Six Degrees

[jadnifer]

Did anyone see the show on the Discovery Channel Sunday night called Six Degrees?

It was a 2-hour show about how the world would change at each degree up to six degrees due to global warming.

I hope that I remember this correctly...if I get something incorrect please feel free to correct me.

At one degree: A lot of the glaciers and icebergs will be melting at a constant rate. They are already melting some now, but they will be melting at a much faster rate.

At two degrees: There will be much less rainfall that will horribly affect our crop growth and farms arent going to be able to function because they wont have enough water for their animals and enough water to keep their crops growing.

At three degrees: There will be many more natural disasters, such as hurricanes even worse than Katrina. These disasters will devastate.

At four degrees: Many shore lands will be underwater because there will be so much more water and it has no where else to go but on shore.

At five degrees: It will be horribly devastating and life as we know it now will not exist. They said that if the human race was able to deal with this extreme heat increase that way of life would be drastically changed.

At six degrees: Most major cities that are anywhere near water will be underwater. If humans couldnt really survive five degrees then they really wouldnt be able to handle six degrees.

Some interesting points was there is a glacier in India that feeds the Ganghes river that gives people there their livelihood. Once it starts melting at a continuous rate, the Ganghes will have an abundance of water but once that glacier is gone, it will devastate the people.

They also said that right now, hurricanes only go to 5 on the scale of how bad they are. They say if the weather keeps getting hotter and they keep getting worse weather they will have to add a six to the scale.

New York will be a state that will be horribly devastated by an increase in water because most of their stuff is underground like the subways for example.

What do you guys think about global warming? Do you think that Michigan will be horribly affected by weather change because of the Great Lakes?

I would really like to know what you guys think about this subject.

I think with the amount of research that being done now and all the studys that have come out we need to stop calling it Global Warming and start calling it Climate Change. Why? Because we know enough to know we have no idea whats going on.

More and more studys are being released that say that it is not CO2 thats the problem, it't the Sun. A year ago the Sun wasn't considered a factor in this... even though the Sun accounts for 99% of all energy on Earth (the other 1% comes from the other Stars) 6 months ago people started admitting that the Sun accounted for 40-60% of global warming... Canadian researchers releasaed reports last week that should have you all scared as hell. The Sun is going wonky. Sun spots are not forming as they have historically formed. The Sun did this once before in recorded history. We called it the Mini-Ice Age. We had a "year without a summer" and other horrible things. You think the weather is going to get funky with 6 degrees of warmer? Try it at 3 degrees colder. Warmer makes stronger storms. Colder makes far stronger storms and pop up out of nowhere. You think the weather is unpredictable now? Try it at 3 degrees colder.

When are they going to build a 3D Weather Model that has clouds in it? When is cloud formation going to be put into the "global warming" equations? When are people going to actually look at the data and get a fucking clue? Historically... it gets warmer... and CO2 goes up. Just like it's doing now.

Gore and his lapdogs are getting rich off your hysteria.

Don't gete me wrong... I'm all about lowering emisions... for our health, not the climate.

We can't change the Sun and how it's acting. We can watch, wait and pray.

BTW... I have about 5 or 6 Global warming threads on here somewhere....

"Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century. If a trend, comparable to the one found in this study, persisted throughout the 20th century, it would have provided a significant component of the global warming the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports to have occurred over the past 100 years," he said.

Amusingly enough the big scare in the 50's was that we were entering another iceage.... just goes to show you...

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

um, the 70's. We were actually taught in school that we were heading into an ice age. read my links. Thats what Solar science says we are heading for.

Well, a great deal of the northern hemisphere cooling during the 1970s was the effect of particulate shading from dirty(er) power plants and industries, as well as vehicular emissions, Phee. The clean air act in America passes, as well as similar measures in Europe... suddenly, sunlight can penetrate the haze.

Of course, such things as LA smog still exist, and we most certainly have not lowered our carbon dioxide or methane emissions, so we are not out of the woods yet.

Simply put, the argument over whether or not we are causing climate change... is moot. Coal plants belch out tons of mercury. The fine particulates still released from industry and vehicles are a valid health risk.

It simply makes good social policy sense to reduce pollution and create high paying green collar jobs. Who cares if we are causing global climate change? There is money to be made.

I just think that taking rocks that have been at the center of the earth for millions of years, and putting them into the atmosphere can't possibly be good for this place.

Has anyone here been to Mexico city? Global warming or not, we've GOT to stop putting shit into the air. I couldn't breathe in that effing place. Seriously, walking outside was like sucking on a tailpipe. I got bronchial infections down there. IN MY LIFE I've never had a bronchial infection. I felt shittier AFTER running than before running.

So, global warming or not, this pollution has got to stop. Before everyone gets freaking asthma.
