We all can help save the world by not littering, smoking as much and cut down on the fuel, also by using the 3 r's (reduce, reuse, and recycle.) Tell people all around you, about this, the world is slowly dying according to a lot of scientests, and teachers. I also think thats true

quote:

and actually scientists don't actually agree on this issue

Interestingly enough, the majority of scientists do agree. The dissenters are, more often than not, being paid by big companies to cast doubt on global warming. They're also a rather small minority.

And I agree that there need to be reasons, which is why reputable scientists provide evidence in support of global warming for anyone to see. The dissenters, on the other hand, are the ones who use their credibility as scientists to sway people in lieu of evidence.

Because they follow the scientific method. Science attempts to provide proof that something was, is, and/or always will be true through hypotheses and experiments. If that's not law, I don't know what is. Of course, that's not to say questioning is wrong, but it's generally hard to question something backed up by scientific evidence.

I understand what you're saying clpo, and I do agree with it in part. All I'm saying, are we going to blindly follow everything that a scientist says (and actually scientists don't actually agree on this issue). It'd be stronger persuasion to give reasons, not just "the scientists said so, therefore we follow." And what about the teachers? What's up with that. That's an authority that has nothing to do with anything.

How can a hunk of rock die?

It's not so much the hunk of rock dying as it is the things on it.

Yes, we should all do our part to save the world and not litter, but the world isn't "Dying." How can a hunk of rock die?

Okay, there are things that we need to do better for our world. I admit it.

But I think you need a stronger argument than that. I mean no disrespect to scientists and teachers. Heck, I come from a very long line of nothing but scientists and teachers. But when did they become the kings/queens of the world and what they say is law?

I thought the three Rs stood for Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate.

But yes, you're right, but you might want to take a more offensive stance than that. Host a street clean up. Have teams go up and down streets in your area, picking up trash.

all those thing are better for the environment, but i hardly believe the world is "dying"

very true : ) and yes by being the difference we will make a difference ; )
hey i just was wondering.... how did you post your thing in the community board?
thanks
