Whoa, thats kinda' wierd.

Why have you not posted new snowman pics?

Surely the recent snowfall was sufficient enough reason to build some more snowmen and memories with the youngsters?

WADE FULP THAT'S CRAZY MAN

I just don't believe in Global Warming altogether. :\

I heard that through out history every few hundreds of years there has been patches of oddly high cold or heat, to be honest I don't know anything about global warming.

idk ppl are are gettin more fat and ugly if you ask me...

I say we blame the butterfly and be done with that

Blame George Bush! He did it!

I will settle what causes global warming.
As LED flashlights get more and more advanced, people who randomly wave them in the sky are causing angels in the heavens to combust, lighting our skies and weakening the hole in the O-zone layer, which is actually comprised of angels and pixie farts. The pixie farts alone cannot manage to pick up the slack from the burning angels.
So until LED flashlights are banned, we're boned.

Yeah, it's the sun. Let's stop trying to lower our carbon emissions now.

glad that this theory is widly supported, maybe this will get people to shut up about it for a while

WOW THAT IS REALLY ODD...
WHO TO BLAME...?

I KNOW...
EVERY SCIENTIST AND PARLEMENT DUDE IN THE WORLD

Maybe partly, but ofcourse we're not only victims, let's not be ignorant. All the other greenhouse theories that have been piling up would be total bullshit ifthis was the sole truth, and they don't seem like bullshit.

Im not sure if this was ever broadcast in america, but if it was, have you seen that documentry showing that we aren't the cause of global warming?

Basically, it said that it was happening, and that CO2 was to blame, but tried to show how it wasn't our fault. apparently, volcanos, the sea, and something which I cant remember were releasing more CO2 than we ever could. it also stated that the sun was releasing less (or maybe it was more) solar wind, which was either not blowing radiation from space away, or was heting us itself (i said, i cant remember)

intersting... maybe its true

holy crap well yes of corse if the sun gets warmer the so do we but serrioulsy the efects are ampliffied by the greenhouse efect that has been proved. the layer of gases that keeps ourplanet warm (yay) is getting thiker and how is that happening well no one nows but im preaty sure we have somthing to do with it but hey thats only my opinion i could be wrng

The USA has (one of, if not) the greatest CO2 emission on the world, so it tries to refuse to accept it's responsibility, and makes up any story to make people belive that something else is responsible, so they can continue ruin the environment with a good conscience.

I bet evolution is a lie as well!

Send a rocket to the Sun to blow it up. Problem solved. THE END.

You said the world will be here long after we are gone. The human race is so intelient, we will probably survive until close to the planets destruction (or until we evolve again, but think we are close to our peak right now). It would take an asteroid or the sun blowing up (or a black hole) to eliminate us.

Wow, they are finally learning to accept that it isn't our fault!

Now we can end this "global warming" nonsence! It's a political problem, not an enviornmental problem.

I still blame people for their actions. Although the sun is increasing in size, we are to blame of the ozone layer, which give us UV radiation cancer. Fucking Lysol cans. >:(

This still does not mean that humanity has to leave trash lying every where, poorly store nuclear waste, and waste precious resources.

Fix my screen dammit. I blame you for the sun increasing and the ozone layer... and my screen being green. Hahaha!

I blame LCD flashlights

I'm skeptical about that article, while yes the condition of our sun will obviously affect our climate, climate simulations have given fairly concrete evidence that the amount of CO2 we emit into the atmosphere will cause considerable increases in global temperature. It's quite simple really, we know the amount of CO2 our industries emit (based off fuel consumption), we know the chemical properties of Carbon Dioxide, and we know the size of our planet and atmosphere. So I think it's fair to say that a simulation based of these facts would be pretty accurate. Even if the sun has some effect, it doesn't mean that CO2 emissions have nothing to do with it. Also consider the fact that there are oils companies that value in the trillions who would really benefit form the argument presented here, hard to say that about the green house effect.

