Silkweaver says: If we were to eliminate global dimming all together without addressing global warming the increase in temperature and extreme weather might be more significant than previously predicted. This has been recorded with one full degree temperature change in just a few days of decreased pollution in the days following the 9/11 attacks [Nature]. This reverse effect of dimming has been has been blamed along with global warming for increasing temperatures, appropriately called global brightening [Geophysical Research Letters]. No one wants smoggy skies but it could be smog and particulates that may be shielding us from the full consequences of the greenhouse gases we pump into our air daily. Clear blue skies are something many folks thinks of when they think of “going green” but those clear blue skies may hold more heat than we can handle. What has happened since the Industrial Revolution isn't helpin Nature take it's own course in keeping a delicate balance--the Gaia theory stresses that manmade pollutants make it that much harder for such a unique and delicate balance to maintain. The Oceans are probably the best example of how drastic man's disgusting and tragic waste is threatening our very existence. You wouldn/t shit in your own bed or pour toxic chemicals and piles of plastic in your kids' beds but we do it to our oceans skies and land. Consumerism and greed are the driving forces of our own folly. we are Doomed I like how facts never get in the way of a good story. Man-Made global warming is a fallacy that is perpetuated by people who either want to control your life or tell you how to think. Check out this CO2 vs. Temperature change graph on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Co2-temperature-plot.svg - Do you see how the temperature change precedes the change in CO2 concentration. That means that the change in temperature happens, 'then' the change in CO2 happens. Not the other way around. Oh, and by the way, do you see how the concentration of CO2 high-points at 115000, 225000, 315000 and 400000 years ago either match or exceed the so-called CO2 'peak' we are currently in. W... |
