Ok, as usual im going against the grain of the normal belife here. Now, i watched Al Gore's "An Inconvienent Truth" (twice mind you) which i fel was well done, and i also watched a British documentary called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was exelent. If you havent seen them i highly recomend watching them.
Now i have a question, what caused the big ice age, and what made all that ice melt?

The earth always changes temperature, and right now its just getting a bit warmer.
there were other ice ages, they just come and go as the climate does

Of course there is such thing as global warming. Ice melting in Tibet, Arctic and Antartica .. it's good proof. And since we are living in an age of rapid industrialization, it gets warmer. The warmth only goes away after we take efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

more research needed! We're making core fusion, when it get ready, ALL of our worries are gone! even Osama.

I think it's a load a crap.

And that is sadly pessimistic.

It IS a load of crap, though. >.>;
The climate always changes, sometimes it gets hotter, sometimes it gets colder. It was getting a little hotter, but if you ask me, it's colder this year than the last.
But there is no real proof that the enviroment is getting any hotter due to anything humans have done. It's not cause of any industial activity, it's just a natural occurance (assuming it gets any hotter, which I'm not saying it is).

I wont draw any conclusions. Maybe I'll believe in this once the temperature goes up 10 degrees or so (18 degrees if you use Fahrenheit XP), but Until then, I just wont give a crap

I'm in between on this one.
It's very much so a possibility, after all, A LOT of gasses/carbon are used these days. But it's also possible that it's just nature warming up. However..I believe the theory to be true, at least somewhat. How else would you explain the rapid melting of the ice caps? That just can't happen suddenly for no reason, eventhough nature is unpredicatable.

yeah the temp changes (ice age/hot house). still wouldnt you at least want to be cautious? would you want to not worry about smog coming down? dont you want to use wind and solar energy? the only to say itsnot real and not care is if youve got stocks in the oil industry. milk money and rape the land.

Ya know, if we built more nuclear plants, the world would be alot more efficient. Nuclear plants would work better than electricity, or solar energy, or any of that other crap, and would be safer for the enviroment.
And don't give me that "omg nuclear waste is radioactive and will kill us all" crap, cause I've done my research, and nuclear waste isn't that dangerous, and they ways of disposing of it that doesn't harm anyone or anything. >.>;

True, but core fusion is better. The core fusion has to be used in each 100 years, it is giving terrible much energy. and also no damage form evoirment.

but it can't be used yet, its not efficient enough right now and more research is being done into it.

yeah, but both Europe and America are working on it, so don't worry.

What is your opinion about those ordinary and small documentary shows which display to you images of ice rapidly melting and the narrator narrating the information to you? Is that not research, as you ZV folks define it?
