    global warming....

    these two stories I found disturbing....
    http://au.news.yahoo.com/061221/2/11utm.html

    about a bushfire burning on the same day as this!

    http://au.news.yahoo.com/061215/2/11sd8.html

    a flood possibly postponing the start of school, in the same fucking country, same fucking day. So much extreme shit going on, it is unbelievable to say the least. Nothing to fear, but interesting all the same. Has really made a few changes in my life lately, I am really not sure what the solution is, as my belief is if we go extremely to far the other way, it could have the same effect...
    I have studied some wicked things this country does but never have I seen anything as crazy as this!

      Yeah, the weather is definitely fucked up this year. It's freezing cold here in the south of Spain.

          here in Holland it's supposed to freeze 10 degrees celcius, but instead it's a comfortable 10 degrees celcius plus.

          Since I live near the sea I'm planning on building an ark. Shouldn't take long for my village to look like atlantis...

                  Why people attribute this crap to global warming I have NO idea. One major volcanic eruption spews more "pollutants" into the atmosphere in ONE eruption than the entire human race has put into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial age. So, being that we are fleas on the backs of a dog, and taking unneccessary credit for NORMAL TERRESTIAL WEATHER PROCESSES, where does that leave us? Global warming is not something we HELP, but it's definitely NOT something we've caused. Remember, we are in an interglacial period, the last ice age ended not even 12,000 years ago... (more like 10,400). Here's some science (GASP HEAVAN FORBID REAL SCIENCE AND NOT DOGMA) to help you to understand how it works:

                      Known causes of global climate change, like cyclical eccentricities in Earth's rotation and orbit, as well as variations in the sun's energy output, are the primary causes of climate cycles measured over the last half million years. However, secondary greenhouse effects stemming from changes in the ability of a warming atmosphere to support greater concentrations of gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide also appear to play a significant role. As demonstrated in the data above, of all Earth's greenhouse gases, water vapor is by far the dominant player.

                              Are you a scientist? What the hell does "cyclical eccentricities" mean. I didn't know webmasters had that kind of vocabulary

                              I think everything has a part in the earths changing. Regardless of what the true main cause is, there is something fishy going on. It started a couple years ago. Massive tornado outbreaks, hurricane season that was huge, tsunami's, higher temp average and more.

                              Where I am, it was 12 degrees last night and this morning its 40. Thats pretty strange. Also, 25 years ago, there used to be 3 feet of snow on the ground in the winter. I always remember playing in the deep snow with my brother. I haven't seen that in years. Things are warming up for sure.

                                      Tornadoes and hurricanes have been much worse in the past, and tsunamis are caused by earthquakes and have nothing to do with weather paterns. Its also been much hotter in the past etc.

                                                  There are a lot of factors involved... take the time to do the research yourself. The earth's position in the Precessional Cycle, the strength of the earth's magnetic fields, the sunspot levels, tectonic plate activity... Like I say, do the research..things ARE warming up, that's not a matter of question. Blaming that process on humanity is silly. Yes, we play a contributory role in the situation depreciating more quickly.. but that's about IT.

                                                      I should also point out, that 25 years is an EYEBLINK of time on the scale of global weather patterns.. To get anything CLOSE to accurate as far as gauging cyclical weather, you need to go back MILLENIUM to have an accurate snapshot of trends and what the patterns/cycles are or could be.

                                                          I'll finally concede that perhaps recent climate change is cyclical or it's caused by man. I really don't know.

                                                          But can anyone tell me that curbing man-made pollution is a bad thing?

                                                                  But can anyone tell me that curbing man-made pollution is a bad thing?
                                                                  Absolutely not in the least.. man's pollution and influence have done a lot of harm to the environment, creating marine deadzones, the destruction of millions of plant and animal species (half of which we never even knew existed before they were wiped out), all different kinds of things. Everything should be done to put these things to an end, for the better of the entire world. But to try to blame humanity for something like "global warming" is very much fear mongering, and mostly posturing for political purposes.

                                                                  I like to call a spade a spade.

