How or Why we will reverse global warming

[saggs]

How about landfills we're building mountains of them around us, eventually they will overtake us won't they...?

 

That is the most hilarious thing I have read in a long time.  The word does not work like a Shel Silverstein poem.. ...

I bought a GTS Vespa and its still sunny still in the UK

Flippen brass monkeys at night, put 3 logs on my burner , the horror had two brandys.

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

[zack1234]

It is flat

Humans could no more stop the climate from changing than they could stop earthquakes, hurricanes and volcanoes from happening.  It's called nature, disasters happen, and the climate on this planet has never been a constant.  Millions of years ago most of the world was a tropical forest, 10,000 years ago most of the world was covered in ice.

How come as humans we have decided that after having an ever changing and dymanic climate for hundreds of millions of years, now all of a sudden it must be static?  Human civilization is just a blip of time in the history of our ever changing planet, but for some reason we expect geological and climate changes that happen in cycles of tens of thousands and millions of years to stop just for our convenience.

 

The day will come when Mother Earth thru her natural climate cycles/ geological changes will shake us off her back like fleas from a dog.....We will adapt, or go extinct.... We're no better than the hundreds of millions of other life forms here that have disappeared as a result of natural occurances.  It doesn't mean that we shouldn't take steps to keep her clean, if only out of respect and thoughtfulness  for future generations.....IMHO the climate change argument is just 2 agendas trying to bang their heads against each other, each hoping for a favorable outcome to their agenda......us fleas hubris Has no ceiling

I love history and geology, which is why it pains me to see "scientists" use such tiny time scales as a few decades to scare people.

Try looking back to the last ice age, or the 800 thousand years of data from antarctic ice cores, or the hot period that gave us dinosaurs, or even the "snowball earth" event who's end marked the development of more complex life on earth.

We are an insignificant blip in the total history of the earth and long before us the earth warmed and cooled by huge margins.

The crabs will take over the Earth!

Pipz had crabs

[Chilli]

The crabs will take over the Earth!

Only after it has all been submerged.... and even then sharks will reign another 6 billion years.  So don't hold your breath Mr.  ....... ummm I mean hold your water

About that ice extent thingie... You need to understand a couple of things, before you get all breathless about it - and I'll cite, below.

1. It's the fourth lowest in the satellite record.
2. The satellite record goes back to 1979.
3. Antarctic extent is at record levels.
4. The minimum was hit four days earlier this year than last.
5. The sea ice extent is NOT at an historical low, either in the satellite record or as evidenced by the previously cited revelation of millennial optimum settlements...
6. 1979-2015 is a period of about 36 years and so constitutes but a tiny sample of the actual record. It might reveal, thus, something abou high freq variation but is unlikely to be a good indicator of low freq variation.

So, which part of the National Snow and Ice Data Center findings do you dispute? This is about the science, not somebodies feeeeelings, right?

[craz07]

It has already been posted, and secondly where is the trend going?

[NatCigg]

Right now sea ice is growing on both poles but don't take my word for it....

Lol thanks Lamar!
