As I have said before...regardless of how or what is causing Global Warming...it is happening. The U.S. Military is preparing for it. THAT alone tells you something. The U.S. Navy is retiring the Carrier Enterprise in 2015 with the new USS. CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford. This will be the first new class of Carriers since the Nimitz Class.
In 2020 the USS. Nimitz will be replaced by the FORD CLASS USS. CVN-79 J.F.K. Except now because of the speed of Global Warming there is not projected to be any Northern Polar Sea Ice Cap left so the Nimitz may be refitted and used as an Arctic Ocean Carrier Group to protect these new sea lanes.
GLOBAL WARMING IS A REALITY. Split Infinity
Yup and I am buying a sailboat soon. Most of us know its coming I just wonder when.

There are some VERY REAL ISSUES that Global Warming is creating. In the Pacific...there are Multiple Island Nations that will be underwater within this decade and they are relocating NOW! Cities on the coast of the U.S. as well as many other Countries are in danger of being Flooded with Ocean Water. Boston right now is building an Ocean Dam as the water level is just a few inches away from flowing over several Docks where buildings are built right on the water.
The Biggest Problem is if the Temps get high enough...this will melt so much fresh Water into the Oceans it will halt Ocean Currents such as the Gulf Stream and we will go into an ICE AGE.
This has happened before...but it will happen quickly if something is not done very soon. Split Infinity

Very good article, I hadn't realized that the methane issue was so critical. Everyone needs to stop farting. That 2050 matches my estimate of extinction but I used all aspects of pollution. I'm pretty sure it is passed the point of no return already. This methane thing sounds dangerous, it sounds like they could possibly use HAARP to help fix it partially. Just fixing the methane problem only gives us ten more years here on earth. I can't believe people can't see what we have done to this planet.

What I am posting is not my opinion. You can check into U.S. Military Plans for Global Warming related Catastrophes. In any Closed System as is the Earths Oceans and Atmosphere...the more Energy pumped in...the Greater the Effect.
We will start seeing Storms of Massive Proportions. There will be droughts in once lush areas and Floods in once Deserts. Tornado activity will and has increased dramatically. There will be wars fought over people migrating from effected areas to stable ones. These are all statements of U.S. Military Planners. The Timetable? End of this decade.
C02 is not even the worse in the issue as the current higher temps are causing METHANE that was locked in Tundra as a gel to turn into a GAS. There is a lot of Gel Form Methane at the bottom of the Ocean and you can google...Methane Gel Bubbles from Alaskan Lakes. Methane is many times the Green House Agent that C02 is and once the Methane floods our atmosphere...we will really have issues. Split Infinity

Well...we wouldn't want to be shooting Radioactive Waste into Space as if there was a Problem with the Rocket...it would come crashing back to Earth.
I agree that Old Fission Style Reactors should be shut down but we need to produce power and we could very easily use Solar Arrays in the Nevada or Arizona Desert and the idea that Solar is not cost efficient is Bull!
We most likely already have Low Temp. Fusion Capabilities but that tech. is being held back as it is clean and very inexpensive.
But you cannot discount the huge issues that Global Warming will have...especially with the creation of Massive Storms. Split Infinity

I don't worry about this, I'll be dead before any extinctions occur anyway. I am in one of the best locations to be in. All I worry about is a bunch of pushy people coming here and starting to take over and tell us what we are allowed to do. This problem we have created is real. Most people who deny something problematic exists have been directly involved in the creation of the problem and will deny it to deny guilt.

The cure to stop global warming or climate change no matter what the cause is to lessen our impact on making it worse. If we quickly reduce carbon emissions and quit deforestation and quit dumping toxins and crap in the water it will help keep the damage down and the earth will heal itself. The alignment of our planet in it's elliptical orbit around the sun does not coincide with a warming effect st this time, that point is way in the future.edit on 6-9-2012 by rickymouse because: (no reason given)

The thin wisps of condensation that trail jet airliners have a significant influence on the climate, according to scientists who studied U.S. skies during a rare interruption in national air traffic after the September 11 terrorist attacks. During the three-day commercial flight hiatus, when the artificial clouds known as contrails all but disappeared, the variations in high and low temperatures increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) each day, said meteorological researchers.

What would happen to the planet if all aircraft was grounded?
A slow deliberate approach must be taken, rather than a knee jerk

My only agenda is TRUTH!
I totally agree that we need alternative energies, but nothing comming down the pipe has any real useful application still .
It is still all primarily gimmicks and rhetoric still unfortunately, nothing substantial and workable yet. It causes me much unhappiness alot .

That small variation in temperature means nothing at all, especially at the local level. I mean clearly the world would never stop air travel, but if something was discovered that could power airplanes that does not release the same byproducts as jet fuel and that did not leave contrails how it was phased in would be irrelevant. If it happened today or decade from now the decrease would be the same. The worldwide impact would be the same. But a 1.1 variation in a small segment of the planet is insignificant.