Wade, you know a lot about HID bulbs. I've got a desk lamp that has one in it and I haven't changed the bulb in over 5 years. So why are the global warming nuts trying to force me to buy compact florescent bulbs? Why not HID bulbs?

At first the anti-enviromentalists were all like "No, there's not global warming. Not at all. You're making it up."

But now it's more like "Yeah, there is a global warming, but we humans didn't cause it. Don't blame us"

Make up your fucking mind.

We can't just continue to pump out shit into the atmoshpere and expect everything to be alright.

And I thought Humans + Earth = Global Warming which lead me to believe this theory Humans - Earth = No Global Warming. Oh well

please i cant submit my audio work to the audio portal please fix it i just submit my work nothing else

PLEEEEEASEEEEE!!!!!!!

That's nothing but cleaning the hands of those who keep producing benefits the most efficiently possible, even though they're harming the natural cycles of the Earth.

It's very easy to search for another way to elude the responsabilities. No matter how many times he says that it is okay to look for other sources, the point is basicly "come on guys let's continue wiping our asses with the Kioto's Protocol". It's really cool when it is the other people who get massive radiations from UV rays (like Chili, Antartica, oh, that's on the south hemisphere who the fuck cares), tornadoes, hurricanes (the US didn't even get away on those ones), etc.

Of course that the Earth has cycles of warming and cooling in a small scale, but getting disasters on the way isn't in a good plan. Meh, only poor people who didn't have insurances had any really serious repercussion on Katrina, I'm okay with that, right?

As you say a few comments above: "ruin our economies and put more people into poverty because we think we're screwing up the Earth..." Wow,dedicating more money to the investigation budges won't do any harm, medicine in the USA is that advanced because of that. I don't think that you'll fall into poverty because you have to use a train, tram, or whatever (which are safer and quicker) instead of hanging around with your car to travel to another city (or getting the newspaper!), or that you'll become miserable because industries put some solar pannels in the middle of Arizona in order to get some solar power. Oops, I forgot, about 1/15 of the huge industries will be spent on investigation, oh my.

It's only the US who pollutes, of course, but it's definately the leader. It's funny when they bought the poor countries' pollution limit just to be able to make some more money.

Global warming doesn't only affect heat, but also all the other climate and weather effects, it's a misinterpretation of the term. He continously states places where IT WAS COLDER THAN EVER (is that a good thing???), where it snows where it hasn't before (wow that's fucking cool, only a few animals and plants die hell yeah)...and I ask if that isn't a change (for the bad) too.

meh i made a couple of mistakes up there, "it's NOT only the USA who.."

"1/15 of the huge industries WORTH will be..."

and if there are more you get the point

Makes sense, but we're not making it any better...

Makes sense.

Im an idiot..
i read the whole of
"Why The Sun Is The Cause Of Climate Change"
Ahhhh =[

Ah, but the USA has the highest CO2 emissions per person in the world (not saying it isthe cause of global warming). China is rising fast, but it has a much higher population, so the CO2 levels per person are low.

Well, according to some other articles, we are to blame. But whatever, whether or not the planet is warming and whether or not we were the ones screwing it up, a cleaner earth is all good.

Have you read "State Of Fear" by Michael Crichton? Great read, really opened my eyes to what the spinsters feed us.

And though even if we stop global warming its damage can never be undone and the damage that has already damaged the earth will still keep on damaging it, we lose even if the human race dose shape up...<Wrist/>

yes, but is this true or..

Interesting to see another side of the argument, but you cannot deny there is more than one factor here. This is kindof like dumping gasoline in a forest and then saying it was dry anyways when it burns down. It's an excuse, but you're still an idiot. The fact is, we've sped global warming years ahead, even if we are just making the inevitable happen sooner. Besides, this is accepted fact and fits right in with all the theories. It's been thought of, and now it's just being used as an excuse. quite simply:

sun + thick atmosphere = hot earth,
hotter sun + thick atmosphere = hotter earth.

Don' be to quick to shift the blame from us or we'll never deal with it.

well, thats called:"evolution"

We just pollute to much. It's not that hard to get.

in the future, wade. The sun will turn into a "big-red" and everyone will be laughing/screaming this whole global warming thing off.

