Yes, they could defeat the US on their home soil (especially with the US military spread so thin), but then it would remain a localized conflict and not escalate to a World War.
Yes, I meant that Iran/Syria could not sucessfully invade the US.

It depends on what the US objective is. They cannot defeat the US, and no, they don't have the "resources" to do so. Can the US occupy Iran? No, likely not, but they have enough air power (alone) to cripple them, or "defeat" them regardless...

Thats true! But if the U.S. goes in acting like they are in Iraq then the U.S. may not be able to cripple them, but slowly take over but at a very large price. This shouldnt be for a long time away from now though!

If you have taken an environmental or biology class, the rising temperatures should be no surprise to you. There is no way to fix the heat wave, even if everybody got rid of everything that caused the rising in temperature, the temperature would still rise for about thirty years then slightly cool back down. Most evidence (such as fossils, materials found in glaciers, geologic patterns) suggest that the earth has naturally gone up and down in temperature. In my opinion, global warming is natural. Humans simply make the process occur faster with CFCs, automobiles, farming cattle and other livestock, etc.
Yes, we have a heat wave, but it's summer, it usually happens at one point. Just stay next to a fan.

· The melting ice caps. The world needs more beaches, what better way than getting more ocean.
· The loss of the ozone layer. Evolutions been lazy since people took over the earth and began saving everyone from everything. A nice bout of star-born radiation should put an timely end to that and get us back on track to survival of the fittest. Take that fatties.

Ah, you don't believe that global warming is caused by the increased CO[sub]2[/sub]?
Wrong again. Throughout the history of the planet, global CO[sub]2[/sub] levels have been linked to global temperature.
QUOTE(TERRAINFIGHTER @ Jul 17 2006, 09:13 AM)
Like I said before, there's almost no proof to back it up since most the proof goes against itself 
yes that makes the earth warmer, but it also makes the ozone layer stronger over time, reducing the heat flow to the earth.
just so you realize, a simple volcano does more damage than most the U.S. does, but the ozone layer quickly benifits from it and becomes stronger because of it, so it would probably take alot of damage to cause any significant problems
for those of you saying it will be the destruction of the earth, the entire earth benefits from the heat unlike coldness
the heat will help us, not destroy us.
unless it heats up 30 degrees in less than a month, I doubt global heating will effect us, unlike pollution.

Again, the pollution drastically increases global warming.
True, magmatic CO[sub]2[/sub] emissions are extreme. But these have occurred often over the history of the earth, and there are many natural ways of lowering atmospheric CO[sub]2[/sub]. The huge addition of human pollution has thrown off the balance.
Also, you clearly need to learn what catastrophic events could result from increased temperatures. Already, we've seen a huge increase in severe storms such as hurricanes. Furthermore, if all the planetary ice melted, the oceans would rise by 100 feet. Hundreds of millions of people would be displaced. Think about the problems a few million refugees cause when they flee battle-torn countries. Think about how hard it is to supply them with food and shelter. Now imagine that, a hundred or more times bigger.

-It will eventually get uncomfortably hot, even for you.
-See above. Hundred of millions of people would be displaced. Maybe you don't have a house that would be destroyed, but many others do. Are you that heartless? Furthermore, the melting of the icecaps would drastically shift the oceanic salinity, possibly shutting down the ocean conveyor belts. Such an occurrence would cause immediate and drastic climate change, more likely sending the world back into an ice age for a few thousand years.
-A drastic increase in UV radiation would not thin out the the human race, it would cause its extinction. Humans and most other terrestrial K-strategists living would be wiped out. Fortunately, the United States has already taken many steps to eliminate the destruction of the ozone layer, such as banning CFCs (cholorofluorocarbons), and the ozone layer is slowly beginning to mend.
Global warming exists.
Global warming, if allowed to continue unchecked, will cause catastrophic damage.

The earth is built for this kind of changes and stuff, it will all even out.
global flooding - the earth once had all that extra water and it didn't hurt it, it simply decreased the land area.
solution for flooding big areas - dredging, for over 15 years now the U.S. has been using dredgers to expand the ammount of land, and I'm sure they would rise to the occasion to start alot more companies to fix up the land.
In case you never heard of dredging before, it's the process of moving the ocean-bottom sand/dirt to land to make islands or expand the lands.
increased temperature - The earth was once very hot and a tropical desert like planet, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt it to go back that way.
CO[sub]2[/sub] levels making the earth hotter - this is also caused by volcanoes and stuff, it will help make the ozone layer thicker and stronger over time cutting off this extra heat.
There is however a chance that the ozone layer will get too thick and the CO[sub]2[/sub] levels will get too low, causing another ice age which will thin out the ozone layer again and balance it out.

Oh, perhaps you misunderstand. Global warming will not wipe out all life on Earth. Not even close.
Global flooding wouldn't destroy the planet, but it would displace hundreds of millions of people. What are you going to do with those people? They need shelter and food. Do you have any clue how hard it is to get food to that many people?
There is no way we could effectively dredge to make up for lost land area; there would be too much. Furthermore, dredged land is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Oh, it wouldn't hurt life in general, but do you think humans could adapt that fast? The hotter it gets, the more people will use air conditioning, and the more pollutants go into the atmosphere. If pollution continues, then the temperature can continue to rise. Look at Venus. That is an extreme example of what could happen.
Oh, nature will balance it out, and fairly quickly on a geological timescale. If the earth becomes extremely hot, perhaps 25 to 100 thousand years later it will return back towards normal. To humans, however, 25,000 years is a long time. We might not become extinct, but we would be largely killed off.
Global warming isn't as bad as a full-scale nuclear war, but it will certainly displace and/or kill billions of people if it continues unchecked.
