1. Clergy on a climate

1. Clergy on a climate change panel...quotes from the bible...claims that our planet is "carbon starved..."

2. Therefore, scientists are wrong.

3. Therefore, God exists.

I refuse to watch the video on the grounds that it may cause me to lose braincells.

All this recent global

All this recent global warming talk has made me wonder if the creationist side of this particular argument is even aware that water, not carbon, is the greatest single impactor on global average temperature after Sol itself.

If God is taking care of everything...global warming won't happen.  Apparently.

I knew it was something stupid. All im going to say is he has been doing a great job so far. god seems to like helping people on the way to judgement for either heavan or hell so excuse me if I don't feel like leaveing it up to him

Correct, but the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere overall is mainly a function of sea-surface temperature, so it will magnify the warming effect of rising concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane, rather than swamping their contribution.

The whole global climate is riddled with such feed-back effects, both positive and negative, which makes any simplistic attempt to 'disprove' the links between our CO2 emmissions and climate change quite naive. It also makes it hard to explain to people unfamiliar with such concepts.

The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me

What he's saying is, "God already flooded us once and He promised not to do it again so it's all good. Don't warry about global warming. Put those coal miners back to work!!"

This is why we atheists must continue to bring to light the ridiculousness of religious thought. It will KILL us!!

Just plain stupid, we have floods every year, I realise that they aren't the entire world but neither would the rise in the ocean flood the entire world. I believe god only promised not to flood th entire world again not just parts of it. so im still not seeing the conection. And if he didn't say the entire world then he is a liar anyway so why would you trust god.
