Global Warming is no real threat to the planet. The Ozone Layer is only two degrees above normal. Volcanic explosions and several other natural disasters cause more global warming than industrialization does. Global Warming is no threat and whoever says so, in terms of scientists and other guys similar, are no REAL profesionals and have no idea what they are saying.
Listen up everybody! All the scientists are wrong! You may now return to your homes, there's nothing to worry about here! Akatsuki, the thirteen year old middle-school student, knows what he's talking about!
Thank you, Akatsuki, for exposing these evil scientists for what they really are. Liars. With no idea what they're talking about. I mean, what credentials do these so called "scientists" really have?
Actually, only a few even think of worrying about global warming. They say many other scientists agree, but those scientists say they lied. The rest realize that nothnig will happen for the next 1,000 years on a noticable scale. By then they'll do something, and we have no need to worry now.
Also, temperatures increase up to 1/5 a Celsius degree (which are larger than Fahrenheit) a decade. Yeah, like in the next thirty years 1/2 a degree higher will kill us. ::) I predict that it will increase 100 degrees by 7007. 50 by 4507. 25 by 3257. 5 by 2257. Yes, this will certainly affect our next generation. ::)
Seriously, all of the greenhouse gases just don't rise up and weaken the ozone layer. They will have to take a very long cycle to get there that will weaken them so they are unnoticable. People who think this is a problem is dead wrong. We have more important things to worry about., such as terrorism and dictatorship governments, the poor people in Africa, and the rising population
I...agree that it may not be a threat as of now, but I think it COULD later on if it continues indefinitely. I don't think the ozone layer has much to do with it--I think it's the CO2 levels that do.
While it may not be a threat to US, it MIGHT to polar life, since the polar ice caps are melting. We already know that.
Still, I'm not that much concerned about it right now. However, if you want a bigger example of the Greenhouse Effect, look at Venus. ;)
I think you're confusing Global Warming with Ozone Layer Depletion. They're two related, but quite different, things. In fact, the hole in the Ozone Layer above Antarctica is gone. Global Warming, on the other hand, is a very real, very serious issue.
Also, some of it has to do with the fact the Earth slowly moves turns the Sun. In fact, by the time we reach 100 more degrees, the closeness to the Sun would be more of a problem. We've already seen the Ice Age melt becuase temperatures increased, and there was no industrialization back then, so yeah this is more of a problem than global warming.
Why do we make these excuses, just so we can put something off that has adverse affects? 2 or 3 degrees may not sound a lot to you in a warm climate, but in the extremes, the polar ice caps, that's where the temperature change will affect it the most.
Gee, Akatsuki sure is blind to sarcasm.
Why do people get so pissy to those that are trying to help this earth? YOu're all minimalizing the problem, it is in fact a very big issue. Akatsuki, as a 13 year old, you cannot begin to fathom the complexity of the system, and how easily it can go out of balance. So instead of just writing off something you don't understand as 'bogus', try to learn the science and see for yourself if it really is bogus, or you have been blinded.
Did you know that glaciers are melting at an ALARMING rate? You may write this off and try to minimalize it, but if we do nothing at this point in time, I can assure you, we WILL regret it, as will our subsequent generations.
So what's your problem with people who are being environmentally active?
I have no problem, and I actually like it when people try to help the environment.
The sea level has only risen about 120 meters in the past 18,000 years. That's, on an estimate, about 350 - 450 feet. That is alot, even worse for Venice. (which sinks 5 inches a year) Still, that isn't all that has to do with it:
*Earthquakes
*Tsunamis
*Plates (the geologic kind) shift around and move coasts
*Earth drifts closer to Sun.
*Extreme Weather
*Rivers emptying water into oceans)
Also, in case you haven't noticed, coasts have EXPANDED since 5,000 years ago, especially in China, the Persian Gulf, and Italy. Originally where Shanghai (China's largest city) is today was an ocean. Ironic, isn't it?
They would melt anyway, you know. The Ice Age ice caps melted without industrialization, and temperatures were alot colder back then. The Earth has drifted towards the Sun slowly, and this is one thing we can never stop. Although in the Ice Age the ice was much closer to where the Sun shines on the Earth, (the equator area) it still melted, and I believe that, as we drift towards the Sun, ice inevitably melt.
Also, two things unrelated:
1. I can tell sarcasm, but ut's harder on a computer and the way Commodore said it suggested that Commodore thought all scientists believed in global warming.
2. A warning for cussing. It was also a bad idea to insult a member, (me) no matter who it was.
Fine, no real scientist doubts Global Warming.
And I did not flame you. I was merely pointing out the extreme hubris of a thirteen year-old student claiming to know better than people who've devoted their entire lives to stuff like this.
Actually, it was JQ who flamed.
Could you care to point it out, please? Because I do not see it.
QuoteWhy do people get so pissy to those that are trying to help this earth?
Cussing is against the rules.
QuoteGee, Akatsuki sure is blind to sarcasm.
So is insulting members.
>_<
I don't believe I swore OR insulted you. However, it seems apparent that your little thread has caused injury, I suggest it be locked immediately.
But until then, are we so blind and oblivious? In the course of 5000 years, a big thing happened slowly. But in the course of a decade, a big thing is happening rapidly. MAJOR difference.
Blame everything for an excuse, and blame your own follies to your own excuses. This is not meant as an insult, it is a commentary on human nature.
But it seems that you're getting angry at it anyway. A 13 year old makes a point against something people have dedicated their entire lifetimes to. To me, that is an insult to every dedicated scientist on this planet. The nature of science is to explain and understand. Not to go about as some politically rampant people. If their results and quantities tell us that something bad is happening, then it is best that we heed their warning, rather than suffer a horrible fate.
And that word is not a swear, it is not even used as one. It is used as an adjective.
oh no...please no fighting people...can't we just express our opinions without going out of control?
also, I would like to add that the sun is getting hotter as it ages...that contributes too. Basically, I am just going to have the standpoint that yes it is bad, but it's nothing to worry about because I'm christian so I believe the world won't end that way. and if it does, so what, I go to heaven.
I believe the scientists are right that we should cut down on greenhouse gases as much as possible, but I don't think it will be as catastrophic as some people make it out to be.
and it doesn't matter how old Akatsuki is, a 13 year old could have more insight than a 40 year old.

