Global Warming: The Future of Our Planet

[gorescam]

Environuts, Answer these questions please:

What % of the atmosphere is made up of CO2?

What % of CO2 is naturally occurring?

What % of CO2 is man made?

What is the largest source of methane gas?

What is the most abundant greenhouse gas? (the one thats never factored.)

What do these environmental computer simulations show when humans are completely removed from the simulations?

Environuts, you guys believe in evolution, right? Then if you guys are right (and you're not) then it's simply our time as a speies to go extinct. Oh well! The planet will survive so stop trying to save it. A new age will begin without the horrible humans or U.S. to mess it up. You're free at last! ENJOY IT!!

@Palmoni44 Stop buying house insurance. Your house will not go on fire! Besides, fires occur all the time naturally, no reason to blame a possible house fire on people. We buy insurance and hope we never use it. But the risk remains. The consequences of Global warming are statistically (based on scientific evidence) much higher than the odds of a single fire in any one house. But we cannot ignore the risk! To do so is just foolish. Calling scientists environuts is very bigotted.

[Futureplanet]

@gorescam Great questions. But don't call scientists Environuts. That's very demeaning. You don't call your mechanic a motonut. Knowing evidence doesn't make you nutty, only concerned about every one around us.

The vast majority of CO2 is from Nature. But nature works in balance. How much weight do you need to tip a scale? In the past not much by ice core readings. Take ice from Greenland and antartica, and they match. We know that we are emitting amounts of Co2 to cause another shift.

Ah yes, the beloved trio of arguments by disputers: it's getting colder in some places, climate variation has always been natural in the past, and therefore it is impossible for people to affect world climate, and (my personal favorite), other gases occur in greater volumes than CO2. I like to think of that last one as equivalent to saying, "Sure, my blood-alcohol level is .2, but that means itsh waaaaayy outnumbered by blood, right?" (passes out).

every video about glabal warming shows fantastic images of hurricanes and ice caps melting...like these have NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY OCCURED!

please do some research. without the facts behind the natural variation in planetary climate, you are reduced to having faith in Al Gore or the I.P.C.C.

Global Warming has become your religion.

Why don't you listen to someone not sponsored by the fossil fuel lobby? Or maybe, have a little faith in an organization endorsed by every major scientific body on the planet?

whats the song at beginning?

[svensksvenskasvenska]

Sorry but the global warming is real. I live in Sweden. We usually get snow before or maybe a few days after christmas. The past years we have gotten snow in Febuari! it's about 5+ c or wormer and it's raining alot before the snow comes. It's really windy and we have gotten many more storms the past years. Our fall seasion has extended with atleast one month!

[timpor]

wow. seriously?

local temperatures are allowed variance from year to year or decade to decade or more.

the global warming scam is NOT about the planet warming. it is about are humans CAUSING it? the answer is no.

Funny, I live in Idaho and I haven't seen a winter this cold for years.

[Futureplanet]

@2289567 Yes. Climate change doesn't mean we can't have a cold year, or many. But a change in the averages. Change the average temperature of a human body by a few degrees and you die. Change sea temperature by 4 degrees and all coral reefs die. The ice from the artic will melt during the summer, causing the extinction of many animals. Nothing is certain, but the evidence is very frightening. No one wants to believe it, including me, but I cannot wish facts and evidence away.

[lilmoeyahoo]

We was the last time the earth warmed?1998.

How high did the temp rise?1 degree.

How much CO2 is in the air?Less then Nitrogen and oxygen.

Whats your IQ if you believe in Global Warming?0

[2289567]

It has risen less then half a degree

[willmcloskey]

You guys need to take into account that the polar ice caps are melting which is raising the water level. This will cause global flooding. also take note in november it was hot - december cold - january HOT thats 1 month for winter.

good documentary...anyone tell you the topic your researching is a scam, though?

[Zyx340]

I live in georgia and it's snowing global warming my foot.
