Why we're going to hell - Global Warming discussion

[playstopause]

serously, if you want to eliminate greenhouse gasses... you might as well eliminate all life on this planet, since anything that lives and breathes, produces "greenhouse gasses"

that should take care of it

I think everyone is refering the % of greenhouse gasses that is caused by HUMANS. That is what is unbalancing the natural greenhouse gasses.

This argument was silly, Briggs. C'mon, bro.

ok you got me, save the plants!!!

Ok, are you just fucking with us, or are these your serious beliefs?

You remember the Oxygen Cycle from middle school earth science? Plants take in CO2 and release O2. Animals take in O2 and release CO2. They balance each other out, and the give and take this produces serves as a check on each side.

Where we're going wrong here is modern industrialization is dumping unheard-of ammounts of CO2 into the atmosphere as well as a whole slew of new non-naturally-occuring chemicals that also create a "greenhouse effect," so that the O2 cycle is being skewed in favor of CO2 in amounts that plants can't keep up with, because another sideproduct of industrialization is we are clearcutting forests and urbanizing the global landscape (an increase in supply coupled with a decrease in the ability to metabolize the supply), as well as having whole new elements added to the picture.

But I think you're just fucking with us and playing devl's advocate, aren't you?

 

[Metal Ken]

Nah, kill everything. \m/

yes, I have been known to do such things

I like to challenge and to be challenged

Nah, kill everything. \m/

The increased temperatures caused by the increase of CO2 also causes enormous amounts of methane to be released from the seas, as the seas can't hold as much gas, and from frozen swamps in Siberia. This continues to fuel the greenhouse effect.

Briggs- Stop being a troll

 

[Briggs]

enormous amounts of methane happens when one ingests too much mexican food. We need emissions checks for humans

Briggs- Stop being a troll

I had no idea I was being trollish, thanks for the info.

he he, who's the troll now?

Well, you know what?
I've read a study in a serious local newpapers that gasses produced by cows is becoming the number 1 cause of "bad greenhouse gasses" before cars (in our country, the great land of farmers, etc.).

We're just too much mass-producing cows and having them eat stuff they wouldn't eat normally.
Bizarre.

Look at this! Just found it:

What would happen if they'd eat tacos?

too funny.........clean the air, eat more cows...

medium rare ribeye, anyone?

 

[Drew]

That's actually true, Mr. A French Name, and one of the few justifications for a vegetarian diet I actually buy (that it takes like 40 pounds of grain and god knows how much potable water to produce 1 pound of beef, and in the process massive amounts of methane are released into the atmosphere).

And Briggs, come on man, if you want to play Devil's advocate then I'm cool with that, but argue, don't just make smart-assed one-liners.

Let's kill 'em all and have the biggest BBQ EVER!!!

better a smart-ass, than a dumb-ass

oops, was that a one liner? he he he

Pass the ribeye, sir.

 

[eaeolian]

he he he , maybe I can consult with you on what type of fish to be reincarnated to.

I suggest a top tier predator like a mako shark or something

Nah, then you get mercury poisoning (from being at the top of the food chain) or are "accidentally" killed by fishermen.

This is just based on what I've watched on Discovery channel...but I think the poles reversing their polarity is a much bigger threat.

 

[forelander]

Now that's gonna be fun.

 

[Briggs]

Now that's gonna be fun.

yeah..... yeah!!

the earth is going to reverse gravity and everything is going to like.... fly off into space..........he he........ it's going to be like.. the coolest thing ever! (Beavis voice)

 

[Metal Ken]

Wait, we don't have to worry. i was listening to Rush today, and he said the Liberal Media made up global warming. We can close the thread now!
