Now let me try to explain something very simple to you. Statistical models predict based on correlation. CO2 and global temperature have both increased over the past 150 years. Hence you can build a nice statistical model that predicts the global temperature will zoom off to infinity if the CO2 level continues to go up. However, if you were paying attention in stat 101 you would know that correlation does not imply causation. I can build the exact same statistical model for obesity causing global warming (both have increased in the past 150 years). The mathematics is the same. The problem with both climate scientists and economists is that they are putting too much trust in the ability of simple mathematics to model very complex systems and not engaging their brains.

And you're absolutely correct.

I will say this, what al gore did was really a stroke of genius. He created a new industry pretty much(green movement). Some things that have to do with global warming are infact true, but I wouldn't say it's all doom and gloom like al gorlioni tries to make it out to be.
But you have to admit, all of the concrete we are laying on this planet doesn't really help the planet. Think of it like a brick oven. The Italians used brick ovens forever to cook with, and other cultures of people of course. The reason they use them even to this day is because they retain heat. Now think about all the concrete we have layed on earth. At nightime, naturally the earth should cool off some since the sun is not beaming on that particular part of the earth. But since the concrete retains heat throughout the night, the earth doesn't cool off as much as it would have a thousand years ago. Now compound that with all of the factories and cars and such, and of course the planet will be warmer then it was a thousand years ago. What al gore did was basically go to big business and say " what if I told you there was a way that I can make it to where you can charge more for a product, and do nothing other then label the product green etc". Al gore may sound stupid, but he's pretty damn good at business. Not to mention what he did has changed laws and regulations all over the world, plus created a plethora of new products for his green movement. | ||

But I would definitely say that it isn't all doom and gloom. When mother nature has had enough of us and our ways, she will turn things right again. She has an entire arsenal of hurricanes,tornadoes,earthquakes and tsunamis to work with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

fyi mitt's economic plan is as follows:
Stop Runaway Federal Spending And Debt. Reduce federal spending as a share of GDP to 20 percent – its pre-crisis average – by 2016. In so doing, reduce policy uncertainty over the need for future tax increases. Reform The Nation’s Tax Code To Increase Growth And Job Creation. Reduce individual marginal income tax rates across-the-board by 20 percent, whilekeeping current low tax rates on dividends and capital gains. Reduce the corporateincome tax rate – the highest in the world – to 25 percent. Broaden the tax base to ensure that tax reform is revenue-neutral. Reform Entitlement Programs To Ensure Their Viability. Gradually reduce growth in Social Security and Medicare benefits for more affluentseniors. Give more choice in Medicare to improve value in health care spending. Block grant the Medicaid program to states, enabling experimentation to better fit localsituations. Make Growth And Cost-Benefit Analysis Important Features Of Regulation. Remove regulatory impediments to energy production and innovation that raise costs toconsumers and limit job creation. Repeal and replace the Dodd-Frank Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable CareAct. The Romney alternatives will emphasize better financial regulation and market-oriented, patient-centered health care reform Stop Runaway Federal Spending And Debt.