I'll give you the swearing part, but I think that the warning for insulting is kind of odd. Zelda Veteran has made the same remark to me a few times.
Also, I'm not liking all this fighting, I'd try to calm down on this.
yes, this has been a very touchy topic for this forum...I don't like all the fighting...
The last time I checked, piss and different forms of the word is cussing.

No. That only happens when the topic becomes useless or when a major flame war begins there. Neither happened yet.
QuoteBlame everything for an excuse, and blame your own follies to your own excuses. This is not meant as an insult, it is a commentary on human nature.
I agree people do that. Take McDonalds for example. Someone eats alot of food there and gets fat and/or sick. They don't want responsibility, so they sue. It's THEIR fault for eating it if they knew it would happen and saw it happening.
QuoteBut it seems that you're getting angry at it anyway. A 13 year old makes a point against something people have dedicated their entire lifetimes to.
Do you really think I'm the only person who does anything like this? Every day people criticizes something and the people who like/follow/etc. that something. Take right now, you're criticizing my opinion and I'm critisizing your opinion of my opinion. Terrorists are criticisized for their beliefs, and Muslim terrorists in turn critisize Christianity and Judeisam.(I know I spelled it worng, sorry) People of one religion criticize other ones, and vice versa. Human Emotions are one of the things I predict will corrupt the planet, leading to disputes and wars. This is inevitable, and, as much as anyone hates to admit it, is true. Also, that wasn't a confession.
Also, about the coastal thing, at least in the Gulf did it in about 50 turn into it's original shape to what it is now. China's coast increased by over 200 miles in about 400 years. Yes, this is a completely small thing. ::) Italy only moved forward a tiny bit, but the peninsula did change. The Netherlands has always constantly changed coasts, mainly becuase of it's major flat surface.
Wait, sorry that took so long, I was halfway into the post when I had dinner. Ironically, halfway through a recording call about global warming came to us. ;)
And yes, I would like it if we could stop, please. I only stated my opinion, I'm not insulting you.
Okaaaaaaaaaaay...
You know what would be nice? Having a list of words that are BANNED. Saying them would merit a warning, but using ways to disguise the spelling wouldn't.
Humans have already corrupted the planet. The scientists stand right in the middle, and either side goes about against them, even though their the ones who are most sane.
And this has sort of turned into a flame war, as demonstrated by Shikamaru's sign of distress.
EGADS!!!DISTRESS!!!
Yes, this seems to be a very bad topic to discuss, it is turning into a flame war, as Pickwick said...and a ban list would be very nice, I am very hesitant to type certain thigns because I am not sure how they will be taken...jokes, for one...
Let's keep our head now and respect the opposing opinions.
I for one am not too sure of Global Warming and whatnot. There is tons of evidence against it and tons supporting it, so I just can't tell.

