It seems like you whish he's lying. Don't get me wrong, it would be wonderful if all the Climate Change thing would be a big lie. But im afraif it fucking isn't.

[John Hechtman]

Dude, you are absurd! These are well documented scientific facts. Educate yourself...

[Blizzard14ub]

What a lot off bullshit! What happened when it was 8deg hotter than it is today? The Romans concurred Europe! The Vikings concurred England and sailed through the north pole and had settlements in north America! What will happen if the temperature drops 8deg? We all freeze to death!

[Tanui9]

Not sure why people would not like this post other than they are idiots. Dont worry brother, the sleeping idiots will realize sometime.

[Tanui9]

NASA's Langley Research Center has collated data proving that “greenhouse gases” actually block up to 95 percent of harmful solar rays from reaching our planet, thus reducing the heating impact of the sun. The data was collected by Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry, (or SABER). SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earth’s upper atmosphere, in particular from (CO2) and (NO), thought to be playing a key role in the energy balance of air above our planet’s surface.

[Tanui9]

Now if you can get THAT WELL documented fact you would get that plants can lower our levels of Carbon and reverse this terrible scare we have from the evil element.

What next....lets take a look at carbon itself:

We have been told that this element blocks the heat from escaping Earth's atmosphere. It wont let the heat out so we are stuck in a system that will continue to generate and trap additional heat. But lets look at the latest science.

[Tanui9]

Here's something to think about next time you mow your lawn: Elevated levels of carbon dioxide enhance plant growth.

What once was a commonplace high school biology teaching has become a news item from coast to coast: From endangered rain forests in the Amazon Basin to the prairies of the Great Plains, elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will help plants grow more vigorously, resist disease better, and even better utilize water.

So the higher the carbon the more consumed.

[Tanui9]

I would gladly back up my load of crap comment. There is a process called photosynthesis that is used in Photosynthetic organisms which are photoautotrophs, which means that they are able to synthesize food directly from carbon dioxide and water using energy from light. (do you agree with this well documented fact?)

So to battle this evil carbon we can simply use plants. Lets take a look at my next FACT that is WELL documented.

[Jojo Dynamo]

Yeah well-documented as being a hoax. STOP educating yourself, you're not good at it!

[Jojo Dynamo]

So you think we'll always have the same level of technology we have today, even though experts predict we'll have fusion within 20 years.

O...k.
