Here are a few facts to mull over.
1. It has been reported by scientists that there is upwards of 200 billion tons of CO2 produced annually. 4% of which is by burning fossil fuels. The CO2 respired out annually by human beings and their livestock is far in excess of that ammount. The poulation has increased by over 3 billion since 1850. The question is where has it all this CO2 gone to?
2. Scientists will also tell you that the CO2 content of our atmosphere is something like 380 ppm. I can't envisage what that ammount is so I convert it to a fraction of a % which means 0.038%. Not much is it. It has been absorbed by the green plant life of this planet(99.99) to the point that there is almost nothing left. Since 1850 the increase annually has been less that 1ppm
3. We have been having climate change for thousands of years.
4. We have aways had a greenhouse effect. Its main component(98.0%) is water vapour. Not CO2
5. Don't worry too much about big icebergs or any sea ice. The water they displace is exactly the same as is contained in the berg. Water swells by 10% whe it's frozen. When it melts there is no difference in water level. According to the maritime institute of Adelaide, there has been no measurable rise in the sea levels for the last 80 years.
6 Whether or not the climate is changing because of human activity has not been proven other than by junk scientists. to keep the research funds going.
7. There are far too many other factors involved on this big dynamic planet of ours that may be responsible for present climes
8. You all learned at school about our atmosphere. 21% oxygen. 78% nitrogen. 1% other gasses. including CO2. They all have one thing in common. They are all invisible.
9. What could affect our weather is the
airborne particulate matter that accompanies burning coal and oil. Also volanic erruptions, and massive bush fires. If
we can learn to burn these fuels without the muck, you'd have nothing to complain about then. Would you?
