Newly Discovered - the Real Cause of Global Warming

I thought this would be perfect for the Weather Forum - if I'm wrong, send it to the Clown Bin.

So now the polar bears are importing penguins from the South Pole?

[Chris]

You guys! It is a serious thing! . The poor penguin. You're incorrigible.! Another glass of wine for me, just before the vines die off and I have to drink water!

Thanks for the laugh Fireguy. That was funny!

In the last year or so everybody has become "concerned" of this global warming. I think the reactions are nothing more a response to the hype.

Why hype?

Let me ask everyone a question:

When did global warming began and who started it?

Give up? Here's the answer:

Global warming began when the last ice age ended AND it was started by the very same system that will end it! Call it nature, God, mother earth, you name it!

We should curve our consumption of fossil fuels and lower our pollution levels for the sake of our own health, but not for this global warming crap.

Call it 20 or 30 years and I'm with you. Call it in the last year or so, you're not with it.

You guys are too funny,

Did you see the article on yahoo today where there are approximately 100 Seal killing vessels in Canadian waters ....and they are stuck in the ice

Maybe those polar bears might be Grilling and Chilling

So, the polar ice-cap melting doesn't concern you? You think we're into a global warming due to a "natural" cyclical phenomena? i e, an "ice age" or a "temperate Age"? That we, humans, have absolutely nothing to do with our planet's weird weather and resulting crop failures? Not to mention, the mass die-offs of many species of frogs and other reptiles?
Whether we realize it or not, the more we overpopulate our planet, the more impact we'll have on it's climate, flora and fauna; with horrific irreversible consequences...... Heaven help us!

NALs, - I think the word to use here is 'curb' (not curve). We curb our desires, curb our enthusiasm, curb our usage of fosil fuels etc .... we don't 'curve' them. I am not being 'picky' or 'smartass', just trying to be helpful as I noticed it twice in another thread & thought this was the time to mention it!

I do NOT think that the greenhouse problem is as bad as many scientists are trying to make it out to be but I DO believe that the world population & the way it treats the environment IS having a detrimental effect on our weather conditions around the world - we need to take careful note of what we are doing & make adjustments so that our offspring (two or three generations further on) have the opportunity to continue living on this earth. THEY will adapt & most likely evolve of course, but what of the present fauna & flora? If that does not evolve with the new environmental conditions, too much sun (or rain) & air pollution could well cause it to all die off with the resultant damage to food stuffs. Plasticated pseudo McDonalds burgers ........... Yuck!!

Did you read the recent report on the disappearing bee colonies?? Very scary! ~ Grahame.

Burning the black goop from way down inside the earth gives an energy-in-to-energy-out ratio of 16:1, while burning ethanol (etc.) gives us 1.3:1, or put another way, you must burn 12 times as much ethanol as gasoline to just stay even.

OK! Let's do it. Let's burn our food supply, wash away our topsoil, deplete our diet of natural minerals until we only comsume potash! AND at the same time increase the 0.08% human contribution to "greenhouse gasses" by 1200% by all the camposinos that will burn their soya (etc.) fields annually.

Costs of tacos in Mexico are already skyrocketing because of fields converting from corn to soya. Chicken is rising to the cost of prime filet because of the rise in feed prices. Why THINK when you can have smug solidarity spontaneously marching with pre-manufactured signs.

Ever onward, Nihlists and Bolshis, if GW fails there's always the Population Bomb (1950s), or Global Cooling (1970s), or Oil Depletion (1900s), or this time around, Nuclear Engergy is GOOD. Geeeez! If you wanna meet chicks, forget your harebrained causes. Just march into a bar.

Funny how these threads that should be in the clown bin thrust us into serious discussion ;-).

Reminiscing the other day, about childhood fears and phobias, I mentioned the commotion that ensued in the classroom when a bumblebee came in through the window and buzzed about trying to find it's way out. Then I realized, when was the last time we all saw bumblebee. The next day I read the following news,

"Bumblebees are disappearing at such an alarming rate in Britain that scientists are warning they could be wiped out within a few years. "
