Normally, I believe it is 1:1. How much has it changed with the increased greenhouse gases?

I think it would be interesting to map the homes of cancer patients in an area against the locations of major power lines to see if there is an obvious link. I've heard a lot of claims but I've never seen something like that. I'm looking for maps of Georgia in specific because thats where I live.

If your answer is no, please do not provide explanations that are 'derivatives' of selfishness (eg. greed, avarice)

Other methods of reconstructing past CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere show more variation in the CO2 levels than the ice cores. For example, plants have minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem through which gases and water vapor pass. The density of the pores varies with the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This has been tested in controlled environments in which the CO2 is held at a constant level and the pores developed at a density adequate enough to take in the required amount. If CO2 is increased, fewer pores are required. If CO2 is decreased more pores develop.
The stoma pores can be seen in fossilized leaves and CO2 concentrations can be determined from past climates by their density and carbon dating of the fossils. A study was done that reveals CO2 varies much more in the plant record than in the ice cores. It showed CO2 levels during the Holocene maximum to be as high as 328ppm.

Every day we hear about Global Warming and its possible effects upon the environment.

The earth’s atmosphere is warming up. Thus the icebergs are melting giving a rise in the seas total height etc etc

All this is because of man’s greed for resources such as fuel.

Does anyone think that if things go on the way they are at the moment nature will get its own back with like another ice-age?

Interested to hear peoples opinions.

Thanks

So lets say you wanted to add water to the atmosphere. Pump water from the sea to DV and it would evaporate hopefully loading the atmosphere with water encouraging it to rain. The water would be distilled, so pure. And the salt left behind to wreck the land where no one wants to go. What would happen???????????? Enviroment, weather wise and all that. Please be factual and also imaginable as possible. Also any other solutions to WHERE IS ALL THE FRESHWATER GOING.

On which parts of the world are sea-based ice located, and where are the land-based ice located?

How about Greenland, the Arctic ice cap and Antarctica? Which of these are land-based, which are sea-based? Will the melting of all of these, or only some, contribute to global sea level rise in the 21st century?

I live in Florida, and I have experienced my fair share of Tropical Depressions, Tropical Storms, and Hurricanes. Anyone with experience in weather knows that when a Tropical Depression gains enough strength, it becomes a Tropical Storm, and when a Tropical Storm gains enough strength, it becomes a Hurricane.

I have also heard from countless sources that Global Warming will cause an increase in the strength of Hurricanes in the future, but not an increase in the number of Hurricanes.

So why won't there be an increase in the strength of Tropical Storms also, and in turn cause an increase in the number of Hurricanes?

Isn't an increase in the strength of a Hurricane caused by the same factors that cause an increase in the strength of Tropical Storms?

So how can it be that the strength of Hurricanes will increase, but not the number of Hurricanes?
