Global Warming & Climate Change Discussion

[mtcn77]

There is more to this than acidity. My god.

Well, they quote co2 as the reason oceans are getting acidic. It also releases more carbonate from underground springs.

Yes, but magma still burns despite being mostly carbon.

You can bet your hard earned cash that our Earth is life bearing solely due to its heated core. Without it, you can bet it would not form an atmosphere.

Our Earth is life-bearing solely due to God.

Where is your methodical approach, son.

 

[Schmuckley]

Where is your methodical approach, son.

Show me written history more than 6k years old.

The Chinese don't have any...Nobody has any.. 'sup?

Chinese history dates back 5-6000 years.

 

[mtcn77]

Show me written history more than 6k years old.

The Chinese don't have any...

I'm Turkish. Sorry, if it doesn't strike a common convention. We aren't too strict on written record.

 

[R-T-B]

Show me written history more than 6k years old.

Dig up a soil sample.

Our Earth is life-bearing solely due to God.

Well at least you are both honest in that you have no science to bring to the thread.

 

[Schmuckley]

Iz y'all illigitimate?

Dig up a soil sample.



Well at least you are both honest in that you have no science to bring to the thread.

And you do? Bring it.
There's no written history in soil, sorry.

 

[R-T-B]

Well, they quote co2 as the reason oceans are getting acidic. It also releases more carbonate from underground springs.

This is actually new to me, but it's certainly but a small cog in the machine that is global warming, if even true and not just a theory.

And you do? Bring it.

No. It's already here, and I'm tired.

There's no written history in soil, sorry.

Your ignorance is showing rather horribly here.

You two have fun debating which god made the earth.

 

[Schmuckley]

You know what I find in soil samples around here? .67 Cal Civil War bullets covered with lime.
Bigger bullets, too. Big round ones.

 

[Grog6]

I see the idiots have arrived.

Carry on, we need some entertainment.

Who is this God thing you're talking about?

Is it the flying spaghetti monster, or one I haven't heard of?

 

[mtcn77]

Iz y'all illigitimate?

Well, to wrap it around your head, you westerners call China the Orient. We are more oriental, by that standard. Who else lives primarily with oral tradition...

I suppose you haven't heard of him because you weren't raised right. Well, not my fault and I feel sorry for you.
I'm just an average dude and don't know know what I could do for ya.

Well, to wrap it around your head, you westerners call China the Orient. We are more oriental, by that standard. Who else lives primarily with oral tradition...

American Indians.
China has written history going back 5000 years+. Did you know that?

The denial of climate change is truly embarassing, it is more indicative of a failure to think than a free-thinking mind. Science is not something that can be partially accepted, either you accept science or you don't, and the scientific community, almost to a person, has shown that climate change is taking place and is being accelerated by human action.

Moreover, climate change denial is largely a ruse purported by the far-right, because their rich backers want to evade picking up the bill for as long as possible. For example, you can read about the money behind Brexit and its links to climate change denial here:

The address where Eurosceptics and climate change sceptics rub shoulders

The offices of 55 Tufton Street in Westminister are home to no fewer than eight right-of-centre organisations

I would love this thread to be closed, it serves no useful purpose and a tech site should not provide a platform for those who deny science. Alternatively, we can all start to use toothpaste instead of thermal paste, because, who needs science, right?

Whether knowingly or not, at this stage, questioning climate change is tantamount to acting as a shill for the far-right, and whilst some will continue to deny scientific evidence, it can only be hoped that others will begin to think about the motives of those in opposition to the vaste majority of the scientific community and their own role within the spread of such disinformation.

Yeah, the climate changes, derp! It always has.

But when you're looking to attach fart-bags to cows and starve and impoverish millions, who's cray cray now?

What good does that do humanity?

Btw, why are you running away from "Global Warming", hmm?

Paying carbon credits? That's what it all led to. A buncha BS.

A ruse to impoverish and starve people is all it was. Oh yeah, and reduce the global population.

Also to equalize the US with 3rd world countries with no industry that don't make any carbon emissions because they're 3rd world.

I recommend Colgate for your next cooler.

I'm cheap, I like Ultra-Brite, brah. Same product, different package.

If you don't believe me, spend $1 on Ultra-Brite and read what it says on the rim of the tube.

Correction: you are supposed to think it critically, than accept it. This isn't your acceptance piece. It goes both ways. For example, what you can do against it.
It would be sad, if it came to be dominated by sjw lunatics to hold everything with an iron grip than the elusive machinations of an adept user to boost the economy by making right what evolutionist darwin ideologues are making everyone accept at a fundamentally obtuse manner.

 

[Schmuckley]

I was taught critical thinking in school. It seems that has ceased. In parts of America, at least.

Hey man, what good does starving and impoverishing millions of people do to better the world, hmm?

While some self-proclaimed elites profit? This makes no sense to me. Tell me more about how you defend that position.

Are you really so arrogant as to think that man can affect the weather?

Make it stop raining here now, then. I got $5 says you can't.

 

[the54thvoid]

Okay, this is a science and tech forum. Keep religion out of it. Any further OT posts will be deleted. If people wish to selectively use science to purport religious opinion, then dismiss science when it does not fit their belief, you can do it elsewhere.

I don't want people offending others beliefs, nor do I want such believe to disrupt scientific discussion.

That's kinda what global warming will do, if you read.

650 million living in extreme poverty right now:

Poverty

In order to make progress against poverty in the future, we need to understand poverty around the world today and how it has changed.

The irony is it was fossil fuels that ended poverty for most...

We need to revitalize soil this time, though. Inorganic fertilisers break the carbon cycle thus releasing carbon stores, also thinning the soil layer.

The figures for the damage global warming will cause are catastrophically larger than these figures, but hey.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

The only reason why Earth has over 7 billion humans is because of fossil fuels. More people can live in smaller space thanks to electricity produced from coal, more food grown in the same space thanks to oil-based fertilizers, and diesel transporting goods many miles from areas of production to areas of consumption. China lifted itself out of poverty by building coal mines and power plants at a staggering rate.

Fossil fuels will always have their uses. The only solution is non-fossil fuel alternatives hastily deployed to people that need it most (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is focused on this). Nuclear fission and fusion can power grids at virtually no fossil fuel costs; however, a long term solution to powering mobility is a problem.
