here's the problem as i see it.
those of us with our beliefs have them, and personal and local experience to go with.
"scientists" who are trying to convince us that global warming is man made have an agenda. they get more grants, as long as they continue to keep people convinced in it.
large corporations see a pot of gold in this stuff, and jump on the bandwagon, throwing in their muscle, and weight. they can and WILL make more money than anyone can imagine on this crap.
"scientists" who are trying to convince us that global warming is not man made also have their agenda. while not as big as those trying to prove it is man made, they will continue to get grants from someone.
there's not enough money to be made if the theory is disproved, so they don't get the corporations on board, and don't pull the weight they otherwise could.
the thing we all have to remember, is that while it may be warming in region "A", it is cooling in region "B". chances are good that region "B" just finished a warming cycle, just as "A" just finished a cooling cycle.
this is normal. it has, and always will happen. there is nothing the human race can do to speed it up, there is nothign the human race can do to slow or stop it.
sea levels? same thing. if they're rising in region "A", chances are they're receding in "B".
remember...the earth doesn't rotate perfectly on its axis. it "wobbles". this can and will cause these types of changes, along with other factors.
if any of you have ever watched discovery green(i was channel surfing), there was a show where the discovery channel is sponsering ideas to slow down global warming. this is clue #1 there's a problem. they would not involve themselves if there wasn't a LOT of money to be made off of this.
some of the ideas? THESE are truly scary.
1) load trillions of tiny mirrors on a space ship, and blast em into outer space. they'll reflect sunlight away from the planet, or some of them being prism type lenses, they'll "bend" the suns energy, deflecting it around the earth.
2) run unmaned ocean liners about the seas, blasting a mist(creatred from sea water) pretty much creating a sort of cloud, again, blocking the suns energy from reaching us.
3) sea tubes. these are "wave" powered, go 1,000 ft deep into the ocean. they;re supposed to bring plankton to the surface. this almost makes sense, as i think plankton absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees and plants do.
my point is who are the effin loons that want to deflect the suns energy from our planet??? we NEED its energy. are these nutballs trying to create an endless winter??
the problem with these ideas, once again, is that corporations are looking at these things, as a way to make money. money from something that is not a problem to begin with.
do you all realize that co is MUCH more dangerous than co2, right? co2 is heavier than air. it does not go up into the atmosphere. co on the other hand is lighter, and can.
read this page.
http://www.dupagehealth.org/health_alert/co2_alert.html back yet? cool. now, by that, realize that co will kill you more quickly, and insidiously than co2.
after you realize that, then realize that nox is 10 times more deadly than co.
i wish i had the answers, but i don't.
what i DO know, is that the weather here where i live has remained mostly unchanged for as long as i can remember. i'm 47. the biggest change i've noticed, is that it never got warm enough for me to run my a/c this past summer. in fact, i only had to open my windows to be comfortable.
so....all of you....forget the data, because both sides really only present us with things that favor what they want it to favor.
look back, if you've lived in your area for a long time. was the weather noticably different 20 years ago? 30?
we can come up with our own conclusions right here if everyone is honest in their answers, as there's people all over the world reading these threads.
i'd bet that our conclusions are much different than what out "scientists" would like them to be.
my brother moved to central florida when he was 18. he's now 45. he says that the weather there is the same as when he moved there.
