Did you ever think that humanity might just be a virus that the earth is trying to sweat out by global warming????

but, nope.
have you just watched the matrix or something?
ETS global warming is a storm in a teacup :yes:
No. I think if nature really wanted to kill us off, it would come up with a smarter, quicker way of doing so.
I do think its pretty interesting that we've been messing up the planet for 8000 years though... and that you can see the effects of the plague in clamatic records!
HIV?
Hmm, possibly, but it's no longer really a terminal illness as opposed to a chronic one.
Pandemic flu however...
As for what I think, no, I don't think the earth is alive. Of course I can't say for sure.
But I do think there's some kind of balance in the universe, that tends to correct itself. Whether global warming is part of that correction, I don't know.
thats what I was thinking.
Think about it, in geological timescales the next 20,000 years is a mere blip...
As for the OP. Humans are just another animal. Remember that.
says you
But I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson and the Bush administration know better.
I don't even think George Bush denies global warming, he just doesn't want it to get in the way of his friends making money. And Jeremy Clarkson is probably more pissed off at the fact that road users seem to be being disproportionately penalised compared to other heavily polluting things.
I'm not sure anyone disputes global warming. The dispute is what causes it, (ie humans or natural changes to the climate)
And I think that George Bush is with the majority on this one. His cited reasons for rejecting Kyoto was that he didn't feel that India and China were required to reduce emissions enough compared to the USA, not because reducing emissions will have no effect on global warming. Basically, he rejected Kyoto for economic reasons, not scientific ones.
Oh, and just for the record, when people claim that certain members of the scientific community deny the human causes of global warming, remember that certain members of the scientific community still deny that smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. The difference is that the fossil fuel companies have done a much better PR job than the tobacco companies, and made it appear that there's actually still a raging debate in the scientific community about this, when in reality, the only debates are on the precise extent to which human emmissions are responsible.
