Global freeze - fook me I thought things were getting warmer and the ice caps were melting?Quote:

Do we want to wait for that stage before taking actions ?Quote:

Figure all this will happen about the same time hell freezes over so not really worried to much.Quote:

I'm afraid that last season was one of the lowest on record preceded by one of the highest, At least in terms of Atlantic storms, what does that say? I don't know?Quote:

So the do, but what about in the night time ?? There they absorbe O2 instead of producing it, so what do we do then...hold our breath for few hours...:)Quote:

So what if the human race becomes extinct anyway? It happens to all species over time. Also, one big meteorite from space & it's game over anyway.

Secondly, the climate is not static. Both local and worldwide climates are constantly changing and have been for as long as we can tell. However, it would be naive to think that the huge amount of change that humans have made in the world won't impact both the rate of change and how things are changing.
I read somewhere that the amount of co2 in the air, compared to how much air there actually is, is less than 0.00000001% or something like that.

Okay, maybe not the co2, but whatever it is that's doing the damage.Quote:
What happened to all that ozone layer bollocks from a few years back?
They've moved the goalposts so many times with what constitutes 'climate change' that nobody really knows whats going on.
Here's a profound thought...I have a serious question though it may not appear so on the surface..
There has been this claim about the amount of methane gas that cattle and other livestock put into the atmosphere every year being a large contributing factor to global warming given that they are herbivores by nature and that is said to produce higher levels of methane and Co2..
If this is true, I wonder how many cows and other live stock would it take to equal one of the largest herbivorous dinosaurs annual output of the time. As there were thousands of them at the time and given their size must have had a very large production of methane and Co2 relatively speaking..Besides numerous smaller ones all of the largest ones were known to be herbivores..
Take into account how many dinosaurs must have existed to have produced the volume of crude oil we have still today, and at that time the atmosphere was thinner too, and evidence points to a gradual die off of sorts along with a sudden die off, this is the only thing that accounts for the current findings of undamaged carcases in extremely cold regions such as Siberia and in some glaciers that are just now thawing..I find it incredibly ironic too that the largest source of our current dilemma happens to be the waste product produced from the various uses of those very dinosaurs remains in fossil fuels..
Though it is speculated that it was a meteor that caused their final extinction it has never been actually proven even with recent discoveries of impact craters it's still only theory. Could an impact have just been the final nail in the "perfect storm" coffin of extinction as it were?
Was their own production beginning to do them in anyway? As history has shown that similar conditions existed at the time as is being predicted for our future though it is thought to have been brought on by the meteor theory exclusively..
Are our cars and other methane and Co2 producers more or less production than the dinosaurs? I wonder? Also seriously consider the high number of active volcano's of that time period also spewing those same toxins as well as others compared to today..It's a lot to consider..
Good theory, Driven, but they did actually find the crater from the meteor a few years back.
I've got a link, but it's half hour into the documentary that they talk about it.
Still, if you've got an hour, it's a great documentary.

It wasn't a meteorite, that was the end result of when one of those dinosaurs lit one of its own farts. :bunny3:Quote:

Texpat's prediction:
1. Humans will do something stupid like nukywar or bioterrorism to end the game.
2. A global epidemic will wipe out half the population and those remaining will get a game reset with about 3 billion units of free fertilizer.
3. A meteor will strike, causing a new ice age, killing us all.
4. Human cloning will triple the population within 20 years and we'll begin eating the weak.
How optimistic of you....:(Quote:
