Is global warming for real?

[zephyrprime]

Is global warming for real or what? In theory, it's certainly obvious that if enough greenhouse gases were dumped into the air, we'd get global warming. On the other hand, I've heard some people saying that there isn't any proof. What's the deal? Is global warming happening?

Should I start selling coastal real estate futures?

Real, as in there is a much larger amount of high frequency wave lengths coming through poles than there used to be...

everytime you release gas you warm this earth

Been listening to the great enviromental chemist Dr.RUSH again huh?

 

[Ronstang]

Global warming is another fine example of junk science at it's finest perpetuated by the enviro-whackos to further their cause.

 

[zephyrprime]

If I don't ignite it, it not much warmer! And also, I often breave in air. Am I cooling things?

Ha ha, more or less. But people really believe both sides. (see above few posts). Hmmm, maybe I'll try to find how much CO2 we've put into the air.

In a few hundred million years, if we last that long, we will have been around long enough for the earth to go through several of its natural cycles of heating and coling, and we will be privy to the answer to that question.

I prefer the opinions of scientists, so far I'd say that yes, global warming is real.

So are so in the dark and jsut don't know what's going on with the planet?

 

[TheOmegaCode]

I just read that 89% of scientists believe it is, but only 17% of climatologists think that it is in effect...

Sure business people say NO. And most scientists say yes. The difference is scientists have a standard called peer-review and businessmen have a standard called ROI. Pick your side. Believe me it's better money wise on the ROI side of things.

i hope it gets warmer....... all the girls seem to dress less when it is

ROFL!
Then I'm all for global warming!

 

[Zebo]

BTW. IMO global warming is'nt as big of a problem as free radicals in atmosphere, depletion of O3, and the Oscars.

Yeah, chicks look sooo sexy with skin cancer...

Global warming is only unreal if you are an elected government official.

It's not really rocket science.

Go setup a green house and grow some plants.

Same effect.


The debate is whether the earth is warming due to natural processes, or because of us. Not if it is warming.

Even if it's not due to human activity, who cares?

It's not like all the crap we put into our atmosphere is a good thing.

You can't look at the planet today, compared to what it was like even a few hundred years ago and say that we haven't changed our planet. The climate system is chain like, just like the creature hierarchy...

You can't possibly think that basically clearing whole continents of foliage and wildlife hasn't had any effect on the balance the planet once held..

It's just too bad recorded history only goes back about 50 years. We're just going to have to see what happens, I guess. We still need to be proactive in the meantime though. :disgust:

Doesen't it alarm anybody that we have hundreds of millions.. even billions? I don't know.. There's a lot.. of these little pumps.. that suck in our oxygen.. use it to burn fuel.. and then spit out carbon dioxide, at best? :Q

I think they're called engines. lol...

i'm not too worried about skin cancer

 

[TheOmegaCode]

<< i'm not too worried about skin cancer >>

I'm not worried about sleep either... It's good, because you shouldn't fear the inevitable... I know ALOT of people in their 40's and 50's getting treatment for skin cancer, because they all grew up near beaches...

That doesn't dismiss the fact that the ladies look hot though Just need to make sure they use some lotion....

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

you must apply the lotion otherwise looking and not touching is just a forbidden man code

 

[TheOmegaCode]

<< you must apply the lotion otherwise looking and not touching is just a forbidden man code >>

Oh, of course.... I just assumed that was implied

 

[Maggotry]

The earth has been warmer than it is now and it's been colder than it is now. It's just a phase. It'll pass..........

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

half the earth is warmer when the sun is up and cooler then it is down

 

[her209]

If the atmosphere were getting too much CO2, then wouldn't more trees and plant life grow to stablize/use the excessive amounts of CO2 levels? Equilibrium....

Some people say that the world is getting warmer thus causing the polar ice caps to melt which will soon cause flooding of coast lines. However doesn't warmer temperature equate into more water being evaporated? Where does it rain/snow the most (i.e. where is all this water going)?
