"Uranium-lead is one of the oldest and most refined radiometric dating schemes, with a routine age range of about 1 million years to over 4.5 billion years, and with routine precisions in the 0.1- 1 percent range."

Last I checked, 99% of 1 million was far over 6,000 years.

im sorry but wikipedia isnt a reliable source. people can edit it to say whatever they like. im not taking sides but im pointing out that wikipedia cant be used as a site to use for facts.

Re: Global Warming:Real or Fake?

You think someone is going to go and screw up information about Uranium-lead dating when a large majority of people haven't even heard of it?

Besides, they keep track of changes in articles.

The Scientists John Gribbin. A man called Lord Kelvin inferred the age of the earth from principles of thermodynamics by measuring the rate at which a hot cannonball cooled and extrapolating from it. Geologists later found that the presence of radioactive materials would provide a source of heat great enough to make the rate of the earth's cooling much, much slower.

Good age of the earth article.

Actually, this site is more or less a creationists nightmare but anyway..

Government propaganda. Exactly what it is.

What what is? Global warming or Earth Dating methods? Either way you'd have a very hard time showing either to be the case.

how can it be fake? the proof is everyware. I think we can stop it if the govenmet takes action.

Who is 'we'? Which government? Do you think if laws are enacted in one country they will have any measurable effect at all globally?

thats exactly what i think

but it has been proven to be true. Lets just hope we die before anyting really drastic happens.

'we' would be the citizens and inhabitants of the world as it is now. As for those laws-- if there were a law enacted in China forbidding the creation and purchasing of cars, then the world would be able to take a deep breath knowing that it would be taking in so many fewer horrible greenhouse gasses. Anyway, as others have already said, look around you. Evidence is everywhere, knowledge is becoming very common, and the non-believers are being rooted out and proven wrong. Global warming is soon to become the next human rights movement on a global scale (I say this in the way that it will become a popular belief that it should be ended) That's my two cents on the matter, moving on to the general forum section

Let me put it this way then: Even if it is genuine (which I believe) Even if it is -mostly- caused by humans (which I don't believe) you are being completely and utterly unrealistic if you think that some massive global effort will even be suggested, let alone carried out.

Well are you saying that we shouldn't do anything about our world and just let what ever happen to the world happen? Do you honestly believe that humans could not have any effect on aiding the global warming issue if it really is an issue to be concerned with or mentioned? I'm just asking because I'm not too sure about this topic to be honest.

Re: Global Warming:Real or Fake?

There's actually the possibility that government action would do much more harm than good, even with something such as this.

Re: Global Warming:Real or Fake?

given humanity's extremely high opinion of itself, it would almost certainly come up with some hairball scheme to "fix" the problem that could have catastophic consequences, since while we do have some understanding of the issue, and how our biosphere is functioning, it wasn't that long ago that someone thought it would be smart to test a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere, which could well have destroyed us all.
