Well saying that I follow this whole idea like a cult is insulting, not that it matters, but I have been very open to the idea of global warming to be a complete fallacy, maybe not right now though.
Say what you will but I guess I am a bit of a tree-hugger who doesn't enjoy the idea of many species going extinct or destruction of our ecosystem, not saying that you do.
Once the truth emerges, this "global warming" should simply be noted as part of the wake up call that humans need to change the way they are living.
Yet last week in Geneva, at the UN's World Climate Conference--an annual gathering of the so-called "scientific consensus" on man-made climate change --Latif conceded the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering "one or even two decades during which temperatures cool."

Water vapor is a huge greenhouse gas, should we limit that as well?
I don't follow your logic, regardless of if mankind is the cause of Global warming, you contend that our actions could stop it?
I have news for you, if it is a true natural cycle Climate Change, there is nothing that Mankind will be able to do to stop it or even change it. Do you think we could prevent another Ice Age?

...Some of the worst things I have heard from christians usually follow along the lines of, "God put these resources on the Earth for humanity to use, and it will always be plentiful." or simply "I don't give a # about the environment!" ...
...And as coincidence theorists or Christian why not change your ways anyway? ...

Have you ever considered that periods of global warming and periods of global cooling might just be part of the Earths natural cycles?
Kinda like the up coming polar shift. The earths poles flip every 12 to 15 thousand years... Can't blame mankind for that one can ya?
It is a natural event in my opinion.... I mean... Cows burp more green house gases than cars but I don't hear anyone calling for the genocide of beef....

I think the real question we should be asking is: If global warming is a naturally occurring event (and it is), then who stands to gain from blowing it out of proportion? What's the motive. For me carbon credits come to mind. As the Bible mentions - The love of money is the root of all evil.

Totally miss my point. You would be a moron to think the earths resources are unlimited. You are attempting to put me in a little box in your head.
You suffer from black and white thinking. Dangerous and subject to misinterpreting reality.
Me - believer - green - good
They - deniers - polluters - bad
Snap out of it! That is sheepist, follower thinking.
