Global Warming: Impacts on Wildlife and Society

[slashisgod9299]

lol global warming people will believe anything. why did politicians get away with making up global warming? cause americans are stupid simple answer

[maximum411]

@slashisgod9299

Really? Would you like to take a look at all the scientific evidence behind global warming before you believe the right-wing conspiracy theorists? I have researched the topic heavily (as well as the "arguments" on the other side) and all the criticisms of it are shallow and not backed up by facts, while the evidence supporting it is very convincing.

[slashisgod9299]

@maximum411 i respectfully disagree. i am not a ideological person so i too researched this topic. many of the so called convincing evidences is very weak. althoug it sounds good it is ture that climate temperatures have always been different! you cant see a change in climate and automatically blame pollution its always been happening things wont always stay the same and there has been no major change in any climate but many exxagerations. and before you ask no im not religous

[maximum411]

@slashisgod9299

Then why does the recent rise in temperatures (since the 70s) correlate perfectly with rises in carbon dioxide, while solar activity has decreased since then? If the solar activity theory is correct, temperatures should have dropped since the 70s, and yet they haven't.

[slashisgod9299]

@maximum411 valid point however you cant always expect scientific predictions to be correct sometimes they are off. however you could be right. whats your source for these facts? ill have do my own research before i make a decision on the topic.

[maximum411]

@slashisgod9299

True, science can be off, but it is our best bet and if you don't trust science you can't trust anything. You can't post links on YouTube comments, but if you do a Google image search of global temperatures vs. solar activity you will see graphs demonstrating this from many different sources. You can do the same for temps vs carbon dioxide.

[maximum411]

I was mistaken before when I said solar activity had decreased since the seventies; it has been a while since I researched this and the decline actually begun closer to the 80s, but the point is the same.

Thanks, by the way, for actually taking evidence into consideration and being logical in what you believe. Surprisingly few people are willing to consider another side once they have decided which side they are on.

[slashisgod9299]

@maximum411 not suprising at all people listen to closley these days to what the media tells them very few people decide for themselves with an open mind.

everything is getti hotter thats y we had a very bid snow period in america nd britain so "yeah things r gettin rly hot honey ooohhh look its snowing again"

and if any1comments about how i type well i hav a life i dont spend hours over a keyboard plus my keyboard is broke

[goog2k]

125,000 years ago a +2C rise in global temps. correlated with a 6-9 meter (25ft) rise in sea levels.

For a clear assessment of the most recent Climate Change science watch:

FORA (dot) tv

Global Warming: How Policy Can Catch Up With Science, Dr. Michael Oppenheimer, 2/23/10 (Environment)

Dr. Michael Oppenheimer is Professor of Geosciences at Princeton University & was the Lead Author on the third and fourth assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2001 & 2007.

Nuclear fusion, power with no 'Global Warming'. Though that was only ever lies from nuclear power - your boss stooge!

[defzepled]

FACT 1: We had a Global Cooling period as recently as the mid-1940s through the early 1980s even though carbon dioxide emissions rose since the Global Warming period that preceded it from the 1900s up to the mid-1940s. FACT 2: Temperature has only increased 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. FACT 3: The period of most frequent and intense hurricane activity was between 1926-1935, we have had nary any activity since 2005. FACT 4: Al Gore uses 20-times the energy of the average Joe.

It is so ironic that the people who are making money from causing climate change (name an oil company), are cheating people into believing that the people trying to stop it are profiting from you.

[Psycarne]

No money is being made from global warming. Exxon (the most profitable Oil company in the world) is putting millions into disinformation telling people there is no man made climate change. Reducing CO2 levels threatens the assets of the richest people in the world, money will not be made from it.

And the earth was not warmer 1000 years ago, that is a lie, it was actually significantly cooler in the middle ages. Martin Durkin is a lying cunt, do your own research.

[markrskinner]

All lies.

[mikesdjftr]

ya prove how its a lie?

[asorted]

Climate change bfkd!!!! We are on the pleasant end of one of many Ice ages. There was more carbon in the athmosphere when this Ice age started (millions of yrs ago). Maybe that was when the Sahara Desert was a sea bed? The white cliffs of Dover (millions of dead fish= chalk). These dudes are all fakes scared to say any different as there is BIG money being made on the global con ....

[markofthebeasts]

the bible is true? how do i know? because 'it' says so! who? what says so? the bible... 

evolution occurs when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics as a trait of resistance passed down from one generation to the next... over time...

jesus was a horse thief! read the bible... god bless you

[thebluesky92]

Part of believing in Religion is

BELIEVING.

Just like you believe in evolution,

how do you know Darwin was right?!

YOU DONT.

[lattask8er]

Um, well basically there is mountains of evolution supporting evolution. It is accepted as fact. People that dispute it have probably not read much into it.

[ManitobaP20]

YOU DONT HAVE PROOF OF THE PAST, SCIENTIST ARE ALL LIENG. WE WERE NOT ONCE MONKEYS. EVOLUTION IS ALL FAKE. THE BIBLE IS 100% true READ IT DUM*SS

[katieluvsalex]

you know maybe you should educate yourselves a. by just observing the world around you and b. stay awake in biology class....dont close your mind and let the our precious earth suffer b/c you cling so tightly to your relgion God gave us brains so use it!

[davybjohnson1990]

science answers a lot of things but what does religion proves? Nothing

[BewitchedMoonFlower]

@davybjohnson1990 why would you bring religion into this? This is about Earth, not whether or not a religion is based on truth. This is about our home. Let's keep it that way.

[kevinlikesboys]

Wrong! You may want to look into the MWP a bit more before you make a comment like this.  Global Warming DOES exist, and that IS a fact. Why is it happening? Not 100% sure yet.

[Squad2ND]

The butterfly has spoken! We're all fucking dead!!!

[songsterhiragana]

We need to also think about polar cities for the future, year 2500 or so. Google the term or Wikipedia it or look for my blog of same name: polar cities. We need them.

Biotic pump of atmospheric moisture as driver of the hydrological cycle on land. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 11, 1013-1033...In this paper the basic geophysical and ecological principles are jointly analyzed that allow the landmasses of Earth to remain moistened sufficiently for terrestrial life to be possible.

[scharwenka1850]

Very, very interesting. I just learned about IPCC, yesterday. Am discovering there are many viewpoints.

Also, began reading about Biotic Regulation of the Environment, as put forth at- w w w . biotic-regulation . pl . ru/index . html

[dustbunnieboo]

Well said. Thank you!

[DIANOUSHE]

Thank you Camille.

It's time to realise, darse cuenta...
