The cost of ga$oline

[chiplee]

Thats the real reason that the scientific community is really concerned. Its the rate of change. Normally, changes happen so slow that generations dont even notice and adapt to it. Like how a river will change the landscape over 1000's or 10,000's of years. Your not supposed to be able to observe these changes in your life time.

 

There is only an average of 6 degrees between current temps and an ice age. Would we even notice that the average temp was down 6 degrees? No we wouldnt, but very slowly less ice would melt durring the summer and over thousands of years the ice would expand.

 

So when scientists talk about the doom and gloom they are thinking on a geologic scale and what the results will be in 200+ years if nothing changes.

 

For the deniers:

 

We have known for a very long time that CO'2 is a "green house" gas.

We know that the green house effect caused by water vapor, CO2, + other gasses keeps the earth from freezing.

We know that increasing or decreasing the amount of greenhouse gasses effects the temperature on earth.

We know we are pumping 27 million tons a year of CO'2 into the air non-stop 24-7 that would not naturally be there.

We know the average temp is rising faster than what is "normal" on the geologic scale.

We are seeing glaciers that are tens of thousands of years old melt in front of our eyes.

 

But its a big hoax.

 

First it was, "the temp wasn't changing at all".

Then it was, "its getting warmer but its not humans its sun spots or something else".

Now its, "global warming is a good thing". "More CO'2 is good for plants and stuff" "If we do anything it will hurt our economy" LOL.

 

All these positions, studies, and theories, that the deniers point to are funded by the industries who are the biggest polluters and dont want their business or profits messed with untill after they are dead.

 

Just like the panel of real doctors who testified in front of congress all saying "IMO cigarettes do not cause cancer". They also happen to be on the pay roll of the cigarette companies.

 

No one is advocating that we stop what we are doing and go back to the stone age. There just has to be some acknowledgement that we have to take care of our home. No one is going to clean it up for us.

 

The USA is only 4% of the world population but puts out 25% of the worlds CO2. We need to be leaders, not the followers when it comes to changing from fossil fuels to cleaner energy.

 

 

Hooray sensibility!!

Well, I look at it like people have way too much f'in time on there hands.

 

We live we die, the end.
