Global Warming

I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this yet. o.o
What are your thoughts on global warming? Do you see it as a hoax? Political hullabaloo? Proof of man's destructive tendencies?

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Global warming is not a current event, it's a long battle with the world, that's why there are no threads for it.

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

I'll let everyone debate this for a little bit, then I can interject my own thoughts from the perspective the child of a meteorologist.

Well, I'd just like to point out the hole in the ozone layer... UV rays aren't exactly safe in large quantities...

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Skittles, What is global warming? Last year Texas recieved a lot of snow. Is that global warming? As far as I know, Global warming is when everything is hotter. THen why in the world would one place be colder than usual? Global warming is a hoax that makes for good movies.

There's a difference between climate and weather. The average temperate in most places is a few degrees hotter than it was years ago. Just because we have global warming or climate change, doesb't mean it's impossible for there to be snow in the winter.. had over 6 feet of snow here in NB, canada, last winter, but GENERALLY the temperature was definitely warmer than previous years. I'm not saying I believe this is global warming, I used to, fully, but although we ARE definitely harming earth with all of our harmful emissions, my social studies teacher had what I thought was an interesting theory, that we were still kind of finishing up the last ice age/cold cycle, and now it's naturally getting hotter, like it's done before. US being here tgough is definitely hurting not helping though.. don't think anybody can deny that.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Hello? Ozone? Anybody give a damn?

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Well, the world WILL end (eventually by a supernova) If we invest all the money on green things and it is a hoax, then we have lost (some) money, and if it is NOT a hoax we did right. If we didn't invest and it was a hoax ... Yay!, but if it wasn't a hoax.... End Of World... so, We have to invest otherwise its a gamble of death!

@Simon381 To my knowledge, there is no star close enough to us that is big enough to go supernova that could effect us for...millions to billions of years. o_O

@Tanya How do I know it's hurting the situation? Have you not seen the increased speed of glacial melting? Higher than average polar bear drownings? From what I've learned in school, there is little doubt that dumping hundreds of billions of tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere annually has been harmful.
Whether or not it ends up being proven that humans haven't significantly added to its effect, the idea that we need to put some serious backbone into finding alternative sources of fuel and energy to still be important.

Panzer, I guess not at the moment. I can't wait to hear what Hull has to say about this.

Nah, we can survive without the ozone layer. Just look at the Antarctic animals, such as penguins who have survived with the lack of ozone for eons.

Jtly all know, cows are more of a ozone killer than Humans. And what about volcanoes? Everyday they spew out billions of tons (how exactly do u measure tons of a gas? o-o) of carbon dioxide every day. Sure we help a little, but not enough to affect the overall scheme of things. If you look at Earth's history, you can see that the tempature fluctuates, from Ice Age to 130+ degree temps., and those studys that show that the Earths tempature was increacing since the 80s or whatever was a complete lie, it has accually gone down. Why in Az where i live not 5 yrs ago the temps were 113 average, this past summer, we rarely got over 110, that doesn't seem like a lot, but trust me, it is. And if there is a Global warming, ok, everybody buy an extra freezer and keep it open all the time oFTo. I don't believe in global warming, but if i did, i wouldnt believe in man-made global warming.

Are pools of blood forming in your hands whenever you cup them, only to coagulate into the form of a tiny baby with three heads?

Hull, the problem is, we're not exactly made like penguins.

We're not?

Na na na na na na na na na - BanMan!

@tanya102 It's called a joke, sheesh. o_O

I await Hull's next post. o3o

I won't have my computer back for a couple weeks, so I will just post a few brief comments from my phone about how the whole Anthropogenic Climate Change argument is a farce:

1. Temperature changes through eons come about 800 years BEFORE carbon dioxide increases. When the planet warms, the oceans release CO2 kind of like how a warmed soft drink fizzes more.

2. CO2 bonds with water vapor to form the weak carbonic acid. The surface of earth is is mainly alkalinic with substances like limestone. Humans cannot cause this balance to shift beyond the homeostatic equilibrium.

3. In the time that Earth warmed in the 1990s, so did the other neighboring planets.

4. When CO2 just 5% in experiments, plants flourish and grow roughly twice the size. Thus, they keep the balance in check.

I'll go into more detail later.

Well done Dan!That's alot of info.You completed my homework

Im more drunk than you think I am....DUDE IMA APPLE!!!:3

Typo in #4: ... When CO2 is INCREASED just 5%...

It burrrnnnnssss.
Of course some sci-fi guy invented it and scientist ate it.

The distinguished Tanya102 spake:

Hull, so we won't die anytime soon because of "global warming"?

Who's to say that a warmer planet isn't better for thriving life? All these politicians scare people onto believing that 0.5 degrees C warmer would be so awful. What brings them to that conclusion?

Maybe because many politicians are full of hot air already?
