Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.
My thoughts on global warming.
Published on April 15, 2008 By erathoniel In Current Events

I am a skeptic of Global Warming. I believe that most people are hypocrites on the matter, whatever they say.

I have no good evidence of global warming. I've always endured high temperature where I live, and they're not getting worse. Also, I feel that all the "massive trend" is not really true. There is, in my opinion, nothing in our atmosphere messing us up. What I believe is one of the problems is the amount of air conditioning, as much as anything else. Energy can be converted, but not destroyed. Heat will not conduct into space at a major rate. Basically, air conditioning is putting what would be 90+ degree temperatures in a large area into 72 degrees. It may not be much, but add in skyscrapers, and you've got a large volume of cooled environment. Not to mention more specific cooling devices such as refrigerators. You end up cooling a small area, and the heat goes outwards. Now, it's not much of a change, but I seriously believe that it's one of the only things affecting our environment. So, Al Gore, go sit in your air-conditioned gas-guzzling limo and keep on speaking.

Also, anyone else noticed how few of the exponents of global warming are actually scientists? Or how few of them practice what they preach?

Pollution messes us up, for sure. Just ask China about that Asian brown cloud.

I'm willing to pay attention to global warming...I won't dismiss it outright and I won't preach it as God's honest truth.  I know polar ice caps have been melting, article wildlife has been suffereing...so something is getting warmer somewhere along the line.  Whether it's a global warming phenomenon remains to be seen...but I've an open mind about it.

Precisely. Also, why not take care of the enviroment anyway?

Ah, crap, misspoke. What I meant to say was clarify that pollution is, in my opinion, not heating the Earth. It kills us, but the Earth is doing fine heat-wise regardless of it.

Psst! The cause is that great big ball of fire in the sky. And there aint enough water on earth to put it out!

As an acquaintance put it: We should just all piss on it.

*psst* It's not really fire, merely a huge fusion reaction.

Plasma, ain't it?

Plasma exists there...superheated matter beyond the gaseous state.

However, the sun is a fusion reactor powered by hydrogen and super high temperatures. Hydrogen atoms bump into each other making deuterium(heavy hydrogen, i.e. hydrogen with a proton and a neutron in the nucleus). That deuterium will bump into another hydrogen making helium-3. Two helium-3 will react and produce helium-4 and two hydrogens. WWW Link

All that bumping and merging releases heat and light...and boom, ya have sunlight.

That struck me very funny. Need more sleep and free time.

If everyone keeps "psst" on it, it will go out!

Did you just prove the big bang theory?

so if Cars are increasing global warming would beer then be contributing to global cooling? After all it doesn't take too many beers before you have to psst!

Three cheers for beer!

Well, a theory can't be proven...just supported with evidence.


Either way I didn't come close...I didn't delve into singularities. Just an ol' fashion nuclear fushion reaction.

Seriously, though, the Big Bang is the worst work of mythology I've ever heard. It isn't even entertaining. And it's nowhere near believable.
