Hokay, this set by bullshit alarm off with the phrasing. CO2 traps heat, as such an increased concentration of it will capture more heat. The debated point is just how much of a concentration difference will effect the earth as a whole, or how else the potentially localized trapped heat may alter local, or even global, climates. Say for instance a magical sum of CO2 gets trapped over the glaciers, they all melt, now take two guesses at how screw much of humanity is. Now, the questions are, can it get trapped there, what's the magical sum, and how the bloody hell can we keep that from ever happening. This is pretty much the worst case scenario, second would be what the magical quantity of CO2 it would take before we manage to give humanity a collective case of heatstroke, which would be the wet bulb scenario you were ranting about a few weeks back. From what I've seen we don't know if the first is possible, or how much CO2 would be required in either case. Personally I'd rather not find out by trial and error. I'd rather my kids didn't either. I'd vastly prefer it if people would shut the fuck up and let the actual scientists figure out just how screwed we could make ourselves(I'm including Al Gore in the shut the fuck up group btw), and try to explore ways to keep that from happening.

These things haven't changed in thousands of years (More, but let's keep it simple)... Look at what the human race has done in that time... Forests leveled, air pollution, damaged ozone, dammed rivers, oil spills... This is obvious stuff, and I could go on and on...

Here you go again... We've been through these arguments before, and I'm not going to start them up yet again, as when it comes to this issue, you "debate" just like CSS... You downplay any facts you don't like, and base your position on elementary speculation, claiming yourself as an "expert" because you took a few physics courses.

And since mankind lives in temperatures ranging form -40 to +50 I doubt there is little to fear from a few degrees.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
So here's a question...what would happen to the earth if temperature's went up 5 degrees Celsius (I'm assuming you meant Celsius, though like only a pseudo-scientist could, you left it off...in fact you didn't even say degrees this time, so maybe you think mankind survives in -40 to +50 Kelvin)? Would more of the ocean's ice melt? If so, what effect would that have? Would the ocean temperatures also go up? If so, what effect would that have? How would an increase in global temperature affect the weather patterns? Would there be more rain, less rain, more rain in some areas, less rain in some areas, less snow leading to less snow melt (many Californian's water supply is almost wholly depended on snow melt). If any of that were to happen, what other effects would that have? Simply saying that because man can live in a wide temperature range, therefore a change in temperature wouldn't be a problem is simplistic and exposes your ignorance. Aren't there more things to consider than just whether man keels over immediately in 125 degree F heat? Surely you have to admit that man's survival doesn't rely solely on whether he can live at a given temperature...

So since the temperature has fallen in the last 10000 years by around 4 degrees while CO2 has increased do you not consider that as fairly convincing evidence that it isnt causing warming, or if it is, that any warming might be beneficial in preventing us form entering a new ice age? Any I refer you to Phil Jones who stated recently that the last warming period, ie 1980 to 1995 is stastically indiferent to the previous 3 (going back into the 19th century) He is a scientist, he was also head of CRU that prepard data for the IPCC.

Yes. The same effect as at the end of the ice age. Coastal flooding. (Which man survived wuite happily) Of course I wasnt suggesting that man will easilly face such an extreme of temperature, but he will adapt. He has already to these extremes.

First, you post Russell as a great visionary, warning us of the dangers of authoritarian societies, the mental moulding of the young physiologically (e.g., fluorinated water) and psychologically. Then I completely change your view of him simply by posting a couple of quotes where he appears to be supporting an authoritarian world government with genocidal tendencies. And what is missing from these quotes? Context, you great lummox! You have never read the books from which the quotes were taken. Consequently, you are unaware of whether he is proscribing or prescribing these scenarios. I have manipulated you just as Uncle Al and his ilk do. See how easy it is? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

"Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas." Wikipedia - Carbon dioxide next question, what's a greenhouse gas? Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. Wikipedia - Greenhouse gas next question, what's the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is a process by which radiative energy leaving a planetary surface is absorbed by some atmospheric gases, called greenhouse gases.

There are extremists on both sides. At this point, it's just a numbers game... Lots of people are trying to model the trends, and the effects of all the greenhouse gases we're releasing into the atmosphere. No one has a definitive answer yet, and since the issue is becoming more and more political instead of purely scientific, we probably won't have a consensus until it's far too late to change anything. Personally, I don't see how the environment could possibly remain unchanged with all of this industrialization. To me, the question isn't whether things will change, but how and how much. Human extinction in 50 years looks like one hell of an exaggeration, but a global increase of a degree or two by then, coupled with climate shifts in individual regions (Some become warmer, some get cooler, some get wetter, some drier, etc)? Seems plausible, if the numbers hold.

Hey, we can do whatever the hell we want to this planet, but we have to think of the consequences. We're the only species that has the capability to render this planet inhabitable (At least for us). Don't forget that things that are beneficial for the ENVIRONMENT may not be beneficial to us. And I know you keep making the argument over and over that the human race can adapt to any change... It's true that our technology would be able to sustain us further than we would normally be able to, but there are limits. As I keep saying, we need actual numbers, so we know exactly what effect we're having. Until we have that, I'm in favor of some actions to limit our impact. Sure, cut down on pollution... Switch to renewable energy... These are good things regardless of the greenhouse effect.
