Episode 4: Global Warming, It's All About Carbon

NPR's Robert Krulwich and Odd Todd, in partnership with Wild Chronicles, present an animated cartoon series on the atom at the heart of global warming: carbon. In episode 4: When carbon falls in love, the whole world heats up.

Carbon is polygamous. Hilarious.

@devilmirror1 The sun has been steady over this period of global warming, and humans produce 150 times as much CO2 as volcanic activity.

Okay so he never answered the question. WHAT DOES happen when we break carbon bonds? No seriously ? What does it do ? THey don't know. He only talks about what happens to solitary carbon. He does not describe the split.

@devilmirror1

I would recommend that you watch the PBS special "EARTH: The Operator's Manual." It discusses all of the things you mentioned.

@devilmirror1 Your second statement is not true, google volcanos and global warming, the sceptical science website. Maybe this carbon based theory of global warming is quite sound. Have you thought about that?

hahahah this is so funny

[devilmirror1]

There are many questions about this global warming theory. First, we ignore the temperature change of the sun. The sun has its heat cycle too ya know. Please look at our solar planets' temperature and see the correlation with that of the Earth. Second, the amount of CO2 released by everyday volcanic reaction is far more than the amount released from human activities. Should we shut down volcanoes too?
