What New York will look like in 20-50 years if nothing is done to stop or slow Global Climate Change- with noted sea level rising.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The red areas are areas that will be covered by water in 20-50 years if nothing is done to combat climage change

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ice pack from the Greenland glacier, falling off the main glacier, due to unusually fast warming.

Global Warming has hit areas closer to the Equator the worst, this is a lake bed in Africa that has dried up much earlier than previously expected.

Time for a Change in our Environment and Energy Policy

Time for an Administration that actually believes that there is a problem, and has a plan to do something about it!

people are getting more serious about fighting climate change, despite the complaints of a few fringe elements of our society who do not believe in basic scientific research and methods and have a bizarre distrust of people who have spent their entire lives studying the climate and its changes, went to noted universities, and are respected in the scientific community.

To keep this in context, the small number of right wing Global Warming deniers are also people who do not believe in Evolution or the Big Bang theory, two other well respected theories (definition: a scientific explanation of phenonenom based on emperical data).

Global Warming deniers tend also to be Young Earth Creationists who believe the Earth is 6000 years old, despite the overwhelming evidence that the Earth is 4.5-4.6 Billions years old, fossil evidence, radiometric dating, carbon dating, strata comparisons and dating, ice core drilling data, etc, etc.

These people tend to be the type of people who do not believe in ANY scientific theory or method that leads them to disagree with Conservative Christian leaders in Republican churches, such as Rod Parsley, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and others who tell them that the Bible should be taken as the literal truth.

If the church that these type of people belong to told them that the Earth was hollow, and that dinosaurs lived underground, they would believe it without question- that is why Biblical literalism has no place in the 21st century in a global economy. We need a population and a workforce tha

We need a population and a workforce that is educated and has a respect for the scientific methods that have given us inventions like the Airplane, the internet, penicillin, polio vaccine, and other important human milestones that require a view of the world that is flexible and changing.

The reason why people who believe in the scientific method, and who do not believe in Biblical literalism, is because science changes over time.

Conservatives do not like change! They do not like the idea that 10 years from now, science has a different theory on time, or gravity, or on how diseases spread. They can't adapt to the changes that science requires. Science is changing constantly- that is why it is great!

When new evidence and data comes in that contradicts old evidence and data, they are compared, and the better more accurate data/evidence replaces the old and out of date data.

For instance, Astronomers once had the theory that pluto was the farthest planet in our solar system. Then they got better instruments, and found out that Pluto had a sister planet or that it was a double planet, then they got even better instruments and found that there were other Pluto sized planets beyond Pluto.

What changed? New and improved data and evidence came in, and they changed their theories. That doesn't mean that we can't trust or rely on theories, because they can change, the reason why scientific theory is better, is because it is constantly improving.

At one time, science had the theory that Mars had alot of water on its surface. Why? Because they looked in their telescopes and saw what looked like canals that we see here on Earth. They used that data to form a hypotheses. Eventually, they data was reviewed and put through tests, and that hypothoses became a Scientific Theory.

Later, they found out that Mars no longer had large amounts of water flowing on its surface. Why? Because those other scientists were stupid or crazy? No! Because new instruments and techniques allowed them to see Mars better and so new data and evidence came in, and so new hypotheses were formed, and they were checked and rechecked, and peer reviewed, and eventually a new theory that Mars no longer had water flowing on its surface was formed.

Some people just want their lives to be simple, and that the people "in charge" tell them the same thing and never change, because it is hard to deal with constant change- it can be stressfull and people don't want their lives to be complicated.

But life is inherently complicated and complex, and when you try to make things so they never change, you get ridiculous beliefs that aren't based on data and evidence, because beliefs don't have to change.

The same beliefs that the Earth is 6000 years ago, were believed by people 1000 years ago. If people 1000 years ago believed the Earth is 6000 years old as the Bible says, then wouldn't the Earth be 7000 years old? Who is right? The Bible or Logic?

How can the Earth be both 6000 and 7000 years old?

Maybe you were not aware of this Gorbash, but the pictures of the stranded polar bears being used as evidence FOR global warming has been debunked.

To help your cause, I can send you pictures from Florida when I was there in April this year. You can see that it was warm in Florida when here in Ohio, it was cold.

I have some pictures at the beach, where it was 85 degrees and Ohio had snow. Those pictures might convince the doubters. Let me know if it will help.

Oh, I just remembered, I had a picture of my neighbor's daughter from last August. She lost her ice cream off her cone and was crying. The picture includes the ice cream on the sidewalk, melting away from the heat.

That could help your cause.

how sad for you gorby that you seem to be the only one interested in your silly rants......no wait a minute! so am I

seems that the scientists in New Zealand have decided that farting is the cause.........and they are trying to figure out a way to make the cows & sheep stop farting.

are THESE scientists crazy too? are they not educated enough? are THEY being paid off by big oil? LMAO

Dprin - "gorbash, the cut & paste champion of propaganda! LOL"

It beats having to think, and put your thoughts into words that can convince others.

Just paste a bunch of jpgs, and type a statement, "This is true. Believe it or you are stupid" and you move on to the next thing.

