I am not saying that mankind doesn't impact the environment. In fact I think that global warming detracts from real environmental issues like preserving the rainforest and endangered species and such.
You think that my previous post represents my feelings because you are just as religious about global warming as Daldoma is about jesus, and you are demanding the same appeal to authority he is.
The reality is: the earth's atmosphere is a very complicated and chaotic system which is extremely difficult to model with mathematics and computers. We know it changes substantially on its own anyway, so the burden of proof is on the nuts (you) who want to fuck with the lives of millions of people. Anyway, since it appears you like links, how about :
http://www.nature.com/climate/2007/0...e.2007.22.html Go to figure 2 and note the width of the pink bar - its almost 50% of the size of the change! OK, you say, the pink bar is still going up. The reality is that the models are predicting the data on which they were trained (a huge no-no in classification) and they still have this kind of error. In other words: we don't know. Since its in Nature I'm sure you'll accept everything they say without questioning.

Geez, you were quick to throw me under the bus the second the same people started fucking with you. I'm not religious re: Jesus, I'm not even a Christian. I think Jesus was born to a mother that was exactly 0% virgin and impregnated by a man that was exactly 100% human. I simply trust the opinions of the vast majority of scholars when it comes to the historicity of Jesus, and I'm not interested in getting into the details with someone less qualified and less informed than those scholars -- especially seeing as how I am less informed than those scholars. Neither my nor Alawen's opinion on the matter is more valuable than the scholarly consensus, so him trying to convince me is utterly worthless. It's also ridiculous to entirely disregard scholarly consensus and make a statement like "there is no evidence to support the historicity of Jesus" like it's fact.
Anyway, you'll learn soon enough that you're not quite being trolled but the result is the same.
