Days After Tomorrow

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

no good Bret. iirc in that series of novels it was always raining, so you'd go rusty like the Tin Man.

If global warming is really happening I think it would be great. Last winter it was a lot colder than normal. My pipes froze and I couldn't take a shower so I had to go over to my folks house and I don't want that to happen again because it took me an extra half hour to get to work. I also hate scraping my windshield. Then it snowed about a foot and it took the city two weeks to plow my street, and by that time I couldn't drive either of my cars because the ruts in the road were so deep that I constantly bottomed out. This summer I didn't have a chance to get out on the river and if summer lasted longer it would be more fun. Also global warming will make growing seasons longer and that would help fight world hunger.

Always remember the same wackos who are saying we're causing global warming used to all say we were causing global cooling. Maybe if human activity could cause the sun to get cooler or hotter I might believe human activity could make the planet hotter or cooler.



Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!!

I don't think that the global warming phenomenon is purely man made. I think it is happening to us regardless of what we do. What we do may accelerate the process but I don't know that it is something that we can control all that easily.

The cycles for it are in the historical record. The question has been whether the next change is going to be just another "minor" warming cycle as happened before the year 1100AD or whether what now is happening is a precursor to a very big Ice Age like the one that ended some 10,000 years ago.

No one has the answer to that one. That the world is getting warmer, by the records being taken and the fact that the glaciers are melting is a known fact.

I don't see why people still dispute that it is happening.

The question really should be "What can we do about it, if anything? And, when it will take a turn for the worse"

I'd rather see the money spent on proper sea defences and research to reverse the weather effects, as well as cutting back foosil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions to as little as possible, which will hopefully reduce the rate at which things are getting worse. for the sake of those several billions of us who won't get taken to a colony on the Moon or Mars.
