Just call me Joe Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi names joe I'm getting a bit nervous because all of this global warming stuff is it really our fault that were destroying the world. I know it sounds weird but I get really scared around the subject. Thanks for your answer it helps me A lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0night Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The earth is warming up, but whether or not its is 100% human's fault is up for debate. whether it's sensible to continue mass-producing gases that are 100% proven to have an impact in increasing the rate of climate change is not really up for debate though. it's kind of nonsense, but we'll want to ignore that for as long as possible because it's gonna suck to work out how to preserve our standard of living whilst not crushing our more distant hopes of survival as a species.

Kevin the Chicken God Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I recommend you watch the episode of the reboot of Cosmos on the subject, it was really interesting I think that saying "no, global warming isnt caused by humans", is denying it based on our fear that it's true http://www.hulu.com/watch/643055 its quite the time commitment tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♠Derpeh♤ Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Global Warming? You mean that thing that Al Gore made up so environmentalists would throw their money at him? He wasnt wrong tho, back a while back when CFCs were used in practically everything it literally burned away our ozone. Took us years to get it all banned from use and to find a decent alternative. cfc = awesome for refrigerants, taking out fires, aero cans...etc used to be used in any product related to those, but when released it stopped the reaction o + o2 -> 03 (ozone) from forming and one molecule can react continuously in our atmosphere. People saw it as the miracle chemical and didnt realize it's effects until it was used globally... If you still think humans have no effect on ozone think again... EDIT: how it broke down ozone Cl + O3(ozone) = ClO + O2 ClO + O = Cl + O2 **repeats process How ozone is formed O2 + O = O3 (ozone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSC159753 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The gobal warming patterns match up more with sunspots rather than CO2 emmision. During the 60-70s the sunspots increased and have slowing decreased since then. Now emmisions ARE bad, but I don't think that they are the main cause behind the heat increase and slow decrease we have been seeing. source: http://www.suspicious0bservers.org/ Also I would like to say that we should not ruin ourselves economicaly to fix a theory, imagine how much faster the new world would have been discovered if the world wasn't "flat".

Depression is ass Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 There's a theory that scientists and environmentalists faked global warming. TL;DR I hate environmentalists and that its faked to make more people into the "new age era"(which is basically modern age stone age) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefrom Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I don't care about the whole world exploding and sea levels rising. I'll explode way before sea levels rise to a dangerous level. Seriously I think it's human accelerating global warming by a few years and tries to fix the problems I'll wait for the next ice age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistolvania Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'd assume it's a well known fact that denying global warming is done purely in economic interest. Marsha Blackburn atleast made it very clear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zFruNyiUHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emissions are the main cause of the greenhouse effect, which in turn increases climate change CO2 is the main cause of the greenhouse effect, and it's presence in the environment was minimal until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution ( http://www-das.uwyo.edu/~geerts/cwx/notes/chap01/Image18.gif ) The sunspot theory is a pretty common one, and here's an interesting article about it ( http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/2009/0722/earthtalk-do-sunspots-and-solar-flares-affect-climate-change ), however I believe that the effect doesnt have a major impact Addressing the last post, the vast majority of people knew that the world was round centuries before Columbus (or even the Vikings) discovered the new world, they just lacked the resources and drive to do so.

The Radiated Banana Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Should be called global climate change, not global warming. But yeah true, the world is in one of those periods where it is heating up, but the fact that we are speeding up the process is certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 These graphs and illustrations make global warming quite convincing. It seems that you got scared by the media or your teacher. Don't be, the future for our youth isn't pretty anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whopz Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 since the invention of thermometers we are able to accurately measure temperatures. since precision thermometers world wide are indicating temperature increases, we can say we high certainty that the earth is warming. global warming is indisputable right now. the causes are unclear, but the measurements we take give us a more clear idea of what's going on. what i find particularly worrying and more often than not, it's never mentioned at all, the temperature of the oceans as well as the ever increasing dissolved carbon dioxide in the sea. that is arguably a bigger threat to our way of life than warmer air.