Sort of a pictorial ""Arguing like a liberal" if you will...

Just imagine the FEAR that is in Gorbash’s heart Dprin. If it was true that in 50 years we could be under water, I would not be around to notice, but Gorbash would be in his golden years, hoping his FEMA issued flotation device passed inspection.

But it is his style. More power to him I guess.

no matter what those crazy liberals say or do, we cannot control the weather, climate, ozone layer, cows & sheep farting............or whatever their crayons & markers make up.........LOL

We cannot "control" it, but we sure as hell can protect it. I can't believe there are arrogant douchebags that think what they do has NO EFFECT on the enviornment. Every one of our actions has consequences.

Pumping tons of crap into the atmosphere WILL have negative effects. The greenhouse effect. Acid rain. S, SO2, SO3, NO, NO--all that crap comes from burning fossil fuels and leasds to acid rain.

The same Conservatives who don't believe in Global Warming, are the same ones who don't believe in Evolution, Stem Cell Research, or the Big Bang Theory.

They don't understand what a Scientific Theory is!

It is an explanation of natural phenonenom using the scientific method and physical data.

ahhhhhhhh gorby, MOST of us intelligent ADULTS do understand one thing (among other things)

Theories are just Theories.........they are not truth, fact or anything else.

Only truth is truth only fact is fact

Scientific Theories include the Theory of Gravity, Theory of Plate Tectonics, Theory of Transfer of Energy.

Do Conservatives display the same bizarre and unscientific skepticism of the Theory of Gravity? NO!

They only choose to disbelief science when it doesn't fit their wrongheaded political agenda!

They want to undermine seperation of church and state, and want to proselytize and preach to public school students with tax payer money, so they came up with "intelligent design"

They don't want regulations on greenhouse gases and they don't want to have to conserve energy, they don't want to change energy policy to more responsbile clean renewable energy like solar and wind energy. In short they don't want to do what it takes to stop warming greenhouse gases because it will cost them money. They choose not to believe the science, becuase they are selfish.

Scientists, in lab coats and in universities, who have spent their entire lives studying climate using the scientific method and collecting physical data, came up with the theory, not Al Gore.

But Conservatives don't believe in science, so I wouldn't expect you to care or even be able to contemplate what I am talking about.

Just like Conservatives don't believe in Evolution either.

Their pastors (who are from backwards religious towns in the South) tell them not to, and they obey those southern fools.

Strange how so many people will bet their lives on religious faith, yet question modern day science? I never could figure that out? My question has nothing to with doubt of any religion not being genuine, just the fact that most religions are old and based on faith. Yet modern day science is always questionable, go figure?

gorbash, again your evolution is THEORY and nothing else.............there is NO proof that it is right or wrong no matter HOW many times you go over & over it...........it's still just THEORY.

the bible is no proof either (in the conventional sense of proof) but we Christians (which you HATE because your mommie wouldn't give you some stupid doll) have FAITH & BELIEVE what GOD wrote..........

gangster that is why they are called THEORIES........not TRUTH......not FACT, just THEORIES.............look it up........it is a bunch of suppositions based on whatever "science" calls research............no matter how skewed, how thin the thread is.......it is still not PROOF or TRUTH.

let's see, is the gravity issue called the TRUTH of gravity, the PROOF of gravity or the THEORY of gravity? how about the BIG BANG? what do you science nuts call it? the THEORY of the big bang, not the FACT of the big bang, the PROOF of the big bang............

We have no Idea how or why “Aspirin” works? only theories, yet we sell and swallow the pills by the millions every day. Think about how many cancers there are? we have no idea how or why many cancers are caused, yet we treat many cancers today with techniques we have no idea how or why they destroy cancer cells other then theories, Yet millions of Americans are treated and cured every year. We have theories that the universe is endless, yet no one ever argues with this theory? I certainly never met anyone who actually has gone to the end of the universe to prove it? My question was Religion, Certainly there has not been proof in my life time as to which religion is indeed the real religion or God? It is all theory, Hence the need for faith correct? People are willing to give their live to a God they never met or have proof exists. But when you look at photos of ice melting or gone all together on mountains that always had ice before, people are skeptical? When your grandparents told you stories of fresh water creeks so clean they could drink out of and fish out of, And that same creek today now has hazardous to your health signs posted all around it, people are skeptical? Theories are indeed the reason and way things are discovered and the way cures for diseases are found. Look at penicillin? The man had a theory and injected mold into his and his sons veins, this theory never tested before today saved millions if not billions of lives. The fact is, everything in life began once as a theory, nothing more than idea based on as little as perhaps a day dream or passing though

A proud Liberal, and a proud Atheist, I don't make excuses for who and what I am, and i will fight back against the Pat Robertsons, Glen Becks, James Dobsons of the world, but I won't lay off the the Ayatollahs or Mullahs either. I will push for radical change, against Theocracy and for Secularism and Atheism, against Free Market Capitalism and for Socialism, against Dogma and for Free thought. I will fight against the Right Wing and against Conservatism.
