Report: Some Climate Change Already Irreversible

Why has a lot of the churches in the South decided to teach that Global warming is a junk science? It is even taught to my students that it is unchristian to believe in climate change because the bible states the earth is only 11,000 years old so any science based on anything that happened before the last 11,000 years has to be junk.
Our masses really need educating and quit going to war with science. Science is nothing but a series of data collections and hypothesis revisions. It can and should change as we discover new data which leads to revisions. It is not a series of absolutes!

We've never had so much snow where I live. I live in central Idaho. It never snows here. It's usually 60 in the winter. We've gotten temperatures of 0 degrees here. Sorry. No global warming, the Bible doesn't tell us about that.

The results of this study are in general agreement with a study publiahed recently by Dr. James Hansen of the Goddard Space Institute in New York City, and with the consensus of the Meteorological and Climatological sciences community.
Global warming refers to an increase in GLOBAL long-term AVERAGE temperatures. It is possible for some areas to cool while the general sverage temperature increases. For example as the Northern Ice sheets continue to melt into the ocean, northeastern US and Eastern Canada may eventually cool because of the resulting slowing of the Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic.

Last week i read an article that Russian scientist in Siberia have found evidence that we are entering a new ice age that could last for thousands of years.
Maybe we should be putting more CO2 into the atmosphere to slow this down. I would rather be warm than cold
They didn't wear any clothes in the Garden of Eden so the world must have been much warmer when God created it. He allowed it to get cold to punish us. Let's see if we can make it warmer than the 22 deg and snow outside my window.

the climate is really unusual ang unnormal today,maybe sicentists predicted too seriously,but i thought is really have some great change after the First Technology evolution cuz the Oil fuel make so many carbon emissions ,that's ture man.so its important to find new the sources of energy！
BTW,i'm a 17year old boy from China, my country dont do much in the environment protection action. i'm sorry, but it will change in a few years later, i believe!
I love auto very much ,but look how GM looks like now?
trditional Gasoline Engine it's not available anymore
Hydrogen and electronic power is the future direction of auto Industrial!

Everyone better find themselves a warm cave and learn how to hunt and gather all over again.
I just love all the chicken little’s of the world.
Doesn't anyone study history any more? Every generation has a group predicting the end of mankind, and none of them have been right.
BTW, letting the states set their emissions and fuel standard will finish off the US auto makers.
Great way to create jobs....
