wow, some smart and funny stuff here ;]
anyway, if will survive 100-200 years, we will be enough technologically advanced, to hgandle anything, even global warming …
Haha nice one, the maps in that video looked quite well made.
it’s actaully going down, because of nobody driving cuz of economy
i’il empty my testicles in a box from now on , thank you
Its still Natural none the less. and its still happening. Not driving and taking care of the earth as best we can won’t stop it either. We don’t have the technology to combat natural gases such as the ones all creatures create by flatulance. In the end, we’re screwed.
The earth survived this long. In the end, the earth will find some way to balance things out, humans will build some machines that will help them survive whatever changes the earth makes, and we’ll move on to explore other worlds once our technology gets up that far.
Very very true, it really doesn’t. Nature and ecosystems don’t need our help in fixing themselves. However, I’m more concerned with how we’re going to fair. I really wish all those people proclaiming about how bad our animals or oceans and what have you are going to suffer and just be honest that all we’re really worried about, and should be, is US and how we’re going to be effected by the changes.
If we aren’t a part of nature as they say, we need to provide protect for our own (read: our species) rather than worrying about animals that aren’t particularly greatly important to our ecosystem services (read: species and ecosystems that are not of great importance to our survival).
Of course, how to determine what is or is not important to us is the difficulty…
No, but it means we don’t have to fix it.
nose haet polurbaers[/SIZE]
So now we are waiting for Combine and Seven Hour War?
There are things that need much more attention than Global warming. By itself, global warming means that perhaps netherlands gets washed away, and people in India or Malaysia or Indonesia will drown, but that’s about it. They shouldn’t have lived there in the first place.
What’s troubling me is that absolutely needlessly, we are destroying the “Lungs of the Planet” – the South American rainforest, to get fertile land for cosmetics crops, which very quickly make the land unfertile, so yet another part of the rainforest has to be chopped down to make more ground. This way, we are destroying the greatest oxygen producing “factory” of the planet, and that’s something we will all regret in the future.
“They shouldn’t have lived there in the first place.”?
How would you like it if people started saying that if a comet crashed on wherever you live?
If I’m not mistaken, algae produce the most net oxygen. The rainforest sucks most of what it puts out up again at night. Which isn’t to say we’re still losing a very valuable part of the planet of course.
I find it strange how nobody seems to care that our rainforests are being cut down (I said seems, doesn’t mean they actually don’t care >.>) And yet when global warming comes into play everybody freaks out like its the end of the world.
Rainforests play a very important part as it gives us oxygen, and takes the carbon Dyoxide that we breathe out. Every plant does that, Yet man see’s fit to cut down such a valuable resource so they can farm, make paper, expand a city, ect.
It’s all politics and media. Same with the nonexistant bond between vidyagames and violence.
Politics go “We gon do sumthin aboot dat so vote us bitches” and media’s all like “OH FUCK IT DONT DO NUTHIN LETS TALK ABOUT IT FOR WEEKS!!”
Yes. You clearly need to do some more research on that.
Algae is the word you’re looking for here.
Also bear in mind that young, growing forest uses up heaps more oxygen than the rainforest as it now stands.
I’m quite confused here.
It seems like a lot of ignorant people are yelling that everyone else is ignorant for no other reason than the climate changes once in a while.
And also people are saying that forests do more harm than good, and that algae are the things that give us all oxygen. Now - please correct me if I’m wrong, and I’ll stand down - both algae and trees take up oxygen. They also give out oxygen that they haven’t used.
So that’s that out of the way.
Humanity has is undoubtedly partly responsible for climate change: the amount of carbon we produce isn’t as much as volcanoes etc, but we produce it continually. It does add up, and it does have an effect, namely raising the temperature of the planet: it’s rudimentary science, and I’ll explain if asked.
The temperature raise has an effect all over, as it effects whether systems and the general climate.
You can’t leave it to the grandchildren, because we are already feeling some effects now. For example, when I’m 80 (2070-ish), it’s fairly likely that the transatlantic current will stop flowing causing Britain to have similar weather to Russia.
EDIT: Alcator, I hope you were joking when you posted, because that was just sickening.
Holy cow, i live in malaysia, it still fine, but the day is turning hotter.
Lolz I am glod Im not teh stup!d guy hehehehehehehehe!
EDIT: We know it’s gonna get stupid, don’t bother posting it. All threads have a place where they get stupid.
“That’s about it”? Why do you think it’s called global (!) warming? It affects the entire globe, not just a few regions. It doesn’t just affect the sea level, it’ll cause floods, droughts, losses in crop, changes to the seasons, makes animal migration harder etc. The polar areas and sea level rise are just in the spotlight.
This is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with. Just like any other to-be disaster. Like the before mentioned rainforests.
I’ve never seen a live polar bear, and I sure as hell don’t want to either. Same goes for dinosaurs.