HAHAHAHA! Take that Al Gore!! There IS a real reason behind it all! I knew there had to be a logical reason behind, if it is even true which i don't believe it is, global warming.

Another interesting thing to think about is how global warming to a similar degree to what we're now experiencing has happened several times in the last 1200 years.

Long before humans had the ability to produce greenhouse gases that are supposedly NOW the culprit, the earth experienced dramatic increases in temperature, and subsequent dramatic decreases. Kind of funny how despite these facts, people with political agendas continue to blame human behavior solely for global warming, and declare that we can prevent global warming by changing our behavior.

Take a look at page 16:

I was just wondering if you could change my username because I wasn't here on the day where everybody had the chance to change their username and what a shame I came the week after ya'll did that and since everyone's telling me that you do the username changing I just wanted to know if you could do that favor for me. If you can that would be great and if you can't then that's okay(well not really). Oh and I want my username to be NeonLeo if you needed the info. Thanx!

I blame nothing for climate change. Back in the 70s people were worried about global COOLING, and global warming is just...something I don't buy into. For some reason, I find the whole idea of it pretty silly, I don't think it makes much sense to make a big deal about climate change, since the climate is NEVER stable.

And I believe there has been a rise of .6 degrees over the last 100 years, I could be wrong though.

That proves the world needs more ice.

Hmmm yes but all our contribution with cars and planes cause the greenhouse effect - aha! gotcha there wade! My techer teches me this :>

OOOo and deforestation, wtf are we doing that for - so what - furniture or life?

Thats been my theory for so long, the government just wants out money & control.

Our money & control*

Well I studied this a bit in geography, honestly I did not read all that. But I am thinking it was about the suns temperature fluctuating being warmer at the current century, and colder in previous.
Evidence to prove this is the charts going back over the last few ice ages, the temperture rises and falls in a cycle and in the past the global warming we are seeing now has also previously been hit in the past as far back as they can tell.
However due to the global warming being a natural cycle, it still does not help what we are doing, as it may reach these temperatures anyway, but we are still adding fuel to the fire. And so, we cannot blame it entirely on the sun, we still do need to take action as otherwise we might exceed the cycle and make it infact much worse.
What do you think?

Wow, now I can sleep again...oh wait...what about 2012.

I do not believe in Al Gore's theory since I watched An Inconvenient Truth.

Wow... interesting views on this topic from everyone... and you seem to have an acceptable viewpoint on it. Yeah, sun gets hotter, we get warmer and toasty due to an excess amount of UV rays, and then it backs off. But then again, we contribute slightly to it. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs for short) bond with ozone to make other molecules. But we're fixing that, and should continue doing so. Earth was here long before us, and we have been abusing it like you wouldn't believe, and releasing harmful toxins into the atmosphere in which may have contributed to the greenhouse gases. But... I think that we are not the sole problem of "global warming." We may be just a small fraction in it. But we have to improve our actions. This will probably reduce global warming so that we don't slammed with as severe temperature increase.
And as for "natural disasters," thing, the whole entire reason for a hurricane or other severe weather condition is right in the title. "Natural" disaster. You are right Wade, we have nothing to do with these disasters. They will occur as life goes on due to wind currents, temperature, moon's position in relation to the Earth, and a whole other things that are scientific. They will happen, on larger or smaller scales than what we hae experienced.

And if we use more LEDs, the world would be better too.

the sun doesn't heat up that quickly, it is mostly mankinds fault.

AndrewGlisson11, maybe you should open your eyes. It is ignorant think that we are the sole problem of global warming. Try reading the article Mr. Wade has posted.

Man made global warming is a hoax.. Like we, mere mortals have any control over the climate. It's called cycles.. lol

I'm still going to use less energy, there's no shame that.

http://www.usatoday.com/weather/clima te/globalwarming/2007-02-01-ipcc-repo rt_x.htm

Still, humankind will always attempt to make excuses for itself.

