Global warming is a reality. It's was foretold many thousands of years ago in writings of antiquities...the Bible. I suspect that a lot of the attendees of TED, which I thoroughly enjoyed mind you, do not ascribe to the belief in a Creator of all there is and all there ever could be. Science, which in and of itself is a religion has stated that certain events in the writings of the Torah and the Bible where myths <--- Notice I used past tense. Science has proven that events they thought were myths have been proven not to be myths, yet! we have not heard of these discoveries in mainstream media. I don't know you so I do not know your belief structure but let's surmise for the sake of argument that God is. Then it stands to reason that the question has to be asked why hasn't the mainstream media not made those facts known or should I ask "who" is preventing these facts from being broadcast to the public. Obviously it would be amazing news! God told us through his writings that we call the Torah and the Bible that he used men to write that the Earth was destroyed once by water and the next time it would be fire. What does that mean?...fire! . Could it mean that the Earth progressively gets warm until there is spontaneous combustion or, maybe a nuclear war, or maybe an asteroid. Who cares how it happens . The point is we're not going to stop it...period! You are correct and I read about the our Planet ...the whole thing warming up and expanding when I was reading about it either in National Geographic or Popular Science when I was waiting to see the V.A Hospital waiting to see the Doctor in 1972. Do you think anybody paid attention....no! So what makes you think they will now...oh ya , I forgot ! because of "Carbon Credits" where the rich will be able to use more carbon producing products then the middle income and poor because they'll be able to by more Carbon Credits. We'll see rich people becoming "Super Rich" if Carbon Credits ever take hold. It's another form of money. The last thing I'll touch on is that no one at TED talked about how are Psychopaths going to be rooted out to prevent them from ruining the strides to bring socioeconomic classes into parity? That rhetorical because as long a s few men are running the show there will never be parity. There can only be a dictatorship or fascism. The long and short of it is...Your belief is correct! Global warming is a reality and there isn't a dang thing anybody can do about it. It's the "Globe" unless you know of a way to cool of the Core of the Earth.

There is no GOD, and you're a moron.

Uhhh, no they're not.
