How or Why we will reverse global warming

[jimson]

Ice is shrinking so fast in the north they're already preparing to evacuate ice dependant villages...  Can we do something to reverse this for the next generation, or is the next generation just iphones and suv's with long commutes...?  Your own fate is in front of your own eyes...  The more conversation we have about this the better chance we have if anyone cares anymore....

You are under 30 aren't you?

It amazes me how the UN and IPCC want to dictate the world economy based on 40 years of climate data.  When that is almost the exact length of the Sun's activity cycles.

I think we are less than a decade away from a major milestone in fusion, and maybe two decades away from commercialization.  It will be a game-changer.

For all you that deny that man is changing the climate, I hope you are happy when we kill the earth.  It was bad enough that we killed all the dinosaurs just so that some day when they turned into oil a few people could get rich.  Don't even try and tell me that the ice caps today are giant compared to how small they were at different times in the earth's history.  Even if thats true, they probably shrank back then due to cavemen burning T-Rex dung.

I'm sending an extra check to Al Gore this month.  At least I will fry knowing I did the right thing.

It amazes me how many don't think that global warming is a myth.

There's no one living in the antartic... they're all in the areas where the global temperature is rising so what good is what you just said...

Other than showing you that your original post that started this discussion is uninformed bunk .............nothing

Fine you guys win, warm up the planet as we have no other option, and keep on filling the landfills, so we can mine them for gold later lol... If I said the planet was round you'd probably argue that it was flat

Let me ask you one question.

What is the RIGHT temperature for the earth?  In the 70's we were warned of impending doom from global cooling.  In the 90's it was global warming.  Now it's just called climate change.

So who decided that the temperature at this blip of time (geologically speaking) when human civilization rose, is the RIGHT temperature, and that we cannot allow it to deviate?

How come the global temperatures in the pre-Cambrian era are not the right temps?  Or maybe the RIGHT temperature was during the Jurassic or Cretaceous periods.  Or maybe the RIGHT temperature was only a mere 12,000 years ago during the last ice age.

Please enlighten me.  What is the RIGHT temperature for earth?

M. Bailey, thank you for writing what I was thinking. You'lll notice I was a good deal more diplomatic.

That's an easy one, Saggs. It's whatever temp "we" could achieve by nullifying your liberties and looting you out... I.e., you know as well as I that it's merely a pretext for control.

Have you guys noticed that global warming proponents are also usually proponents of evolution?

[Scherf]

I'd assume the earth itself doesn't give a flying fig whether it's a snowball or a single warm ocean, question is what's the right temperature for contemporary homo sapiens - the places we live, the things we eat and how we want to progress.

1. I'm better qualified than Nye. He has a mere bse and his main work experience is unserious.
2. I'm part of the consensus ( temp has changed slightly and humans have some minor effect, eg heat islands), even though the IPCC, Gore, et al, have it all wrong: co2 lags, not leads, temp increases. How? The bar for "agreement" is set very low, as you'll see here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/11/20/the-97-consensus-myth-busted-by-a-real-survey/
3. A more truthful read says the scientific community is divided on the matter, especially within climate science itself.

So when all the ice is gone and the seas rise 250 ft what will the entire world  do.  All of the world will be affected so its everyone's problem.  Also, the two large areas of land based ice have been depressed from the weight of the ice (see the great lakes) so I ask will Greenland and Antarctica have inland seas or fresh water lake?  Its going to be dam cold there either way, its hard to stay warm in the dark, and antarticas place within in global currents isolates itself, oh and its a desert???

The best part of fake problems is the probable success of fake solutions.

LOL  yes I noticed that, well done sir. If you run for public office, you have my vote
