Global Warming
A jury has decided that humans are not responsible for global warming. Here is the link: Link
Now can we finally put this global warming issue behind us?

Are you kidding…….you can never get tired of being a dead horse…..right??!!!
I’ve already put it behind me.
probably not
was that OJ’s jury?
lol, thats dumb – its us
Plleeasssee.
Wait, I thought we had a “global consensus” that we are the problem.
I thought it was true, Al Gore told me it was. He is an expert! An expert damnit!
Well I could have told you that. The sixth graders are smarter than Al Gore.
Why wouldn’t it be already? Come on… by the time this world is destroyed, humanity will have discovered a way to live without it.
I have Biblical proof that anything negative that happens to the environment is a result of human activity.
And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; (Genesis 3:17 ESV)
When mankind messed up at the very beginning, he not only messed himself up, but he also messed up the creation. For further proof of this, check out the New Testament.
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. (Romans 8:19-22 ESV)
We messed it up, therefore it is our responsibility to fix it. After all, the first responsibility that God gave humanity was to take care of and keep the creation. This is one command that, in all of Scripture, has never been changed.
lol yeah right…
it was already behind me.
Oh, and has anyone noticed how many of Gore’s “Climate Crisis” speeches have been cancelled due to inclimate weather? When I went to Yale, the student guide was bragging about Gore’s speech there… he didn’t mention that it was given on the coldest day on record in New Haven.
APuritanMindset- prove the bible before you start proving other things from the bible.
Well, Dan….you’ve got Biblical proof now. That good ’nuff?
wow, I didn’t even know we were on trial!
*Hugs*
hm, I wonder how they figured that out. Probably got tired of Mr. Gore.
Didn’t we this already? It’s kind of a natural cycle…
AS IF!
*Didn’t we know this
*raises her eyebrow*
probably not
I wish.
The new home of the communists is in the environmentalist groups. That is why these groups are always against freedoms and property owner rights. Think about it. So even though the facts tells us they are lying through their teeth, that will not stop them. They keep spreading those lies and there will always be politicians and wacko people like Algore who will believe them and help spread those lies.
yes, because a jury is capable of excusing mankind for its abuse of the world. *rolls eyes*
whats global warming?….is that that think that Al Gore invented around the same time he invented the internet?
Nope. Do not believe the higher authorities anymore.
hahah! We exonerate ourselves. Awesome.

Yeah, there was that one speech on global warming that had to be canceled because of a snowstorm.
No, we can’t. Although global warming is a natural, global, climate change just like the ice age and jurassic age, I believe that humans have sped up the process, and we need to do something about it.
What’s interesting is that global warming has been both disproved and proven by statistics and data.
But Al Gore said….
I’m trying to open the link, I’m curious as to who this “jury” is, as my understanding is that all articles written in scientific, peer-reviewed journals on this topic directly linked humans to global warming.
If in fact it is proven that we aren’t causing it, we still need to deal with the effects that will come of it. Climate patterns are still being disturbed, ocean levels will rise, and we need to deal with these situations as they happen.
Oh well a JURY decided it. Surely they are more qualified than, say, Scientists!!
and tell lead_more I don’t appreciate being called a communist.
yes please
Wow… um I just found that link. Thanks, Dan. This is really great. People already have a hard time accepting this issue as a real one, and posts like this don’t really help. Most people probably won’t even bother to look at the link and will take your word as their excuse.
B/c I would DEFINITELY trust 6th graders MUCH MORE than, like, actual scientists and stuff.
But is the jury’s decision George Bush’s fault?
A jury decided OJ Simpson didn’t slaughter his wife and her lover too.
NEWSFLASH: GLOBAL WARMING CAN ALSO CAUSE COLD WEATHER IN PLACES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT EXPECT IT. At this point it’s mostly responsible for f*ing up weather patterns, so some places may be warmer than usual, others a lot wetter, others colder. Just b/c there’s some snow storm somewhere doesn’t disprove global warming.
RYC: I know it’s a joke, but it’s evident that most of your commenters are taking it seriously.
oh come ON guys!! At least open the link and read the Title of the article. You’re missing the big joke here…..
A jury of 6th graders?!?!?!?!?
Wow Dan, that is one powerful jury of sixth graders you have there.
lmao…. good one Dan
Oh, well…if a bunch of sixth graders have proven it!
LOL @ AristotleForDummies…
Lol.. What the hell?
I don’t think so.
that’s cute.
not only is global warming false, but Al Gore just may be one of the biggest hypocrites known to exist.
Do sub-planets count as planets now? Otherwise I think it would be hard to find a jury of twelve peers for the earth.
Can we just put Al Gore behind us?
Hopeful aren’t you all?
This cavalier attitude towards global warming makes me ask MYSELF questions I know my answer to.
What is the value of human life? How important is comfort? Who measures comfort?
