sorry, i don't buy into the whole death and destruction that the IPCC claims is going to happen before i die. i just don't see it.
for s sake we can't even forecast 48 hours out with 50% accuracy, and these people think that they have the correct answer for what's going to happen 20-50 years?!?!?!
doesn't that seem a LITTLE outrageous to you? |
You're putting words in my mouth, I've never said any of that, nor have I said anything about death and destruction.
That doesn't mean I have to deny that it's a massive issue that needs to be dealt with. |

This is exactly why I am so skeptical about how pervasive the global warming is. How are we supposed to be able to "model" what we think is going to happen, if we barely understand nature as it is, let alone correctly predict what will happen if we continue on this path. |

and if we don't deal with it, then BILLIONS of people are going to die, right? that's what the IPCC and Fox News are saying. :stongue: :stongue:
i can really only care about this whole GC thing so much. because really, unless they make it illegal, i'm still going to drive my nissan frontier and get 18 miles to the gallon. it.
that, and i'm a severe weather nerd. weather is my thing. and i don't see how we can use modern day weather anomolies to predict long-term climatology.
/just my beef |

GC is just a big soap opera to me.

No, not really, but you're the one who studies meteors around here... |

this sounds like an absolutely terrible idea
at least we have two faces to blame for the death of everything as we know it.
this is more arrogant and destructive than the things which led to global warming in the first place
the key here is LESS! moderation, returning to a simpler life.
this is only adding to the complexity of the problem.

As a follow-up to my thread about Nuclear power, here is one of Geoengineering. I subscribe to Wired and this was in this months issue.
Here is the first internet page of the article.

c0r summary: Geoengineering allows us to take certain actions to reverse or slow global warming, among a host of other things.
What are your thoughts? What do you know about it?
I am admittedly quite ignorant of this, as I had never heard the word, although the concept itself is not new to me. |
So rather than altering the wasteful way we live, and making beneficial adjustments to our technology, people are suggesting that we submerge the atmosphere (the same one we, uh, live in) in tons of chemicals?
Great, I'm all for it, if those chemicals happen to be THC. |
