I have yet to see enough proof that humans have caused global warming and not enough to say we haven't caused it. Personally I believe we have contributed but it's also natural. We should pursue alternative fuel sources for many reasons, potential global warming is just one of them.

You don't have to.
It's natural - Only if Humans didn't burn oil and industrial fumes, cutting down more trees (yes, a certain percent of humans and animals that breath out carbon dioxide contribute a little to global warming) and what not - The next ice age would happen in a few more million years, but because humans are now doing what I stated and more we've gone from a few million years to possible thousands.
again - recycle, try not to drive your car down the street to the store if you can walk it - plant some trees or plants in your back yard, turn off electrical appliances when they're not needed, send angry letters to your Government to look into alternatives like air powered and H2o powered vehicles.
We all share this planet right? so lets keep it a nice place for you, me, and the next generation.
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

I like you views, Ryu! I share the same. All problems can be solved peacefully without any argument if people become a bit more responsible.

I don't like the idea of my government dumping funds into something the private sector should be doing.
|
Private sector will only do something that will bring them money...tut tut Capitalism!
So it is FULLY necessary for the government to step in and start the innovation process. That is how bad the situation stands after a decade of laziness. Once the system is perfected and the project is at a efficient prototype stage, the private sector will come like angry hungry dogs to exploit the technology...making money and also benefiting society.
That is how it works.
EDIT: The private sector will only act IF money is thrown at them. The good thing is that you will see genuine attempts at success and you will see genuine results.
John McCain recently proposed a $300 Million project aimed at the private sector at who can develop a powerful electric car battery by 2010 (I think). You will see results soon...if the proposal is accepted ofcourse!

I'm pretty sure our planet's natural cycle is more like 30 000 years. Maybe I'm wrong but I swear I've read that before. Either way speeding it up is your point.

Problem is, the government is fucking retarded with their spending.
For example, this one school in Kansas I think it was got alot of money to improve their education system.
What'd they use it on? An olympic sized pool.
HOORAY FOR SHITTY SERVICES.
I'd have a source on that, but I can't for the life of me remember now. I did do a debate on it though, so yeah. Really not that hard to notice how most of the school spending is outright retarded, because they just think "well, we have money, so if we dump enough into this random thing, it should make it better". That's the basic mentality with the government in general.

The only thing government should be doing, is setting REASONABLE guidelines for pollution. That's it. Consumer spending, and shareholder interests will drive companies to be greener.
People are demanding 'greener' products, and guess what, the private sector is literally bending over backwards to bring those products to the public. The Chevrolet Volt, a 'plug-in' hybrid is coming out for 2010, and the Honda FCX clarity, a hydrogen vehicle, is already able to be leased. Neither of these vehicles have been funded by the government. Electronics are increasingly using less harmful plastics, and manufacturing processes are getting greener every day.

If the people don't want new fuels badly enough, companies won't change. However, if the market changes to where the majority DO want alternative fuels, things will change. Oh, how I love Capitalism.

What? You want me to admit that we can't claim it as absolute truth? That's a fucking given. There's really no such thing as an absolute truth, anyway.
It's pointless to argue the idea that it wasn't a large impact (or even volcano) that caused the mass extinction because of all of the evidence for it.
|
And then what about humans? Were they wiped out too?

I am taking back my Touché due to my small misunderstanding.
The "private sector" nowadays I thought were the smaller organizations and other individuals with some sort of initiative. It is them I was referring to. Also, I hold nothing against Capitalism. Therefore, your statement is not needed.

I'll let you in on a little secret: humans didn't exist with dinosaurs. Humans evolved from the burrowing mammals that survived the mass extinction of surface dwelling creatures.

That is the biggest bile I had ever seen...just another pawn of the elite all-knowing scientific community.

I'll quote what I said to this one chick the other day...
"What I love is how most Christians accept the science that brings us medicine, but anything that tries to tell us about the past outside of the '6,000 to 10,000 year' existence of the universe is somehow false. Talk about being closed-minded."
I'm sorry, but the scientific method isn't only accurate if it follows what mainstream Christianity teaches. The Scientific Method exists for a reason. It works, and it's damn sure reliable.
whoa.

What I don't get is why it's so fucking hard to maybe, just MAYBE, believe that God could have used evolution to create the world. Y'know, the one that started that spark and guided it along.
