Global Warming is Happening!!!!

[Aquila]

I don't know. From a practical stand point it would appear that the most acclaimed and credible research believes global warming to be a reality... and you have a minority who say that it isn't.

I'd like to ask this question...

What if you're wrong Ferd and global warming is a serious issue? What if we exacerbating the problem with various emissions?

Have you been following the news this week? the most acclaimed and credible researchers on the planet (the guys that run the IPCC) just got discredited... LAST FRIDAY.

but lets play your game.

What if I am wrong and CO2 is a real green house gas.

Then things arent that bad. The earth has seen CO2 levels around 7000 ppm (right now it is about 380ish PPM) with temperatures no more than 8 to 10 degrees cooler.

during those periods, the earth had its greatest diversity of flora and fauna.

If that happned and the polar regions warmed, and the ice caps melted signifantly (even worst case) then the vast areas of Siberia, Canada and Alaska would all the sudden be freed up for the production of food.

Warming of that nature would cause sea level rise that would flood out about 500 million people but would make 1/5 of the earths land mass more livable.


So even IF CO2 is a serious green house gas, there is nothing to worry about.

Yeah, that's nothin' compared to the Sun going supernova in a few billion years!

Interesting Timmy,

How are we going to protect ourselves against THAT!

Is that caused by humanity also?

Maybe by then we can erect a large shield around the earth that will shield the heat coming from the sun. It will be made out of a new found substance that is mined off of a distant planet.

Hhmmmmmm.

"Sun to go Nova tomorrow! Women and minorities hit hardest!"

Can you provide the information on this, I'd like to read it.

Ferd, what do you believe the economic impact would be as a result of 500 million people having to flee global flooding?
