Global warming, oh yeah, and Martian warming, and Jupiterian (sp?) warming Options

Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian warming. It seems scientists have noticed recently that quite a few planets in our solar system seem to be heating up a bit, including Pluto.

NASA says the Martian South Pole's ice cap has been shrinking for three summers in a row. Maybe Mars got its fever from earth. If so, I guess Jupiter's caught the same cold, because it's warming up too, like Pluto.

This has led some people, not necessarily scientists, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non-signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists who run their air-conditioning at 60 degrees and refuse to recycle.

Silly, I know, but I wonder what all those planets, dwarf planets and moons in our SOLAR system have in common. Hmmmm. SOLAR system. Hmmmm. Solar? I wonder. Nah, I guess we shouldn't even be talking about this. The science is absolutely decided. There's a consensus.

Ask Galileo.

I looked up a few articles, says it was from a few months ago. I never heard anything of this. It would be pretty funny if it is true though. One article I got to had the scientist who wrote it saying that, according to the pattern they're seeing in the sun's irradiation, we should see a steep cooling in about 15-20 years. if that happens, LOL @ the hippies!

nobody bitin on this? come this is some interesting controversial shit!

[JRockTTU]

Yeah, I heard a while back about other planets having increased temperatures. Funny how you don't hear about it much in the news....

I find it even funnier to observe mankind attempt to control nature.

..

Flipside: Mankind' attempt to destroy nature.

Just saying, two-sides to the coin here.

[James]

Yeah, but no one's really attempting to destroy nature. If they were, I'd think that would be kind of silly, too. Earth was here before us and it will be here after us.

Nuke the planet and wipe out man? So what. The waste will decay eventually. Micro organisms will still exist. Life will go on.

its proven that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation cause emissions of greenhouse gases. signs of global warming are obvious whatever the cause right?
temp has risen 1 degree just in the past 140 yrs (yes this is significant). the coming and rise of the industrial revolution? sounds fishy!
its predicted the earths temp will rise 2.5 - 10.4 degrees by the end of this century making it the HOTTEST since the dinosaurs. so the cycles are that spread apart?

lets just delve into other areas that humans havent had any part in...
in 1991 estimated 4k-50k species went extinct to our activites. rate of extinction is 1k to 10k higher than the natural rate of extinction which is only 2-10 species per year. if you want to know the formula for caluclating this ill be glad to walk you through it.

lets stop believing our activity doesnt have severe impacts on the environment. that belief is just stupid. for the people that say well yes i understand we are killing off animals like whoa this thread is about global warming! so you can understand the affect we have on natural life but you cant seem to grasp our effect on climate?

edit: you are getting this from Fred Thompsons blog? have you looked into the primary sources? that dude is a fucking nutso

Well, even if this is true (which I'm skeptical about), that doesn't mean that the warming is caused by the same thing. Planetary atmospheres are complicated things.

who predicted this? i've never heard it before but i'm interested in reading about it.

They can predict all they want... I remember when I was kid and the big thing was those six-pack soda can holders were going to kill off our fish supply. Or the big one, that we'd be out of oil by the time I was 18...

Yeah, we should be concerned about our emissions, we're putting a lot of crap into the atmosphere but to go off and blame global warming on that and only that is a little brazen. Also, I hate getting only half of the facts.

Even though a lot of the earth is experiencing a warming trend, parts are experiencing a cooling trend. There is glacial loss in some places and glacial growth in Switzerland and Norway. The polar bear population is actually growing out of control (instead of dying off as predicted) and oddly enough, the sun hasn't exploded yet.

Yes, do something about emissions but stop Al Gore from being the spokesperson for it.

[chook]

Why can't people recycle and drive efficient cars casue its the right thing to do??

Christians are supposed to be the stewerds of creation, and take care of the planet and not drive SUV's to church and outdo eachother there.

[moebary]

we're transitioning into the next ice age

[FORSAKENR320]

ice age would be cool... having this hairy back might be trendy and stuff

god dammit impala, how many times do we have to tell you?

Al Gore, the worlds foremost leading expert on atmosphereic science, who himself has performed countless hours of brilliant scientific research for the sole purpose of saving the world, says that man is causing our planet to die, and unless we vote for HIM, the world will be lost! God? Who needs God! We've got AL GORE!!!!

As stated above as such that Al Gore is analogous to God, as he's going to save the world, he is a Pillar of Moral Greatness, and would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER do anything that was deceitful to manipulate public opinion to catapult him into the White House....Don't forget! HE is the world's foremost climatologist! He ALSO created the internet!

And also, we don't live on mars, or jupiter, or pluto, so who cares about those planets? Much like we don't live in the middle-east, so who cares if we drive every last remaining iota of fossil fuel production out of this country and send EVEN MORE of it over to the middle east? HEY! We saved THE ENVIRONMENT! The environment doesn't matter if it's in a middle-easter desert! GO AL GORE! WOOO!

and also global warming means girls wear less clothing so that their beautifulsexual breastboobies and girl-legs are showing more often