Everyone poo poos what is going on now. Well that is ok, I am not going to get angry or up in arms about it. The results of the world’s actions wont be felt in our lifetime, so who cares, right?
I’ll live my life. There is no God saying human life is more valuable that animal life, or we must keep the planet exactly as it is now.
Every action you take will have a consequence. Maybe people who come after you will curse you every day, what do you care? You will be dead.
Haha, after all, Al Gore invented Global Warming, just like he invented the internet, and we are a god fearing nation doing what God wants us to, as great Christains, banning myspace and having sex AFTER we are married, it’s all part of the great scheme, God’s scheme and what is anyone worried about?
Seriously? A CHRISTIAN JURY TELLS US WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING.
God has spoken. Rainbow suicide candy flip, who cares anyway…
Oh, excuse me, the sixth graders have spoken.
Sixth grade was about the time I tried on my first condom.
It was too big, it fell off.
The rest of my life was a nightmare because of it…
are you kidding me?
In the bible it clearly states that after the 40 days and 40 nights of the earth being flooded, God sayed the earth would never be flooded again. Besides how much has the temperature changed? a half a degree? By the time anything major would ever happen which it won’t, we will all be gone anyway. More tax dollars…
does anyone remember acid rain. How I love environmental fads
that will teach me to click on links before commenting
yeah, its natural.
jupiter and mars are having their own fever so to speak.
of course it will take jupiter much longer because its so huge.
Okay well… I do think that its kinda ridiculous that a jury decided something like that. Who made them the final say? Anyways, it is the responsibility of humans to help PREVENT global warming.
Well, if sixth-graders were able to reach a consensus, I suppose you could say that the verdict is in. I really don’t think there’s room any more for dissenting voices. You’ll have to appeal to the twelve year old experts.
juries have been swayed by less convincing arguments to find a guilty person innocent. why not excuse all of man kind since in a sense a conviction means a conviction of the self and that would be a concept too humbling for many humans…
No.
I’ve never cared about global warming. I’ll most likely be dead before the sun explodes and we all burn.
IMO people that believe global warming is real are like people who think that you can catch a computer virus by sneezing on your hard drive. They don’t research anything, they just think ‘what makes sense’ is fact without actually putting any thought into it.
Probably not. The liberal idiots will come up with another excuse to make it an issue. PROUDTOBEACHRISTIANFRUITCAKE has an interesting post on the issue at the moment
Okay, someone answer me this. If global warming is just a lie and nothing more, then why would the definite majority of the scientific community be so concerned of this? It really makes no sense to me that they would just make something up like that when they have nothing to gain by lying.
yeah…that doesnt change the fact that its still there. sorry.
SInce… when is the project of a 6th grade class newsworthy?
Seriously? A CHRISTIAN JURY TELLS US WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING.

Oh, excuse me, the sixth graders have spoken.
Posted 3/23/2007 2:21 PM by Benjimon76
Haha… how does it feel like to eat crow?
Please, I’m appealing to your pride now (I mean people in general, not just you. Sorry to be picking on you Benjimon, I like some of your funnier comments). Stop making assumptions. Your lack of education (ie. reading) shows, and you’re just pissing off a lot of people. Do some research before you say something.
Ew.
punch al gore
Those are 6th graders
I just do my part. Even though global warming is not entirely attributed to human activity.
That’s a fun article. I’ll leave it at that.
It took them this long to figure it out? Sheesh, a simple look at the percentages should be enough to convince anyone.
JimmyJazz86 mentioned “definite majority of the scientific community”. Is the number of supporting scientists in decline now?? ::shocked expression:: sorry. I’m working on being less sarcastic with these issues…
LOL
I’m guessing that was sarcasm~
If you’re serious then..
>_>.. well, i’m speechless =P
Hahaha, I am not going to eat crow, i am going to eat a sausage egg and cheese lean pocket, that is what I am going to do.
And start a xanga petition to ban condoms for sixth graders.
Please can we?
You still didn’t answer my question, JAM4the1Lamb. What do scientists gain out of making up something like this and getting people to believe it?
Uh… no.
Even if humans are not the cause of global warming, doesn’t mean we can’t do something about it. Our species as well as other species are in danger of being wiped out because of global warming (granted nothing is going to happen right now, but future generations are in trouble). Shouldn’t we care about our children and grandchildren and so on? Don’t we have a responsibility as the most intelligent creatures on this planet to protect the planet and its inhabitants? Don’t we have a responsibility to protect ourselves?
…
Oh… it was a trial held by sixth graders. Yeah… They know all. Psh… How dare you trick us, Dan! And I still stand on what I said.
I wouldnt even bother responding to this idiotic thing, save a note for Dan.
I hope you read this. This is the most idiotic thing you have ever posted.
