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.

if you really want to save money then get a Instant water heater, gives you what ever temp you want in less than 8 seconds. and no take to loose heat.

TheComplex9 May 5, 2010 at 10:48 am

Jesus Christ… you’re thirteen. And you know so much about climate change that you feel you have proper information for a debate on it’s existence? Go back to playing with your Pokemon cards, kid.

TheComplex9 May 5, 2010 at 12:14 pm

Really? Are you a scientist that can prove that it’s wrong? Fucking moron. Done arguing with you, you’re as thick as a post and half as useful.

flamingfi1 May 5, 2010 at 12:26 pm

dude you need to think before u speek. the scientist follow on al gore’s theory which is wrong.

retard think

TheComplex9 May 5, 2010 at 1:06 pm

One person? How about more than 75% of the worlds leading scientists. Dude you’re a fucking idiot, you don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Go smoke some more pot you retard.

flamingfi1 May 5, 2010 at 1:28 pm

dude you believe everything you hear only one person said global warming exist and its al gore and that is not even true. remember one person dont believe everything you hear.

TheComplex9 May 5, 2010 at 1:37 pm

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 May 5, 2010 at 2:03 pm

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 May 5, 2010 at 2:09 pm

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.
