Global Warming...does it exist, and whats causing it? I've tried to answer as I see it, but please point out where Im wrong, cos I wanna know...
1. Does it exist? Well Greenland seems to be melting away quite fast, so it might be. But isn't the worlds climate subject to grand fluctuations anyway? Look at the ice age...and there was apparently a mini ice age in the 14th centuary, and Im sure if I could be bothered to read anything on the subject there would be documented tropical times in Northern Europe. So, if Greenland melts, the oceans will rise a few metres...I gotta say, 'Big Deal'. So, we lose a few coastal towns (Hull included, so Im all for it) Those towns were probably hideous eyesores anyway that attracted binge drinkers and ropey hideous tarts - wheres the loss? I'll be one person up in the queue for a drink at the bar. I don't think these people are an integral part of society :-) And on the plus side, Greenland will be a lush new playground, just means more land mass, which will mean no over population on the earth anymore. Bring it on!
2. What causes it? This is the bit that really really puzzles me. The scientists say its gases like Co2 that cause global warming. Humans cause this by burning fossil fuels, (i.e oil and its derivitives) They say that all this gas pumped into the atmosphere rises up and doesn't let the suns heat escape, thus warming the planet (thats how I understand it anyway, please correct me if Im wrong) Right this is the bit I don't get. Last time I was at a party and I blew a johnny up for a laugh, it sank to the floor. It was full of Co2, and it fell to the floor. I think (I read it online somewhere, along with this point Im making - can't credit the author cos I dont remember the article) that C02 is about 6 times heavier than air (Im probably wrong) so it sinks. So why is Co2 being blamed for rising and warming the earth? Even if all this super heated Co2 from burning fuels etc, did rise, it would cool on its way up, and sink....(oh and by the way, I read in this article that volcanoes spew out many many more time the amount of Co2 than us pesky humans do, so maybe its the Volcanoes that are causing it?)
So I just don't know what to believe...I don't think it exists

that must have been where i read it - cheers Lis
its a good job you wrote that down and didnt give a speech cos you just spouted so much hot air we would have just lost greenland!!!!!!
Thats an interesting point (about the clean air) I think its probably just another media/governement scare story...whats the hidden agenda though? Who pays the scientists?
like michelle, i also read an article in the newspaper today, it said jordan was going to auction her boobs on e bay!!!!
