CO2 is not a harmful gas. It is a natural gas. CO2 is essential for life to occur on this planet. It's even in the air we breathe. Humans are carbon-based. We need CO2. It's natural and harmless.
Seriously? I think you're just trolling now.

CO2, of course it's natural and harmless at natural levels. It's a natural greenhouse gas that helps regulate our temperature - without it we'd be a giant frozen rock.

But, too much of it is bad. Just like too much water is bad. Or too much sugar. Or too much fat. Or too much oxygen. Or too much methane. Or too much nitrogen. Seriously, the list is endless.

Just because something isn't bad all the time, that doesn't mean it's never bad.

but that chart shows us coming out of the "Little Ice Age" just like FreakyLocz14 said, lol.
....

Which means that the planet is warming up.



Of the 20 hottest years in the past millennium, 10 of them have happened since 2001. (2001-201) And every single year on the list has been from 1983 to the present. Hmmmmmm.

HOAX, the summer in the UK is still crap, the winter is crap, nothing is warmer here :(
-____-

1. The UK is not the entire world. I'm pretty sure that it's just a small island off the coast of Europe (and a little bit of an even smaller island off the coast of it.)
2. Global warming does not mean "OMG THE TEMPERATURE IS GOING TO BE 40 DEGREES CELCIUS EVERYWHERE!!!1!!1!!" It's "The temperature of the entire planet as a whole will rise a few degrees, some places may not experience a noticeable rise, some may experience a huge rise (like the ice caps will).

Ignorance. The only way to rid the planet of it is to stab it in the face with facts. ^-^

About the Polar Ice Caps, I once saw on the show Brainiac (yes, they at least used to broadcast it in the US), that it would only take the global temperature rising by 3°C to completely melt the Greenland ice sheet, resulting in sea levels rising by 7 meters, which is almost 23 feet. I don't know about all of you, but this page on the melting Greenland ice sheet is rather convincing to me.

Who cares? I'm not educated enough on the issue to say one way or the other and I don't think it really matters. Whether it manifests in this way or some other way, pollution is going to be harmful to the environment and we should encourage stronger controls on it.

It matters because global warming is a bigger threat than just general un-environmentally friendliness. In 40 years it's predicted that 15-37% of our known animal and plant species will be extinct. In 90 years the temperature is predicted to be at temperatures that will have been unmatched for 3 million years. The sea level is also expected to rise by almost two metres in 90 years. So places that aren't two metres above beaches, will be underwater.

The damage to ecosystems is also likely to be irreversible, at least without an extensive amount of time (thousands of years) to build it back up. Especially for coral reefs.

Global warming requires a lot more action than usual environmentally friendliness. That's why it matters. :P

Hey there dewd, that's exactly what FreakyLocz14 said. But after Went pointed out that it was going higher than the last one, I made a post saying I didn't see that and said he was right. So I don't know what you're trying to tell me.

This is rude; he probably didn't see the second post. You're acting like he's got something against you, or that he is making some arbitrary remark. Beyond that Global Warming has been denounced as a "hoax" in order for big corporations, that have ties with congressman, to protect their assets so that they can ignore their contribution to global warming and pollution, to make more money.

I firmly believe that global warming is a myth. Forget the Little Ice Age. We're in an ice age right now.
How can you say we're in an ice age? The global temperature is rising greatly and there is now way to deny it. Just look at the graph below:

NASA recently announced global cooling coming up. We're in an ice age, and it's going to get even colder. This is all natural. We see periods of warming and cooling. Nothing to be alarmed about.

I find it funny how you link to a completely random source saying NASA said something, yet there is no mention of this on NASA's website (in fact the say the complete opposite) and no one else is reporting this.

Seems fishy, doesn't it?

Wait! There's more.

This might explain why you couldn't find anything one NASA's site.

Sure does seem fishy.

The Washington Examiner article has nothing to do with your last posted one besides the fact that it involves global cooling. And the only references it's using is from a professor with no credentials and 70 year old data.

That's Jimboot thing is fake.

That article was posted in 2011, that section of NASA's website hasn't been updated or changed in anyway since April 2010. And I highly doubt he took a print screen, then saved it for a year to post an article. :|

Also, stop posting blog posts as proof. They're not proof. They're opinions often based on false statements and lies.

This pretty clearly shows we're not in an ice age:

NASA didn't say that. The article doesn't even say NASA said that. It attributes one quote to NASA that is both truth and in no way conflicts with global warming. None of the people they are quoting seem to suggest they think a small ice age is coming. It seems a bit like a non sequitur created by The Register. And as a satirical site, they're hardly the most credible source.

Either way, it doesn't matter because a 'little ice age' is only a decrease in 1°C, which doesn't compare to global warming.

That NASA page can be found here: http://web.archive.org/web/20100527164214/http://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/big-questions/what-are-the-primary-causes-of-the-earth-system-variability/ It has nothing controversial in it and the information can be found in other places on the site. The page argues for global warming.

We're having the total opposite of an ice age here! Why on earth would anyone think we're in an ice age?

Little Ice Age? Little Ice Age!? *awkward silence* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, I cannot imagine that stopping global warming.

I thought we were in the middle of two ice ages, you know, which would explain why the Earth is getting hotter and polar ice caps are melting.

Hoax? It's clear that the planet is warming up. Ice caps and glaciers are retreating and melting, there is alot of evidence for it!

And the main gas involved in global warming is methane, it's at least 10x worse then CO2, and it's produced naturally. The Earth goes through natural changes of warm and cold periods, even an idiot could tell you that, to be quite honest and blunt.

The amount of CO2 on Earth compared to methane is more than 10x the amount. :P And there's anthropogenic methane.

Besides, the problem is that the amount of CO2 is rapidly increasing. Unless methane is, it's irrelevant. We're not suggesting to have no greenhouse gases, that would result in a gigantic ice age and the extinction of all animals and plants. I think water vapour is suppose to be the biggest contributor to warming anyway.

Here's some more info on methane vs CO2: http://www.slate.com/id/2178595/

If you go by that definition of ice age, but that doesn't mean:

We're in an ice age, and it's going to get even colder.
We're coming out of an ice age at worst and all evidence points towards continued global warming.

The fact that there are polar ice caps is evidence that we are in an ice age.
omg no. The Earth has always had some sort of ice cap, even in a warming period. If fact, taking readings from ice cores from the ice caps is one of the reasons we know of such periods.

Actually, we had polar ice caps before the ice age that made mammals prominent. The cold just spread and therefore we had an ice age, and afterwards it warmed up and we went back to normal.

Your using bad evidence that has nothing to do with your argument.
