when it comes to global warming how come sending space shuttles into space is never mentioned?

Question

were burnin a giant hole in the ozone every time we do this, i bet one shuttle is equal to 20 years of fuels being burned off(completely speculation) and also how do we know that the burning of fuels is what even causes global warming, i know they've studied somethin in glaciers, but aint it possible that there has been somethin else goin on through this period of time

im not talkin about the fuel in the shuttles im talkin about when it hits the ozone layer it burns a hole through it, even if it didnt use fuel at all it would still do that

Answer 1

it is not mentioned because it does not burn a whole in the ohzone layer

Answer 2

I've not figured out why, if we are so intelligent, that very few are looking at the charts and records we have from the past.

There are so many things that effect the temperature we experience.
Because the sun is the ultimate source of Earth's warmth, some researchers have looked to it for an answer. In the 1970s, solar researcher John Eddy, now at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan, noticed the correlation of sunspot numbers with major ups and downs in Earth's climate. For example, he found that a period of low activity from 1645 to 1715, called the Maunder Minimum, matched perfectly one of the coldest spells of the Little Ice Age.
Beginning around 1850, the world's climate began warming again and the Little Ice Age may be said to have come to an end at that time. Some global warming skeptics believe that the Earth's climate is still recovering from the Little Ice Age and that human activity is not a decisive factor in present temperature trends. Recent warming over the last 50 years is generally believed to be caused primarily by the increased proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere caused by human activity. There is less agreement over the warming from 1850 to 1950.

I don't understand why we think we are so almighty, why not admit we have no control over the climate. It changes in cycles, as it had done since the beginning of time.

Uh... wow. I think it might be better to consult an expert on space shuttles. Failing that, Wikipedia is one of man's best inventions. According to Wikipedia, the shuttle uses 535,000 U.S. gallons (2.025 million liters) of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellant and the rocket boosters use 1,100,000 pounds of fuel. Don't ask me what kind of fuel it is. The point is: yes, it consumes monstrous amounts of fuel. But there are few enough space missions to really make an impact. Global warming is a fact. The point is, things are changing rapidly. Again, read wikipedia. Come back with specific questions, which can be answered. And don't ask for an answer when you are in an "altered" state of mind.

Dude, we're all part of it. Man is a part of nature. Who are we to say this temperature differential isn't all part of nature's plan...and perhaps necessary for the survival of our species? Scientists have always asserted we are living in a very brief time period of warmth between two ice ages. By increasing the planet's temperature (not 'artificially', but naturally, as man IS part of nature) how do we know we aren't preventing the next ice age?

A few inches of coastline and an Arctic specie or two seem like a small price to pay for not having a glacier in my backyard.

And, hey...nice weather we're having, huh? 55 degrees for Wild Card Weekend. Not having to wrap myself up like Randy in 'A Christmas Story' to go to Lincoln Financial Field and watch the Eagles beat the Giants ain't half bad.

Go Birds!

Answer 5

A typical volcano, which is a natural phenomenon, probably does far more atmospheric damage than any man-made activity.

I think your estimate may be a bit excessive on the effects of the shuttle launch, but I doubt if it would do more damage than a volcanic eruption.

Answer 6

each launch does leave a hollow interior the ozone layer, besides the shown fact that it incredibly is small and close immediately. besides, ozone depletion isn't the reason of worldwide warming. worldwide warming is as a results of trapping of infrared gentle radiated from the warmth floor with the aid of carbon dioxide and not as a results of greater ultraviolet gentle accomplishing the floor with the aid of an ozone hollow. Ozone depletion and worldwide warming are 2 thoroughly separate issues. i don't comprehend why human beings consistently think of they are an identical element, or think of that they are finally appropriate. they are actually not!

Answer 7

I too think that volcanoes should be further investigated as a factor in climate change. There are a number of volcanoes under the oceans which are having their effects and no one seems to bring them up.

Answer 8

Uh, Steve, it isn't the space shuttle that's doing it. It's from you huffing keyboard cleaner during science class.

Answer 9

Dunno,you should mention it yourself.

Answer 10

Why didn't i think about this?? :=p
