pot smoking, people still do it. ILLEGALLY. And to be quite honest, in my opinion, the government is just using global warming as another ploy to get money. Yes, it may be occuring, but if it was that much of a threat, they would jump to immediate actions as you mentioned.

As wrong as it is though, where are the companies supposed to dump the wastes?? It is a major cause of loss of wildlife, but keeping it laying around is a threat to the human population also. Even to come up with a new way to get rid of these wastes, you need someone to come up with an idea for a way, and even then engineers/constructors to put it together.

And most families would not agree to limit child birth. That is just insane.

In my opinion, I don%26#039;t believe either side is fair. The government just wants more money and to hell with everything else.

There are only 2 sides.
Global warming is occuring and affecting the earth%26#039;s ecosystem(true)
and
Let%26#039;s deny everything

Lets all march to the same beat and wear the same color uniform and yell out ,,,,long live the king Al Gore
