What happened to global warming?

no.

 

lol i'm just messing i have no idea if they are or not lol.

 

They are .

I would say technically you are right , but as the atmosphere basically thins out until it merges with the vacuum of space the thickness is not an absolute value .

Having conceded the symantics , my point that the Earth's atmosphere is a thin veil over us is still valid , 62 miles or 300 miles , it still pales in comparison to the size of the Earth

 

The issue is not only the capture of man made gasses , but many human related activities such as deforestation , which reduces the Eath's ability to absorb some of the crap we pump out .

 

I've not read through all these pages, but global warming is total bullshit! We KNOW there have been multiple ice ages, way before Henry Ford made autos. It's all brought to you by the same people that brought you Y2K. Mark Twain summed this up years ago: "If you don't read the news, (was before TV, but the same still applies) you are uninformed, if you do read the news, you're misinformed."

 

^ yep

 

You mean man made global warming I presume , because obviously we would have had to have global warming to come out of the ice ages you mentioned .

 

That's my point. There is nothing on this earth that's not from this earth. A tad off subject, but not either. The BP oil spill, terrible, terrible thing, all the doomsday know it alls we declaring the end of the gulf as we know it. Yes there was a great deal of clean up from a ton of folks. Seafood, gone, wildlife gone, blah blah blah. This was a great year for seafood harvest/tourism etc. These 24hr news channels have to fill there time slots with doom and gloom, that's what's sales.

 

I'm with T4daddy on that!!!! global warming made by humans is bullshit....their is cycles of temperature dating way back. not only the earth is warming up, but EVERY single other planet of the system...even pluto....so unless there is little green man's farting their ass's off and driving cars around on all other planets....i think it's more of a natural phenomenon. too bad people beleive in this corporate greed scam!! any good reason to make money...sorry for all the Al Gore lovers

 

no one ever proposed the notion that humans where completely to blame for the shifting climate or the cycles it goes through but, we are absolutely not helping things at all.

we are speeding things up and throwing off what many believe to be a natural balance polar ice has been melting considerably faster in the last 20 or so years how do you not see the correlation between the two

i also find it to be completely silly that it's not even on the table for discussion lol it's either people seem to agree with it or it's complete bull shit.

i for one believe that we do contribute as a world population to climate change but, i cannot say it with any real certainty because i do not have my phd in the subject and i venture to say none of us do? i just find it funny that with no real knowledge or training regarding the subject at hand most don't listen to the few that do.

 

Global warming is just made up stuff to make the population worry, government likes to make people scared.

 

But there are combinations of elements not normally occuring here , ie plastic , no ?

 

I thought that was Saddam's WMD

 

lol are you shitting me the oil spill while not end of the world completely screwed things up in the gulf and they will be feling the effects of that shit for years to come.

and yes everything is of this planet but, when you mine it refine it and burn it you change it's chemical composition completely and basically denature it to be either toxic not only to us but to the surrounding environment. you don't need to be steven hawking to figure that one out. sure oil is fine 800 feet below the seas surface but when you drill it up and then spill it over the gulf it's a whole different story wildlife fish and basically anything near it is now swimming in a toxic stew.

 

X2!

 

i have to tell you i probably would not be digging on fish harvested from the gulf anytime soon but, maybe thats just me.

 

There are more scientist that don't believe than do. They claim a single eruption of a volcano spews more poisonous gasses than all man made pollution combined. They've (volcanos) been around for some time.

 

Source ? or speculation ?
