really? this is your field csr? I don’t know what to say about that, I’ll be benevolent and assume your cherry picking your points of fact is due to the need of brevity.
I find this statement very telling;
“The other issues with climate change and sea level are 1) if you warm the ocean it expands. This directly impacts coastal regions; 2) If temps in the atlantic warm or cause large amounts of freshwater to enter areas of the Labrador sea, or the areas southeast of Greenland, deep convection could slow or stop, affecting the gulf stream (There are at least two events within recorded history where his has happened). The direct impact of this scenario is the huge cooling of western europe. That will be a major economic factor.”
So, it’s happened in the past? Where both of these events in the Industrial Revolution age? No. They weren’t. The earth is a living organism that we co-exist with, the fact is, it’s going to warm and cool regardless of our presence.
Is CO2 the only “culprit”?
Secondly, can anyone say without doubt that the alledged current “Global Warming” trend is going to be especially harmful? When will we feel the full brunt of the catastrophe? 100 years? 400 years? 1000 years? 5000 years? Harmful how? Consider that what might be harmful to coastal dwelling humans might be in the best interest of the earth itself.
If those who are jumping on this craze look at the history of the earth they should see no human can change the earths life cycle, we can’t even predict the weather more than a week in advance and still, not very accurately. We can keep the earth cleaner, yes, but that is a different argument. Any human who believes that they can control any type of global environmental event is…. mad.
I will say that if they can get a portion of the population to buy into it, they will be very wealthy and have enormous political power. I will also say I don’t see a remarkable track record of successes for the environmental groups.
Kewp, was it you who brought up quantum chromodynamics? For a simple person (me), will you explain how that impacts global warming?