To get anything CLOSE to accurate as far as gauging cyclical weather, you need to go back MILLENIUM to have an accurate snapshot of trends and what the patterns/cycles are or could be.

Pollution was way way way worse from 1900 till the mid to late 80's. Its MUCH MUCH better now than its been in over 100 years. Thats what I dont get. Why would it suddenly effect us now when things are much better?

And you were inititally educated where? I've left plenty space for your academic achievements - degrees and doctorates and also for your international awards. Just post a list when you have an hour or so to write this up.

All the polutants, gases and misc other factors are still things that are bad for mother earth. They may play a role in global warming ... whether its a big role or a small role, its still bad and no good for our planet.

                                                                                                          We have so much energy around us in solar, wind, magnetic and more, I just don't understand the need for gas. Once again, its all about money and not about whats right.

The sad truth is that unless the system changes dramatically, or there's some kind of cataclysm in the meantime, you can't change the nature of humanity, which is, overall, self-preserving and often greedy. I do always hope for the best, and maybe someday people will wake up. I just don't bank on it lol.

I undertook a bunch of research on weather patterns and historical climatology to support some archaelogical research I was doing at the time... And as anyone can imagine weather plays a huge factor in how different societies develop, grow, prosper, or disappear, and on coastlines and the submergance of different archaeological sites.

                                                                                                              Yep, geek haha.

Granted, I'm sure there's some things that are better managed in certain places, but I'd be willing to guess the majority of all that "save the world hippy shit" still applies today -- just isn't in the media like is was back in the 80s. Doesn't mean it's not happening, though.

And you were inititally educated where? I've left plenty space for your academic achievements - degrees and doctorates and also for your international awards. Just post a list when you have an hour or so to write this up.

Awesome stuff - the ability to browse the net, editing out content which displeases us and then using Ctl-C and Ctl-P can make us all masters of the universe, eh?
                                                                                                                      Yes you are right. We'll talk again in 5 years and see if we are all robbing stores in order to steal air conditioners so we can all keep from dying. Webby I know you are old enough to have been around for all the other world wide epidemic catastrophes. Is it just long term memory loss or... Arent we all supposed to be dead from some new plague by now? Or an Ice age, or hurricanes were supposed to radically destroy most of the south east this last summer? Ozone hole was growing super fast and we all would be wearning special spaceman suits in order to not get cancer. The soil was going to erode and we wouldnt be able to grow any food. Forests were all going to be so depleted that we would have no oxygen in the air. Gloom and doom, gloom and doom BOOOO!! BOOOO! BOOOO! Scary stuff yo.

Granted, I'm sure there's some things that are better managed in certain places, but I'd be willing to guess the majority of all that "save the world hippy shit" still applies today -- just isn't in the media like is was back in the 80s. Doesn't mean it's not happening, though.

We've seen obviously none of that was true. The underlying issue is that people only get research grants if there is a pressing issue. They hype it up and continue to get paid. Most research scientists only get paid by grants.

                                                                                                                                          I dunno man. Case in point, I keep hearing about certain lakes in Colorado where I'm now at, that it's advised to limit the fish you eat from those lakes due to raised mercury levels. Years ago, I remember some SF Gate articles when I was growing up near San Francisco that mentioned one probably should limit your fish intake from the bay to at most once a month, due to the shit dumped in there. From my point of view, I see little trend toward a "cleaner" planet. Granted, I'm not seeing the doom and gloom some of those media buys in the past predicted, but I do see a lot of steady erosion of available resources happening too.

                                                                                                                                          *shrug* Just my point of view, though, and again, posed by the media.

Granted, I'm sure there's some things that are better managed in certain places, but I'd be willing to guess the majority of all that "save the world hippy shit" still applies today -- just isn't in the media like is was back in the 80s. Doesn't mean it's not happening, though.
                                                                                                                                                      Excuse the interuption psili - in answer to your first question, no. Sure there are regional aspects, but overall the tendency is an increase in deforestation and decline in species.

