January 20, 20179 yr It's refreshing to be on the same side as mtn ref for once. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this one.
January 20, 20179 yr I truly believe in global warming. One of many man made things to contribute is cities. Cities made of concrete an drew black top, replacing trees and grass and displacing waterways that would naturally absorb that solar heat and reproduce it into oxygen and energy. Instead the concrete, brick and blacktop is absorbing that heat. Also the industrial revolution I truly believe helped aid in global warming. Can't convince me putting all that dirt in the air isn't causing heat to sTay trapped in out atmopshere. When every year is the hottest ever on record it starts becoming more than a coincidence. And yes I rrcycle

January 20, 20179 yr Plenty of cities yes, but what were the buildings and roads made of? Mostly stone for buildings and mud for roads.
January 20, 20179 yr It was a link to a wiki page and states the data was reconstructed. So in short avg global temps were not being tracked 1000 years ago. Best I can find is data going back to 1880. But for arguments sake let's say the 1000 year number is correct. That makes it .0000002222% of the planets existence. Is that really any better? And who said do nothing? Wind energy just isn't a viable option. I think solar could be but it's expensive and the technology isn't where it needs to be. Why not to the bolded? Every time I drive I-74 from Ky to Iowa I pass by dozens upon dozens of windmill farms amidst the endless sea of cornfields. Those people in Central Illinois are most decidedly not folks who tow the liberal line. Hell, there's a good 30 miles of road signs out on the edge of properties abutting the interstate talking about how Illinois' gun laws are foolish. Are those country farmers that nuanced in their political beliefs?
January 20, 20179 yr Plenty of cities yes, but what were the buildings and roads made of? Mostly stone for buildings and mud for roads. And yet the climate changed. That's my point. The climate has changed before man was here, the climate will change wnem man is gone.
January 20, 20179 yr Keep burning that styrofoam for heat, folks. Hell, it doesn't matter. No way in hell our world's massive population explosion in the last 50 years could possibly make a difference.
January 20, 20179 yr Of course the climate changes, duh. Always has, always will. Climate change has been politicized, follow the money.
January 20, 20179 yr Author Do I detect sarcasm? :lol2: No way I consider ou one of best ones on here.
