Our increasing pressure on life living this planet into existance has been either impeded or exemplified by our knowing race.
My question is which of these aspects do you think global warming is cused by?
-The putting of harmful or synthetic substaces into ecosystems that obviously suffer longer than we do, being of smaller size, like carbon emissions or oils and chemical bases from our drainage?
-The pulling of grass or livestock away from an otherwise healthy cycle in our ecosystem, that is the ploughed fields and tulips by the gallon inclusive, all with greater carbon footprints than the species had before, and making them a center for our communication and social wealth, which is all inventors, farmers, scientists and others' purposes could only have been by changing all advantageous species place?

Guess they were afraid of true fear in living a healthy ecosensible simple existance...

Hey that's my catch phrase.

Yeah it's global warmth - the hottest year on record was 1998.

What you refer to as a "healthy ecosensible simple existance... " is your preferred lifestyle. Go ahead and live it.

The issue is whether you have a right to impose it on the rest of us.

And you DON'T.

Within the industrialised nations the greatest single contributor to global warming is power generation, in other parts of the world it is deforestation and associated practices such as land clearance, slash and burn techniques etc.

Both contribute to global warming but in different ways. Power generation and similar practices produces substantial quantities of greenhouse gases whereas deforestation reduced the natural ability of the planet to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. There's much more to it than that but this is the basis.

The need for more power, commodities, building land, agricultural land etc is a consequence of an ever expanding population and an increasingly industrialised world, neither of which can easily be stopped.

Answer me this then if 'ploughing fields' is responsible. Its a fact that an acre of Soya fixes carbon dioxide (turns Co2 into oxygen) at a rate 4 times faster then the same size area of forrest?

Fields contain plants too, its about time we got beyond blaming farmers for all the worlds woe's.

Carbon emissions are natural in the form of CO2. CO2 is necessary for plant life. Most lumber companies replant because it is in their best interest. The Earths biosphere can handle the CO2 but, we do need to reduce toxic pollution.

A lot of farmers are using no-till methods of planting now that does not expose loose dirt to the wind.

Global Warming started when the earth started, volcanoes, natural hotspots all contribute to global warming. I understand that humans aren't exactly helping the situation but we can't blame ourselves completely.
However, it isn't the warming up of the earth that we should be concerned about - all those things you mentioned are problems. But they are problems because they are decreasing biodiversity and killing off things, and seeing as it always comes back to us if you follow food chains and that then its still something we should be concerned about.

Could do with a bit of global warming here in Queensland Australia this morning it's freezing outside.

Do you think bad spelling and poor grammar is down to Global warming too