THAT'S CRAZY!!!!

I wonder why the UN never invented a weather control device

the world actually might end in 2012 so we might not have to worry about global warming

http://www.msghelp.net/showthread.php ?tid=74463

FINALLY, somone that supports what i've been saying for years! I mean, i'm not saying we're definitely not the cause of global warming, which we may just be, i'm saying that it seems SO much more likely that a planet that has been around for so long would be in a natural cycle, other than assuming that we, who have existed on earth and have been emitting carbon for an entirely insignificant fraction, like one 5487846548745484564156487685547654785 7985435468765457878744687469878745468 4867987987435468487458767487876878th, (duh, i don't know the exact statistic) of that could have caused what appears to be significantly changing our Earth. It just doesn't seem to make much sense, when we blame ourselves for something we ASSUME to be true... until we find definitive proof that WE'RE causing this (which i seriously doubt will happen) i just think it's extremely idiotic to punish ourselves for something we don't know SHIT about.

NOONE seems to be providing evidence that we are the cause of it, they just say that the planets been warming and we've been emitting carbon, ergo, our carbon emissions are causing global warming... well, this may sound dismissive, but what if its a COINCIDENCE?! i mean for christ sake, how can we call it fact if its just possibility?

Anyway, i'm rambling, so i'll just say from here that i totally agree with you, Wade.

Of course, idiots here will jump on your bottom, because you are who you are on this site.

then how does the sun get hotter?

Never believed in GW anyways, how did people think the ice age ended, by cavemen farting carbon deoxide and methane?!?!

P.S. Did you know that Alaska used to be tropical? Saw it on either "The Science Channel" or "The Discovery Channel".

And besides, how did GW do with anything with Hurricane Katrina?

I remember when I was on a trip to Cuernevaca, Mexico with my family years and years ago a hailstorm that was totally out of place for the dry season they were in. The reason cited for its occurance was a sunspot or some other solar event (I don't remember specifically... I was in elementary school at the time).

The sun can certainly do some fucked up shit to our weather. But global temperature here should ultimately remain pretty stable provided our world stays hot at the core, is heated by the sun, and has such a HUGE amount of water on its surface.

Personally, I don't agree with most people who entirely dismiss the theory of man's effect on global warming, because I feel like it's mostly an excuse to ignore a lot of environmental concerns. It all ultimately will boil down to over-population. Humans are far too successful to continue to thrive in this way unless we diversify our environments to include extra-terrestrial locations. All our eggs are in this one basket, and if we're to outlive our world we need to escape its confines.

Not that any of that matters to me personally, I guess. It's just important because I've got this instinct in me that wants my particular branch of the family tree to outlive everyone else's. Yay survivalism.

but the sun is suppose to cool down, because of its small mass, one day it will just die out. And implode i think.

Personally, I don't care if some guy says that it is because of the Sun, I mean seriosly, just look at the page. The page also have multiple lies in which I checked, that were used to support the argument. Wade, i'd expect you to not belive in something just because some internet dumbass thinks so, but it's not like I expected much from newgrounds either.

I have a question "if i user posts a good response to a topic entitled "favorite color____" should he be banned? I was banned for post in a topic called favorite color dildo

"whats your favorite color dildo"

I responded. I don't use dildos so i have no favorite color. here comes the gay flames

Would this be a spam topic even though he is asking a debatable question?

Well a bit. But it does make us feel better to deny it entirely. And youre right in saying that we shouldnt let it entirely affect and ruin our economy especially in the third world which takes the brunt of the force. Like all the politicians have decided to provide them with solar panels which is a lot more expensive than they can really afford and dont even use them themselves!
Hypocrates.

So explain summer, Wade.

Wait your saying that a large ball of superheated plasma going through a constant phase of nuclear fusion has an effect on the temperture of the earth. whats happoned to your mind. lol

seriously though I did hear about this about a year ago but most documentries still point to man made climate change. this theory has not gotten around as much as the ones blaming cars for global warming.

