ha! I agree with him, oh and qoute of the week.

I am flattered, sir. Many thanks.

On another note, this isn't even debatable, it's stupid. It's like me saying China is overpopulated because the tectonic plates are squeezing together and making the country smaller.

uhh, it's actually nothing like that at all, but okay

This .

Well, if the Earth was growing im pretty sure we'd know about it.

Quote from Automaton

I thought it was common knowledge the Earth is expanding... They even taught it in our science class...

Your science class teacher was probably telling you that the universe is constantly expanding, not the earth.

But that's a whole new topic. Don't let me throw you guys off ya hear?

Actually, it IS true that the earth is expanding. As the outer core cools, it solidifies and that solidification causes expansion. However, that expansion is less than the degree to which water expands when frozen. It causes something like a few millimeters expansion every few hundred thousand years. Slow, lol. I could be wrong though.

No. I'm not stupid. He told us the evidence points towards the Earth expanding. He's only mentioned it once so I don't want to pursue it any further...

...where does all the ocean's water come from?

Comets I believe. That's the main theory for now anyway.

You're fucking stupid.

It's not exploding, just expanding (apparently). If it was going to explode I think people would kick up more of a fuss.

Yeah, sorry... I ment expanding

Ok. Like Ash said, it'd be to do with the changing temperatures of the earth. Except the rate they suggest is just plain wrong.

Al Gore is a fricken idiot! exactly what Zed said, the temperature rate is all wrong. We had to watch that video, oh i forget the name, about temperature changes. He said that it was a record in temperature in 1901, 1907, 1970, and some previous years (around 1901 and 1907 , and years around 1970). Yes 1970 was a pretty pollutedd year, and i dont know about the early 1900's, but it seems almost like a cycle, though most things occur over thousands of years. Al Gore says, well the Earth is getting so much hotter , in a couple of years the average temperature will be about 110 degrees. Now, what's with this cooling thing too? Were not increasing 1 degree every year either, maybe about 0.1 degree a year, maybe not even that.

but i don't see how the expansion of the earth has to do with the temperature.

EDIT: wait, nvm i understand, outer coor cooling, i didnt read ashes and thought it was the surface temperature

you're going off topic, stop it
