    • lel I have a magazine from 20 years ago titled "The Coming Ice Age." They have no idea what they're talking about.

        • You know, I'm actually trying [i]really[/i] hard to not actually break out in rage here. This year, I have seen my first wildfire. I have seen mountain sides aflame. Homes I used to sleep in, trails I travelled, all burned to ash. We had more than 5 wild fires start in one night. Do you guys think that's normal for [i]Canada[/i]?Climate change is natural, but it should be stable. Humans have kicked the balance, and we face the fire. We will continue to kick it til we realize we are melting our feet off.

              According to research done on the Earth's climate (using advanced computer simulations), the Earth's climate should remain stable. However, adding humans and our CO2-spitting power plants to the simulation, and you get a runaway effect if global warming. The rising sea level that is [i]directly caused[/i] by global warming is best seen in Bangladesh, where flooding is becoming increasingly common. Within a decade, Bangladesh may not even exist. Try telling people that the thing they lost everything to isn't real. Also, there are millions of methane-filled bubbles trapped under Arctic ice. If global warming melts the ice and releases it, you'll have trouble denying it. [spoiler]Mainly becauase you'll be burning to death.[/spoiler]

              • In the 80s it was global cooling and warnings of a new ice age, then in the 90s it was global warming and both poles melting to nothing, then in the 2000's it became climate change that uses any major storm as a selling point despite many not even breaking historical records. During each period they predicted that the next few decades would spell "catastrophic" doom for all mankind. Do we have an impact? Yes. But their science is very inconsistent and flip flops every few years. Also they rarely, if ever, take the sun and its high and low cycles into account. Surprisingly enough if you track the sun's cycles it coincides with their changing beliefs. The sun affects our climate more than anything but people dont want to talk about it as a factor in everything. They also seem to ignore the impact that volcanoes have both in the long term and the short term. A standard medium sized eruption releases the equivalent of the last hundred years of human emissions. We know that the earth has warmed to the point where no ice on the poles existed. We know that there were several times more greenhouse gasses (especially methane from pete bogs) than there are now. Yet with our increases in CO2 since the industrial revolution the north and south poles have stayed largely the same in ice mass. Glaciers have decreased in number and size but sea ice has only grown and has even cut off traditional trading routes in warmer seasons. (There have been about a dozen boats stuck in the past few years during summer for the northern hemisphere). People need to be educated on this and not listen to people such as Al Gore whose own house has a carbon footprint 10 times greater than the average American. Most of it is propaganda that points fingers at the individual rather than including them with all the factors and how things constantly change. But im sure i will just be ridiculed and attacked its what usually happens when you dont agree with the stance that "only humans are responsible" and "by 2020 seasons will be undistinguishable from each other" whoops sorry i mean 2040 or 2100 however much it is pushed back now.

                • Greenhouse gases such as CO2 are being released into the atmosphere by a majority of human activities: oil refineries, mining, cars, farts, etc. Global Warming is a natural occurrence in the Earths cycle between hot and cold eras. The last Hot era was when the dinosaurs were around, it shifted into a transition phase, went into the most recent ice age which was a cold era, went to a transition phase which is what we are used to, and now it's transitioning into another hot era. You'll think: Oh this isn't a problem then. Nope it still is because even though it's natural, humans are still affecting it. With the greenhouse gasses we eject into the atmosphere, we are speeding up the transition which will give life less time to adapt. Why do you think polar bears are going extinct. We're giving ourselves less time to adapt as well. The entirety of central United States will be under a mass of water the size of the Gulf of Mexico. So say good by to Arkansas l, Missouri, and those states no one remembers their names of. New York City will be a few meters under water. So Global Warming should be our top priority. People have always just put it aside. That's the problem though. The speeding of Global Warming can't be prevented once we can already see it's effects. It has to be slowed early on. Humans have just been procrastinating on a more serious scale.

                • yes absolutely. There is too much evidence for it. On the other hand whether or not it is caused by humans is still debatable. But we still should take precautions to stop emitting these toxic gasses no matter what

                    It's not about whether you believe it or don't believe it. It's about whether you interpret the facts correctly or incorrectly. No point in debating it with the tards on B.Net though, some of these comments are almost enough to send me into a coma. Deniers have a habit of doing these really long posts full of misinformation in an attempt to make their position seem credible, but at the end of the day all the denier stuff can be debunked by actual experts in the environmental field, if only they took a few mins to just look it up they would see that for themselves. P.S. I'm pretty sure that whether climate change is real and mostly caused by humans is only a debated topic in the US, the rest of the developed world has already accepted it as truth, should tell you something.

                            • Of course it's a thing. It's been scientifically proven. What could be debatable is how much we actually affect it.

                              • I love the "you don't have to believe in science for it to be true" comments. Is this the same science of the Global Cooling from the 70's, or the prediction that by 2020 snow will be a distant memory?