I don't believe in Global Warming at all. So, we humans make the weather warmer by doing our shit, but all those chemicals and crap that make the weather warm just float out into space and don't change anything.

Plus, I'd hate to see the people in the future blaming us for the hot weather and for being so uncharitable towards them...

I think theres more than just one reason I think that it's caused by all of the ideas
that people think of sun getting hotter,cars,ocean shooting out methane,ect.

Truth was here

Every year the sun loses 360 million tons.

well, i no longer feel bad about ruining the enviroment.

Explain why you deleted me, please.

Its obvious that its our fault,I mean,why else would the Earth be heating up?

Oh,and is there any way I could talk to you about a username change?

You have too many friends on Xbox live.

That was off topic >>

wow its all very interesting

Wow, for a guy who looks at dicks all day, you actually understand the truth.

The Sun is ABSOLUTELY the cause of "global warming". If you look at the moons and rings of Saturn, and Jupiter, they ARE MELTING. Do you think it's our SUVs causing that??? hahahahah

DO NOT buy into the scam. It's a scam just like terrorism.

well, it's true that the end of the physical earth is supposed to occur because the sun, like all stars, gets hotter and larger as it ages, in fact right before it dies (supernova) it will be at its largest and hottest. However this can't really account for the sudden increase of temperature we're experiencing globally here since time for change in the sun is on a much more epic scale. Right now we are experiencing the hockey stick effect with temperature and greenhouse gase emissions (google hockey stick effect climate) and while fluctuations do occur naturally, people don't seem to want to respect some of the most fundamental examples of how the heat of the sun is secondary to our atomsphere. Look at mercury and venus. Who's closer to the sun? mercury. But venus is hotter because it has an atomsphere, something that mercury lacks. The reasoning is that heat radiation becomes trapped in the atomsphere longer. It accumulates. Earth's atomsphere is nowhere near as congested as venus' but the more shit that flies up into the atomsphere, the more heat from the sun is going to be trapped in. Today we combust crude oil which releases greenhouse gas (we've practically depleted a natural resource) and we cut down the trees which used to breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen.

its called ac its not that difficult by the way al gore mad cause he is not president in which case he'd be telling us oil companies are r freinds. what bull

I caused global warming.

"You sure it is? What about the 17,000 scientists that signed a petition claiming what you are stating isn't true, at least that global warming is caused by humans."
Scientists can be bought out. How many "experts" testify for a bullshit cause? It is easy to find some pennyless scientists and cough up some money for them to say whatever you want.

Scientists don't have to be knowledgable to sign something. How much do you want to bet half of those scientists who signed are into something completely different like psychology, or who have some ties to the oil industry?

Yeah, lets all believe that. We feel better, we dont need to do anything and we all melt happy (or something).

GGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! Were all gonna die!!! X_X

I never believed in Global Warming. People should still try and cut down on C02 levels, as it might have an impact on the future.

Ive always felt strongly about this topic.

I often laugh at groups such as 'freinds of the earth' etc think they understand sceince? when in reality all they wanna do is be anti establismental and dance and beat drums.

Wade sir, i salute you

There have been many ice ages throughout the history of the earth. Many before man even existed. My question is; "who caused the last rounds of global warming, resulting in the end of each of these ice ages?" Did the dinosaurs release too much CO2 with their cars and factories? I know it wasn't the Flinstones; they used clean, efficient, foot power, or dinosaurs for automation and locomotion. The earth's temperature definitely seems to be linked to CO2 levels, but CO2 levels seem to be on a 100 thousand year cycle. Guess what, we're in the hot spike now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vo stok-ice-core-petit.png

Damn it... Graph is on the right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_ages

We can still stop from making it hotter faster.

When people say ''We can stop it getting hotter faster though!'' It really pisses me off, sorry.
Because my theory is, if we are to look at global warming as a car going 200 mph/kmph towards a man, and our efforts slow it down by 10-15 mph we are not making much of a difference. I think our efforts are ok, not making much difference. Wasting time doing something that won't help much, if at all.
