Everyone complains about the weather but no-one ever does anything about it.
The cause of the fire is something it'd be nice to know, but it doesn't prevent us from putting it out.
Unfortunately the "debate" has caused many people to adopt a "wait and see" attitude. Of course, when sea levels rise dramatically or any of the other doomsday predictions of global warming start to play out, these same people will be the first to demand action, and by then the only action possible may be to make your peace with whichever deities you worship.

Very succinct portrayal of the state of the world, accept the world situation is complicated by the lack of actual "firefighters." Or those who would put out the fire admit that the solutions are unpalatable to "consumers." (google Derrick Jensen, for example)
Someonebetterthanyou says:
The Debate isn't where the climate is in the state of changing. It is that who is the cause. Gore is saying Humans are to blame, and Propagandists perpetuate that idea. Scientists say otherwise, but their scientists, not politicians. They don't get a constant megaphone to the world. Bad picture, poor concept, Stupid Creator.

It's against the law to yell fire when there isn't one. Global temperatures have gone down since 2001.

It's also complicated by the fact that there arn't any actual flames burning!!! Which leads us to actually question what the heck is going on if anything is going on at all!!! http://www.ClimateAudit.org for questions about the facts of the so called global warming.

Againstjunkscience: ever tried leaving an icecube inside a bottle in the sun? yes, after the ice melts, the ambient temperature inside the bottle goes down slightly. Temperature != energy. If you don't even understand the basics of thermodynamics, how can you claim to be against junk science?
QuantumG says:
I'm really not interested to hearing fucktards pretending they know better than all the environmental researchers on the planet. Global warming is real, if you can't see that, fuck off to your conspiracy theory website. The only "debate" is over whether or not humans are responsible.. which is the point of this little graphic - while we're debating whether or not we're responsible for the fire, the house is burning to the ground. What we should be doing is working out how to put the fire out.
If you want to make a point other than that, piss off to your own damn web site. If, on the other hand, you want to discuss *that point* then I invite your reply.
cromar says:
QG - if humans aren't responsible we probably shouldn't fuck with it for a bit. Could make a bigger mess...
QuantumG says:
so cromar, a house is on fire, you're of the opinion that you should let it burn for a bit longer before you even *try* to put it out, 'cause we might make it worse.
It's exactly this opinion that caused me to make this page.
Jayjay says:
I think we should stop fighting about whether it's natural or not. Cancer is natural too, but that isn't a good reason to let it run its course.
ThinkBeforeYouAct says:
The earth has warmed and cooled all by itself for eons. It probably is warming right now. I should warn anyone who thinks that we MUST DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW EVEN IF IT'S WRONG to stop, breath for a minute, and make sure that what you're doing isn't actually making things worse. It's kind of like when we replaced TEL in gasoline with MTBE: We replaced an air pollutant with a water pollutant. Are we really better off?
Universal Remonster says:
Where does everybody get off with this global warming is false, global warming is a natural cycle, the temperature has been decreasing not increasing bullshit? Every conspiracy theory (thanks for the term QuantumG, it fits nicely) that I've seen on this falls apart under the most minuscule shred of analytical reasoning. I feel like in 500 years everyone's going to be learning in history class about Al Gore leaving the Idiot Inquisition saying "but greenhouse gases do affect the climate...".
