Global warming deniers: read this and be humbled

Just like when deniers show the cold months, the embracers cite: There's a difference between weather and climate.

Yup, you got me because 1 month of record temperatures out of 100's and 1000's of years is definitely proof. Thanks, you've settled it.

Will you comeback when we have a record cold month?

Sheeple - 70's it was global cooling. Think for yourself. Just

because companies ect... go along with it does not mean you have too.

Now this isn't great evidence, but if you have ever actually took the time to pull your head out of the sand it should be more then obvious global warming/climate change is very real and happening as we speak.

lalalala

Face the facts! Humans are destroying the planet.

We are not powerful enough to do so.

You're right, it is. Now show us proof that humans can do anything about it.

The impact of humans on the planet relative to other forces of nature like volcanoes, tsunamis, and some of the larger earthquakes is relatively minor. We're not really that important. This planet is MASSIVE. The natural forces at work on this planet are staggering.

Rick, so what does that make you? Besides, the "global cooling" argument has been debunked. From the abstract of the peer-reviewed article I provide below,

"A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests."

If you think about it, volcanoes exploding are on a scale to the amount of CO2 released by humans over long periods of time. To boot, the bulk of the atmosphere is only 7-10 miles thick. Saying humans in insignificant defies the reality that as a while we are not.

I took the chance to calculate the amount of gasoline burned in the U.S. since 1950. The result? About the volume of the Great Salt Lake; something that's visible from space.

Here's a little something to give you some context as to how small the Great Salt Lake is on the grand scale of the planet. The Great Salt Lake has a max depth of only ~33 feet. The max depth of Lake Erie (the shallowest shown) is ~210 feet.

I'm not saying it's not a lot of gas or that we shouldn't cut our dependence. I'm saying that the planet is freakin' huge and you shouldn't underestimate it.

To follow that up just a bit - the total CO2 released into the atmosphere by volcanoes each year is less than 1% of the amount released by humans through the burning of fossil fuels.

Now which one was relatively minor again?

Thanks.

Cotton, I feel humbled.

The best is the record temps....but they forget to point out the THE REST OF THE ENTIRE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, and even the far western U.S. and Canada, was having COLDER than normal temps during that period.

You're not comparing apples to apples. Colder than normal is less "extreme" than temperature records.

You are an insignificant powerless spec on his earth warm glober. And if you are not vegan you might not want to start throwing rocks bro.
