I've been doing some research into global warming (and this isn't to start a global warming debate). I know that 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere is carbon dioxide (CO2). I know that approximately 14% of man-made CO2 comes from the burning of transportation fuels.

However, there are natural sources of CO2 as well. Some percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from natural fermentation. Some comes from biological breathing. Some comes from natural gas wells.

Of the 0.04% of CO2 in the atmosphere, what portion comes from natural sources and what portion comes from man-made sources?

Is it true if you flush a toilet in the north or south they'll flush the opposite way of each other. I've heard many myths on that and I'm not sure what to belive so if anyone knows let me know.

I have read of predictions from the science community that say we should expect our sea levels to rise by around 6 meters, due to global warming causing the melting of ice in places like the Polar Caps resulting in this water going into the seas.

Some claims say already about 20% of the ice from the polar caps has melted.


For discussion in here lets just say that 6 meters was a bit of an excessive claim and the true rise will be say maybe 3 meters.

If we have already melted 20% of the ice should we have already seen a rise of see level of 600mm.

20% of 3 meters = 600mm.

If no rise I have to ask where did that that melted 20% water go?

Maybe we got the numbers wrong. Maybe its not Polar Caps 20% already melted. Maybe its 10% melted. In that case why is the sea water not 300mm higher than we would normally describe as the norm?

Is there any place on Earth that has seen sea levels risen by just a few cm?

the question i have to answer is this:

take a quick look at the brownish building stone used in the construction.

Are they sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic in origin (HINT: can you see the individual grains? What do they look like?)
