purple Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I admit my ignorance in this topic. I had assumed that global warming was definitely anthropologically caused, but now, I'm not so sure. I tried looking things up on the internet, but most of the stuff on the 'net almost always say things like, 'the graph used to demonstrate that global warming is anthropologically caused is out-of-date or fixed or biased'. And then I can't find any counterarguments for these counterarguments. Does anyone know a good source for letting me determine the truth myself?

Sandwich Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) The most persuasive graph I have observed is:http://geology.rockbandit.net/wp-content/u...ok-ice-core.jpgIf CO2 correlates with temperature, and it's obvious we're releasing more CO2, it certainly makes one think.EDIT: Just thought I'd add that that data is from the Vostok ice cores, so isn't affected by any local phenomena.

bolan14 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Like with anything moderation is key, we are heading towards a point where it is believed that the temperature will drop therefor decreasing global warming, however, in my opinion things need to get done fast. I say moderation because for the past 250 years we havn't lived with any form of moderation, so now we have to make up for it. Besides, the whole green movement is probably helping the facillitation of the economy to stabilize. It practically become more of a fashion statement than a belief or a scientifically proven construct. Bottom line is that it is best to find some way to avoid any sort of catastrophic event, in any form be it a future war for water or space colonization (probably not realistic). Global warming should be a real concern in fact I suggest putting a cap on carbon credits and having big companies pay for using extra. Probably better investement in public transportation or a reexamination of the concept of a car, setting a limit to how low MPG can be. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
