Aaron - you´re the kind of brainless idiot that give car fans a bad name.
stick to what u know jim
I do stick to what I know, which is why I don´t shoot my mouth off about something I have no understanding of - like you.
no jim i have done quite alot of research into this and quite frankly their isnt any proof of the alleged link between co2 and climate change as they say and really i dont think you have any right confront me about this as you dont have a clue do you? rhetorical incase you arent getting the jist
I´m sure all of the world´s climatologists will be interested to hear about your research Aaron.
ok give me some contact details ill be happy to set them straight as well as you in the mean time well your looking in the dictionary to find out how to spell each word you want to use to reply to this im off to burn some petrol to see how many polar bears i can kill with my nature hating scooby
whatever its all a big scam to get idiots like you to worry and being obnoxious like you are you couldnt possibly believe anything that isnt wrote down on a piece of paper oh and btw if you have any email addresses for any well known climatologists then send them this way because i can tell you now that i have questions that they wont be able to answer much like you global warming is one of the biggest hoaxes to plague our time and quite honestly if your going to burden yourself with believing it then thats up to you
What´s the point? You´ll only copy and past some nonsense from a lunatic website you´ve found, probably rambling on about sunspots and natural periods of warming. What on Earth makes people like you think that you know more about pretty much the whole scientific community baffles me. Stupidity, selfishness, or both. Keep your head buried in the sane id you want, I prefer to have my eyes open.
your the minority the majority of people do not believe in global warming it was invented for to reasons to give people like you a sense of meaning and to rob every normal person of their earnings
You´re wrong - the majority believe in human-cause climate change. You can´t even back up your arguments with the simplest of facts. Besides, who are you going to ask for advice on climatology - a climatologist of a bloke down the pub. I wonder who you look to for medical advice.
