Global climate change is a myth

Tinydancer · Guru

Global climate change is definitely not a myth. The earth's climate has changed lots of times. What is a myth is that people are causing it. Also, what about last winter? Record breaking snow amounts but what did that prove.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

What tiny said, Dona we have plenty of thunderstorms this time of year. Perhaps you were too young to remember. We also have had winters where temps were in the 50 and 60's over the past 50+ years and so on.

Yeah, pollution is just a myth as well.

Tinydancer · Guru

We're talking climate change not pollution. No one disputes pollution. Do you have a point?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

It's absolutely a myth. And, oh yeah weather changes. Film at 11. But, then they say "oh the weather is not an indication, except when it suits their agenda, then it is".

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Pollution has NO effect on the atmosphere? The two are not related in ANY way???

flan

Tinydancer · Guru

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

We don't have a pollution problem. Probably because there are no factories left anyway and your wonderful politicians and Nanny govt has allowed our businesses to move overseas so that everyone can barely survive. But, hey no pollution who cares if we have jobs and can feed our families!

Cows create ton's of pollution. Are they changing the climate?

Any one with a brain can see this is simply a new tool of Govt Control and oppression. By controlling "carbon" and creating mass hysteria, you now get more control over people's lives. Duh.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

We have thunderstorms off and on all through the winter.

And I remember Christmases when we've worn shorts to granny's house and had to open doors and windows.

Humans do the least damage to climate.

Between decomposition, volcanoes, and swamps, we are like a drop in the ocean.

In the 60'same it was the earth is going into another ice age because of pollution.

Cows have been around for a LOT longer than cars & factories...

Yes but they were always causing pollution so they should have been changing the climate according to you.

How many cows are there in America? How many cars?

Back at ya. You should really learn to not take everything so damn personal. It's like you go out of your way to be offended when others disagree.

In the 1500's the Spaniards arrived into San Pedro Bay (near Los Angeles) and called it the Bay of Smoke. I doubt car emissions had anything to do with it.

The Earth has undergone climate change since it's formation. This is nothing new.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

According to the USDA, NASS (National Ag Statistics Sevices) there were 30,086,000 beef cows and 9,085,000 dairy cows in the United States on Jan 1, 2011.

This graph shows the number of vehicles registered in the United States from 1990 through 2013. Some 256 million vehicles were registered here in 2013. The figures include passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. U.S. vehicle registrations.

At one time there were more buffalo in the US than cars on the road now. Buffalo also release methane in copious amounts. There has always been pollution.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

As of 2012 the Department of Energy projected United States' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the US energy industry to drop 28 percent from its 2007 value by 2030, due to the recession and the hydraulic fracturing boom in natural gas which releases less carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere than coal or oil.[1]

I don't know whether or not humans are causing it.

I just think it's absurd to think that recycling a few cans or whatever is going to undo, or even slow down, nearly 300 years of industrialization.

All I heard in the 80s was how my hairspray was going to eat the ozone and we would all be burned by the sun.

Aerosol anything was going to be the death of us all.

Well, we're all still here.

I guess humans caused the ice age too?

It's arrogant of us to think we have so much control over this amazing planet.

Ohfour · Hooker

Seriously...
They tried to indoctrinate us 40-somethings that the world was cooling and the ozone layer was breaking apart.
The difference was that we were smart enough not to believe it. No true with the current generation. They Have no concept of independent thinking.

Independent thinking? I call it complete and utter rejection of science....kind of like evolution.

The entire planet believes that the planet is warming, with the subsequent weather extremes that follow. Except for the American Evangelical Right.

It's a most peculiar phenomenon.

Tinydancer · Guru

There are numerous scientist who believe it's false. If they can't decide then why do you know better?

Ohfour · Hooker

Just like they believed the world was cooling in the 70s and 80s. Al Gore and many scientists said we wouldnt have ice caps in 2015. Yet, we still have ice caps. So science isnt always right, now is it?

What about them? The left are the ones pushing for a One World Order. I don't care that they are too stupid to think for themselves.

One erupting volcano dumps more carbon and other toxic pollutants into the atmosphere in one day, then the entire human population dumps into the atmosphere in one year. That is science. Look it up.

Scientist have proven that baby that's killed in an abortion is a baby yet those who are for abortion pretend it's a clump of cells. So I guess proof is in the eye of the beholder.

China? I asked you to back up your statement of America doing more than all others.

Tell me what America has done that's easing the situation more than other countries.

"China has smog" isn't an answer.

Why do you believe one set of scientists is right while conveniently skipping over the fact that there are many who think it's junk science?

You conveniently ignored the fact that the ice caps are getting smaller.
