The air gets warmer abnd the ground gets warmer and the climate gets warmer and evertyhign gets wanre r-. and some people are suroprised that icebergs break off anbd snow melts? Well, school education does not seem to be what it has been.

Except the Hogwardies in Germany. They develop the magic to make things undone and to turn back time to a state several decades earlier. Soon we will see German technology to make icebergs from warm Caribian sea water and glue them back to the ice caps at the poles.

Its so good to know that we do not have to learn to adapt to life in a much warmer environment.

Is this strange anomaly because it has never happen in the Antarctica
Or
Is this strange anomaly because the human never seen it until now.

If it is the latter then it is not a strange anomaly-since it happens perhaps all the time and maybe done so for decades.

But what do I know-The video was interesting to watch.

My lad used to visit Hubbard Glacier in Alaska on what was approximately a three-monthly interval between visits and he informs me if you looked carefully or better still if you took photographs on each visit you could see definite signs of the ice receding.

Of course no 'human' has ever 'seen' this, those advanced apes called 'homo sapiens' are only there for a second, related to the age of 'earth'.
But this does not mean that this 'thinking' animal species has nothing to do with it. The biggest problem humans face is accepting reality.

It also doesn't mean that this "thinking animal species" DID have anything to do with it either. That's YOUR reality, it is not true just because you believe it.

There is a quite exact graph showing the rise of CO levels in the atmosphere appx. until 40,000 years ago. On this graph the highest CO2 level is right now, still rising.
There is an other graph that shows the CO2 level way back to 500 million years ago. There have been some unfortunate setbacks to life on earth before, from the Deccan traps to this asteroid, to other crises of evolution.

Can you eliminate the possibility of human impact on that recent rising level, with evidence?

Another interesting question is: Can anyone eliminate any other possible cause(s)? And before you answer that, I suggest you take a look at the following charts.

One volcano can dump 100's of years of green house gasses in an afternoon and they pop off all the time. If man indeed has an effect on climate it is minuscule by comparison.

re Sean C there are obvious relations and ohers which make no sense at all

The graphs i refer to only show one graph:
1. Earth temperature along millions of years
2. CO2 level along millions of years.
It may be that one of the graphs coincides with the age or number of wrinkles of Mrs America, i still think there is something that makes more sense lol

Did you know that more ships hit reefs during manual celestial navigation in the 19th century than today? Must have been totally flawed


re August where do you get those 'facts'? They are wrong.

The burning of fossil fuels and changes in land use results in the emission into the atmosphere of approximately 34 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year worldwide, according to your U.S. Energy Information Administration. The fossil fuels emissions numbers alone are about 100 times bigger than even the maximum estimated volcanic CO2 fluxes.

It's not the 99% that fills the glass that's the problem. It's the 2+% that precipitates an overflow that is. That tidbit seems to elude those that like to oversimplify an argument to make 'a quick point.'

(For those missing this one: the 2+% is mankind's addition the the ecological balance.)

It's not a very interesting question at all; the answer is simply "yes".

Numerous studies have been made on numerous subjects. Among these are completely independent studies on subjects like volcanoes, sun activity, natural climate cycles etc. By looking at the findings of all these studies, one can get a picture of how much each of those elements affect climate change and compare it against human caused effects.