                                                                                                                                                      Some regions have arrested the denuding of terrain, but it's clear that once one area gets under control, another part of the planet starts to rip up forests. This is being monitored by some international orgs with access to satellite facilities. For example, they can pinpoint the area surrounding a small village somewhere in China and see the evidence of deforestation around that area - and maintain data of the overall. Had access to some of this a while back, - least up to a level (need security clearance otherwise) - this research/monitoring is being financed big-time by a number of governments who are also dumping funding for sustainable projects into a endangered regions globally.

                                                                                                                                                      Marine life (hell, this is too long for GFY ) and land species are also under pressure (read threat). Can point to one area which was very rich in coral 40 years ago. Now, the coral is dead in that short time. Despite that, National Geo declared it the "most intense biodiverse place on the planet". Considering it is not the Amazon basis, but just north of Panama - that says a lot about what was the "world's greenhouse" in the center of South America.

                                                                                                                                                      Sustainability/climate and ecological change is a long and complex story - with each interacting with the other. But... good news, there is a lot more awareness now than in the past and even governments are paying attention and many are allocating very substantial budgets to aid and preserve targetted regions of the world which are considered to be under pressure. At the same time there are starts of change on different levels... eg in architectural design when used for the construction of homes, with the object of making homes more self-sustainable and with lower emission levels etc.

                                                                                                                                                      Doubt doubt the damage already done will never be replaced - the cost is more than anyone could comprehend. The first stage of arresting the damage has started, but far too slow in happening. "Civilization" always was a problem - looks like that is here to stay until the last gulp for air while trying to get a tank of gas - a human trait

                                                                                                                                                          Thus the reason I don't understand why people are against yet another push for global change in regard to how we interact with our environment.

Case in point, I keep hearing about certain lakes in Colorado where I'm now at, that it's advised to limit the fish you eat from those lakes due to raised mercury levels. Years ago, I remember some SF Gate articles when I was growing up near San Francisco that mentioned one probably should limit your fish intake from the bay to at most once a month, due to the shit dumped in there. From my point of view, I see little trend toward a "cleaner" planet. Granted, I'm not seeing the doom and gloom some of those media buys in the past predicted, but I do see a lot of steady erosion of available resources happening too.

                                                                                                                                                                  Got some pics taken in Texas years ago - in a large valley which was like a national park and rich in ecology/species. That whole valley (and it's a big area!) is now totally devasted. There are no leaves on the trees - they are all dying and little wildlife left.

                                                                                                                                                                  Apparently the main source of the problem was emissions from oil refineries in that area and where the local conditions mean't that these emmissons ended up as a cloud of pollution over the valley. Sad stuff...

                                                                                                                                                                  Sure mercury is a problem, but not alone in the cocktails fish are fed. Analysis of water from a large number of rivers (a US survey) showed common traces of chemicals - mercury, the residues of chemicals used in Viagra, birth control pills and (dammit - forget the brand name) - anti-depressants. So... we got the fish high on Viagra, but taking their birth control pills and some anti-depressants to keep em happy

Just some normalized trend over population centers to limit their ability to procreate based on the carrying capacity of their ecosystem and those systems around them.

                                                                                                                                                                          I honestly don't get it. The republicans I hang with now days say similar shit about global warming...their answers usually are..."who cares I won't be around to see it all happen."

NOTHING. Its the gloom and doomers that piss me off. Do all we can to help keep the planet clean and for things to not needlessly die. We'll see in time this was another silly scare mongering money grab. Its the intentions of people that push it I have the problem with.

This was assumed to have become extinct a few years back and was a major factor in the future of several rainforests. Alex eventually found a very small pocket of these frogs and managed to preserve them and with others, is spreading them into new forest territories to encourage/restore the ecology back to it's previous state.

The snake was very interested in "performing" and eventually attacked. Could not believe the power of that "punch" against the perspex - if it was glass, chances are the snake would have broken the glass. It was more like a strong human punch - and inclined to have great respect for snakes now *lol*

Amazing when you think that is the limit of concern for the nation they supposed to represent
