Yeah, I mispelled "telling". It's called a typo - short for typographical error. It's a far cry from not knowing HOW to spell a word. You mispelled volcano twice! The 'a' and the 'o' are REAL far apart on the keyboard, dude.

[dlfppa]

look how you spelled -telling- your correcting my spelling and telling "me" I have nerve and you misspelled telling... dont judge someone because they misspell a word.. you knew what I meant.. and I wasn't talking about a volcanoes<- better? that erupt and cover the sky so the sun cant shine thru...I'm talking about the ones under the ocean that are constantly erupting that tree huggers and global warming freaks never talk about.

Thank you for your suasive responses to the comments here, not merely mine.

"The video failed to explain how changes in the arctic ecosystem might impact the human ecosystem far to the south."

The real connection between the Arctic and regions south of it has to do with oceanic circulation. (Look up "Heinrich events".) The great conveyor of deep ocean currents moves into and out of the Arctic. It's a vital link in the distribution of heat from low to high latitudes. It is also thought to be an important link in climate change throughout Earth history.

"that valcanos and forest fires cause or add to global warming? Umm thats fact sir."

Actually volcanoes can have a net cooling effect on cliamte. 1816 - the Year without a Summer - was the result of the cataclysmic eruption of Tambora in Indonesia. The vast amount of ash blown into the atmosphere decreased insolation worldwide. The effects were tempoprary, however.

And you have nerve teling someone to educate themselves when you misspell the word "valcanos" twice in the same comment.

[dlfppa]

and you can find 1000 scientist for and against whats creating and conributing to global warming. The one's who say what I'm saying aren't educated??? You just happen to be on the other side of the argument. All I'm saying is state ALL the facts, not just the ones that make you look good and want to save the earth. You can't save it. It's nature. So enjoy it now and start worring about something you can ACTUALLY change.

[dlfppa]

what argument is old? that valcanos and forest fires cause or add to global warming?? Umm thats fact sir. maybe you should do a little reading and educate yourself. What does burning forest create? or valcanos when they are erupting? Fact son....

[UncleVRoy]

Old Argument already debunked educate yourself dude!

[dlfppa]

they made a comment in the video that the whales will be subject to boat traffic and noise. OMG are you kidding me? Noise? When people and animals are put in situations that are different than everyday life what do we do? wilt away and die? Hell no. We ADAPT. The animals might have to swim 5 more miles but guess what? They will do it, and they will find food, and they will live. Evalution people. Living creatures evolve with their surroundings.The world is not ending.Trust me. You people use the

The world is going thru a cycle of warming right now. Nothing we do can stop that. If every car,truck,motorcycle,and factory shut down right now, it would take 50-75 years to slow the "man made" warming.I love animals but I can't stand the people that make it sound so desperate. Polar bear population is NOT declining.The are finding food just fine. They can swim miles and miles.When the earth went thru it's cooling and heating millions of years ago, was it man who created it? no it was our earth
