The idea that humans can significantly impact carbon dioxide levels on earth to the point where it causes a significant increase in global temperatures independent of all other factors is just way too far fetched for me. How long have we, as humans, been tracking the earth's temperature? 100, maybe 150 years? And how accurate were those reading 100 years ago, even 50 years ago?
Do people realize that the earth formed over 4 billion years ago and was once a conglomeration of molten lava? If you divide 100 by 4,000,000,000, we've been monitoring global temperatures for 0.0000025% of the earth's life. If you compare that to an 80 year old human's lifespan, it would be like like taking their temperature for 1 minute.
I'm all for science of every kind but let's not jump to conclusions so quickly. And if green energy is all that and a bag of chips, surely it can stand on it's own alongside traditional methods.
WOW. I forget what earlier period in the earths history saw man bring up billions of pounds of coal, oil and gas, burn them and release the gases produced into the atmosphere. When have we done that before? And what happened when we did that?
Oh and combine the burning of those fuels with the depletion of the forests that have always acted as huge carbon traps.
You tell me when those acts occured in the past and what the outcome was cause I sure am curious.
Or maybe you think there is just a big ole chimmney up in the sky sucking all those bad gases right out into space. Is that it?
