Global warming caused my kid to grow obese!!

[Lorizael]

What I really hate about global warming is that it put Al Gore back in the spotlight.

No, that was McDonald's.


My first concern with global warming is the possible shutdown of the so-called Atlantic Conveyer.

This is an ocean process by which tropical waters move northward, reach about the latitude of Canada, become cold, sink, and then flow southward to the tropics.

As the glaciers and polar ice caps melt, the oceans are becoming more fresh. Fresh water is lighter than salt water. So the theory is that, with the influx of fresh waterh, the Atlantic Conveyer will break down at the point where the water sinks -- because fresh water won't sink into salt water. When the Atlantic Conveyer shuts down, warm water will not long flow over the surface of the North Atlantic. In turn, winds crossing Europe will no longer be warmed by the Atlantic but rather chilled by it. This will throw Europe into a mini-ice-age.

If this happens, it will happen very fast -- in just a decade or two. So it could happen in our time.

It's a totally discredited theory that it will shut down quickly.

We know zilch about what causes the circulation of the oceans and what it causes.

[FrostyBoy]

Well thats not true, we don't know zilch, we have been studying it for a few decades now..

And i'm sure the scientists aren't entirely wrong.. Geology is not that unpredictable when you understand the general idea of how the Earth functions.

I thought that list was what Al Qaeda causes

[Thedrin]

I thought it was for tax hikes.

Edit: I have over the last year sat in on a large number of meterorology lectures so that I could use the computers in the same room. I didn't learn much. What did catch me though was one of the lecturers - who would frequently talk about the threat of global warming - claiming on a couple of occasions that the North Atlantic conveyor was not responsible for the relatively warm weather that Europe gets. I never heard him offer an alternative explanation.

does park avenue believe in evolution? cause he sounds like someone who would also back ID

[Japher]

no, he backs EGO

[MRT144]

along with an IPA IPO?
