Re: Who is stirring the pot, changing equilibriums
The weather is the weather and it will change. Look at some 0f the trends in the past...Some very very hot days in the distant past. Like on this day in 1908 it was 124 degrees in Podunk Texas etc... More CO2 in Earths ancient atmosphere than even today.
3 Ice ages. Theorhetical snowball Earth..my goodness Holmes whats a planet to do?
I have a feeling we are being inadvertantley weaned off of fossil fuels by sheer economics. We may not go gently but everyone has a breaking point.
If gas get to around 4.00 a gallon you will eventually see a greater trend in smaller cars and hybrids. And more Hummers garaged.
If gas get to around 5.00 a gallon you will see more mopeds and motorcycles.
At 6.00 a gallon thats 120 bucks for 20 gallons of gas....
I will be biking it to work. When gas exceeds your car payment wont that be a laugh.
Yep the global warming may be due to the fuming heat rising off our heads at the gas pumps.

However, it's important to remember that just because previous climate changes have been natural does not necessarily mean that all climate change must be natural.

On the contrary, if Homo Sapiens sapiens are a natural consequence of Earth and the Cosmos then who's to say anything that humans affect is un-natural.

However, it should not be forgotten that people, unlike plants and algae, can alter their effects on the environment to accomplish a purpose.
However, it should not be forgotten that people, unlike plants and algae, tend to be more interested in whats happening on they're favorite reality telelvision show than what effects they're single passenger Hummer is having on the environment.
