If you're right then we're in trouble anyways. Whatever limits we impose, whatever taxes we increase, whatever green legislation we enact, it will all be negated by an ever growing world human population. |
August is right in that regard.
As for SH - You are wrong. We had a mini ice age that we have been climbing out of since the 1700's Hello? Did you not bother to check that? Duh! No wonder not only we have had a warming period for 400 years, but since the 1800's. We are getting back to where the Earth's average has been for the last 3000 years and we are still not there.
Arctic ice - Has been for most of Earths existence only a winter phenomena, not a summer. Only 5% of the time in the last 3000 years has there been ice at the North pole during summer. Polar bears have dealt with this since the beginning of their time.
How about your Greenhouse gases? The ones supposedly that are warming up Earth? Not only does this make plant life grow, and in turn, animal life flourish, but it has no measurable effect on the environment. Why? The highest concentration is CO2 after Water vapor. The reason you can't measure its effect is that it is at a ratio of 27 to 1. That is right! 27 to 1! The only way greenhouse gas might affect the climate is if it came to a ratio of about 10 to 1, and you would have to have many volcanoes going off all day every day for years to accomplish that. Bah! But you never checked this.
Our glaciers? Our largest ones even grew last year worldwide! This hasn't ever been recorded in human history! Think you are getting global warming? Try global cooling!
I'll tell you what Global Warming is:
Short on facts, long on faith
That is about the jist of it. Al Gore I see has done an excellent job spoon feeding the population because they seem to accept what they are told, and don't bother to research the facts.

PS. Correction to the above - 5% of the years in the last 10,000 years has only had permanent sea ice in the Arctic. Usually it melts in the summer.
