[environment] The Great Global Warming Swindle [politics] (445)

What annoys me about the Global Warming argument is how little people have read up on it before putting forth a semi intelligent argument. Most of the points that people raise are redundant.

"So what, worst case scenario is a 5-6 degrees increase in temperature."
Protip buddy: 1 fucking degree Celcius change in your body temperature is enough to kill you. 5-6 degrees increase will wipe out entire species of animal.

"Water level rising a few meters is not so bad."
Have you noticed how much of our population lives on the coast? Do you realise that it only takes "a few metres" to submerge a city?

And if you haven't noticed already, the only parties playing down Global Warming are the US and the big corporates. Question is, who would you trust? The petition signed by numerous Nobel Prize winners or the people who want to protect their short term profits?
