Read Mike Crichton's State of Fear.
All I have to say.
Really, if you're buying into what he says in that book then you clearly haven't done your homework. While Crichton's right when he says that the effects of global warming have been exaggerated, that doesn't mean to the degree where it's irrelevant and absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
But the same goes for you if you've made An Inconvenient Truth your new Bible. Both of them more or less do the same thing, hand pick the evidence and twist it to support their argument. Neither of them are inclusive or objective enough in their arguments and evidence to warrant being treated as the be-all and end-all when it comes to this debate.
Just throwing that out there in case things get out of hand 😉
I honestly have to say that it worries me a little. While, I personally won't be greatly affected, the future generations will; and afterall isn't it our responsibility to leave this planet in as good or better shape than when we inherited it? I worry about the future human beings whose lives will be affected negatively, and what my children or children's children will have to deal with.
I also believe that we (humans) are increasing the rate of the Greenhosue effect. How much? Don't know. Can't say. But, I think we're speeding it up.
Cheers.

Why would you think that? That literally means more danger, if floods are bad enough they can come upto level of your home, things can get destroyed/damaged, and like here, it rains alot unfortunately.
Having disasters that did not happen before, is frighteneing!
Move to Holland, this country has seen it all 🙂
Then again if the world does flood Holland would be one of the first things to disappear...
the world is warming up...but spouting shit like "the hottest decade since records began" is totally irrelevant...because records began about 60 years ago...
its widely accepted that there is a 400 year cycle of higher and lower temperatures....we're simply moving towards the higher end of one of these cycles...its only cause civilisation is more rigid and there is much more infrastructure that can be affected by small changes that we are getting ourselves in a muddle about it
It's obvious that our weather is getting worse and worse by the year, am I right? This, in my opinion, is a bad sign of our global warming. I was just watching a video from Google and it showed a storm that passed through NY on December 1st. I know it was pretty much a sign of a cold front mixing with a warm front, but December is expected by many to be snow, not severe storms possible of producing tornadoes. I don't know...I may be all wrong but that's just what I think.

actually its a seven thousand years cycle, it goes, hot, seven thousand years, cold, seven thousand years, hot. etc.