Oh, please. Do you really not see the difference between a thirteen year-old student and a scientist who's dedicated in this particular field? It may sound elitist, but you can't seriously tell me he knows just as much about Global Warming as them?
Insight isn't the same as knowledge.Insight is how you think, you make up your own reasons, not stuff you read in a book. Einstein had an incredible amount of insight, he thought up crazy stuff.
and yes, for all we know, he could be an expert at global warming. It isn't impossible for him to read up on it.
I'm an expert on history! ;D I'm a major history buff! ;)
I'm also rather insane sometimes, believe it or not... ::)
And, this should be ironic to you, but Einstien actually flunked at math, for those who don't know. :o Yet he came up with the lightbulb and recording machines, E=MC2, and the atom bomb idea.

you know what, I was actually going to say that in my post to back you up, but I couldn't think of a way to link it without making my english teacher cry,so I didn't. Yes, everybody said Einstein was crazy, because they couldn't even fathom what went on in his mind. He didn't discover the formula for total energy by knowing stuff, he discovered it by thinking.
Well, I mean, it is possible for Akatsuki to be just a credible, I mena, he can find out both sides of the story from the radio, Internet, and the TV.
Even geniuses have had help solving something. Research is that help.
No, seriously, I'm a history buff!

Here's the thing though, it was THOMAS EDISON that invented the lightbulb and recording machine. He also invented about 3000 other things too.
Albert Einstein was not an inventor; he was a physicist.
Of course, an insightful person shows an awareness of what's going on around him, an awareness to the deepest level and ability to understand how each affects their own and possesses the ability to give wisdom rather than to deny its existence.
oh yeah, I didn't catch the lightbulb and recording parts or I would have figured that out...did you know that when Einstein was in an insane asylum he put together an amp system for a guitar and strummed it really loud? ;Dthey threw him out and he had to move to another asylum.
Let me say this is a touchy topic. I think most of us could agree to lock this, because when people start fighting, even the smallest bit, it gives people different ideas about other members. Also, nobody is really right here. Until we all die from something like this, nobody will really know who is right. The way I see it, its better not to take chances.
As long as we do our best to take care of the only planet we have, we'll all be okay. And yeah, I'm really going to love me grand-children, so I would like to be able to do something about this. If we get anymore bad will towards members this is going to be locked. Are we clear? And thats a wonderful idea JQ, we really should have a list of words that arent allowed to be said. However, that would require to say everyone in order to point out what to say. If we do end up making a list, we'll have to stick in the "How bout some rules?" topic in the Announcements thread.
Sorry, their names both begin with E and confuse me sometimes. :-*
I'm insightful peron in history according to your definition then, JQ. It's my favorite subject, and I buy history books alot. :-* I've memorized all of WWII, most of WWI, alot of the Cold War, British Empire, Exploration and Colonial Eras, and am very good at Roman Empire collaspes period, the Crusades, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, and am interested in Communist China and North Korea, Middle Ages, Native Americans south of central Mexico, Mongol Empire, and Medieval African trading nations, like Songhay.
Also, I would like to say this, it turns out that people actually sailed to the Americas and used the Land Bridge of Beringia. Proof? A small discovered village in central Chile is 12,500 years old, while the oldest one in North America, in Pennsylvania, is 12,000 years old. Also, Chinese style anchors have been found on the coast of Baja California, an area in Mexico. This proves that people reached the Americas before the Vikings (I consider Greenland part of the Americas, and they did land on Canada's coasts) and that Beringia was not the only way to get to the Americas.
Of course there were people in america before the vikings. How else would all those native american cultures develop.
And the land bridge I'm thinking about, the one that connects America with Asia, is over the Siberian sea, to the west of alaska.
Umm, by that I meant that people 'discovered' the Americas before the Vikings, you misinterpreted it.
And yes, that is where the land bridge is, along with the Bering Sea.
Isn't it the Bering Strait? The area were the land brdige was is a strait, not a sea.
It's big enough to be a sea, and the straits connecting the Meditteranean and Black Seas is considered a sea, despite how it's almost microscopic.
Size actually has nothing to do with whether or not it is a sea. Lake Michigan is bigger than like 11 seas.>_>
I suggest some of you see An Inconveniant Truth. Don't say its all a lie, because its not and you probably haven't seen it thoroughly if you say so. >_> If we keep at this rate we all die in 50 years. And I'm not kidding either. There will no doubt be some change, but it will still not be enough.
Thats a bit of an exaggeration. I mean, Global Warming will hurt us alot, but no, we will not all die from it. We will, however, be severely hindered and possibly destroy our planet. But we won't all drop dead from Global Warming. if you go that from an Inconvenient Truth, that's bull.
If I stayed where I am for the next 50 years and nothing is done about it, I'm dead.
I live in one of the most vulnerable areas for flooding because of global warming (sea levels rising).
London is probably going to be underwater in about 75 years, and though I am far from the patriotic type I don't wan't that happening. You can't deny the world is heating up and the polar ice caps are melting.
Okay, answer me this, then:
How did the ice from the Ice Age, even though it was mych cooler than and there was more ice, melted?
Temperatures were FAR cooler back then. The Ice did melt. You say I overlook things, right? Well, despite no global warming and less temperatures, the gigantinc amount of Ice melted. What does it mean? The ice will melt anyway, the Earth drifts towards the Sun, and global warming is not the only cause. People only think that because of how that is the most immediate answer.
I admit, the ice would melt less without global warming, but it isn't the only problem. There are many others with the same affect.
The thing you don't understand is that the earth is heating at a much faster rate than at the end of the Ice Age.
And that's not to mention the fact that there hasn't even been another Ice Age since the last one, so saying the earth is heating up again is not a good thing.
Also, the oceans is a gigantic place. If one very large iceberg the size of Florida, for example, melts, the sea level would rise, NOT one area. It would probably rise 1-5 inches around the world immediately. It seems like alot, but it isn't. There are not icebergs Florida sized, I think, and the only one big enough, the Artic Ocean, is too big to melt quick enough. The world rises 4 inches a year on average. 75 x 4 = 300 inches = 25 feet.
The most the world sea level has increased the since the industrial revolution is 33 feet. We're not in as much danger as we think.
Yeah, London IS in danger. ::) VENICE is in more danger, it rises 5 inches a year, and is entirely in water, and is so very tiny. England is a big area on a big island. Sea levels, I think, cannot move upstream. London is inland, so the coast would be in much more danger.

