So, yes, things are getting hot... but Humans are not the main responsable. There is some people gaining economic advantages blaming CO2, when Cosmic Radiation has much more responsibility

I've reached a conclusion on this global warming / climate change issue. Honestly...I don't care if it's anthropogenic or not. I really don't.
Know what I DO care about? I'm REALLY worried about some of the more pressing environmental concerns that are being swept under the rug while everybody is busy fighting about this global warming crap.
What about deforestation? Maybe we should stop cutting down trees and start planting them instead. Maybe we should start taking better care to preserve our wilderness lands instead of carving out more dead spots in the earth. It would certainly be more effective than bickering about carbon emissions!
Another URGENT issue that needs to be addressed is the danger that GMO crops cause to the environment. Through the winds of cross pollination, these are not only dangerous to humans, but dangerous to other plant and animal life as well. GMO plants have already been discovered growing in the wild where they have not been planted. The implications of that are HUGE. This is a REAL danger to our environment. So dangerous that it could possibly rewrite the genetic code of the entire planet!
Then there is geoengineering (that's chemtrails). Those toxic chemicals they are spraying are coming down and killing our soil and killing our plant life. Please take note that this is not only poisoning us, it is poisoning our planet!
Guess what all these environmental issues have in common!!!! They are all INDISPUTABLY ANTHROPOGENIC. We may or may not have any control over climate change...but deforestation, GMO crops, and geoengineering are all real man made environmental threats that we can put a stop to by simply not doing them anymore. Now if our politicians will get their heads out of their @$$es and deal with these issues first, maybe then I will take global warming a bit more seriously. But until that happens...I see no point.

I love how the OP's revolutionary ultra-doom scenario is just a personal re-hash of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth Training Program. Really? The same people that were accused of scandal?
And now their revised arguent is, sure the sets were augmented, but only to produce a "best case" scenario? in fact its a lot worse than we have been telling you... this is just hilarious.

So you think that global warming will just continue and we'll all just watch the waters rise and get hotter and hotter?
Do YOU KNOW what happens at the tipping point of the warming period? Do you KNOW what follows a warming period? Man made warming or not, WHAT FOLLOWS this warming period.???? Have you done your research?
A cycle is a cycle................warm/cold warm/cold as it has been and will be forever.
Do you know what is breathing down your neck right now? Thats right............an ice age. An Ice Age is much worse than a global warming ever could be. Sit on that for a while.

OP!
CO2 rise lags by at least 800 yrs! First temps rise then CO rises after. Trying to explain that our present demise is man made flies out the window.
CO2 Levels have been higher in the distant past than they are now. It was a natural cycle of earth splitting, spewing just as it is now
www.skepticalscience.com...
We are in an interglacial soon to be in a glacial period
We have been in a cooling trend for 12 yrs. This is climate change. Temps will be sporadic all over the world until the big chill comes.

You do realize that the climategate scientists were exonerated by independent investigations on multiple occasions right? What scandal are you referring to?
Now a supposedly independent review of the evidence says, in effect, "nothing to see here." Last week "The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review," commissioned and paid for by the University of East Anglia, exonerated the University of East Anglia. The review committee was chaired by Sir Muir Russell, former vice chancellor at the University of Glasgow.
Mr. Russell took pains to present his committee, which consisted of four other academics, as independent. He told the Times of London that "Given the nature of the allegations it is right that someone who has no links to either the university or the climate science community looks at the evidence and makes recommendations based on what they find."
No links? One of the panel's four members, Prof. Geoffrey Boulton, was on the faculty of East Anglia's School of Environmental Sciences for 18 years. At the beginning of his tenure, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU)—the source of the Climategate emails—was established in Mr. Boulton's school at East Anglia. Last December, Mr. Boulton signed a petition declaring that the scientists who established the global climate records at East Anglia "adhere to the highest levels of professional integrity."

Whether or not the earth is changing on its own is irrelevant. It very well may be. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the CO2 we have been emitting is causing the earth to warm the likes of which have never been seen.
[bolding is my own]
On the contrary, it is of high relevance.
If the earth has its own swings in climate change, you will never stop it. Humans might have influenced the climate change to a degree that is truth. However, humans could never out do nature. What nature wants to do nature will do, humans will just have to deal with it.
Again, humans might have had some degree of influence in the climate change. It is impossible that we have had the degree of influence that some claim though. That is simply the huge ego of humans speaking when they think they have that degree of control on nature.
What is going to happen will, no amount of spewing regurgitated crap will change that. In a way, the OP is right there is no stopping what is coming; however, it is not the tragedy that is being relayed. Humans will be removed from the earth and it will go on as a different earth, a better earth.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that NINETY SEVEN percent of climate scientists agree that global warming is real and caused by human emissions? You will notice as well that the 3% that don’t agree are also the least qualified:
Just to point something out, in 2007 99% of economists said there was no recession coming, and there was not a housing bubble. Point being, you can't just trust the opinions of so-called 'experts' when they have made careers stating a certain view point and looking exclusively for data to support their view point.
These same climate scientists said the past two hurricane season would be the worst in generations. These same climate scientists' models for temperature and storms have been off EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
What you have to realize, is that no matter what field an 'expert' is in, they conform their research and models to fit their opinions. It is the very very small minority that has independence of thought that end up being the most accurate, and also the most ridiculed. This is true in all fields.
The earth has warmed and cooled for millions of years. The earth has gone through natural catastrophic disasters throughout HUMAN history. Jungles turn into deserts; deserts turn in jungles. Land becomes sea-floor; sea-floor becomes habitable land. And what were humans at those times doing? Blaming themselves, sacrificing people and asking their God(s) for forgiveness. Not much has changed has it? We still don't understand how the Earth, or Sun, or Universe really work. But the human ego always thinks they do, and they are always proven wrong. As a general rule of thumb, no matter what area you are thinking about, find the expert consensus and go the other direction.edit on 2-11-2010 by johnny2127 because: spelling correction

Who is this man giving the talk and what are his credentials and what could he gain from such a presentation?
Dan Miller is Managing Director of The Roda Group, a venture capital group focused on clean technology as well as information and communications services. Dan serves on the boards of several Roda Group companies including biofuel manufacturer Solazyme, and he was previously the president of Ask Jeeves, Inc., a former Roda Group affiliate company. Mr. Miller was Executive Vice President of TCSI Corporation, a company he co-founded with his Roda Group partner, Roger Strauch. TCSI (now owned by Rocket Software) is a leading provider of integrated software products and services for the global telecommunications industry. Prior to TCSI, Mr. Miller was a systems engineer at Hughes Aircraft's (now Boeing) Space and Communications Group where he was responsible for designing communications payloads for commercial communications satellites. Dan received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, with distinction, from Cornell University and his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He holds three patents in the areas of compression technology and wireless communications systems.
Roda group
well it certainly looks like he is an acredited climatologist and he probably won't make any money out of scaring people.

I think you are misinterpreting what many are saying. The vast vast majority of people are not saying that Global Warming or climate change is a hoax, they are saying that its not man-made.

I'm sure it has been said but I didn't want to read 17 pages of posts. Just in case, I think the claim of the op as a certified expert on UFOs and Global Warming perfectly describes to the entire argument. Probably should take off the tin foil hat before he posts again. Hilarious.

ALL THE DATA SUPPORTS CLIMATE CHANGE IS CAUSED BY COSMIC RAYS. Watch the video or suffer wandering spewing propaganda for the rest of your miserable life.edit on 2-11-2010 by libertytoall because: (no reason given)
