Will the Conservatives please stand up?!
 

Hey I am new here! I am writing an extended definition essay on global warming... I need a conservatives definition of "Global Warming" so if any one can help it would be MUCH appreciated... I'll give anyone with a good definition a COOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!! :D

Global Warming: Democrats definition - The effects of greenhouse gases such as fossil fuel emmissions on the Earth's atomosphere as well the effects the resultant atmospheric changes has on all life forms.

Global Warming: Republican definition - God huggin' us closer.

love doing other people's homework. love it.

do you mean Conservationist?

The temperature of the earth increasing. Based upon what is where the debate comes in.

You said it! Whether liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, that's one thing everybody on the internet agrees about: we don't do homework for people.

(Well, unless you're offering to pay. Then it's considered outsourcing.)

Anyway, I don't think it's a lazy student. I call troll. Anybody who really wanted a conservative perspective on global warming could get one in about half the time it takes to register a Cellar account.

Be nice, please, she came here at my suggestion. She posted over at Tribalectic, a body piercing board, and I'm thinking . . . there aren't too many conservatives over there, so I thought maybe someone here might be able to help her.

Certainly not me.

Besides, what she is doing is doing her homework. She is attempting to find out what conservatives think about this issue. What is the conservative position?

Hallo and welcome to the Cellar!

I think I would start with looking for debates with or responses to Dole; his opponents are going to be stating the opposite position.

Dole?

Yeah, the pineapple guy... he loves global warming, it's good for his crops. :haha:

gore! darnit. I don't know why I always get that confused in my mind.

Because they're both idiots.

that was funny. i lol'ed

Wait a minute. What if I'm not a conservative? Does this mean I must stay seated? For all eternity? Crap!

The whole (green)house(effect) of cards is based on a data error.

No such thing.

ummmm...well i have been researching for the past week and i needed peoples opinions.... so sorry if its a bother but i dont want you to do my homework...i just wanted opinions... usually people love giving their opinions.... huh... WTF?!
thanks to those who weren't trying to be smart ass's lol:p

Death - (lol) please elaborate on exactly what you want. THe people here will certainly help.

I just want to know how a conservative would define global warming... i know how a liberal defines it... i have managed to piece together somewhat of one...

ok thanks a lot sorry if I was a pain in the butt!!! :P

The term attached to the notion that the Earth’s temperature is increasing due to the greenhouse effect.

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know watcha think!!!!!!:) :)

You found what now?

I think he's saying that

is the "conservative position" on global warming. Thus showing that it doesn't matter if we do his homework for him or not, he's still gonna end up working at the Dairy Queen.

I love Blizzards.

I love pineapple!

OK that is f****ing it! First of all I am a FEMALE! Second I take my education damn seriously! I already work 2 jobs and neither of them consist of anything related to a fast food restaurant! I needed opinions to study thank you very much so you can F**** off!:mad2:

well, I warned her. sorry, Ms. Deathlysilence.

Guess it's not too good an idea to refer people here . . .I should have known better, but I feel bad.

Oh, feel free to refer people here, only please ask them try and not to make every damn post sound like an lolcatz.

Aw, look. I'm not suggesting you're a slacker. But seriously, you can't see that

is a completely useless statement? You will fail your paper if you present that as the conservative position on global warming. The greenhouse effect is a direct synonym for global warming. I'm guessing you got that definition from someone on another messageboard, which is why it's not a good idea to research your papers on messageboards.

Here's a hint: your teacher is looking for you to talk about the different ideas that liberals and conservatives have about what is causing global warming.

I have already discussed the causes... i just needed a short addition to generalize a conservative definition, then i elaborated.

Did you at least mention the CO2 emitted from things such as air conditioners and the like? That might have a lil something to do with what you are talking about.

Jim - eh hem JIM! you effin slacker - How is it that you didn't submit a quiz to deathlysilent(ce) C'mon man, vacation is OVAHHHHHHH!

Global warming is an observed phenomenon.

The causes are being debated.
One camp says it's man made.
One camp says it's a natural phenomenon..
One camp says it natural but man is accelerating it.

The end effect is being debated.
One camp predicts terrible consequences.
One camp predicts changes, but not disastrous effects.

What we can do about it is being debated.
One camp says we must act decisively and swiftly to avoid disaster.
One camp says it's too late, the die is cast.
One camp says we can only affect the outcome slightly.

If you label any of the aforementioned camps, as conservative or liberal... you fail.

Excellent xob! Now do the same for that global cooling issue we were having in the 70's.

I think we know all we need to know about miss DQ, thanks.

Well, the Original Farmer's Almanac, not to be confused with that upstart Farmer's Almanac that came along in 1815ish, still believes we're entering a cooling cycle. It remains to be seen if man can temper that with our contributions.

Is this about climate change or the financial crisis?

Yup,Mentioned about the CO2 emissions! I used vehicles as an example. I gave the dictionary definition of global warming, a conservative definition, a liberal definition, my opinion, and I am planning to conclude by asking the reader what meaning they attach to global warming. Encouraging them to search out what they think it means. Because everyone views it a bit differently! Oh and the Miss DQ commits; laugh it up fuzzballs!

I would love to read what your two definitions are. Please post them.

Did you discuss the warming trends on Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Triton etc.. or do they not fit the 'global' definition?

Ding!!!!

:notworthy

I saw a show the other night about how some people are proposing to build a human base on mars, and releasing a shitload of freon and methane, to see if Mars can develop an atmosphere similar to Earth. :eek:

Are you apologising because you didn't give her the proper information?
For the record I had no issue with DS's post - I didn't reply because I can in no way call myself a conservative. I do have an issue with the fact she's telling people to fuck off within a few posts though. It's the old tavern analogy again - I'm sorry she came into my favourite space and told people I like to fuck off.

Ok I will post them later...and telling people to F*** off I am sorry for! I shouldn't have but I have a short temper lol!

Are you related to me? ;)

Welcome to the cellar, DeathlySilence123!

Welcome deathly silence, posting an apology is very good manners and very decent. In return I am sorry if I was a bit stuffy.

tff - you beat me to it!

Yes, I warned her . . . but only after the fact. whoops! I'd forgotten how it felt to be a noob here.

Looks like she may have the stones for her after all, yay! :)

It's sometimes a baptism of fire. But some of our most worthy posters have come through it [tips hat]

Quite possibly LOL :3eye:

If you don't love this idea, you probably haven't read Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles.

Aww you weren't! But it is well! So no harsh feelings! :D

Is that where they get this stupid shit from? :rolleyes:

Because they are both impotent?:D

I disclaim any personal knowledge of that fact!

"Strategic posturing for nuclear winter."

If the planet warms up enough, we can set off a few conveniently placed nukes to cool things down again (pursuant to the Weapons of Mass Salvation Doctrine). Shhhhh! Tippy Top Secret.

NoBoxes, you're scaring me.
