Hi all, If everyone is looking for reliable (i.e. not wikipedia) sources, go here:
http://www.ipcc.ch/ The intergovernmental panel on climate change. For the sake of convenience, here are a list of charts showing all sorts of interesting things. (remember, this is objective data gathered by scientits from many different countries) http://www.ipcc.ch/present/graphics.htm If you want to skip the body of my message, at least go to the bottom. There is generally a basic argument that we are following the natural cycle of going in and out of ice ages. However, by altering the concentration of CO2 (and just about everything else) drastically through the process of industrializing the world over the past XXX years, humans can have an effect! Not only can an extremely small alteration have major consequences for climate, but lets not forget the actual toxicity of the various ecosystems? Is there ANY.... science that denies the extent to which we have corrupted and polluted the planet? Even barring ice ages and rising sea levels, the availability of unpolluted food sources is becoming a thing of the past. So here are the outcomes: Pollution is not a problem: We make efforts to reduce our impact, and find out that it was a costly mistake. We do nothing, and are ok! Pollution is a problem: We make efforts to reduce our impact, and make at least a slightly better prospect for future generations. We do nothing, and leave a legacy of a useless, and toxic earth behind for our children. If you are playing as if it was a gamble, which gives a better payoff? doing nothing. which has the least risk: doing something !!!
