Atmospheric cabon exceeds point of no return: It's over

[BlindBoo]

I read the same thing about 5yrs ago. According to some Global Warming wingnuts, it is all over. It can't be fixed. Yet they're still whining about it 24/7 365. If it really is all over, let's just enjoy the time we have left and turn the page on the Global Warming fear mongering stuff. Humans will either adapt and survive, or they won't. Simple as that. Time to move on.

right, what exactly would be wrong with peach orchards in Greenland and wheat fields in Antarctica?

This animation shows what Earth would look like if all the ice melted

don't try and sell people on "Gorebal warming" bullshit

I promise you, I will never try to sell anyone on global warming bullshit. I will, however, occasionally make fun of the whole idea, from time to time. You may notice that I recently posted a thread doing exactly that.

If? I believe you meant to say when. The Earth is in an ice age. Sooner or later the ice will all melt.

 

[LaDexter]

Earth can have all its ice melted.

It just requires no land in either polar circle...

 

[LaDexter]

The Earth is in an ice age

Ice ages are continent specific, which is why, in the past million years, North America thawed while Greenland froze, all at the same time on the same planet with the same atmosphere with the same amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, proving that atmospheric CO2 had nothing to do with either event....

no, what he said is correct. You are the stupid one.

You know you've won the argument with the warmers when all they can do is spew hate at your truth.

Ice ages are a continental thing? Jesus fucking Christ. Morons everywhere.

 

[LaDexter]

Then explain HOW Greenland froze while North America thawed during the past million years.....


and since you cannot do that, and you cannot find any "expert" to parrot, you will spazz out again...

 

[Unkotare]

What going past 400 ppm of CO2 and 1800 ppb of CH4 means is not doom, but a poorer world for our grandchildren and their descendents. Yes, we had that amount in our atmosphere about 4 million years ago, and things were just fine. But that level did not occur overnight, geologically speaking. In fact, the rate of change at present for GHGs exceeds that of the periods of extinctions in geologic history. Even were we able to go back to the point of not adding GHGs to the atmosphere in the next two decades, what is already there will change our climate for tens of generations.

Really? How can you say what it will do unless there is a stop to the geo-engineering program that has been going on for the last twenty years and is causing the destruction of the biosphere?

Don't run out of tinfoil for your little hats.

I know more than you, OldFuck....infinitely more .....

And he's off his meds again ...

No, LaDumbkopf, it does not. There are have a number of times in the geological record in which there was land at the south pole, and no ice on that land for long, tens of millions of years, periods. There are more factors than just the placement of the land masses on the earth that determines ice ages.

BBC Earth - Ice ages have come and gone over the last 2.6m years

During the last 2.6 million years or so in theQuaternary period, ice ages, also called glacial ages, were times of extreme cooling of the Earth'sclimate where ice sheets and other types of glacierexpanded to cover large areas of land. Between ice ages there were warmer interglacial periods and we are now living during such a time.

There have been many ice ages during the last 2.6 million years but when people talk about the Ice Age, they are often referring to the most recent glacial period, which peaked about 21,000 years ago and ended about 11,500 years ago.

What causes ice ages is not completely understood. The composition of the atmosphere, changes in the position of our planet around the Sun, and changes in ocean currents are some of the important factors that control the climate.

Okay liberals, you won. You were right. We've fucked it all up so bad it can't even be fixed. Now....since we're past the point of no return, how abouts we forget all that save the planet crap, because there's no point anymore.


Enjoy Earth While It Lasts: Atmospheric Carbon Levels Pass the Point of No Return

Good thing humans have a lot of carbon in their bodies...

 

[westwall]

what would you suggest? eliminating half of the worlds population?

Half of the worlds population needs to go.

We are living well beyond our means.

Oh? Are you going to be the one to murder all of those people? Do you wish to be called hitler or stalin?

 

[Crick]

You can reduce the world;s population without murdering anyone. Where's your head at dude?

 

[SwimExpert]

ice ages, also called glacial ages,

False. Abso-fucking-lutely false.

An "ice age" is a glaciation.

A glacial period is a period within an ice age of more severe ice coverage. An inter-glacial period is a period within the ice age of relatively lower ice coverage. The normal lifespan of an ice age is to cycle between glacial and inter-glacial periods.

 

[Crick]

English terms are defined by usage. The most common definition given by the public to the term "ice age" is one scientists would call a "glaciation". So big whoop.

Long time no see. I am glad to see you at odds with La Dexter about this issue. Please carry on.

That seems a little lacking in appropriate content Swimmie.

LaDex has the interesting idea that glaciation only takes place above the Arctic and Antarctic circles and that it is only initiated by plate tectonics pushing land masses towards the poles. What do you think of that idea?
