You do know that the majority of the scientific world stands together on the issue of global climate change, right? A few crazies here and there doesn't change that.

And stop ****ing with ours.

We should be learning how to prevent it not how to describe it.

I feel like there's actually been a lot of that in the last couple of years (at least in the American media), especially since "An Inconvenient Truth" came out. It's not as prevalent of a topic as it once was, but that effort to educate the public still exists.

DEATH. Ive been owned. They still make valid points though Have you noticed how on the graph you posted the temperature changes have been occurring in the same interval. And shouldnt the earth's temperature skyrocket just like the level of CO2 if the two were directly proportional? if you studied the graph closely you notice that they really aren't

No one is denying that the planets temperature fluctuates naturally but you also can't deny that this time the numbers are going up faster and higher. That isn't normal.

It is also pretty delusional to think that more than 6 billion humans wouldn't have a huge impact on the planet. It is over-populated as it is and with the life of luxury the western world lives of course there will be consequences.

But at least you can admit when you are out of your depth

People forget that a huge part of Global Warming is the massive ****ing hole in the Ozone level which is by no means natural and is doing serious damage.

Thanks to chloroflurocarbons the atmosphere is pretty much ****ed.

I think those are actually two different and mostly unrelated issues. On the one hand, when CFCs get into air, they deplete the ozone layer, which reduces our protection from UV rays. On the other hand, gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen (which have increasingly been emitted by humans since the Industrial Revolution) get trapped in our lower atmosphere, heating the Earth's surface.

It's a huge part of the issue that is climate change.

It's something people forget about. Global warming includes many things (if you take the media definition of it) and sometimes people need reminded that it isn't purely CO2 and Methane levels.

I know exactly what the process is, as I said, I study Environmental Biology and Chemistry.

They're not. The current peak is not as high as the previous ones. If the temperature steadies then that would be a problem. But it looks like it is on the decrease again, which seems to be natural trend that happens every 100000 years. Therefore, you can't really associate the increase of CO2 level with global warming.

I'm not saying that humans do not impact the planet. It is clear that natural resources are becoming scarce and pollution is present. But we're talking about global warming though.

Anyways, I take back the uneducated comment, since you are intelligent. I didn't mean to offend you, it's just my diva attitude

[Queen Bea.]

Uh, did you actually look at this?



The CO2 is almost double the previous peaks!

Yes, they're both big issues, but they're not one and the same. People often get confused and include the depletion of the ozone layer as either a cause or an effect of global warming. In reality, these two environmental crises are mostly unrelated to each other.

But both lead ultimately to the same thing.

I am not confused, I was simplifying it for others.

I was talking about the temperature. Global warming = temperature not CO2 level

Something I'm not worried about. I think it's exaggerated to make it seem worse than it is (*cough cough* AL GORE). I really don't think there is much we can do about it.

AL GORE is the biggest idiot I've seen

We created this problem, so just stop burning fossil fuels and start using wind power or solar panels for electricity and we can definitely save this world

[KT&T]

You guys and girls already said what I was going to say and know. haha
I remember watching An Inconvenient Truth and has little tears in my eyes. Much of our Global Warming is also resulted from the exponential growth of the human population. People are living longer than before due to advancement in medicine and technology. Last two centuries, especially the last century, there have been so many children born onto this green earth. Now the most populated countries are issuing rules and regulation to control population which is the appropriate move in the right direction.

Besides the advice of more carpooling, use of public transit, vacation less or vacation local, recycle often, all the old advices in the book that are publicized by the media and your friends.

I agree with the fluctuation and with bea that we are changing the environment at such a rapid rate and no matter there will be people who argue. But I think that there have been a lot of affirmative actions initiated by our society.

It was going to happen either way. We shouldn't feel sorry for it happening. Let the government give us all wind power and solar panels if its such a big deal.

Global warming is pretty much a fact amongst the scientific community. The climate is changing and it is changing fast.

Greenland disagrees.
