NWF Global Warming in Greenland DAY 2

Community leaders visit a fishing community in Greenland to hear how global warming is impacting their heritage. They see the process of how ice is increasingly moving out to the ocean and they hear the ice cracking. One leader says, "It makes me feel so small in this world, and I'm worried about it." All travel impacts were offset through CarbonFund. Learn more at http://blogs.nwf.org/nwf_view/2007/07/index.html

If the current warming cycle is caused by human activity then how did previous ice ages come to an end?

That's rude. from a Christian to a Christian, God is of love not hate. you sound like your preaching out of hate. that's giving people the wrong idea of Christians. We also should use common sense with our planet because humans make a difference on how we affect the planet. that's all i'll say.

These NWF people didn't walk to Greenland (it's an island). They didn't sail to Greenland. They buckled their seatbelts and blasted across the sky in a fossil fuel guzzling jet plane. Then they got into fossil fuel guzzling SUVs. They didn't walk very far from those SUVs but those aren't shown in the video.

Dr Miskolczi showed that the solution to a differential equation for the greenhouse effect developed in 1922 by Arthur Milne, wrongly assumed an infinitely thick atmosphere. In re-solving this equation a new term and also a new law of physics have been proposed setting an upper limit to the greenhouse effect. Dr Miskolczis theory indicates that any warming from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will eventually be offset by a change in atmospheric moisture content.

greenland have how many summer

What is the point of a bunch of white tourists going there and finding it all so very interesting?

Then they go home and breed and shop some more.

The population of the planet increases at three people per second. Start there.

Warmer in the past than now :

"Aside from views of cattails and blackbirds, the marshes in the lower Hudson Valley near New York City offer an amazingly detailed history of the area's climate. Sediment layers from a tidal marsh in the Hudson River Estuary have preserved pollen from plants, seeds, and other materials. These past remnants allowed researchers from Columbia University, New York, N.Y. and NASA to see evidence of a 500 year drought from 800 AD to 1300 AD,"

Many of us have seen documentaries about Greenland showing very old, broken down houses and villages dated to the era of the Vikings, with only the foundation of the houses remaining; houses and villages located in areas of Greenland that now only have permafrost. The land where these houses and villages are was once farm land where crops were grown

Its now permafrost in these same areas impossible to grow crops in, i.e., it's colder there now than in the past when the Vikings were there.

all i can do for myself is educate myself on these topics as much as i can ...and maybe move to higher ground ...but the galatic alignment will bring more than enough to deal with and they know it ......

as we aproch the galactic plane the earth will warm it has happend for thousands of years also the suns cycle of 11 years dosnt help the thing with the greenhouse effect many scientists say when the earth has had an increase of co2 in the air the findings do not reflect that of an increase of temprature.... sure maybe we should stop polution thats a must....still i know i feel somthing much more sinister at work with all this......
