Your right but there still are as many glazier’s as they were before we were born, so what’s your point! Mother Nature runs the weather not our govt.

Ditto. Thank you Ohio. In fact there are now new and bigger glaciers than before we were all born. The Tulutson Glacier is an example. Here's an amazing, newly released video documenting how glaciers are growing again ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4fn5x_We5U For more on why this happening ... attend the Philosophy Club at 4 PM, Dec 16, at Lake Miona Rec Center.

Here's an entire page of light reading you can do...

The Giant Sequoias NEED forest fires in order to reproduce. They NEED the intense heat, which causes their cones to release seeds...

The fires also add nutrients back into the soil...

forest fires release seeds - Google Search

Nothing wrong with natural, normal levels of lightning strikes and forest fires - I agree. The problem like CO2 is the EXCESS CO2 and the Excess dryness in the West DUE TO Global Warming. Mother nature was doing fine at maintaining balance before the Industrial Revolution but because of IC fossil fuel engines emitting CO2 and increased population (from 1 T to 8 Trillion) driving them - the main Mother could NO LONGER maintain the balance. Thus, Global warming took over! Now we have EXTREMES of everything Heat, fires, species extinction, and even EXCESS acid in our oceans killing reef coral - the main feeding and breeding ground for saltwater FISH.

Cold is our enemy, and warm is our friend. I love global warming and I love CO2 ... and the more the better.

Never heard of them, and the sky is not falling. But planet earth is getting warmer faster than it would, thanks to those pesky overbreeding industrial creatures called humans.

One hundred and forty three posts (so far) in just two days on yet another global warming thread. Seems to be one a week on average. And we have the same people saying the same things, over and over and over and...

Nobody's mind is changed. Nobody thinks any differently. Heels are dug in. Flags are waved. Feelings are hurt. Nothing is accomplished.

Politics and science, like oil and water, do NOT mix.

If you think that shaking Jane Fonda's hand is a feather in your cap, then we have nothing left to discuss. And I'm much to young to be a Vietnam vet.

Sorry, but that has not been proven.
Kinda like saying, if we have more trees it will cause more shade and make the world cooler. Or since we have so many airline flights every day, there is more wind.

So you're saying the coral reefs are in danger?

Wow, I've never heard that. Thanks for the tip...

Then why has the earth been cooling for the last 7 years?

Have no respect for anyone who would shake the hand of hanoi jane. She should have been tried and executed for treason, giving aid and comfort to our enemy.
