The horrible effects of global warming....

[Snee]

Oh, and try to reduce the impact we are making on the environment. Just in case, like, you know?

Oh, and be nice to animals. (Well, we just should be!)

Go hug a tree, already.

Go hug a tree, already.

That can be dangerous if there is a squirrel collecting nuts.

If one believes in the global warming theory or not one still can't deny that polution is not a good thing.

I dunno', I always thought pol was a nice bloke.


Pollution is bad tho'.

j2k4, as incredible as it may seem, global warming could well bring on another ice age.

As incredible as it may seem, I am well aware of this odd fact and phenomenon (I am actually reasonably well-versed on the subject), but chose to employ the terribly convenient irony provided thereby to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re.....re-re-re-re-re-re-re-raise the issue, which has been thrashed within an inch of it's life untold times hereabout.

Perhaps you missed this, somehow?

Hobbes: That particular article was indeed based on local conditions, however, it has global consequences. If stress, in the form of drought, or anything else, can cause forests to emit CO2, changing weather patterns, such as El Ninos, could have catastrophic effects in unexpected ways.

When I proposed that plants might pick up the extra CO2 and thus grow more vigorously, you posted an article that a particular forest was emitting CO2, suggesting, I thought, that with excess CO2, the plants were not stepping up their usage.

Upon reading the article I noticed that it was lack of water, not excessive CO2 that was the problem, so my premise might still stand that in the presence of adequate water and sunlight, plants might grow more vigorously than before.

We all know that local weather patterns vary, and there are times of starvation and bounty for plants and animals alike.

Since I see no reason for global warming to cause drought, I'm not sure what point you were making.

I agree that anytime one changes the components of an environment it adjusts to a new equilibrium, with sometimes drastic changes.

I just felt compelled to make my statement because it seemed to me that the original poster was mouthing words he did not fully understand.

l see, you were just trolling, well that's OK then, after all, you are a Conservative.

Perhaps a 'Trolling' smiley would make your intentions clearer, l shall search for one for you. Here you go ->

Explain? I am assuming that this post is not directed at me since I am NOT a conservative and any claim that I was trolling is patently specious.

My initial post clearly indicted that pollution was a problem.

I went on to say that people not fully vested in the subject were running around like "chiken little's" screaming that the sky was falling.

Where is the CO2 going? To plants. We don't have to wish it away. CO2 is a critical element in the cycle of plant/animal symbiosis. I felt his comments were a bit hysterical.

I was making a point.
