You guys dream on .. of course man has impact the environment. What with our fantastic exponential growth over the years, our consumption and subsequent depletion of resources - it's only a matter of time before we all run out ! Mass Starvation etc,etc

Yeah! Everyone knows that it is caused by HAARP in alaska!! Bush told Palin to make catrina!No in all seriousness, look up global dimming. It has actually caused some serious havok on a lot of research that's been done on global warming. I have not read up on what you posted, but since you seem so interested I thought I might give you a car to chase.

There is NO evidence that hurricane frequency or strength is caused by global warming. look up Dr. Christopher Landsea, a NOAA scientist who has contributed to the IPCC.

I read some comments below but I think an important issue has been overlooked: the declaration that "these islamists getting WMDs should be our first priority!" This is hilarious coming from a guy who just said that people should go on with their lives and not be scared of a fictitious enemy! After the nasty russians and the evil drug lords, now it's the mad Islamists? Apparently America needs to be at war at all times to keep the corporate giants happy. It pays to keep people living in fear!

Temperature, no. Nature, yes...within limits. Things have gone too far in some instances for humans to reverse and nature has to repair on nature's terms.

#2 - More harm is done to wildlife by throwing out plastic from six-packs without shredding it first. It ends up in lakes, rivers and oceans, strangling birds and sealife. Things along those lines clearly damage aquatic life and effect the water system. Kaeles: can you pls. post data about 'megafauna' and its place in the ecosystem?

maven0101 (January 1, 1970 at 7:29 am)

I think there's some truth to human enviornmental impact HOWEVER, NOT global warming. If the crisis were so severe, animal rights groups would have relocated wildlife at the first sign of the "irreversible loss of the polar ice layer". That they didn't says there is a natural loss of ice yet not the devasting loss. I'm not convinced animal rights groups would not be doing their jobs. There must be more than enough natural ice that hasn't shifted or its cause is oil drilling.

o.OYou are saying we haven't affected the ecosystem, and yet we managed to wipe out all the megafauna in the southwest pacific while we were still using clubs and spears...YES, we have an impact on the environment.

it makes plenty of sense..just listen insteading of being gung-ho like Israel or America..think about the reasoning behind Hamas or Al-Qaeda

rabbimafia (January 1, 1970 at 7:29 am)

this makes no sense. we do all we can to minimize hurricane loss, car accident losses, so shouldnt we do the samewhen it is done intentionally by a person.... such as al-qaeda or hamas?
