Global Warming is an International Issue Options

[makhussy]

Global Warming - The average facade temperature of the globe has augmented more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the speed of warming has been almost three folds the century long average since 1970. This increase in earth’s average temperature is called Global warming.

Here are a few things to note:

The past 100 years we've been coming out of a mini ice age.
Mount Pinatubo erupted about twenty years ago putting more particles into the air than man had since the start of the Industrial Revolution. We must be of major consequence! I mean, the earth only has a volcano once in a thousand years erupt and there are no other natural occurrences that could impact the atmosphere!
We as man would be incredibly arrogant to think we could change the atmosphere of the planet based on industry here and there.
Some places are getting colder, must be global warming.
Cycles. The earth goes through cycles of warmth and cold. This has been happening since we can date back, and it's not about to change.

Another thing that's kinda a fun fact? Idk:

Say the earth gets warmer. Say ice caps start melting. That's cold water that's going to be moving south and north from the north pole and south pole respectively. That cold water will act as a sort of barrier that's expanding from the poles, and will alter the currents in the atlantic, pacific, indian, etc. When the currents change, lots of things change, notably weather. The earth will in turn stop sending warmer currents/air fronts far south and north, and then the area will get colder again! When it gets colder, the ice re-freezes, the currents return to normal, the air goes back to normal, rinse repeat?

actually, the evidence is very clear in demonstrating that our co2 output is changing the atmosphere, & rapidly. our pollution is very aggressive & is upsetting the balance of nature (this is what is most important, the actual disruption of the natural cycles of the earth). &, since everything in nature is so intimately connected, each area of mistreatment (from the destruction of natural rivers, deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels, and the poisoning of water supply) exasperates problems all over the globe.

read this: http://www.skepticalscience.com/human-co2-...l-emissions.htm

"As for human CO2 emissions, about 40% is being absorbed, mostly by the oceans. The rest remains in the atmosphere. As a consequence, atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level over the past 800,000 years (Brook 2008). A natural change of 100ppm takes 5,000 to 20,000 years. The recent increase of 100ppm has taken just 120 years."

"Emissions of CO2 by human activities are currently more than 130 times greater than the quantity emitted by volcanoes, amounting to about 27 billion tonnes per year." [1]



there is no precedent for this sort of rapid and trending atmospheric co2 increase. we know that co2 increases warm the globe. we know that the globe is warming. we know that we are putting out a significant amount of co2 & upsetting the earth's natural recycling of co2 & making the earth less capable of dealing with co2 by the force of environmental destruction (specifically deforestation). placing significant restrictions on our greenhouse output, preventing further environmental devastation, and supporting environmental reconstruction can help to reverse this trend.
