Global Warming is Confirmed

Dont even try argue this.

Im in Geology, and Geography.

The hole is up there not from cows or rice, its because of the wind patterns, and where it all accumulates.

It all accumulates at the poles, because thats the way it is directed to go.


And face it, in the past 200 years, We as people, have affected the earth, and the earth's ozone, than Earth has been affected over all of its 4 billion years.

Im sure cows and rice have been around for more than 200 years. And im sure there are Cows and Rice in places other than China.

Oh gee, my bad. In that case, I won't argue it. I'm sure your Geography teacher knows for a fact how the Earth works and knows for a fact that we are the sole reasons for global warming.

I'll keep my mouth shut then, because you obviously have it figured out.

You want to throw around facts? I went to an engineering presentation where a study was taken with temperatures taken around the world for some 50 years and then averaged together for a mean temperature of the earth at those times. The graph showed steady variations in temperatures, up AND down, over the whole time. There was no steady increase that global warming nuts are talking about.

But, I'm sure that that was just a lie or fabricated...

And, like I have said, I'm not suggesting we just pollute indescriminetely, but I think forced measures like the Kyoto treaty, which don't hold really big polluters like China accountable (which, besides what I have already said, also burns a lot of coal now), is not the right way to go. People, in general, want where they live to be clean, so if everyone took responcibility for their own lives, then I feel that is being responcible.

It is my feeling that we as humans are so insignificant to the earth that we cannot harm it. It can take care of itself. Does anyone think it slightly ridiculous that something as powerful as the Earth that has lasted for 4 billion years can all of a sudden be killed by 200 measly years of meddling by humans? I think not.

Global warming rather frightens me.

I think we all need to make an effort to stop polluting. Don't think just because you're one person you can't make a difference. If everyone thinks like that, nothing gets done.

I recycle and don't drive. I'm doing my part. I hope all of you do yours.

(not that I'm saying don't drive)

The point is that humans burn fossil fuels and thereby input CO2 into the atmosphere. Cows and ricefields ( ) only recycle it.

Wood is a 'clean' fuel, because trees absorb CO2 from the air and put it in the wood (sorry, dunno the proper English terms) which we burn again. So it's a closed cycle.
