Discussion: Global Warming and Other Environmental Issues

[Ahura Mazda]

It is about 45/50 here in Switzerland. Yesterday I actually felt the sun but today I am back to wearing gloves.

Do the ice caps really mely as much as the media says it does? Every other morning they seem to have footage of an ice boulder falling off into the sea. But it just seems a little too much IMO.

The Goverment is lying to us!! Global Warming has been created by them!

Seems that way sometimes....I swear tomorrow they will show me a picture of humans dying of nuke like heat exposure and say it was global warming.

It was cold in Miami for like ..One week at the least. It's 75 now.

Last week it went down to 27 here in Central Florida. There was frost on the windows and I'm thinking if it rained I would have finally seen snow.

Gore couldn't be Prez. He needed a legacy......this is what we've got.

I wonder why people think the ice caps melting would cause the ocean level to rise?

 

[Dark Donnie]

it was like 58 in Jersey yesterday

 

[ElToro]

It is poring rain here in the North California.
Its going to rain today too.

Well who wouldn't but it's a bit much to ram it in the faces of the public all the time. Seems a bit much.

Yeah, Gore was sore about not being President so he travelled back in time to the 70's and started his " crusade " ( he has been talking about it since the 70's ) in fact in the 80's and 90's he was called " Ozone Man" by some people.

so...uh...yeah, the Presidency had nothing to do with this.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Thunderstorms and tornadoes in Chicago in January is freaky, but it's gonna be snowing here again by tonight.

 

[SuBe]

What's cold down there? 55?

No, it actually snowed on daytona beach.

 

[chamber-music]

I'm in London and its as cold as F***.

Gore-minator I like that.

 

[Showtime]

About 37 degrees.

I was on vacation, I thought I was still in Boston. Meanwhile it's 57 here today.

 

[kane9321]

[rdh007]

I don't know for sure, but the tornadoes that hit Illinois/Wisconsin on January 7th seem odd to me.

 

[Carcharodon]

Well who wouldn't but it's a bit much to ram it in the faces of the public all the time. Seems a bit much.

...anybody with a basic grasp of physics?

 

[Carcharodon]

Oh, I don't believe that the glaciers from the last ice age have melted.

No; many are just now disappearing, or getting close to disappearing.

this is why nobody takes slim seriously. it's that uncanny willingness to ignore fact and repeat the b.s. that all the lying right-wing pundits tell him to reinforce his ****ed-up ideology.

What do you define as "fully happnening"? If you mean all the ice caps melting... probably not but in two full human lifetimes? Unless we do something drastic to at least curb humanity's part in it - YUP.

LOL, it's not the heaven's gate cult, man.
I don't think anyone that has seen the evidence has their own date, I think most people are basing their stance on the issue upon the scientific evidence available.
all I wan personally is for people to take the small steps they have to in order to address our role in climate change, as well as our role in affecting the environment in other ways, not just climate wise.
do I think it's urgent? yeah, very much so.

I didn't expect anyone to have a specific date lol. Just in their own opinion, how soon they think the **** could hit the fan if we don't change things.

Chem 101:

Water is one of the only substances that EXPANDS when it freezes. This is why ice floats in water. All of this ice we are talking about melting is already in the ocean. Just frozen. when melted it will take up the same amount of space as the water it displaces.

Don't be talk'n dat science!
