This alone will not escalate into World War 3, but this in combination with other conflict might. Think of other situations in the world, like North Korea.

Edit: D'OH.

Woah.

Hi.

Remember, Dema for Admin!!!

Hi.

Remember to vote Dema for Admin!!

Whoa.

I think you mean WW3

North Korea does not have the support of other counties i do not think it can become ww3

Global warming is the cause and we should help fix the problem

yes

Have you ever sold someone out?

This issue might've been spotted quite a few months ago, but I read time magazine and it said many ice caps might be melted by 2050! I think global warming should be stopped by our contribution. Global Warming's getting much more servere and this worries me a bit. What about you?

You used to be who?

Thunderstorms make it worse, they don't cool it down; atleast in my area. Humidity is worse than dry heat, espeically since I live in a swampy area.

Just had to add that fact, as it bugged me a little.

Many people don't believe global warming is happening (mostly Republicans). I personally, do believe in global warming. Mostly because of what the small products like spray canisters did to the ozone layer; there are three factors that can contribute to this theory of global warming.

1. There are more people on this Earth than ever before which means more Co2 being released

2. Industry, cars, pollution etc...

3.Over thousands of years we have been cutting down forests, rainforests, jungles, etc... Which means even more Co2 being left out in the atmosphere, because there is not enough vegetation to take it all.

I live in Massachussetts and it really sucks right now. I was in my pool for hours earlier but even the pool water has gotten up to 86 degrees. It's supposed to be 95 tomorrow.

I think it is a small factor, which shouldn't effect the earth too much


Heres a few reasons why I don't think it's much of a problem:

1. there's almost absolutely no proof of it, almost everything used as a claim to be because of it is natural cycles

2. it's part of the earths cycle, as it heats up the ice caps will melt cooling off the earth and raising the ocean level back to normal

3. The earth was once very hot, it was also once very cold, right now it's kind've in the middle so if it changes at all people complain

4. after the earth heats up it will start to cool off, and then global freezing will be the new issue untill it heats up again

5. Doesn't anyone realize that wildlife will adjust? the earth was once really cold, so we developed thicker skins, I assume we can adjust to the heat as well, along with the plants that will become more tropical and the fruit will change over years.

the heat isn't the problem for us, the problem is the pollution.

ADDITION: never trust Time magazine, they twist everything around and try to make reports more interresting

That is a rather one-sided comment

I think the reason is because of a recent storm we had,
it temporarily changed the wind pattern cutting off most the cool air to the U.S.

How should this effect us?
The ocean is used to cool off the air, which is in turn used to spread throughout the planet,
since the wind isn't going this way the area can't cool off and will continue to heat up untill the wind pattern becomes normal.


I'd be worried about what will happen when it goes back to normal though, since that would cause some bad storms

Yeah, it sucks in Massachusetts, really hot.

It's the humidity that kills me though, I can't stand it. But this is normal for New England.

Um, if the US sends soldiers into Lebanon, it'd be to help the Lebanese if anything... although that won't happen either way... Israel doesn't need military help from the US, not against the Lebanese anyway

This is a little idea that has been biting at me for awhile. I brought it up in a conversation with Voyager, and I've formed my ideas a bit better from that.

Well, here is my conjecture:

People are variously born with talents, skills, abilities, and traits, and throughout their lives interact with the world through these various attributes, gaining their experience of the world. These things, skills, traits, and experiences make up the sum of their consciousness, and define them from all other people.

What I've wondered is what defines me from someone else, how was I born as I am, what divides me from being born as another person.

My first question is this: If people are variously affected by their experiences, if an experience in a persons live was changed, would that create an entirely different consciousness which was now them, and cause the former entity to cease to exist, or does it merely change the prexisting consciousness into a slighty different from?

My question requires an example. Consider there are two twins. For reasons of hypothetical conjecture, they are two entities that are exactly the same (besides occupying slightly different places in space at all times), and their consciousnesses are exactly the same. Are they still different beings (for occupying different places in space), or do they qualify as one being, as their two thought processes work exactly the same, all their behavior is coordinated as if one being (IE, their movements and actions exactly mirror each other).

I suppose that two beings exactly alike, placed in our world, are immediately seperated by viewing the same scene at very slightly different angles, thus changing their interpretation so slightly as to make them individual beings. The other possibility is that the only way to make a perfect duplicate of an entity is for it to occupy the exact same position in space and time, thus merging the two back into one.

Even if the US gets involved, I don't think that it could escalate to WW3. Iran and Syria don't have the resources to engage the US, and if they did, it would certainly provoke action from other nations.

At the worst, I think there will be more rocket attacks against Isreal, and maybe attacks on the helicopters ferrying US citizens out of Lebanon.
