Apparently this is a pretty popular video on YouTube (which I read about here):

Do you choose Column A or Column B?

There is only one option to choose and that's is column A. Because we (as people) already spending money 'to save the planet'. For example the Kyoto-protocol.

Well said, Stuart. The cause is irrelevant, IF it is indeed happening and THAT is questionable as to whether we are seeing a dramatic climate change OR a cycle. Every planet in the solar system is undergoing the exact same phenomenon at the present time. However, instead of trying to figure out how to stop it, which is pretty arrogant on the part of mankind...mother nature is a whole lot bigger and more powerful than we are; we should be trying to figure out HOW to survive it. Don't forget it was only 30 years ago that we were being about the dangers of global cooling, and WE were causing that as well.

Hi Guys,

Yes "A" is the only correct answer.

I don't want to get into politics, Martin. But DON't count on it for a whole host of reasons which I don't wish to get into. But to put it bluntly the Democrat Party in the US is a racist party that has based its entire existence for the last 70 years on lying to the American public, with great success. I have activel watched it and worked against it for the last 40+ years, and the current crop of candidates from that party are simply far too dangerous to be allowed anywhere near the WH. to give details woul result in a doictoral theisi which would be far too long and boring for a "fun" forum.

With regard to the whole global warming crisis, who says what the "correct" temperature of the earth should be? There is more diversity of life in a warm climate than a cold one, just look at Antarctica versus the rain forests of South America. Scientists have temperature data for at most 250 years, with very accurate data of less than half that time and talk in tenths of a degree in change. Somehow, they can decide what the average temperature was before the thermometer was even invented. In the April 28, 1975 issue of Newsweek, a full page article titled "The Cooling World" predicted doom and gloom within a few short years if something wasn't done to prevent global cooling. This was based on half-degree changes also. (I will gladly email the pdf of this to anyone interested, just pm)

Has everyone forgotten how the last two hurricane seasons (2006 & 2007) were predicted by these global warming alarmists to be far worse than the 2005 season because of global warming, yet because they were not, they now are naming tropical depressions that used to not even get mentioned.

I can't buy in to all of the doom and gloom scare tactics used by proponents of this theory. Column B says if we do nothing and warming is real that the world will end. The presenter in the video says this could happen in the next 10 to 20 years. Where does that come from and why? Guess what. There is big money in researching the problem. Create enough panic and governments around the world will spend billions to figure out the problem and find a solution. NASA promotes global warming because they are the ones who get to launch weather satellites. There is also big money in selling "solutions" to this problem. Who is benefiting from the banning of incandescent light bulbs? The manufacturers of compact fluorescent. In 40 years, as landfills get full of these mercury containing items, we'll have a new crisis to solve.

He says we must chose column A and if global warming is not real, all we have done is to spend a little money. NO, that's not at all the only thing that's going to happen if everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Yes, we are going to spend money, but the main focus to to force major changes in our way of life, controlled by a bureaucracy of government bone heads or worse yet, a bureaucracy of U.N. bone heads.

Is it possible that the "world" temperature (how ever that is determined) is warming? Yes, it is possible, but to assume that we are causing it requires a huge leap of faith. The main source of global warming is the Sun, and we're not going to be able to do anything about that ever.

Is this an "inconvenient" place to plug the following docu?   Again only "one man's opinion," basically, but an interesting one...
