are you talking about tsar bomba?

sooo, physics teaches you about the environment. wow, my physics class taught me about thermonuclear laws and fluid mechanics, I must have missed the day that global warming was discussed.


As I have said before (it will probably be disregarded thanks to ignorance) humans are not the cause of global warming, cooling and warming periods of the earth are a natural phenomenon. We are in a warming period at present, however the problem is that the temperatures of the planet have never grown at this rapid of a rate. A rate that began after the industrial revolution. Now many places are seeing temperatures and climate changes that are so drastic they are unheard of.

Also the glaciers are melting at a rate that has doubled in the past 10 years.

So why so much climate change so quickly? The answer is of course global warming, amplified by the effects of the industrial revolution.

Also biology doesn't teach shit about the environment and impacts on it. It's about cells, and organisms and communities of them. Sure maybe they talk about it a little bit, but there is no in depth study of human-environmental interaction.

and that "Validation" crap was a complete waste of time. i think you should keep watching it and hopefully it will improve your character to a point where you can actually contribute useful facts to this thread

duh people never know the reason why things happen but there are things called theories that have very very strong evidence behind them. does anyone on this site understand how the world of science works?? apparently not. v.v

have a nice day.

yeah wolfie, it's you... and i've never taken one. but i've had enough biology, physics and information to understand how it works. and judging by the size of our atmosphere and how much gas we put out now. even if the gasses are able to cause global warming, it's very unlikely that they actually are.

Now I think someone needs to watch Validation even though it has almost nothing to do with GlWa, Smile!!!!

Somebody needs to take an envisci class... and it isn't clpo.

Global warming does not mean higher temperatures. It means higher average temperature worldwide. The main thing the temperature increase affects is the ocean currents, which control the climate on land. Some areas will get more extreme cold, others will get more extreme heat. The ocean currents also control the climate out at sea, which is why the past few hurricane seasons have been a lot more extreme than usual.

well he's no climatologist but he has several years of experience in weather and 30,000 PhDs backing him. however, you are right that isn't completely fraud. the sun does cause global warming and it does go up and down, but the temperature is already falling when people say it's going up

John Coleman is a forecaster, not a climatologist. And his reasoning for claiming humans aren't making things worse? He thinks Al Gore and others like him are using the threat of global warming to create a world government or something silly like that.

If global warming proponents are guilty of anything, it's selling environmentalism. I don't doubt things have been hyped a bit, but it's not a complete fraud.

ok, that's not nearly every scientist. what about John Coleman John Coleman and the 30,000 PhD's suing Al Gore for fraud?

I don't think you understand why it's happening because if you didn't you would realize that humans have amplified its effects in the past 100 years. Nearly every scientist in the world has acknowledged that we have made it worse.

Does no one take science courses anymore?

Ok, the thing i don't care about is it going on. the thing i do care about is why people don't understand the fact of how and why it's happening

Global Warming is REAL wether you believe it or not. You have see the change in weather it's all over the news.

wow. I love the courtesy people show each other. I don't understand... you don't care and yet you post. so silly!

btw. i would teabag the crap out of you at halo lolzz

oh i'm sorry, haven't i already told you? I DON'T CARE! if you need me, I'll be playing halo

the process of global warming is not caused by humans. it has been occurring for thousands of years. the co2 levels constantly rise and fall.

the problem is that with millions of cars pumping exhaust into the atmosphere non-stop has suddenly amplified global warming. Never before have co2 levels been this high, and they are still climbing each year an almost exponential rate.

whether you think it's our fault or not, something needs to be done about global warming. it's our home we're talking about here, it's not like we can just go get another planet at spacemart.

well, actually. people can decide whether it's their fault or not. it 's just that, if they do decide it's not their fault. They decide it's everyone else' fault. Too bad most of these people are hypocrites. Although, those people who do believe it's their fault believe it's only their fault. Racked with guilt they try to fix the situation. Apparently this idea doesn't work with only this situation. If you ask me, i don't fit in to this situation because i don't believe that it's caused by us. Although i do believe making fuel and energy changes isn't a bad idea. just as long as it's a good one. Just don't force it on people, nobody likes to be forced to do something.

Obviously global warming is happening. That isn't what everyone is debating. We can't decide whether it's our fault or not. Probably is seeing as how we screw up a lot of things with relative ease.

that is absolutely true, what people believe is true. if you believe you can comeplete a race, you can do it. if you believe you can win a football game, the whole team can do it if they all believe so. i know this may sound cheesy but it's absolutely true. what you believe is what you are.

I honestly don't understand how people could not believe that global warming is reality. I mean the amount of research around the subject prooves that it is a reality, and that something NEEDS to be done about it. The sad truth though, is that if people do not want to believe something, they will not believe it. It is of course inconvinient, and means that society actually has to work to do something about this issue. People do not want to deal with something this extreme, so they deny and ignore it.

I 100% believe that global warming excists.. but for all of those out there who don't, whats so wrong with making fuel and energy changes? whats so wrong with recycling and conserving the energy we have? what is so wrong with protecting the animals that seem to be in danger of this horrible occurance? EVEN if you don't believe it's true? what is so wrong with making an effort to better the world?
