@fireking9934 Solar activities and natural climate change was already taken into account in the theory.

The whole point of global warming is that CO2 and methane causes unnatural changes in our environment. The ocean warming can affect thermohaline circulation, which in terms cause more unstable weather since our weather is governed by ocean temperature. In the worst case it can cause extinction.

Talking about hotter or colder on this issue demonstrate ignorance of the actual theory.

@arus1958 There is no debate in the scientific community that greenhouses gasses cause warming. None. You want an example of a runaway greenhouse effect, look at Venus. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, hotter than mercury which is significantly closer to the sun, and its atmosphere in 99% CO2. As far as humans affecting the climate, we reduce the planets ability to recycle greenhouse gases while at the same time increase the amount being put into the atmosphere. Pretty simple.

I dig Ferguson a lot, but he said it: "I`m no scientist".

If the northern polar icecap melts, it won`t raise the level of the oceans ONE INCH - now, the southern one, well that`s another issue entirely.

That woman is right, even if you dont agree it is real its still negative to do nothing about it as what we do, even if its not real, is still good for the economy.

@Neosaigo but people are to stupid to understand global warming.

HAIKU

I hatch! Crawl! And swim!

Oh how I love my sweet life,

But—why's the sea so WARM?

@SVOkid86 Don't waste your time arguing with these subhuman fanatic terrorists.

2:47 whistle

2:50 2nd whistle

2:56 back for more!

And yet, 10 prominent Republicans who publicly acknowledged global warming 2 - 3 years ago have backtracked. We're so screwed if these guys gain more control - heck, we're probably completely boned already

@fireking9934 haha, I've never said that. The fact is that other planets have not been getting warmer in correlation to earth. Scientific journals back this up. Of course all planets get their warmth from the sun, only an idiot would think otherwise. But the evidence points to sources other than the sun having the most impact on our planet getting warmer. As I have said, solar activity peaked in the late 50's, has fluctuated, but has moved lower overall since then.

@SVOkid86 so let me get this straight the sun does NOT effect earth's climate/warming according to "man made global warming believer" so according to your logic.. the earth was a big ice ball, until we started to build SUV and powerplants.... no... i think the earth was heated.. cause of... THE SUN
