Antarctica is Expanding

Juan, did you know that if you don't accept global warming as fact, you will go to a place where it is really hot and the levels of brimstone are rising at an approximate rate of .235 mm/year?

Wait...

Btw, I made that number up. I have no idea what the actual projected sea level rise is, and can't be arsed to look at the moment.

I am not convinced that global warming, (oh, sorry, its been changed to Climate Change... Sorry Word Police... I forgot you all changed it... Please forgive me) is the result of "greenhouse gasses." It has been reported by the beloved science community that Mars and several other of our planets are also warming... and now, we find out that some parts of the earth are actually cooling? Yeah, I'm not convinced... especially when there have been documents about the Club of Rome (http://www.clubofrome.com) actually releasing statements on the order of inventing scare tactics such as global calamity to curb pollution. Basically, if the truth doesn't stop people from pollution, then its okay to make up some big fucking lie to scare them to death. Who cares, they will believe it anyway, since they are mostly medicated out of their skulls.

They changed it to climate change for that reason, the majority of the world is getting warmer, and because of the complex ways that winds and heat in the oceans work, some spots where warmer air is pushed to are receiving less of it(relatively speaking-artic air isn't warm from our point of view, but parts are warmer), but overall, the world is getting warmer, not because plants are being cut down, but because there is a layer of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that traps heat(the usual analogy is a greenhouse).

Just a note: the majority of life that turns carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon in sugars are single celled plankton, I don't know the number off of my head but it's at least 2/3 of oxygen is produced by plankton. Thats why water polution can be an even bigger problem.

The consequences for acting on climate change and being wrong are far worse than the consequences of not acting on climate change and being wrong.

Everyone says this and it's annoying as hell. It sounds like what the Christians say about believing.... because if you're wrong... nothing happens...

You have to take the likelihood into account. Climate change being caused or influenced by humanity is far more likely than the existence of the christian god.

Yeah, but you know what I was saying. I'm just saying that is exactly a Christianity arguement.

Also-even if globalb warming doesn't happen we would still save multitudes of ecosystems, species and in general preserve ourselves and the planet better.

BOOM-that's the sound of my head exploding. That sounds like something else a Christian could argue. "Even if we're wrong we are still doing good."
I think you're trolling me now...

I see! Conservative Christians are really environmentalists.. they all use the same tactics!
