CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't have malice against Bush. In fact, although his style is without substance, I find it rather endearing.
What I don't agree with, are his policies. Bush set a bad example for other nations by not agreeing with the Kyoto protocol.

It is a fact that the Earth is warming up, but why it is, is just a theory. One is that since every 14,000 years or so the Earth changes its spin, thus leaving itself without a magnetic field for a few years or so, which makes the atmosphere almost disappear (become just as thin as Mars') due to solar winds which are otherwised blocked by the magnetic field, and the reason that the Earth is getting hotter is that its magnetic spin is about to reach 0 in a thousand years or so. That theory I'm not so sure of, but the greenhouse effect is definitely adding to the heat, though isn't the prime cause of it. The Earth is always in a state of an ice age. We are inbetween two such ice ages, the last one being the longest one ever. The change in climate is supposedly due to the sun's output of temperature increasing and decreasing during these periods. So in that case it's a natural phenomena.

i think the reason the earth is warming up is because all the green house gas that comes from people driving cars too much. The reason people drive so much is because we are getting more and more centered on ourselves and don't think about the greater good. Why is that do you think? Because people are forgetting the message of Jesus Christ and getting more concerned about themselves than everybody together.

The amount of "drives" that people make is almost to the point of being vastly unregulated these days, especially in America. At least in London, the government has stepped in and introduced the congestion charge so that people, especially from outside London, would not be tempted to drive into London. The real problem is that the world population is going from bad to worse. If we get a grip on this first then trying to regulate car usage etc would be more manageable.
There are a lot of people in the Western world who like to drive cars and not use public transport because for selfish reasons. Now the further danger comes when the ever growing third world population in big countries like China and India continue emulating this example. We in the West have to start first and set a good example, we can do this by taking public transport more and use our cars less. But it may already be too late.

What's interesting to me is that he claimed that the Kyoto protocol would damage the American economy. Funny how he's concerned about the economy with the Kyoto protocol but seems to overlook it when deficit spending.
