43% of Americans are Dumb
Ok that subject line sure got your attention, huh? Well, I just read a study that said only 57% of Americans think global warming is really happening: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091022/ap_ … imate_poll
That's down 20 points from 3 years ago!!!
The first ever ship passed through the Arctic this year BECAUSE ALL THE ICE IS GONE: http://www.livescience.com/environment/ … ssing.html
It's unreal that people don't think that pollution and our destruction of the environment isn't doing anything to the planet.
Scientist say that there will be no ice in the Arctic during the summer months in less than 30 years. How unreal is that.
But the Earth isn't warming...no no. Global warming isn't real...no no.
When the 43% of you who live in NYC, Florida and California have houses underwater in the next 30 years, we'll see if you change your mind.

Look, when your from New England, every time someone says global warming we think about the SNOW that already fell last sunday.
Your from a place that doesn't even get snow. Have you seen it before?

~thranax~And if you are in VA, you start thinking about the string of unusually cold winters...

~thranax~And then on the flipside, here in Phoenix, we were at 100 degrees last weekend and we're almost in November.
We had 31 days of over 110+ degrees this summer compared to 18 last summer.
Just depends where you are from but when hundreds of miles of ice is melting, you know it's something bigger than just a few hot days.

According to current models, they project that this melted ice will shift some major ocean currents causing mu ch harsher winters in these regions.

Not to be a jerk but why do you think hundreds of miles of ice is melting then? Like what is causing it?

~thranax~Here in Canada we have been getting a lot of snow for the past couple of years, but none of the usual cold, cold days we used to get. Our weather patterns have definitely changed...

I think you mean 43% are dumb-struck by the 57% that global warming is happening. I'll still be skiing in the northeast 30 years from now.

And ignoring the evidence is even worse.

For some, their answer depends on the weather that day, rather than extensive statistically-rigorous scientific study...probably because they don't really understand what "statistics" and "science" really mean.

Your local weather patterns having nothing to do with global warning in the short run. Read a little about it.
Ocean currents determine your local weather patterns so some places will get even colder weather while others will get hotter as the ice melts.
Geez. Way to sound ignorant.- 91

Sorry there is no conclusive evidence to date. in fact, the temperatures change in 20th century is highly correlated to the sheer size of humanity. A couple of nuclear wars will solve your problem

Like the statistics and science that predicted global cooling? Normal people are not falling for this hoax again, and you won't get our money through cap and tax!
