Is Climate Change a Myth?

it's a theory. personally it aint our fault entirely, we speed up the process but geology shows the climate constantly fluctuates!! we are still coming out of the last ice age for crying out loud!! argh!! this gets on my t*ts!! believe what you wish

I think you are right to think that it's rubbish. Anybody with a rudimentary understanding of chemistry and physics knows that if you increase the concentration of CO2 in an atmosphere it reflects and traps radiation given out from a radiating energy source. Thus increasing temperature.

We know that there are hundreds of millions of cars pumping out millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and we know its effect.

I really do not understand how anybody can deny this stuff, it really is basic science.

If the thermohaline circulation collapses due to oceanic acidification, then the Northern Hemisphere will be plunged into an ice age within a decade.

Can I have odds against please I've paypal

"It's just a theory!!!"
You mean like the Theory of relativity, theory of evolution, the theory of gravity?

Please watch the videos I linked to in my previous post and might just change your mind - it's got lots of Unbiased Peer-reviewed evidence behind it. ;p

Until mythbusters do a piece on "is climate change a myth" quite frankly, noone will know the answers, its all down to Jamie and Adam now.

It's like evolution. People like denying what is patently obvious, simply because they cannot accept evidence that conflicts with their beliefs and what they have been brought up to believe in.

Also, because the centre-left - which in most countries has historic links to the green movement - was the first to adopt "eco-friendly" policies and attitudes, the substantial right wings in many nations view it as a leftist ploy. In reality it's simply a logical move for any New Left-derived party such as New Labour as the Greens evolved in parallel and in conjunction with the New Left during the 50s-60s. Given the wide-scale government-led policies that need to be enacted to combat an issue like global warming, right-wing parties often view it is a statist power grab.

Frankly, I do not think there is any doubt that we are having a global effect on the climate and seriously disturbing the natural climatic variation. For the first time in several million years, CO2 is predicted to cross above 400ppm in the atmosphere. Please don't patronise me by saying that "it's volcanic activity" - we are in a period of relative calm in regards to global volcanism. There is no source on the planet that can possible produce nearly as large an increase in CO2 and other GHGs as humanity, especially not in a mere 150 years. When you combine that with lowering of the global surface albedo, CO2 saturation of the oceans (the major CO2 sinks in the planet, evidenced through acidification causing ecosystem collapse and coral bleaching) and huge deforestation in the Amazon, Indonesia and the Congo, as well as the often-neglected Boreal forests in Canada and Russia, the evidence is all there and points towards serious climatic change in the future.

However, the nature of that change is wildly variable, since it depends on the outcomes of so many different variables. If the thermohaline circulation collapses due to oceanic acidification, then the Northern Hemisphere will be plunged into an ice age within a decade.

Bah, I get all pent up about this.

Although the planet may have warmed in previous years, current levels will affect our lives quite drastically and if we can do something to combat it, why not?
