Earth is round, And is NOT the center of the universe.

F8L, I meant to say it that way, LOL.

So any change in the percentages of carbon will not have any drastic effects.

Wait a minute. How do you know the earth is round and not the centre of everything? You didn't accept the scientific community's position I hope. Those cosmologists are just full of BS.

Sorry for my stupid responses. I've always looked at issues through a political side and not scientific.

Well, now we're getting somewhere. You realise, don't you, how little politics have to do with reality?

...
Temperatures on the Antarctic peninsula have risen by 3C over the past 50 years to an average of -14.7C and rain is now far more common than snow.
And what kind of ripple effect will this have.... predators of Adelaide penguins include primarily leopard seals, but also sharks, birds (eat the eggs) and sea lions. And predators of leopard seals is primarily the polar bear but also orcas and sharks. Another strike against the polar bear. I dare say that if the rains continue and the penguins are extinct within a decade, the polar bears will not make it to the projected 2050 scientists have said so far.

When the sun sets, it appears more horizontal ("squished"); this is due to refraction from a curved (round) atmosphere. Also, the colors on the clouds change during sunset; which is also a result of refraction. It would be impossible for a flat atmosphere to create such an effect. Furthermore, when the sun rises and sets in the summer, it does not rise directly east and set directly west; it rises 23.5degrees north of east and sets 23.5degrees north of west. Opposite effect in winter. Coupling this with an observation of the amount of sunlight on the moon and the moons' rotation, it is obvious that the earth takes on the same shape. A flat planet would not have such rotation. Therefore, with all NASA evidence aside, we can come to our own conclusions that the earth is round.

It appears they got to you as well. 'hook, line and sinker. Clearly, when the vast majority of scientists say something is real, that doesn't make it so. Oh wait, it does.... my bad.
