Climate can change naturally or artificially.

it seems that only Americans believe that humans activities have no effect on climate, I wonder why that is.
China has just overtaken the USA as the number 1 world polluter.

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.

Opps… neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922 as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 96 years ago.

“This warming in Norway in 1922 must have been caused by Model T Ford emissions or possibly from horse, cattle and reindeer.â€

So you believe lobbyists and politicians instead of scientists? That’s not something I would publicly announce.

Every state has a big foot. Been looking at the sky since 1975 and have yet to see a real space ship. Not even peeps from other planets can lick the speed of light thing and make it here. We will never make it to another planet let alone star system. But you can bet the house there are millions of other planets with life on them.

Has CO2 increased in the atmosphere since we started burning coal?
Is that increase correlated to Humans... or are there any other source?
If there is no other source. Its humans.


Does CO2 affect the environment in any way?
If yes.. then its human caused.


Do this on all other gasses / pollutants.. and its pretty damn easy to figure out.

We have warmed many times before over the last 2.89 billion years. We have also cooled off many times.

How do you tell which portion of climate change is man made, and which is natural, when natural climate change has fluctuated in the extreme?

Look at the Rate of change..

Did it increase much faster after we started, compared to other times?
