I was reading the MSN headlines today, apparently NASA says we have about a decade to change our direction before we get hit. What do they mean by 'hit'? I can't see anything changing in 10 years so I guess we're screwed.

Does anyone believe in global warning? It is blamed on the greenhouse gas effect. Tell me this then. Millions of years ago we had an ice age. At some stage the ice melted. What caused this? Obviously the earth got warmer. There were no aircraft cars or other such environmentally unfriendly devices. What therefore caused the increase in temperature? I believe the planet changes on its own and goes through cycles over a very long process. Scaremongers the lot of them.

actual, all the international warming "experts" tend to forget on the subject of the actuality that we are warming up from a usual Little Ice Age. those comparable "experts" tend to forget approximately that the Earth replaced into warmer during the Medieval Warming era. I even have examine history books that have written evidence that the era from greater or less 800 advert to 1250 advert replaced into warmer then it is immediately. additionally, we nevertheless do no longer know what we do not know whilst it is composed of a device as complicated because of the fact the factors on earth. I even have been listening to those comparable "experts" asserting that we've handed the tipping element thrice over the final decade and we nevertheless have not seen the run away temperatures that they have got been promising.

The problem with global warming is that people can not agree on whether it is happening or not. The main reason for the disagreement is that capitalistic greed helps pay for the studies and perhaps influences the outcome. I'm totally disappointed that the scientific community can't come to a unified position on this so that we can act if we need to,

the thing people dont realize is, the pollution emitted today wont have any real effect for MANY years on the atmosphere, our ozone is just now getting over the effects of heavy pollution in the 70s. if you do your research and look past all the blabbering idiots from greenpeace who dont know their !@# from a hole in teh ground. you actually find that our planet is starting to turn around for the better.
HOWEVER, on the other hand, China has just entered the free market and is expected to swell economically..to put it simplistically: economic change = pollution. i expect that our biggest challenge to date is coping with the "coming of the dragon"; as i like to refer to the chinese boom.

Remmo16 is right on the money. Its all about the Benjamin's. The capitalists would rather see a few more million in there accounts rather then help save the world. Greed makes the world go round. :(

Well first of course one has to decide that humans really have any effect at all. Next the US is only part of it, you will never get China, Korea, Russia and other places to do any restrictions.
It could well be just a natural climate change of our planet,

The reason they said that is because with all the pollution in our air and in our oceans it would take a miracle to clean it up. The air would take approximately 150 years to be cleaned up if somebody say, invented anti-gravity travel. The oceans would take anywhere from 500 to 1000 years to revitalize itself from the day anti-gravity travel and energy became clean and self-sufficient.
