@ the global warming deniers.
Temperature is not the only decisive factor here, theres a cycle that you imbalance, when you emit carbon monoxide. You basically speed up climate change, making it adjust to the extra solar radiation that is kept inside the atmosphere by greenhouse gases. Green house gases DO exist and they DO have an effect and thats why their emissions are regulated by any civilized country.
When you take the peak temperatures to
prove that "it happens all the time" you do not account the steep fast temperature increase. The peak temperatures from 1800's are inappropriate to use when counting
norms. IF you can reach all time peaks (even according to old data) every year and the climate is just further more imbalanced, that already means you have a warming effect. Ironically, the 1800's are dawn of industry and from there on the peak temp. and the mean temp. just got higher and simple tests will prove without a doubt that greenhouse gasses are only present in higher amounts since then.
Heres a few simple illustrations from the
NASA site. Theres a lot of illustrations on the temparature change on that sites, and i believe they themselves are very suggestive.
Here is just one example:
Annual Mean Temperature Change for HemispheresFig A3 Annual and five-year running mean temperature changes for the northern (red) and southern (blue) hemispheres.
NOW, you tell me. WHY is the temperature mean going only up with the development of industry? And why is it so peculiar that the 1940's reflect a quick steep rise, during a time of rapid industry boost by a war of global proportions?
Now this graph only reflex changes in a 2 to -2 degree spectrum, but if you're not a complete dumbass and you listened to at least 1 hour out of your geography class semester you'd know that it takes a only a 1 degree difference to melt ice. It will take more time for ice to freeze with the mean average temp increasing, eventually it'll just not be able to freeze and maintain in the same capacity. Ice in the polar caps controls water current currents with fresh water being constantly circulated under the water, this flow if disrupted causes climate change, because climate is dictated by ocean currents, steep climate change effects the frequency of natural disasters. This does not nessesserally effect everybody and or now, but it does effect us, the extreme peaks will only rise exponentially from here on, since population growth is inevitable.
Stop reading Times magazines and shit like that for info that clearly has an anti-oil/car/industry bias. They will prolong this till half of the north pole. Take also to account that we actually expand industry the way it is to the point where everyone on this planet will have the leading country standards of consumption we will produce so much greenhouse gases that it would just be impossible to live. The reason countries like America are not willing to compromise their emissions is shear stubbornness, to much money loss, another words its also the effect of greed.
You all can keep telling yourself it ain't happening and rely on southpark episodes and republicans to provide you with "proof", but there are some changes that are irrefutable and people rather just not mention them and disprove something else.
