Do you think that we should try to stem the tide of global warming on our own by seeding the sky with dust to make it cooler or trying to refreeze or put down layers of reflective white plastic in the arctic? Or do you think that would just lead to more global harm?

As nice as it sounds, it would ruin the diversity of the earth if we could all choose to live in lovely weather. Plus I think having good weather would make the british more cheerful, and we can't have that. |

Well there are actually many other factors if we had nonstop nice weather. Lack of rain for plants to grow, lack of snow in the mountains to maintain rivers leading to widespread extinction of many species of fish....
Every reaction stemming from Earth itself leads into a chain of reactions. |

People still believe in global warming? Oh wait... the Earth isn't warming so they call it "climate change" now. Get with the times. |

It might be rubbish but there is a theory that goes like this: The colder water from the north pole could stop the gulf stream. The gulf stream from mid America gives western Europe far warmer weather. UK is on the same lattitude as Siberia. If the cold water, because of global warming melting the polar caps, stops the Gulf Steam western Europe could be plunged into a new ice age.
So a'la Battlefield 2142.

messing with the weather too much seems risky. those afternoon microburst T-Storms happen for a reason as do Hurricanes, both are ment as massive energy releases that the atmo needs to remain stable. |

Edited by: Grimpak on 20/06/2009 22:43:21 I just want a bit more cool weather.
working outside in the scorching sun at 38ŚC in a 10am-7pm schedule is pants in this weather
**** sakes, a freakin' summer thunderstorm would be great even.
but nooooo, we get this blue sky and more blue sky with spots of blue sky in the sky. ---

You're welcome to get over here and check out finland during the winter. We used to have snow and all, but those were the good old times and now they're gone.

As an environmental scientist, there is something to the idea of increasing the earth's albieto. For those of you wondering what that is, it's the earth's ability to reflect sunlight back into space. Unfortunately this is a temporary fix that will only slow down the process, not cure it. For those who think the globe is not warming, you are so wrong. The numbers are there and they are pretty solid. Alot of environments will see a very slow change, but there are some areas that are seeing significant changes, i.e. Alaska. And to the person who brought up the disruption of the ocean currents, there is no concrete proof that the thermohaline current will be disrupted, but with energy changes in the ocean, this could potentially disrupt that cycle because it requires the exchange of energy to keep moving. Oh, to live in northeastern europe if that were to happen would be the coldest winter you have seen. It is because of this current that milder temperatures reach that far north. What we really need to focus on is channeling carbon back into the earth that was originally stored up in coal or oil. Also, an increase in forest growth would be very beneficial to this as well. Remember, the earth breathes as well. If you look at the numbers for CO2 concentration in the atmosphere fluctuates throughout the year, and this is because of our forests. It's like one giant organism, you take out one element and the system will collapse. Imagine removing the lungs from a human, are they going to survive? No. We need to restructure industry so that it takes in the cost of services nature supplies for us. I'm sorry, but cap and trade is not going to solve that. Well, I could go all day on this but I'm going to stop. If anyone has any specific question, let me know and I will try to answer them as quickly as I can.

break it down into a few major points, about a sentence each. and use some paragraphs
and well a) so what if the earth warms a few degrees b) how do we know that a bit more CO2 in the air did change that c) the CO2 released by humans was once in the atmosphere anyways, we just happen to be moving it around a bit. |

earth was hotter back in the time of the dino, but then again, earth has been getting warmer since the last ice age.
what I want to know however, if it's really true that global warming can trigger an ice age tho. ---

yeah, saw some interesting program on that few weeks ago featuring some american "scientists". theye had this theory that once we stop using fossile fuells and a decade or 2, earth will then be able to slowly rebalance the climate, but that we needed a fix now. So theye came up with this bright idear of placing small lenses(about the size of a flashlight) in orbit that'll difuse some of the sunlight away, thus cooling the planet. The idear was to shoot them into orbit using a big cannon(what is it with americans looking for a sollution using either nukes, big bombs or big guns? I mean, seriously, wtf!)
anyway, lenses in orbit, earth would then cool down till climate has managed to fix itself. made me really wonder though, after climate fixes itself, HOW DO THEYE PLAN ON GETTING THOSE FRIKKIN LENSES OUT OF ORBIT AGAIN before theye trigger an ice age. |

Because American's have found that most problems can be talked through. And when that doesn't work a healthy amount of violence will suffice. |