Okay, answer me this, then:
How did the ice from the Ice Age, even though it was mych cooler than and there was more ice, melted?
Then, we did not have recorded history. Back then, we did not have a will to try to make as many live as possible. Back then, we were not responsible for the ice age ending. Back then, we would have adapted to the land being covered with the seas. But as things stand now, we HAVE to preserve this. If we don't, not only do we lose everything that we are familiar with, we lose much physical aspects, we could very well lose much of what stands as our history today.
Do you really think that one inch or one foot is small? To you, one inch is like one degree. Our environment and weather are very delicate systems. And 30 feet IS a lot. Flooding CAN move upstream because it doesn't matter if it's upstream or downstream. What matters is the elevation of the area. And a 30 feet increase in height can do a LOT.
For example, in the state where I live in, NC, the islands along the coast get battered each year by hurricanes. More and more flooding and it gets wiped away. The importance is in SEA LEVEL. Did you know that a lot of florida is very VERY close to sea level? there aren't any mountains - no hills, no anything. The highest point in Florida is only about 350 feet high. I know, because I was born and lived there for 9 years and I remember.

Okay firstly I live on the coast. As on the coast as you can get.
Venice is a city in Italy and yes has many water ways, but when have I ever said London would be underwater before Venice. I don't mean London is the only place in danger, you if anything are just proving the point of how many places are in danger.
And by the way London has a huge river running through the middle of it.
I'd just like to throw this in here and say this:
Scientists have indeed driled won into the Antarctic ice, which preserves everything through the centuries. If the data collected from the ice is correct, we have done absolutely nothing wrong. The Earth has repeatedly, before man even walked the earth, warmed up intensely and quickly, and cooled off intensely and quickly.
QuoteAnd by the way London has a huge river running through the middle of it.
Really? I didn't know. *sarcasm* ::)
Where did you think the up-river thing came from.
And yes, Venice is in far more danger of rising sea levels than any toehr part of the world. It's one of the only places that are trully in danger. Too bad, it is a very beautiful city.
Now back up a second. Too bad? How could you say that when all those lives and history are in grave danger?
they won't suddenly be swallowed up you know. They will be able to escape.
But the history that is kept there wont be able to escape, now will it?
well...if we start working now we can keep it in a biodome. Then eventually it will be like Atlantis. How cool would that be?!?!?
Well, I supose that would be pretty cool...

