Whenever I hear about plans to alter the oceans or the atmosphere or some other significant part of the environment, I always think back to that ill-conceived plan to create artificial reefs off the coast of Florida with bundles of old tires. The intentions were good, help the environment and rectify some of the damage we have done to it. Except the ocean tossed those tires around so badly that they ended up wreaking havoc on the underwater reef ecosystem. So much so that now millions of $ has to be spent to recover all the tires. We need to be extraordinarily careful when tampering with the ecosystem in a manner that we think is corrective. History is full of stories of invasive species and other unintended consequences, that sometimes end up being worse than the initial situation, stemming from people rushing a "fix" into place when careful, scientific consideration for the after effects is not properly pursued. |
Hear hear Bullitt! Well said.

Decades don't mean shit. ( see posts of BAD DATA) Three or four decades ago it was global COOLING that was the issue and some scientists were predicting another ice age by 2050. Quote:

Oh yep, the climate is changing, in fact, if you take a look at Al Gores movie about wind changes and how it affects the ice caps, you'll see that if what he presented is fact, and the winds are changing, combined with/supported by this new research, then it's perfectly plausible that the southern areas of the earth are going to get colder as the northern areas get hotter.
If we accept this theory, then it's really just a question of how quickly these changes will occur, not if they're occuring. |
Thats a If
|
IF you don't think the climate has changed at all in your lifetime then it's an IF. IF you acknowledge that things are a bit different now than when you were a kid, then it's not such an IF after all.
|
IF we agree that they have changed.... Then what part, IF ANY, does/did mankind have in it.
|
Maybe a little, maybe a lot. According to further information not contained in that report, part of the reason for the wind changes in antarctica are due to the hole in the ozone layer over Australia. If we believe that man caused the hole, then we have to agree that mankind has a hand in this issue.
eta: personally I think the hole in the ozone layer was caused by women in the 80's using too much hairspray for their big hairdo's. |

Aw c'mon, it takes that much fuel for the Obama entourage to go from the White House to Capitol Hill. :haha:

Global cooling? The particle layer will block sun rays from hitting the Earth, causing them temperature to drop in a much less extreme nuclear winter asteroid impact fashion.
