| LetsAllMakeBelieve said: @ Kasz216 - I know the planet has warmed and cooled before, but what i see on tv and read in papaers/internet leaves me to believe that we are either casuing GW or speeding up GW, either way we should do something to at least slow down GW, if you want to be all doomsday, i can top that, the sun will eventually expand to the point where this planet is rendered uninhabitable. The best solution is to make sure this planet is hospitable for as long as we can make it so, and also to increase space exploration and technology to the point that we can safely move to another planet when this one is rendered uninhabitable, most of this though is talking billions of years into the future, GW however from what ive seen is the next 250-325 years though, which is much sooner. |
The problem is... just about eveerything you've read and seen on TV is crap... on both sides.
All we really know is the above. The 2nd position is the "scientific" reasoning since it would cause the seeking for why greenhouse gases don't effect our atmosphere like they used to.
A "to be safe" approach isn't a bad idea... but to argue it as it is the more sound arguement scientifically is just untrue.
Some people are just less willing to change their lifestyle on a "to be safe" arguement. Partially because most if not all of the "to be safe" agreements tend to set it up so that 3rd world nations can sell 1st world nations the right to use more carbon.
Which will have a bunch of negative effects for people in both the first world and the third world.
Proponents of global warming are basically asking people to change their everday lives based purely on a leap of faith... when said leap of faith is also full of a lot of political benfits for the people heading the "leap."
Sqrl isn't saying that it isnt' man made so much as he's saying there is no proof it is man made.