Wow… um I just found that link. Thanks, Dan. This is really great. People already have a hard time accepting this issue as a real one, and posts like this don’t really help. Most people probably won’t even bother to look at the link and will take your word as their excuse.

Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing.
I HATE CHILDREN AND THE BIBLE
6th graders. hah, stop spreading your crap.
I guess that means I can sell my Toyota and buy an SUV or a truck
Nice thinking, APuritanMindset..
=]
Please tell me this isn’t true…
Or I’m moving to another country.
6th graders…
The very equivalent of what the nay-sayers’ minds and theories amount to…
OH! THIS JUST IN!
The Earth is the center of the universe! A jury has decided it!
Only if we decide to trust the scientific judgement of 6th graders.
sixth graders!!!! it is obvious dramatic changes in climate/temperatures were not able to stop their proceedings
Haha, after reading the article:
Yes. At least, I can put it behind me. Thanks to the young 6th graders for the good example.
Now if only adults could be sensible like them….. ;P
Not with a bunch of grade school kids as jury, no.
Take them to see “An Inconvenient Truth,” and see if they say the same.
I <3 Al Gore.
Of course we can’t, putting it behind us would be admitting that Al Gore is wrong. You know that can not be allowed!
We certainly should put it behind us. It irritates me that people think that saying we are not the cause is denying that it is happening. It is not that simple, We can prove that the globe is warming. We do not however, know at what rate and the evidence when taken as a whole seems to prove that we are not the cause of it. I just wish people would stop listening to their own crap and start listening to the whole truth. If you want to you could show facts proving that George Washington killed JFK. It would really be a stretch and you would have to ignore many facts but I am sure you could do it.
No, because now the humans that ruined the earth have to help repair it.
oh great. now people are saying we didn’t cause global warming. finally environmentalists get some publicity for their issue and can’t even prove it for themselves. they’ll never succeed!!! seriously. ecology is one of the most important emergencies the world has ever had to face, and we have the most incompetent idiots as our main activists!!! i am miffed.
but to the people who still refuse to admit we need to fix global warming, i am disappointed in your naivety and denial. shame on you.
Since when do you let a group of sixth graders decide the merit of a potentially extremely important scientific theory?
You people who think global warming isn’t people’s faults are idiots.
I bet you’ve never actually RESEARCHED the issue. I bet you went by what someone, or the media said. :/
Okay, first off you retards, global warming has been around a hell of a lot longer than Al Gore’s video. If you would actually take the time to notice things other than your lives, you might realize this.
Second off, it is our faults because of all the carbon dioxide we are putting in to the air. It might not be as bad if we stopped cutting down trees, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility. Do you people honestly want to go into a world where it’s hot all the time? I know I don’t. It sounds miserable to me. We are causing global warming. And for those of you asking what it is and being smartasses about it, do us a favor and grow up. Some of us actually care about our future because some of us will actually be around to live in it.
I don’t want to be around to watch a million different horrible things happen to our world. Yeah, it sucks, but why make it even worse? That jury is probably a bunch of crack addicts.
We’re causing it. End of story. It’s about time that we all start to accept it and do something about it.
We messed it up, therefore it is our responsibility to fix it. After all, the first responsibility that God gave humanity was to take care of and keep the creation. This is one command that, in all of Scripture, has never been changed.

While I think it is interesting that you have taken the Biblical standpoint on this I do have one question for you. If we are born in sin, and there is nothing in any Christian religious text I have read that says we are NOT sinners, how can this be fixed? If original sin caused the problem and we have not ceased to be sinners, then obviously we cannot stop global warming. All we can do is ask for forgiveness for screwing up the planet, assuming of course that global warming is caused by us to begin with. Just a thought…
how about a jury of scientists?
If only.
The “Al Gore invented the internet hurr” horse is dead. He said he funded the people who ended up providing the basis for the internet, not that he actually invented it. Dumbshits.
Just because Global warming is going on doesn’t mean it automatically stops snowing, now, forever. Yes, it will still snow, regardless of how warm the earth becomes.
I am sorry but there is undening evidence proving what we are doing to this country is causing global warming. and any of you who are ignorant enough not to believe so need to do a little research on your own. Don’t just rely on gores movie. Sure we had some damn cold days this winter, even here in arizona, but notice how it took a long time to get here? it was warmer longer this year than any other year, and it was the same way the previous year. Here in Arizona we are experiencing record highs up into the 90′s and it is still spring. Suck it jackass’ we created this problem, we need to fix it.
I meant world, not coutnry… I am just a dumbass all the same.
Yes, if we can get our science from a movie and a politician, why not a 6th grade class?
“I HATE CHILDREN AND THE BIBLE”
Ever notice how often this things go together?
“how about a jury of scientists?”
That would be prefect, then a few of you would see that scientists are not united on this.
