The great global warming swindle.

If it is real, and a natural phenomenon I don't think we should interfere humans are very good at screwing things up. If we get involved we will mess the whole system up, and then complain when it is getting too cold.

Take a look at other natural things;

Earth quakes; we now build buildings to survive earth quakes.

tsunami; We've built early warning systems

I know that these dont prevent, but it shows the human race can adapt.

I'd be getting worried if i lived in east america, as there could be a mega tsunami heading your way from the canaries in the near future.
 
those things are developments, not evolution, which is what we would need if the temperatures changed a lot

I have no problem with building things that survive natural disasters or warn us of them, but when they talk about pumping stuff into fault to try to stop earthquakes I think that is dumb.

@Rastalovich It is impractical to convert CO2 to only O2. When a fuel is burned the by products are mainly H2O and CO2, the energy released in such a chemical reaction is always less than the energy required to reverse the reaction. There are ways to do it, trees as an example, but you need a sorce of power that does not produce CO2 otherwise you are fighting a loosing battle.

This is what i was talking about. Let the Earth do its thing and we will adapt to w/e happens.

Thank you sir for scaring me. That seems rather farfetched to me though. Half that volvano has to fall off for that to happen or something like that lol.

indeed, last eruption it had, half the volcano slipped a few meters downwards, just waiting for the next eruption. Not trying to scare you or anything. :p

have a read here

:confused: I said the Earth's mass tiny compared to the Sun's, so any mass change of the earth will have no negligible effect on the orbit, as it's the Sun's gravity, not the earth's that keeps us going round the Sun. Changing the mass of the Sun will therefore effect the earths orbit, as the gravity of the sun is proportional to its mass. (another example is say if you drop a hammer and a feather in a vacuum, they both hit the ground the same time, as although they have different masses, the difference between them is negligible in comparison to the size of the earth).

The Sun makes up 99.8% of the mass in our solar system. Add the planets, and there's not a lot left, so it isn't going to get any bigger yet... It is however getting smaller as it burns up, and in about a billion years, the sun will be 10% hotter, and in 3.5 billion years, the oceans on earth will boil and it will be too hot to live on. A bit later than that maybe 7 billion years from now, the sun will become a red giant, and will swallow mercury, and will scorch earth and venus, but won't consume them because it's mass will decrease and they will move away from it due to the decreased gravity. Now there's global warming for you, but I don't think I'll be caring about it ;).

We don't.

To unconfused u, I said some1 would give u an arguement and proceded to demonstrate what would happen if the reverse were applicable, which is pretty much what u`r saying here.

Oh dear, if the Sun had no mass, we wouldn`t revolve about it ;)

Also doesn`t it bother people that daylight savings times are adjusting all over the world. Some longer days, some shorter, almost as if parts of the earth`s surface face the sun at different stages to where they used to. Pretty much like an orbit change.

I aint no chemical genius, I only did physics. (and hence sometimes drop lines into arguements to cause a debate rather than prehaps believing them myself - that`s another fault of my teacher at the time)

But my emphasis was to eliminate the bad stuff (if u like), u can turn it into gold if it suits, but if some1 can do it - do it.

To my limited capacity in the thoughts of carbon, I was lead to believe that it`s particles are large enough to be filtered without too much of a process involved.

Something along the lines of a big mf catalyst being dragged through the bit beneath the atmosphere - u can use a kite, a balloon, I`d use a plane that caused less than the operation helped.

The resulting O2 fall as rain ? I have no idea.

Stephen Fry informs us that trees only convert 5% of the worlds co2, algae does the vast majority. How much u can read into that program I dunno, no1 ever stepped forward to say he was wrong.

Well ain't that a fact.

Well yeh, I'd guess the rotational speed of the earth will slow down over time, like it has with the moon.

I have only done the one college chemistry course but the way I learned it was that you can't "filter" a compound, you have to use a chemical reaction to split the compound apart, but this alway requires more energy. A catalyst is an interesting thought, but you would have to be careful because you would be left with an explosive mixture of oxygen and CO2. Once you had split the carbon and oxygen apart, you could turn the carbon into something different but it would be highly impractical, turning lead into gold isn't commercially viable.
 
Cor blimey!

It is rather intresting reading you lot nattering about the subject! :)

Im not even at school and I am learning loads!

It really starts u`r head going when u think to u`rself - why is gold valuable ?

Gold is valuable because the supply is limited, artificially, and people want it. ;)
 
Limited aye.

I`m close to a town with tons of it lying in shop windows.

EDIT: and if it was all sold today, they`d be restocked by 2morrow.

Because its perdy and rare! :)

Nah, it`s valuable because u`r told it`s valuable.

On the topic of this program. I seen it today, and in the debate of media journalism vS scientists, I seriously suggest any1 convinced man is a contributor to this to watch the program.

I never followed the idea b4 watching the program, and after watching it I can understand the reasons why so many peoples are following the idea, but I sir am not ;)

but im sure you could watch another program about it that would change your mind again. I personally dont think theres a way for us to come up with an answer that is 100% correct. All we can do is debate and these programs are a part of that.

I'm pretty sure there are facts missed out, some things that arnt even facts, but just the opinion of an scientist. All this can make a program change peoples opinions for or against.
