    And they can predict the weather now or a hundred years ago? Oh and your not supposed to call it global warming any more, they changed it to climate change because of the recent cooling trend.

  • TheComplex9:

    Go smoke some more pot you retard.

  • flamingfi1:

  • TheComplex9:

    It is scientifically proven. Now you’re just talking out your ass. The proof is out there. You’ve just been listening to the right winged media too much.

    Sounds like you don’t read any books. I know big words are hard to read, but knowledge is power!

  • flamingfi1:

    omg you are so stupid and so ignorant. It is a theory not yet proven. As far as i’m concerned it is just an unproven theory

    what the hell does this have to do with reading a book. btw i dont read childrens books on global warming like you do. Don’t beleive everything you hear

  • TheComplex9:

    You idiot. The weather isn’t going to warm up over night.

    I’ll say it again so maybe it’ll sink in…

    Climate is the study of weather over SEVERAL DECADES. By 2050 is when the global temperatures will be at dangerous levels if nothing is done.

    Again; Read. A. Book. You. Ignorant. Tool.