Yeah, because it's the only city right near the ocean. *rolls eyes*
Venice was built on a series of islands, on a whole, a lagoon. Already, we have engineering that prevents some of the flooding, via dikes. Dikes, if you know, are also used in the netherlands because a great deal of the Netherlands is under sea level.
And let's not forget the fact that like two thirds of the worlds population is within 100 miles of an ocean. Could be closer to half, but still...
Like NYC, it would be doomed, and that would cost the government (maybe the world) billions of dollars.

Very well said, I couldn't have put it better...
The only thing that landwise connects Venice to the land is a very old bridge the Austrians built when they ruled Venice. Venice is several tiny islands, and sea levels rise there more than usual.
No, Shikamaru, we cannot build a dome thing over it.
It is nearly impossible to move Venice's history. Venice was a major cultural center during Medieval Europe and the Renassaince. It was once one of the most powerful seapowers in Europe, and controlled the Spice Trade to Europe before people sailed around Africa. Venice is one of the most popular tourist attractions through-out Southern Europe, mabye one of the most popular in Europe itself. Moving Venice's histroy is like moving the Sun, impossible.
And no, I've never been there, but it is very beautiful.
Also, just look at any descent map of Italy and you'll see it's IN the Bay of Venice, not on the coast of the bay.
Global warming is a threat. Although we can't stop it, we have to slow it down. I don't know if the world will be underwater within the next 50 - 100 years, but yeah, that rapid ice melting isn't helping anything, is it? Hopefully sometime soon we can reduce our use of fossil fuels, dramatically. Ethanol would be a much better fuel if we could find a good way to use it; it is renewable and burns cleaner.
I think scientists are working on a way to use fusion as fuel.
It'll be a while before we have fusion powered vehicles, let alone fission.
P.S. Your sig and my avatar should be friends. ;D
If, by any way not just by global warming, the earth's overall temperature raises by 6 degrees, people will be incinerated where they stand and fireballs will rain down.
True fact people. Got it from Times2.
People will incinerate and fireballs will rain down from heaven....
And you got this from where? Becuase that doesnt even sound possible.
I think she was being sarcastically ironic. Or Ironically sarcastic. I forgot the difference.
I think that global warming is a problem but it's not entirely our fault. I too am 13 and im an average student. Im not going to try to convince you with fancy words but think about it, it's a FACT that the sun gets hotter as time flys. And we wont have to seriously worry about this for awhile. Right now people blame throwing a cup out the window of their car, global warming. Which is not true. A single cup sitting in the sun until some1 picks it up is not going to kill our planet. I think it will become a problem since people don't realize that our overpopulation is slowly causing us to destroy what nature we have left. I think we just need to stop trying to convince ourself that we are the problem. Back in the ice-age the ice caps melted without our help. So they most likely do the same thing again but we might be asisting it a bit.
While I'm not going to diasgree with you or agree with you, it is indeed a fact that the sun gets warmer as time goes by. As the sun converts hydrogen to helium and realeases nuclear energy, it gets hotter and hotter. Hence the reason scientists estimate that in 2 billion year, Earth will be uninhabitable.
But to use the sun as a scapegoat for current matters is a very shallow attempt at avoidance. The sun won't grow so hot in 50-100 years as to increase global warming. The temperature changes solely because of the sun are completely negligable. Earth's area in space on the other hand... and let's not forget our screwed up atmosphere.
Which is also a good point. The whole thing with the sun wrming up takes place on a scale of MILLIONS of years. So, yes, to use it as an excuse for current change would be foolish.

No this is like
way in the future but if the pola ice caps keep melting the sea will absorb all the heat instead of reflecting it as the ice did. This heats it up and a gas deep inside the earth (can't remember which) will start spewing out. If when this comes into the air it hits a spark it will form a fireball-like reaction etc.

Wow. And you actually believe this? This is isn't going to happen, rest assured.
Hmph. Well I thought it all sounded rather exciting.
But I'll have no fear with you on the Murder Scene
My friend is convinced that Global Warming isn't gonna happen, she watched a programme about it.
She is convinced cutting Carbon emmissions is all a government ploy to stop small countries developing too much.
I laughed when she said that, and then I realised she totally believed it.
No, but really....that whole fireball thing is not going to happen, ever. Physics disporve it. (and heaven can also mean "the sky". It doesnt mean heaven, literally)
