I am curious about you. What do you think about Global Warming? Here's your chance to casually voice your opinion without fear of judgment or criticism, for I promise to abstain from both (really, I do).
Answer as many or as few of the following questions as you want to, and feel free to add your own:

8. Do you have any other notes?
Has the globe been heating up?
ReplyDeleteI don't know; I generally doubt it.
What are the causes of this?
If it is heating up, probably because of cyclical changes in climate patterns.
Will the globe continue to do so?
I assume it isn't.
What will be the effects of this?
My assumption is that it goes in cycles, and if things are heating up, they will cool back down.
Is there a scientific consensus on this?
Apparently not, from your last two posts. Stats can always be presented in a skewed manner.
How should we proceed?
Regardless of the truth or falsity of the claims made by global warming alarmists, I think it is quite important for us to be more aware and conscious of how we treat our environment. We were made to control the planet (Gen. 1:27-30), so we had better do a good job. If the hype about global warming causes people to live more environmentally prudent lives, then I'm glad for it. Even if I don't subscribe the theories put forth, I perk up my ears and listen to ways to conserve energy, recycle, and 'be water wise', etc.
Should we ratify Kyoto?
I don't know what this means.
i heard that plant life that typically prefers a certain temperature habitat has been migrating northward to find cooler areas. that seemed to indicate pretty uncontestably that there is some climate change at least the multi-decade range. this is from my environmental biology class.
ReplyDeletei tend to be a bit cynical of the dramatic predictions about global warming.
If you're interested you can find some info on Kyoto here: (Wikipedia of course)
