An Inconvienient Truth, - Global Warming

[nadoom]

For god sake doo something, or we are all going down the {bleep}ter.

on watching that film i must say i am quite disturbed by it, we really are on the road to hell at the moment. Do you think we can turn it around? Do we still have time? what about the legacy we are leaving for our children!

I dont think i will to worried about who is to blame when im starving to death in the frozen wastelands of what used to be called the uk

i was considering buying a 4x4, after watching that i dont think i could bring my self to do that.

I think it is a duty for individuals to make an effort, but the airlines and companies produce a massive amount of pollution on their own, so everyone needs to make an effort.

I hope george bush lives till he is 200 so he can see what he has done to the world :-/

@Karlos, everyone

Please try and view An Inconvienient Truth, some of the data presented is truely quite shocking.

The Link between CO2 and Temperature has been already established in the top graph

the bottom graph shows the CO2 present in the antartic ice, going back some 600,000 years. It never went above a certain level.

Are you telling me that global warming doesnt exist?

i reviewed the film and grabbed a few screen shots:

1. This is CO2 And Temperature over the last 600,000 years you can see what happens post industrial revolution. you can see the link between them, it is so clear to see.

2. This shows the atmospheric temperature ovet time, its a screen shot so i couldnt grab the entire graph, suffice to say that the the rises on the right correspond to our recent history.

3. Hottest years on record, many are in the last 14 years

This is the graph I meant. You can clearly see the jump in CO2 levels on the graph (although the scale is such that it makes it seem more dramatic), and you can clearly see a similar jump in the temperature has not happened! In fact, there is missing data on the temperature series: the temperature on that chart does not extend to the present day.

This is clearly due to the fact that the temperature reacts to the rise in CO2 in a slightly delayed manner, That makes perfect sense. You have no evidence to suggest that the rise in temperature will not occur. Whereas that graph which is based on hard facts shows a clear link.

Seeing as there is 600,000 years of precedent showing that there is a link, logic dictates that such a rise will occur, the link is too established to argue over it.

The other 2 grabs show that in the short term the atmospheric temperature is heating.

There are other factors that suggest the world weather is getting more and more unstable, the weather in the uk has changed dramatically in my own life time! All this turmoil in the weather has to be attributed to something, and i think the graphs to a long way to explaining it.

In any case if u beleive the hype or not, is that we need to start living sustainably, we have the tools all we need is the willpower.
