llcoolguy972 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yes and No. Yes, it is our fault for speeding up the cycle..No, it is not our fault that global warming exists. Yea, I said that. I think. :-k But because we sped it up, we threw nature out of balance. The Earth would be able to 'heal' itself had the warming happened naturally, but since we've sped it up, things like this are happening. So, we could either wait for the Earth to 'heal' itself (which might not be for thousands of years) or we could use greener energy. There are dozens of different energy sources out there, but people don't want to use them. Mostly because they don't want to put out the money to start.

I think that hit the nail on the head, perfectly. I wish we would put out that money to start, after all, it'd save us money in the long run...

sohkmj1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Humans really are naive. We say we will miss things, but we don't do anything about it. I'm assuming that you or a member of your family drives. I'm also going to assume that you don't turn your computer off at the plug when it's not in use, and I'll guess that you don't really put your maximum effort into reducing your "carbon footprint". Correct me if i'm wrong. And to those who believe that the developing nations (China, India) need to do more to curb their emissions, don't listen to the media; China will need to multiply it's population by six before it meets the same carbon emissions per capita as the average American. By the mighty bolded sentence i assume you're not human? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeitormakeit Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Btw polar bears drown easily and the warming [obivously] melts the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenslime89 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Btw polar bears drown easily and the warming [obivously] melts the ice. The bear has a short tail and small ears that help reduce heat loss, as well as a relatively small head and long, tapered body to streamline it for swimming. The polar bear is a semi-aquatic marine mammal that depends mainly upon the pack ice and the marine food web for survival. It has adapted for life on a combination of land, sea, and ice They can swim very well. I don't know where you got that information from. Oh and here's all the images of polar bears swimming, NOT drowning. Google images EDIT: Obviously they can't swim incredibly long distances, but the wording of your post suggested that they couldn't swim at all. Photos!

Btw polar bears drown easily and the warming [obivously] melts the ice. Where did you pull that from? Polar Bears are some of the BEST swimmers..not to mention that some of their hunting techniques are based solely upon their swimming abilities and their control of themselves in a marine environment :shame: Then again i read somewhere Alaska is one of the countries most affected by Global Warming. ..I thought Alaska was a state...the government lied to us! :-k :notalk: :evil: :ohnoes: -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Erderik Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 It is inevitable. No matter what we do, we can't stop it. We can slow it down, or speed it up, but we can't stop it. It's a shame though, how we sped up that process of extinction. It can take years to create the most beutiful and grand building, or paint the perfect picture. Yet it can all be destroyed in an instant. Mankind was not meant to create, it was meant to destroy. What that is saying, is that it took the Earth how many eons to create the things we have on earth now, but in the last 100 years, how we have deluted what it has made. In a way it is good, as it allows change... [hide=Global Warming, my views.] What I see global warming as, is the Earth pressing the "reset" button. Look at all the things happening now, scientists saying yellowstone is a supervolcano and could erupt anyday, as it is overdue. Theres a 1:20,000 chance of an asteroid (1 mile or bigger in diameter) hitting the Earth every time you wake up, and the odds are getting smaller. So yes, it is in some way reseting itself, wiping the slate clean of the clutter it has accumulated. With the rate things are going, I think the Mayan's were right about 2012...

llcoolguy972 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Polar Bears Turning To Cannibals Holy crap that's really gonna affect me! :o It will effect you. Because you might not be directly effected by a couple polar bears dieing, but it's happening because of global warming, and I have a pretty strong feeling that you live on Earth... There's nothing we can do about it, so why should I care? This is exactly the kind of attitude that's causing things like this. People feel like they can't do anything about this, that they're helpless. But if we caused this, we can stop it (or at least slow it down). Like I said before, there's TONS of alternate energy sources. There's solar power, wind farms, underwater wind farms, we're even getting pretty close to fusion. So don't, for a second, think that there's nothing we can do. There's everything we can do. It is inevitable. No matter what we do, we can't stop it. We can slow it down, or speed it up, but we can't stop it. It's a shame though, how we sped up that process of extinction. It can take years to create the most beutiful and grand building, or paint the perfect picture. Yet it can all be destroyed in an instant. Mankind was not meant to create, it was meant to destroy.
