Re: Anthropogenic Atrocities Right Under Our Noses
Maybe you should actually do your own research instead of using the weather report from your local news service. If you bothered to read my post you'd understand.
I also don't drive an SUV, and find them to be a waste for 99% of people who buy them, but we live in a free society, so who am I to judge.
Bottom line is (if you read my post) the temp of the earth right now is actually 20 - 30 degrees cooler than it has been on average in the last 542,000,000 years. I understand that CO2 is a product of human fossil fuel burning processes, and that it does add to the overall effect of global warming. But I also know that we aren't the only cause (or even the main cause). CO2 is a byproduct of a lot of processes on this planet, including decomposition. CO2 is also not the only contributing factor of global warming...in fact global warming is actually the effect of the sun's heat being reflected back down onto the surface of the earth (clouds are actually a huge factor in this as well).
If you also read my post you'll understand that this happens on an almost perfectly timed cycle. Earth heats up, then cools, so on and so on. It has happened well over 12 times in the known geologic history of the Earth...and probably happened many times before that.
The entire known anthropologic history of human existence (40,000 - 100,000 years depending on which scientist you ask) is only a small sliver of Earth's history. So how can you buy into all the hype about human destruction of the Earth, knowing that science has already proven that this is just part of Earth's natural cycle?
Do your own research and put the Earth's ~4billion year history into perspective compared to your (and most 'scientists' on the payroll) small and limited perspective of the last few thousand years. The Earth was around a long time before the burning of fossil fuels began, and was actually 20 degrees (F) warmer in the few million years before the industrial revolution even began. There was the "small ice age" around the 16th and 17th centuries, but other than that we're actually cooler now than we've been historically dating back hundreds of millions of years.
And I don't need a PhD to be able to ask the right questions, do my own research, and not listen to anyone on either side of this huge debate...I don't need anyone to tell me the truth when I can find it on my own.
