Ah...global warming. You can't deny it is happening. Hell, it's been happening for the last what, 14,000 years or so? Is it really a bad thing?
One can only assume that as the last ice age ended and temperatures started to rise, life was able to flourish. This mean a large incline of new creatures on the planet. This means more resources are being used and more waste produced. I am not even talking about humans here. What about all the other animals that cover the planet. All the methane and CO2 they produce would of been huge. At the very most the industrial age would of only increased the acceleration of this global warming.
Is it a bad thing?
All you see on the news and media is how global warming is going to kill everyone and everything on the planet. Is there actually any proof for this? What happens when your fridge or freezer gets too much ice in it? You defrost it. It makes it a lot more efficient. Perhaps the earth could be seen as a large fridge being defrosted to make the planets eco system more efficient.
You can't go on about the save the polarbear's crap. They live there, that's their problem. Mammoths used to live in the large sections of the earth covered in ice and are now extinct. That is fair, they had large woolly coats on. Once the planet warmed up they had no use for the wool and couldn't exactly pop in to a hair dressers.
Sea levels are supposed to be ever rising from the ice bergs melting. You will always see dramatic images on the news of ice falling in to the water from giant icebergs. Yes, that is what happens in the summer. They aren't going to show you pictures from the winter are they? Where it is a cold bitter white wilderness that hardly anything can survive in. Turn the heat up a bit then the animals don't have to be lazy buggers and sleep all winter. All we get is a few extra days of working to celebrate the birth of a fictional character from one of the biggest selling books of all time.
