Ah, one classic misunderstanding. Global Warming doesn't just mean warming. Actually, it means warmer summers, colder winters, more strange tides, more destructive weather, more stuff like El Nino, and a lot other effects...
Oh yeah, and that thing about the next ice age hasn't really changed. We're still right on the edge of where we should start dropping into another ice age... and its uncertain if global warming has warmed it so much that that cycle will change.
One of the stupidest things in the world is people still trying to deny that global warming is occuring. ALL of the relevant science proves it. It is absolutely insane and ludicrous to deny that it is happening... even President Bush was forced to admit a while back that there is global warming! Sure, he then said some idiotic stuff about how we can't do anything to avoid it, but after looking at the science even HE had to admit that it is occuring.
And fossil fuels are CLEARLY one of the prime reasons... that comes from everything I've read that is remotely releveant from this issue...
And finally. That link there is a small minority of left-wing people. Its about as accurate as if I linked a page with quotes from Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh and said that they are the views of the whole of concervatism...
I don't agree with most of those quotes, and a big part of the reason is that that website did its best to find the most radical quotes they could find...
There is of course one vital question on this issue.
Which will happen first:
-Running out of oil
-Irrevocably destroying the ecosystem beyond the point of no return...
