Oh yeah, emitting trillion metric tons of CO2 every year is "normal". Stuffing billions and billions of non-biodegradable items like plastic bags in landfills is "normal". If that's not delusional, I dunno what is. Yeap, I guess we are the know nothing people and ya'll know it all ppl got all the answers.
In fact, it is normal, so you might want to check your delusional ignorance at the door.

Oooh... nice troll. McOwen has taught you well... :roll:
Even the most cursory study of the history of our planet would show you that that is also normal, but that is NOT what I am trying to say. I'm sorry you're too stupid, too arrogant, and too brainwashed by McOwen to understand what it is I actually said, but I will try to help you.
rchiu said, "We need to continue monitor the way this planet works and changes and PREVENT anything from happenning." The entire message of his post was that we don't know what it happening, we don't know if anything is happening at all, but we are scared of change therefore we must do everything we can to prevent change from happening simply because we fear it.
Wrong. My message was that by the time we have absolute certainty something is happenning, it is going to be too late.
I don't know if you ever take up scientific methods and statistical analysis training. If you did, you'd know what is statistically significant and what is not. Knowing the temperature shift is not statisically significant doesn't equal to not knowing what is happenning. All I am saying is by the time temperature shift is statistically significant, you'd have to have some pretty consistent one way change over a pretty long period of time, and that would be disasterous to us.
You should fear the fundamental change to the environment like that. You think human is so tough and unbeatable? Wrong again, the last Asian tsunami is just an insignificant event in a global scale, but it wiped out few hundred thousand human lifes. Imagin that multiplied by hundreds times.
Hey, but if you think I am just fearmongering, well go and believe what you well and continue to do your part in destorying this planet for the future generations.
