@Rooster55199 Still a good idea to develop alternate fuel. Carbon taxes are worthless, though.

tyt, telling it like it is.

Earth is not warming, our entire solar system is. There has been data showing that the surface of other planets in our solar system have all experienced a warming trend. The sun is kicking off some excess radiation from solar flares, no need to get into a panic people.

He pulled everyone together on a fake issue.  Great job.

whats a turk?

[Poonard]

where are your documents? where are your facts? where are your sources? i'm listening but there is NOTHING but YOUR opinion....this is nothing but talking...im never watching you again :) Travel well douchebags!

The Earth is heating, global temperatures are rising yet solar activity is down and the earth is not at an orbital inclination that should be causing much heating. Humans pump out more and more GHGs every year effectively allowing less heat to escape the earth. Not to mention we've cut down half of the world's forests (the very things which absorb CO2). Put 2 and 2 together.

You're right that CO2 levels go down when it gets cold. During the Ice Age CO2 levels were pretty low.

[chewbaca1989]

I still don't understand what you think the mechanism, or what science you cite, for the changes. It stands to reason that less water vapor was in the air during the and the Ice would have reflected the energy back into space. If C02 is more plentiful when it's hot than I reason the opposite is plausible when it's cold.

[A86]

The heating would have naturally occurred even if humans had not been polluting. But, the natural heating stopped in the late 20th century and by now the natural heating should have stopped. The reason it hasn't is because humans are now putting out enough GHGs to prevent some heat we receive from the Sun from leaving.

It's basically a matter of humans exaggerating a natural occurrence. That's all.

[A86]

The Medieval Warm Period and the Mini Ice Age were mostly caused by the Earth's rotation around the Sun. Our rotation brought us at an angle where we received more heating than usual.

Actually that was the original cause of the heating right now. The Little Ice Ag of 1400-1800 ended in 1800 as the Earth shifted into an orbit which heated the surface more. The rise in temperature released more CO2 and a rise in solar activity helped the heating effect along.
