http://news.yahoo.com/former-global-warming-skeptic-makes-total-turnaround-113037588.html

I am not looking to start a fight, though I am sure it is inevitable. I am just curious if those here have changed their thoughts one direction or the other towards man-made global warming. From my casual observations, it seems that more people believe but less people care.

It's possible; there have been warming cycles throughout history. The ripoff is how much is man-made and how much of it could be corrected after trillions of dollars of expenditures. Also, if it's truly global are all of the countries willing to pony up to correct the estimated 4-6% that could possibly be altered?

Where do you get this figure? It's really difficult to get an accurate estimate of global monetary supply, but my best guess would be somewhere between 14 and 20 trillion dollars.

Every time I see this TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!! I realize that global warming, obamacare, social security and welfare are eating up several times the amount of money that exists in the world, and I can't help but think of Dr. Evil demanding $100 trillion in 1967 to a very amused United Nations.

I won't argue for or against any of these things being prohibitively expensive, but they don't require the totality of money in existence.

The figure came from one of the think tanks on line. I believe that the number was in the area of 3+trillion dollars based on all of the changes that Algore said that were needed. I do recall that it was not a one-time expenditure but over a period of time. It was still mind-boggling because our national debt hadn't quite reached the first trillion as I recall.

My point is that even if global warming were true 1) there is little that we can do about it, 2) the cost would be prohibitive and 3) we couldn't go it alone. I'm with Long Jim on this in that global warming is a hoax. It was designed to make certain people a lot of money. It seemed to work for their now billionaire spokesman. Is an "inconvenient truth" the same as a convenient lie?

I usually don't come to this forum because it only gets my blood pressure up and it's high enough already.

As the mother said to the little boy she was trying to potty train..."you aim too, please!".

My parents have that sign in their guest bathroom. Are you my dad?

Maybe and it might have had something to do with global warming. You think? Didn't you have a recent birthday, son? If so, I missed it again...what the heck kind of Dad am I?

As long as you promise to keep my glass filled at the Octoberfest event, you're the best ever, pops.

Even though recorded history indicates that there has been changes in the climate over time I truely believe this one is real and IS man made. I do believe the Sun is getting hotter. A lot hotter! But I don't believe that is has anything to do with factories, cars, farts and anything else. I think the truth is we are witnessing the wrath of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Anyone who thinks for one minute that we can continually shake our fist in God"s face and not expect repercussions is not very well informed as to the Truth. I personally think we are experiencing what the Bible calls birth pangs" Maybe we are in the early stages of the Tribulation? One thing I know for sure, its not going to get any better. Best to prepare. Sorry. Wish I could spin the Truth.

Lets all hope we can get this football season in. GO MEAN GREEN!!!
