Looks like we are past the Global Warming thing

[joshh]

GW was created to make money. It's curently making all kinds of money for people...because as GW proves, people are suckers.

Nuclear power is also the real way to go.

The oceans probably did become acidic, killing off the reefs. But that was how long ago? lol. Reefs go through a natural cycle of flourishing and dying, its a cycle that will continue. Now those points you made are correct. A Volcano could have devastating effects on our reefs. Volcanoes actually give off some sort of particles that cause a cooling effect on the earth (Not too familiar with what they are, I do recall the lecture in marine bio, though). There are other things that could be detrimental to reefs as well. So again, theres not really anything you are posting, besides more information, that is disproving what I said.

Theres one difference between volcanoes and humans: One we can control. One we can not.

edit: Also, Im also aware about the volcanoes leaking CO2 into the water. There are hydrothermal vents throughout the floor of the ocean. Those give life to a bunch of different chemosynthetic beings, so its not necessarily ALL a bad thing. Its when it gets into excess, that it is a bad thing.. kinda like CO2 in excess is a bad thing out of water. As is anything in excess, there is an equilibrium to obtain.

On that note, I am out of here for the night.

Methane...you are adding to the problem, have you considered one of our new and improved pilot lights to burn off the excess gas?

I didn't realize we had so many world reknown experts of science on R3V.

OMG we cant talk about current events without being scientists!!! WE cant have opinions, or beliefs all we are, are sheep.
Wow your retarded

[mrsleeve]

Jflip this is for you buddy


Ok CO2 is not the most efficient at trapping heat of the green house gases, that would be water vapor. you analog to the pop having 1% arsenic is irrelevant to this discussion. The amount of CO2 that we have produced in human existence is so small compared to the total CO2 emissions of all the volcanic activity around the globe in one year. I think its on the order of 10x greater than all human CO2. One good volcanic event I guess would push this planet over the edge of no return right, I mean for fucks sakes our leaders are considering taxing farmers for cow farts..

Yes the coral can absorb all that CO2 but hey there are lots of other marine plant life out there that use it too, and what do they make out of it hey yup O2.

Now I have this question when Tambora went off in 1815 and Krakatau erupted in 1883 that all that CO2 released in the atmosphere did not turn the oceans in to carbolic acid and kill off all the life????? Hell one of those eruptions would equal 1000's of time more CO2 than we as humans have ever produced, let alone 2 in less than 100 years. Give me a brake you need to look to the past a bit more.

Yes those 2 eruptions had a climate effect they had a cooling effect for a couple of years till the dust settled and stopped reflecting the sun, but still tell me why all the coral reefs are still here and why the oceans did not turn to acid form all the evil CO2

Fuck you... I love the Philadelphia Eagles too...

you are correct. it was silly of me to overlook sports.

if you follow jflips posts you know theres only 2 things in this world he gives a fuck about
1 is getting huge
and 2 is salt water fish
the rest doesnt matter

[jflip2002]

I have no clue, you are correct lol. First, I didnt really say shit about the warming, I could careless. I just said its ignorant to have your mind closed to either theory.

CO2 is a little over 1%, but thats splitting hairs. Now CO2 may not be of the most abundance, but it is a more hazardous greenhouse gas than most. Its kind of like saying "Well the soda was 99% soda, but 1% arsenic, so its safe to drink". The percentage is irrelevant at this point. Its the impact that gas has. Surely, you can get that.

With the rising CO2 levels the oceans "natural" pH of 8.2 (some think 8.1, whatever) will fall. Water totally saturated with CO2 gets near 6.0. It isnt reasonable for the oceans pH to get THAT acidic. The calcifers in the ocean start to suffer anywhere below 8.0 pH. I do not know the EXACT numbers but coral reefs only occupy about 1% of our earths water, yet they are homes for nearly 70% of marine fish.

So that is why I voiced my opinion regarding the reefs, and not so much the actual global warming, weather, whatever. If youd pull your head out of your ass, and look at my posts, youd realize that.

Not world RENOWN experts of science, just those with a clue. Id suggest getting either one of them, or a treadmill, fatty.

Take your own advise you have no clue.

CO2 is less than 1% of the green house gases in the atmosphere (water vapor makes up 98.xx% of the green house gasses) and CO2 comprises something on the order if .036% of the total atmosphere. We are not haveing a shit of an effect on this ball of dirt's weather. Our weather is driven buy the fucking big yellow orb thats is 1,000,000 times bigger than the earth, and is rather hot. The Fusion reaction powering the sun is not a stable constant rate. It makes more energy at some times and less at others. At the current time its out put is getting greater thus we are warming up slightly. How do we know this, well the little remote controlled trucks that we put up on mars have a weather station on them, funny that mars is warming on the same rate that the earth is huh.

Also the weather on here on this planet is not inherently stable, in fact the last 12,000 years are the exception to the rule for the weather, by studying the ice cores form the poles (that the GW crowd ignored lots of the data from and cherry picked what was usefull to their agenda) will show that the earth used to go through a inversion cycle every 1k-2k years which are rapid warming an cooling cycles. Also that has been proven from the study of the strata of the soil dating back 100 million years.

We are not doing shit as far as the climate change we are just along for the ride so enjoy it, the more you fight it the more its going to hurt. The GW crowd must be very arrogant to think that we can effect the earth on a massive level like you guys suggest.

hahahahahah god youre an asshole

Alarming ej, it puts it into a different perspective, seeing it in "real time".
