Why cant people come to terms the climate changes?

[westwall]

The earth has "flipped" magnetic poles many many MANY times. Only the scientists notice.

There is no such thing as man cause global warming. If anything we are entering a period of minima and it will get quite cold.

Only scientist noticed?

You should of told that to the creatures living at the time....

It wasn't a good day for them.

Pole shifts have no measurable effect on plant or animal life.

So you are certain about that?
I see two camps



What If Earth's Magnetic Poles Flip?



Valet agrees that a weak magnetic field could lead to the formation of ozone holes. He wrote a paper last year proposing a direct link between the demise of Neanderthals, our evolutionary cousins, and a significant decrease of the geomagnetic field intensity that occurred exactly at the same period. (That time, the lead-up to a geomagnetic reversal appears to have been "aborted"; the field weakened but didn't end up flipping.)

Other scientists aren't convinced that there's a connection between pole reversals and species extinctions. "Even if the field becomes very weak, at the Earth's surface we are shielded from radiation by the atmosphere. Similarly as we cannot see or feel the presence of the geomagnetic field now, we most likely would not notice any significant change from a reversal," Korte said.

The poles have flipped countless times (on average every 200,000 years IIRC)over the last 10 million years. Guess what. Nothing happened.

Agian I provided a link, you provided an opinion.

What's up with you thinking the poles shifting has no effect? It has been documented a few times that extinctions have taken place at the same time.

Correlation does not equal causation. The flips are relatively rapid but the extinctions have taken at least a million years in most cases. Even the asteroid theory die off took around a million years. There were multiple pole reversals in that time frame. Your link is a computer model. I hate to tell you but computer models are not data. They are a science fiction story and nothing more.

Why can't they deal with extinction ?
Why can't they comprehend human civilization was born at the right time period?
Why do people think we have the technology today to stop the inevitable?

So many questions on why they think we can do the impossible.

We can't stop a killer asteroid
We can't stop a super volcano like yellow stone from blowing
We can't stop the earth flipping on it's axis.

Please someone tell me how we can stop climate change?

I never could get that one.

Okay, I have come to terms with it. I've come to terms with the fact that the planet changes, that climate changes etc. What I can't come to terms with is that human will destroy their habitat willingly because they're selfish.

You go to poor places and see people living among trash and wonder how they can do this, they live in this place. But then again this is the same as what those who want to destroy the planet are doing.

I don't see anywhere in the U.S. that is trying to destroy it except in the inner city's, we already have so many codes and regulations against business they are fine.

If your talking the world the only thing that looks like it works is capitalism and burning the hell out of our fossil fuel till every country gets on a even keel.and New technology can replace it.

400 ppm C02 is nothing, if you triple it your still 800 ppm behind when the dinosaur roamed and they were fine.

Eh? We're not talking business.

New technology might be able to replace that old fossil fuel technology. Question is, we will survive until that point?

It has. It's not exactly affordable for most just yet, but that's coming. We'll definitely survive that long. LOL

Not affordable for most, like, almost all. And at present the oceans are overly saturated with CO2, the air has too much, and at some point it could simply go wrong.

What has?

And be specific..

Electric motors are over a hundred fifty years old plus.

Wind mills like 800 years old

Where did you see it was a computer model?

Lets see if the poles shifted today you really think I wouldn't notice?

I would be driving along in my dodge ram or Ford F150 and look at digital compass and say WTF?

Yes, other than North becoming South, what would happen?

What about birds? Kind of chilly for them flying to the north pole for the winter?

I thought almost all creatures had a compass

(Except us guys we never know where we are at)

Good question. Let's look it up.

I found this answer on Quora.


Rakesh Kumar Verma, I am working on time.
Written 30 Apr 2015
If earth magnetic field reversed. It will not affect bird migration.
Because bird already Travels in both direction with season change.
So they follow magnetic field only not magnetic field directions.

I'm not sure that's the best answer, but we can keep looking.

An article here http://phys.org/news/2014-03-poles-flip.html says they've found no connection between pole reversals and mass extinctions. So, that's good, but a little too broad for your question. Let's keep looking.

Here's a general discussion that says migrating birds have back up mechanisms. It also states that during the transition, the Earth will go through a period when it will have many poles. Lost in migration: Earth's magnetic field overdue a flip

So, it kinda looks as if no one knows for sure.

Humans won't go extinct because of climate change. We are resilient bastards.

Still, even if we do, so what. I have yet to hear a convincing argument that humanity is really great. We are talking, clever apes. Nothing more.
