Climate Change
Is anybody else getting pissed off with this I may be wrong but will make a few points for both sides. I dont think either side will contest the fact the world is getting warmer its the science behind it i.e. the cause that is in question.
Lets assume CO2 is a major cause we need to cut it drasticly like 50% in 5 years anything else is the usual to little to late. This will cause major problems but its like cutting off a gangreous limb to save the life, drastic but better tha dying probably.
At the recent talks they are talking about restricting temp rise to 2 degrees, how pretentious is that do they really think man can take on mother nature & control it. Besides & correct me if I am wrong but there is not one decent model out there they all base the data on far higher emisions than in reality, like 10x as much. So from this botched model they can figure out what 2 degrees needs, really what are they magicians if the data is massaged how can the result be right.
Lets be optomistic & assume we cut Co2 by 50% will it make any diffrence I am thinking no there are far more easier ways to cut Co2 than industry & the car as I understand it.
The oceans are the major producers of Co2 they give it off when it gets hot & the other camp argues its a product of rising temp not the cause. Not advocating getting rid of them mind thats like not breathing because there are pollutants in the air.
Animals that chew grass etc with multi stomachs give off huge amounts of Co2 from there rear. Cows for example so we should all go vege or attach a lighter to there rears & burn it, good for entertainment value me thinks.
Forrest fires or worse peat burning are another area that gives off huge amounts so boost the firefighters allocated. Of course we could stop setting them on purpose to clear land which also reduces your Co2 converters as in trees & grass being the major 2 I think so plant more not deplete them.
What about other plausable things man has done to heat up the planet.
A bomb tests probably did not help plus the hole in the ozone layer.
Why not paint all roads white so instead of absorbing heat reflect it, black soaks up the most & might sound silly but just how much tarmac is there. Thats why buildings in hot countries are painted white keeps them cooler.
Sure there are lots more things we do that have an impact but none of it is addressed nor other ways of reducing Co2 which makes the cynic in me think its just a way to make us become more energy efficient because we are in the S$%£ as the oil is getting a tad low along with quite a few other minerals.
Back to the oceans a minute the other camp says it works like this, temp goes up they give off Co2 as an effect not a cause. This rises & helps with cloud formation causing a blanket from that big radiator in the sky the Sun. Its not perfect it reacts after not before but the Earth shields its self by producing clouds cutting sunlight & hence heat entering the atmosphere. Clever eco system says its getting hotter need more clouds so need more water melt the ice so there is more surface area to create Co2 & hence clouds. Now I think we have a big problem man has meddled in a way that effects the process drasticly. Remember its the surace area thats important extra depth makes no diffrence but in this modern age far more ice has to be melted to increase it. Why any low lying land that would have flooded is now sitting behind dams & dykes so the ice keeps melting but little gain is made in surface area the seas just get deeper not bigger. Mother nature is in crisis it cant achieve what it used to so it will keep melting ice in the hopes of flooding somewhere.
This seems more tenable to me than most of the stuff put out there I can understand the logic & we could do something about it, of course a fair few citys & farmland would vanish till the earth is happy its back on track.
Theres other things that sound far more logical to me also not to mention of course arent we still coming out of an ice age. Does that not mean when it gets to hot the trend will reverse & we will start heading back towards one.
The other argument the anti Co2 lobby seems to give is the Sun has been very active of late meaning more heat coming our way, that combined with the previous problem would I have thought means its getting hotter. Turn up your radiator & that tends to happen. I am hoping to hell these guys are the right ones because there is no way we are going to effect Co2 emmisions in a way that is noticable by the eco system judged on the recent meeting. In fact & I will let you look Co2 is avery small part of the atmosphere but far more importantly the amount created by man is small compared to the overall output so even if we did cut it by 50% cant see it making any diffrence, maybe a couple of years at best.
