Global Warming

Recommended Posts

The #1 talk in the world, should be how we save it, not destroy it. The world has lived in peace for billions of years, until the industrial revolution, when we started releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Imagine a car, the glass in the car takes in the suns heat, and traps it. Same with CO2.

The ice in glaciers traps ancient air, and we can measure the temp. And CO2 levels. CO2 is connected to the temp of earth, the both rise and fall together. It is worying that people still don't believe in climate change, it's happening right before our eyes, but we ignore it? Corruption in the world, leads to none believe. If you work for a coal industry making tons of money, and you see icebergs melting, coral reefs dying, mass extinctions happening, you won't care cause you want the money. When the world is on a verge of death, people will ask you, what were you doing when you knew our world was changing?

Nothing could be better evidence, than the Carmela's and pictures itself. Free on Netflix, watch it

What do you think about the facts of global warming? Is it possible to deny climate change when their are solid facts of temperatures rising and recorders highs, sea level risings, massive hurricanes, flooding, fires?

The number one argument by the anti-climate change side is that the earth has been doing this for years, fluctuating in temperature. We're just in a "hot spell" right now, and it will come to pass.

 

Which is an argument that is completely irrelevant considering the rate of changing temperatures. When comparing this past century with any actual fluctuation time from the Earth's past, we have a significant amount of time in the differences.

 


 

Of course, there's other arguments used by the other side (and will very likely cause a flame war hotter than the streets of Miami at the moment), but overall, it's a tad hard to deny absolutely everything that's going on right now. Especially because it's common knowledge that we are pumping a stupid amount of CO2 and CH4 into the atmosphere, along with other contaminants.

When a guy said, hey look, it's snowing outside, global warming is a hoax! It was winter, and if their was no snow then their is major problem we can't fix. His generation will have to take care of this earth, but so far, all I see are kids playing video game, movies, pranks. So I don't think this earth will last 100 years

Up until about 3 years ago, Central Florida (where I live) had been in a 10 year drought defined as "desert conditions." The aquifer started drying up. The water was tasting poorly and left lime residue in shower heads, faucets, etc. Lakes were drying up as well as streams and rivers.

 

Since the melting of the North Pole, our aquifer is filling up, lakes and streams are up against the seawalls where they belong...not 25 feet away. People who rented or owned space in lake marinas weren't able to use the boat docks or piers. It was all dry land. A nearby lake that's 10 miles across started drying up. It was all dry land and didn't start wading in it until you got half way across it. In the past 3 years, that lake is almost where it was 10 years ago....almost. 

 

Consider this: Up until 1988, we had the Monsoons every year. It would rain for a week at a time day and night. Not all downpours, but nice gentle rains. We were zoned as "sub-tropics." The Citrus Industry was booming. That's what kept Florida alive. Evaporation of water from the ground caused the rain. It was a natural cycle. 

 

Then in 1988 and 1989 we had two very harsh back to back freezes that wiped out the citrus. Grovers had to sell their groves to get out from under the cost of trying to plant all new trees that takes about 5 years to start producing effectively. 

 

Along comes the Developers. They bought the groves for pennies on the dollar....dirt cheap. The groves kept dying out because no one was trying to save them, not even the Developers. The land rotted for about 5 years. Then the urban sprawl started. Developers started building housing complexes faster than anyone could buy them. Whole housing communities stood vacant. Finally, the State had to put a moratorium on building until the houses already built had been sold. More people out of work. 

 

Then the weather started changing drastically. We no longer had the rains, the beloved monsoons. Why? Because houses, parking lots, sidewalks, etc. doesn't allow the water to evaporate at the rate it needs to rain. We can no longer produce our own rain. We have to wait until a sympathetic cloud passed by and dropped a few inches of rain...just enough to wet the surface of the ground, but not enough to soak down into the aquifer where it was needed.

 

We had to drink bottled water because the quality of the water from the aquifer was so poor. Where did the bottled water come from? Bottling companies that sprung up all over the place, taking water from our lakes and natural springs. (Where does "Spring Water" come from?) The old swimming hole I swam in as a kid is all dried up because of a well known water bottling company.

 

It's a vicious cycle. You talk about CO2 and CH4. I don't dispute that, but that isn't the only reason. Many factors have come into focus.

 

Two separate research centers studying the Arctic meltdown has estimated the meltdown will be complete in 2020. Global flooding will occur and the water will be contaminated.

 

Anyone have a spaceship?

Did you know that rising sea leaves will fuel hurricanes further inland and will be more destructive and violent?

We are taking all the resources out of our earth and burning them, this will cause a high pressure to rise on thesurface of earth, will we end up like wal e?

Really? Bring this debate here? Its all a tonne of rubbish really. Who melted the ice age eh? Sure as hell wasn't human CO2. :P

How old are you, 5 or 80? Cause any of those ages, your ignorant, or you don't care cause you got 20 years to live. No humans didn't melt the ice age, but the ozone layer formed, more CO2 was being released( animals) their weren't a lot of land plants to make oxygen, the earth insulated, and warmed up. Throughout the years scientists have studied the earths temperature and what causes it. They have found that CO2 Maches with the temperature. Temperature change is not a theory, it's a fact. And you can't deny our earth is changing rapidly, every since the industrial revolution. More humans release CO2, and people destroy Forrest's Edited by Agent101us

True and Sad, 

 

Every summer we are breaking heat records, stroms have been much more powerful, groundwater are drying.

 

Something is going on. And this something is the Climate Change. 

 

Grow plants, plants creates Oxidian from Carbon Dioxide.  

 

This is our last solution

We actually get the majority of our oxygen from phytoplankton,not plants.

Yes, but If we get rid of plants, what will we have left?our oxygen level will definently go down.

I know that.We definitely need to preserve as many plants as possible,but the common misconception that we get all our oxygen from plants is a dangerous one,since very few people are trying to save the phytoplankton.

Well, if shallow water heats up, fish will be packed in deeper cooler water and plankton will be eaten easier. I don't think many people care about plankton even though they are important

I read a theory, long time ago, before global warming became a big issue. This theory stated that we are the original Martians. Humans abused the ecosystem, a catastrophe happened (didn't mention what that was) that caused an apocalypse that destroyed the rest of the planet. Beings from other planets tried to educate us, but we didn't listen. To help the Human Race survive, they gathered a few good Human specimens and transported them to Earth for a fresh start, all the way back to square one, with nothing from the "old" life to help them. Though nothing was actually said in the article, the assumption, here, is that they were somehow given amnesia so they couldn't rely on the "old" ways and make the same mistakes. 

 

It went on to say that Adam and Eve were 2 of those survivors and focused in on them. What happened to the others? Apparently, they didn't survive for very long. Inability to adapt? Sickness/Disease from the Apocalypse? "Unfortunate" accidents? 

 

The Other Beings have been trying to guide us through each phase of evolution without being a direct part of it. They wanted us to learn by our own mistakes. The Other Beings are just there for guidance, to make sure we didn't destroy another planet. 

 

That's pretty much where the story ends. 

 

If there is even an inkling of truth here, then why is it happening again? Where are the Other Beings that are suppose to be guiding us? If we are to believe any reports of Alien sightings, then they are still around. Or are they? 

 

I'm not saying I believe any of this, nor am I saying I disbelieve it. I'm just giving "food for thought."