It would be a hung jury
no. it IS because of human. uhmm. pollution anyone?
no, go outside…it’s rather hard to miss
You’ll notice as you read through that everyone’s being hostile towards each other. Why do that? It’s a civil discussion and should be treated as such..
Also, some of you need to chill out. “We didn’t cause it” does NOT mean “we shouldn’t need to fix it” or “Global warming doesn’t exist”
personally I believe we are not the cause of global warming, but I take a little effort to fix it all. Who knows? Global warming might not be real, or it might be fake. Either way it’s nice to make the effort, isn’t it?
Oh, and before you go fixing the world maybe you people should try and work your attitudes properly. Every little tiny discussion doesn’t need to be a shouting fight.
p.s. Stop being smartassish. Seriously. Both sides are being dicks, and we don’t need that.
arg, pardon me on that last bit. I guess I should practice what I preach, eh? Well, I’m horribly sorry for that final rude piece, just so you know. The other stuff is still important though, reflect on it.
Take care everyone, don’t do anything stupid.
was that OJ’s jury?
Yesss!!!!
And no. The jury is wrong.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
my teacher showed us this video in my AP environmental class showing us the opposing argument against global warming.
it’s kind of long but i learned a lot.
i really was a hardcore believer in global warming, but now i’m not so sure because of this video.
it has a lot of good points refuting the arguments that al gore presents in An Inconvenient truth.
Does nobody read anything?
They’re SIXTH GRADERS, not the UN.
what global warming issue? ohhhhhhh… the one Al Gore invented, just like he invented the internet… nah, global warming isn’t an issue… PERIOD.
Never. Not as long as we pollute & the temperature rises.
Whew! Thank goodness we can put that one to rest.
no.
no. some people would rather neglect the truth then accept the fact that we are the cause of global warming.
Psh, hell no, I for one refuse to. Higher authorities and corporations wont admit to it, they dont want to have to deal with it and possibly, OMG…work! or, forbid, not make quite as much money, greedy assholes, the lot of them. Theres plenty of evidence that A.) it is natural, its a natural cycle and so on but there is evidence that B.) We are not helping any at all and are making it alot worse, and theres not much time left to act on it, and we are just slow-cooking ourselves.
ok, done.
Yeah, a jury of sixth graders.
o.O
You can’t vote on facts.
why would you want to put it behind?! hello?! global warming is a serious issue!!! if it wouldn’t be stopped, earth will vanish!!! maybe you wanna die already.. think of others first. think of the next generations.. what kind of life.. and world would they have.. if today’s people.. are not taking the issue on global warming seriously?
YAY!! I hope so.
If an earthquake or flood occured and damaged our land a property do we leave it alone cause we didn’t cause it? If we still want a place for future generations to live I don’t think we can let it rest.
And I’ve believed that for years since the ice age occured and then warming and then cooling and humans had nothing to do with it.
Wow, it is our fault. Im very much against global warming. Im a vegetarian and I care about the environment. It took ppl long enuf to realize everything. But finally they are realizing it. Now that they know, why don’t some ppl do something about it.
Hehe … what are other terms? Tree Huggers?
um
did anyone actually look at the link..
No. Who’s the jury made of?
I’m glad there are teachers out there who encourage freedom of thought. I can’t tell you how much I got to hear about the terrible problem that is rainforest destruction and how it was going to end the world. I would have appreciated some opposing viewpoints.
this is what i have to say to global warming….ahblubidehbluhbehrbidblUH blahbidybladbidy blah
What are we going to do to stop it? I am not that worried about it. For those who believe in evolution- when the world gets so warm that all the ice melts and drowns everything, shouldn’t the fittest survive and adapt by like growing gills or something. If it gets so hot that people start burning alive, won’t we develop non-carcinogenic asbestos skin or something? Suppose the ice caps melt- a lot of the water will evaporate, so it won’t drown us entirely. Also, this global warming is probably just the continuation of the thaw trend as the most polar areas come out of the ice age. Now if you hold to billions of years, the ice ages were a long time ago and then we have reasons to worry. Maybe all of the people who lived between 200 years ago and the beginning of time were correct that the world is thousands of years old and not billions. Then the ice ages would be rather recent and the contemporary problem of global warming is just the tail end of that. Here’s another idea- if evolution is true and global warming is such a horrible problem, then maybe people just are not that fit to survive and eventually marine life will rule the entire planet instead of 70% of it. That was fun.
no way. but it should. im sick of it. like 20years ago they were concerned about global freezing. i think the earth goes in cycles
Hahahahah funny ! Nice try !
Of course not.
It’s us. Nature itself adds CO2 to try and keep things balanced, but our use of electricity with fossil fuels and whatever else there is to keep green house gasses trapped inside here, adds plenty, plenty, more thus causing Global Warming. No?
It is our doings.
We should not place this issue behind us.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! =)
Ha.
Oh THANK GOD!
I was worried.
That’s a cool activity. I wish my school did something like that.
