If you can turn the earth into a snowball in a single year, then yes I would think we'd suffer a massive loss in population. But if you want to have a logical discussion, you need to ditch the hyperbole. There's no way our planet is going snowball lightning fast without some sort of catastrophic asteroid or volcanism event. As for which is more survivable, cold versus hot, all evidence points to life flourishing with warmer worldwide temperatures. What we don't know is the optimal temperature, after which increasing heat will begin to hamper life instead. But whatever, you're entitled to your opinion, and I thank you for sharing and defending your wrong opinion.

Maybe you want to spend a few months up in Iqaluit before you start spouting off about how all those examples are temperate. And FYI, even during the ice ages, there was plenty of tropical land not buried in snow. I think you'd be surprised at just how adaptable the human race is to new climates. The carboniferous would be no problem for us to adapt to. Big insects? Big deal. We've survived bears, wolves, tigers, lions, alligators, and more.

we have no guarantee we can survive in any climate other than the one we evolved in
Seriously? We have cultures living above the arctic circle, in the dense jungles of the rain forests, in the Sahara desert, at extreme altitudes in the Himalayas. In fact, we've demonstrated pretty well that we can survive in every climate that exists.

That would be far too logical of a solution...government regulations don't work like that.

Except that he is a creationist. He is claiming God created and guides evolution. Why would you say that he's not a creationist? He clearly states that our origins and evolution itself REQUIRE a divine creator. Is it because he isn't insisting on the world being 6000 years old? Was that the only flaw in the creationist theory? The original poster I replied to tried to compare skeptic beliefs to religious beliefs, but the guy he's supporting clearly isn't all that strong of a "grounded in science" facts guy, is he?

Okay, I get itthe pope is right, because he's pitching in his support for climate changedespite the fact that he's a creationist, so anyone defending him gets modded up, and anyone pointing out that he's more about belief than he is about science gets modded downso let's throw you SJW's a curve ball then. The pope is against gay marriage: http://www.breitbart.com/natio... So is he right or wrong on this one?

And in the end, the "solution" to climate change will be.taxes. And CO2 will continue to rise, and the planet will continue to not die. And the foolish citizens will continue to pay more and more for less and less, while Republicans and Democrats fundraise, live lavishly on taxpayer funded expense accounts, take bribes from lobbyists and foreign interests, hire friends and family, steer government contracts to organizations that will continue to line the politicians' pockets.

I know the Catholic Church's stance on evolution and creation. Francis himself has said "evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve". So yeah, evolution exists, but we were all created before we evolved.

If you think there's any difference between the Republicans and Democrats and the amount of disinformation they spew, then you're clearly brainwashed by one of them...

Wait...the pope is a creationist...

Lol, while that may be true, I would just like to know how an extension of a copyright would end up costing Canadians millions. Logically, it doesn't make any sense.

Very little is created in a vacuum, but so much could be created using synthesized vacuum! Vacuum Music

How? Although I think it's a stupid move, how would this cost Canadians millions? Are there recordings that we urgently need to make use of some time in the next few years that we'll suddenly have to buy? Please explain....

Good luck fixing it...all those that are in the game, don't want the game to change, and will do everything they can to prevent someone who wants to change it from getting in. Read this to see how far they'll go: District Attorney, Judge, and Police force persecuting political foes. Fascism is alive and well.

Um.That's how it used to be and nobody ever complained about it being too difficult. You spoiled kids with your easy expansion slots
