‘Global Warming is not a crisis’
Summary - This article talks about three experts from the “Intelligence Squared” program in London argue that Global warming is not a crisis, while three other argue against that motion. They had a debate with eachother, both parties making good points and affecting the audience because they voted before and after the debate and the results were different. At the end of the debate around 46% of the voters were for the proposition and around 42% were still opposed to it.
Response - I’m not an expert so of course I don’t really know what I’m talking about, btu if it was that simple that it just was not a crisis then why is the everyone making it out to more than it is, theres got to be something to it that’s making everyone worry so much.

Responses to your suggestions:
1. No. The are more expensive and burn out far too frequently.
2. OK. Tell that to Al Gore.
3. Only when it gets too hot.
4. Brave New World, anyone?
5. Why?
6. That I can agree with. If only for heating bills.
7. No.
8. No. The more animals I kill, the less methane is put into the atmosphere. Shoot a deer, save the planet.
9. No.
10. Energy cannot be created.
This is great for energy efficiency, but none of this can be linked to “global warming.”

I like your ten ways to reduce global warming. All of your ideas were really good except the one to dry your cloth on a line. No one would do that because the chance of something being stolen is to great.

Maybe you should explain in greater detail how each one of these suggestions will help global warming. For example, what should I replace my incandescent with? And how is taking a train better for the environment than a plane? How long should a take a shower; do you have any statistics or recommendations? How does my consumption of red meat affect the environment? Go into more detail all around, these are good tips, but I’m left with a lot of questions.
