i got thumbs down for milankovitch cycles?

Question

http://geography.about.com/od/learnabouttheearth/a/milankovitch.htm

I am pretty certain this is the global warming culprit. Yes people do not help. but this cycle would exist with or without humans. it accounts for ice ages extinction etc.

we are currently at the end of the recent ice age. so things wil heat up. with this heat and polar ice melt, we can expect more water into the atmosphere. making more rain and more snow- contrary to what people assume about global warming. where else do you hink all that melted ice is going to go? so we wil have colder, wetter winters. But hotter longer summers as the earth nears the sun during it's summer phase of the eliptical.

thumbs down? for this?

whatever.

any way for some reason tis is not discussed much. I actually thing global warming as concept by humans- is a distraction. this is some agenda to ofer hope that we can fix globa warming when we can not it's out of our hands.

perhaps the other reason global warming as a "human effect" is planted is becuase the reality of the earth approaching the sun is catastrophically fatal.

why scare al the people that the end is near as the earth closes in towards the sun?

for some reason, the milankovitch cycles are not discussed much at all. not sure why world govornments are hiding this.

Answer 1

Global Warming is political not scientific. This is why there's a "consensus" rather than proof.

Like a religion, people will disagree with you if you don't accept their dogma.

They say warming has occurred in the last 100 years, but it wasn't much longer than that when you could have walked from Manhattan to Staten Island.

No one mentions this because it doesn't fit in with what they want to believe.

Answer 2

A 1976 study, published in the journal Science examined deep-sea sediment cores and found that Milankovich's theory corresponded to periods of climate change. Indeed, ice ages had occurred when the earth was going through different stages of orbital variation.

Though Milankovitch cycles do explain long-term climate change, they can't account for changes being made by humans, which appear to have an even greater effect than variations in earth-sun interaction.

Answer 3

It is more fun to scare the idiots into thinking the end is near! These are probably the same people who bought up all the duct tape when the idiots in Washington told them they could protect themselves by duct taping all the windows an doors. Guess they never figured out that if they taped the openings well enough to keep toxic gasses and dusts out, it would also keep air from getting in! Duh!

Never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be!

Answer 4

Could care less, couldn't care less. Isn't that's the reason YA put the thumbs there? So we can thumbed downs answers, or ups? YA should consider putting another thumb, 180 degrees one. We already got 90 and 270.

RUSH FICTION: "Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines spewed forth more than 1,000 times the amount of ozone-depleting chemicals in one eruption than all the fluorocarbons manufactured by wicked, diabolical and insensitive corporations in history..."

SCIENTIFIC FACT: Cumulatively speaking, Pinatubo's impact on the ozone layer has been about 50 times less than that of CFC's. Volcanoes emit two sorts of ozone-depleting compounds: hydrochloric acid (amounts measured in the stratosphere were largely unchanged by the Pinatubo eruption) and sulfur dioxide (converted in the stratosphere into tiny particles which act in combination with chlorine from man-made CFC's. This temporarily increased the rate of ozone depletion by several percentage points during 1992 and 1993). Nearly all the chemicals emitted by Pinatubo have already washed out of the stratosphere, unlike CFC's, which remain for as long as a century. http://www.environmentaldefense.org/pressrelease.cfm?contentID=2433

I'm not sure if you are actually serious about "the Earth closing in on the Sun" in your additional details, but....

...the earth is actually moving ever so slightly further from the sun as the Universe and everything in it is continually expanding, moving farther apart as a result of the big bang.

Answer 6

Sherry,

The mindset of the global warming cult is pretty venomous. if you don't follow their line of thinking, I've been called a lot of things by these people, but I take it with a grain of salt. Point out solar cycles, and lord almighty you'd think Jesus knocked on the doors of these secularists. It's a religion. Not science. Science is willing to experiment and not base it's findings on flawed arithmetic models. Science looks at all variables to the cause. Religion assumes one cause.

Answer 7

You are correct. There is warming but it is very presumptuous of man to think he is significant. Everything man has done in history does not equal the energy or emissions of one volcano like Mt. Pinatubo.

Answer 8

I get thumbs down even on the answers that are not controversial. Don't worry about the thumbs down, the more you get the bigger the nerve you hit.

Answer 9

I like thumbs down. It lets me know I'm on track when liberals are in the area.

Answer 10

It looks like you and I agree on something ;)
