You think global warming is crap? Here is a video to put some sense in you.

Erm its just white XD.

 

man i sure wish Bush can still be president!

 

Lol look at the video. I posted the link. Chief. Stop using this thread as a way to gain posts. your just rambling on how you hate barack and how you need to get some sense knocked into you about global warming and economic issues. Do you really think the climate isn't getting hotter/colder depending on where you live? Do you really think that the US has the best economy in the world?

Facts:

Global Warming

Is It Happening?

Yes. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.

• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.

• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.

• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.

• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.

• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.

• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.

US's Economy

•Credit markets

Libor, interest rate spreads.

The spread between the London Interbank Overnight Rate, or Libor, and an ultrasafe 3-month Treasury bill has recently been 75 basis points, but is usually about 10. If the spread returns to normal, the danger from the credit squeeze could be over and the economy might escape without too many scratches.

The biggest unknown in the economy right now is the condition of short-term credit markets that big businesses rely on for their immediate funding needs. Some of those markets are functioning well, but others are clogged up. Some firms, especially those in the mortgage business, can't sell commercial paper at any price. Other companies can't get funding from banks because banks are hoarding their reserves.

•Capital spending

Investments in core equipment. Profits.

If companies can't borrow money, they'll turn increasingly to their own internal funds from profits to finance expansion projects. The good news is that many companies are sitting on loads of retained earnings and have the capacity to invest, but many others will feel the squeeze as profit growth slows in 2008.

•Oil prices

Crude oil futures prices. Core inflation rates.

If there's anything worse than recession, it's stagflation, a condition that combines slow growth and rising prices. As well as determining whether inflation remains steady and manageable or explodes out of control, the price of oil could be a major factor in how fast the global economy grows.

The good news so far: Core inflation remains moderate. But inflation hawks on the Fed and in the private sector worry that an inflationary psychology could be taking hold that could push all prices higher.

•Exports

Exports, the value of the dollar, global growth rates

If there's one bright spot in the U.S. economy, it's the growth of exports. With the dollar weakening, U.S. producers are once again gaining market share in the global market place. Slowly, the U.S. economy is transforming from a nation that builds too many homes to a nation that makes tradable goods.

•Housing

The number of homes on the markets, housing starts.

Housing has been the big drag on the economy for several years and will probably be so again in 2008.

Home builders have been trying to slash their inventory of unsold homes, but haven't made much progress because sales are falling as fast as new construction is. The official inventory statistics understate how bad it really is for builders because they don't account for canceled sales.

Few observers expect any growth from housing in the next year, although some expect the bottom to come by midyear, while others don't hold out any hope for 2008 at all. If the inventory of homes on the market falls enough, the housing market could stop being such a negative.

 

some of global warming is crap because who uses corn oil!

 

ahha not really.

 

ice is never going to melt god put it that way i mean like 1 volcano can do what man can to in like 100 years!

 

has anyone seen that picture of the polar bear on that glacier of ice? people think he is alone and he is soon going to die but behind that is like a land full of ice the polar bear is just taking a swim!

 

I just edited my post. Read all the facts. and wtf are their two accounts that are nearly identical???

MANY PEOPLE WOULD USE CORN OIL! Instead of fossil fuels which pollute the atmosphere with excess Co2 (HARMFUL) for emissions they would release clean air. Corn oil has better fuel efficiency then Fossil Fuels!

 

OMFG. This is need of double post. You think god put the earth this way? I really don't think god is that real but there has to be an explanation better than "God Made Earth" Earth was formed by a scientific happening called the Big Bang. This is when a cosmic explosion marked the beginning of the universe.

Let me dumb it down for Chief.
"It was when a big boom sploded and made the earth."

 

Out of the two, I would want McCain.

 

Shakaka you need to explain yourself. give detail on why you think he will be best.
