But do the gas emissions and other bullshit that man is pumping out in the billions help or hinder the problem?
The correct answer is ...
Hinders it. It IS making it worse. There's no way around that one.
We either fix what we are doing, or put irrepairable harm to our environment. The intensity of that warming has been proven to be higher than ever before. Again... the scientist thing. They tend to know their stuff.
If you don't want to be a part of that, drive a hummer and suck up more gas. But it's clear, the size of the population and the waste that is being dispelled by that population is more than this planet can safely handle without major changes. So we either do something about it, or wait until Florida is underwater. I'm using my bicycle more, and my car less for around the town stuff. I have to take responsibility for ME and what I put out on the planet. Imagine if we all did.
Worse..imagine if we don't.
So do only the scientists who agree with man made global warming "know their stuff"? Because if scientists "know their stuff" and that applies to all scientists, what you have is a disagreement between two sets of people who know their stuff. I am not saying people should not be environmentally concious at all, but the ones doiing the preaching on this topic are some of the biggest hypocrites I have EVER seen! Al Gore doesn't do a damn thing in his personal life to help the cause he is so "passionate" about. He writes a check for carbon credits to excuse his behavior. If this is so real to him, he'd be living the lifestyle, not just telling everyone else what to do.
Again, 30 years ago, scientists (who "know their stuff") were saying the earth was going to freeze from global cooling. This global warming movement is going to go way beyond encouraging people to be more green. It is going to force people into compliance with all kinds of new taxes, fees and other money making scams to fill the pockets of the global warming evangelists.
The threat of Islamic terror is very real and I see that as the biggest danger to civilization as we know it, but there are a lot of people who don't see it that way. I guess everyone who is on the wrong side of either argument will eventually be proven wrong, right?
Humans can destroy things but not the planet... If we had the power, we would have done so MANY thousands of years ago!! Remember God and Mother Nature, together they created the great floods, the plagues and all the other destruction of the planet... not humans,even with all the wars and the nuculear bombs of the 1945 in Japan did not destroy the earth!! The only reasons science is coming up with the **truth** about global warming is politics---liberal politics----
BTW, the world will change on the winter solstice 21DEC2012----according to some cultures, from a history program I saw last Weds. So all this global warning stuff, is nonsense!!
On the original topic, some of the music was great some really sucked.

Ok, so let's throw all the garbage in the oceans. Let's remove all the laws about illegal dumping. Oh, and lets burn down all the forestry. And for good measure, lets remove all emission testing and laws applicable to motor vehicles....I mean, if we can't affect the earth, and all.....
