Global Warming?

[Atomicide]

Anyone have any hardcore veiws on global warming? I think its a sack of crap and this planet is more than awesome enough to somehow heal itself anyway. Also I would like to state that I want NO SPAM whatsoever in this thread.

"Global Warming" is the planets way of healing itself

every so often the planet goes through a cycle, warm to cold to warm to cold
Yes we as a race by taking from the planet have helped to speed this up
but the planet is just doing what it normally does

My kids and their fishys can deal with global warming.

global warming is cool it makes the summers hotter and the winters colder, that's good because extreme weather is kool

 

[2pac]

i personaly dont like extreme weather... im my town its over 40 C on day...thats very hot (

It's all part of nature, as babyhack said, we are just helping to speed it up.

I'm not sure about the hole in the ozone layer though, i believe it's not meant to be there, and we may have caused it to >.<. Can it be fixed/repaired is the question.

i believe its a load of BS tbh

*agrees with BH*

the holes in the ozone with probs repair in their own time if they aren't a load of BS aswell

 

[Babyhack]

The hole in the O-Zone has started to get smaller over the past few years

Holes in the Ozone layer are defiantely there, an unlike global warming their existance has been proven and recreated by scientific experiment and fact. The Ozone layer is comprised of O3 molecules (3 oxygen atoms) which ironically are more harmful to humans than regular CO2 (acrbon dioxide). What happens is CFC gases would interact with the O3, and the cemical reaction would pull the molecules apart and in the long run so much O3 was destroyed that this hole occured.

Since CFC's have been more or less banned from use now because of this, the holes themselves will begin to recover, and as an extra twist, things like cars and fuel burning machines do admit a small amount of O3.

i 100% agree with this comment BUT not enough is know to say its a cycle or that we are messing up the planet its all guesstimating.

Global warming is a fact, you've all admited it - as to whether it can or will be repaired is another matter....it's a subject far bigger than me to predict or suggest the outcome.

Ice ages are also part of the normal cycle of the earth, does that mean we are heading slowly and unalteringly towards another one Babyhack?

all i know is oil is running out so i want to get the fun of driving in and out of the way lol and if another ice age is on the way bring on the fun of trams on the front of ur car, or we cld be heading towards the situation of (although is a film) the day after tomoro.

Most people here haven't "admitted" to global warming being a fact. The majority beleive its a natural occurance and not a human activity induced chage.

There have been ice ages and hot periods in the past, and scientists had almost no information on possible causes. Recently its been revealed that "Sun Spot" activity is at a 1000 year high, ironically, temperatures are reaching record numbers as well. Studying the ice in Greenland also revealed that ice ages occured when sunspot acitivity was very very low.

Wont effect my lifetime so i couldnt careless.

if reincarnation exists it will.

 

[chimera]

Let me clarify, global warming is both a natural and and artificial occurance - hence everyone has admitted it exists. Even if you have not accepted it's true, it is still as much a fact of life as we need air, food and water to survive.

The real question is have we, the human race, made it artificially worse and if we have does the natural order of things have the ability to heal this unnatural part of global warming or do we have to help nature.

And yes the effects of global warming will occur in most peoples lifetimes, I've seen noticable changes in the last decade.

 

[Colonel]

all very true but the major effects such as an ice age wont effect any one of this life time.

 

[Atomicide]

Almost all info on global warming is speculation. Sure its gotten a bit hotter since the industrial revolution, but nobody can work out how much. It could be proven in future years that our influence was negligible, and cosmic effects such as sunspots, and solar winds had most of the influence.

Still want extra proof? Dinosaurs were reptiles, cold blooded, and heavily relied on the sun and heat to survive, yet they managed to thrive around the entire globe, meaning it must have been pretty hot back then, and since creatures that size probably couldn't hibernate succesfully, Id be willing to bet the winters werent exactly cold.

Global Warming is kinda cool, i like it
