antonkr Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 the problem with global warming is that nobody does care.. they all say,give it another 100 years,by then i'll be dead and we will be technologically advanced enough to fix it.. then 100 years down the line..some bloke..probally of the same ancestory says " give it another 100 years" It's very real.. unless you have another excuse for entire glaciers disappearing..oh and the water mass expanding..entire coastlines being swallowed up.. one i live near on that note,mountainous landscapes being turned into barren valleys..but it's ok cause we can always leave it to our childrens children to take care of it for us.. "why do today what someone else can do tommorow"... /lamereal global worming is because 99.9 procent cares. i am 0.1 procent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katklaw Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Have you ever thought that what is happening to the world may be a great cycle that occurs maybe once in a million years or so. Something that may be impossible for our scientists to predict because we don't live that long or hasn't been recorded in our short human history. I mean many theorys are just that theory's or educated guesses in relation to the data they have at hand. There is evidence to support the fact that the magnetic field of the earth changes every 10 odd million years and actually switches polar fields and we may be currently in the throes of one of these changes and that is what is causing these problems. there is a paper on this theory floating around with a Nat Geo documentary I watched.(One theory). Another is that a great current in the ocean has changed its course and is heating every thing up (this particular theory has some data to support it). It may just be us humans doing it as well, but in the scheme of the life of the entire planet its more likely Humans will destroy themselves and the earth will revert back to normal in about 200000 years or less. They estimate that's what it took when a great asteroid incinerated part of the world. there was poisons of every sort all over the world much worse than what we have done to date, and the earth reverted back to normal. These are just some of the other theory's out there. The fact is that the polar caps are melting and the ozone hole is still there the seas are nearly devoid of fish. I'm sure we could help to slow it down some with cars that drive on water fuel ( yes that is very possible), wind farms, tidal turbines, neutralizing poisonous industrial waste, solar power, fish farms, eating mung beans - yes that should help some oh and planting heaps more forests would also be helpful.

evilkoal Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 LMFAO!!! hasnt anyone ever considered that it might be all the freaking nukes that our governments have detonated miles up in the sky? (but naww, nukes dont punch holes in the atmosphere! it is hairspray cans and cowshit :wallbash: ) people need to stop coming up with dumb-ass excuses, and point the finger at the jerkoffs that deserve it.

PureSnipe Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Okay. There is no question as to there being climate change. The question is, what's causing it? Yes. Humans are contributing to the change. Better or worse. What's to say we aren't actually INHIBITING the natural process here? I'd like to see some historical facts given from over the course of this planet's existence to back your answer. (That, or the name and telephone number of which psychic you contacted.)There isn't enough of that kind of legitimate data. I *highly* doubt that we have as detailed records of our climate changes as we do now that are older than about fifty years. There's no way to prove that ten million years ago, if and when the poles changed, the same thing didn't happen. We're in the boat of "something's happening, but who's to blame? and how drastic should our actions be?" If your car starts to drift off of the road due to whatever reason, you have to correct. Over-correct, and you're just as screwed, if not worse than as if you did nothing at all. Don't correct. Hit a tree. Over-correct, flip the car, cause it to roll, THEN hit the tree. Some of these ideas proposed are good - in theory. Impractical to ban car travel if there's only the operator. You'd lose the commercial trucking industry. Allow it for them, then what about the commuters going to work? They're contributing to the economy and consumer base.(I'm just touching on one here. You can punch simple holes in most all suggestions proposed) We're best off in doing what we can. NOT being drastic. Turn the lights off when you leave a room. Do as much as you can when you go out in your car. Don't take more cars somewhere than you have to. Recycle what you can. I know I do, or at least attempt to do, all of these things. The key here is efficiency, not overhaul. Not yet. Not until we know FOR SURE what is going on and to what the effect it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilkoal Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 its cow farts!!! it has to be! there is no other reasonable explanation at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureSnipe Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 its cow farts!!! As stupid as this answer may sound, it's halfway true. Animal farms account for an extremely large portion of the greenhouse gas emissions... Not stating a figure since I can't remember exactly. A quick google search could reveal the answer.

(but naww, nukes dont punch holes in the atmosphere!Related: I saw someone a while back arguing that an earthquake which had recently happened was the result of drilling for oil and thus depriving the tectonic plates of lubrication. I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry at incidents like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way to prove that ten million years ago, if and when the poles changed, the same thing didn't happen. We only have detailed temperature reports for the last 150 years or so. That's less than 1% of 1% of this planet's existance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which I don't have time to do right now) you arent serious are you?cows producing enough gas to affect our atmostphere is bullshit (pun intended.) there are tons of cows, but then why wouldnt it be the millions of people farting every day for the at least 50 years that they might be alive? what about elephants? ducks? dogs? cats? people that WONT cope with reality will always have someone else to blame for their problems. this is only one example of the many things that humanity has done and denies wholeheartedly.
