Re: Global warming?

Definitely not!

Re: Global warming?

I don't know what is causing the strange weather conditions we have had over they past few years, but I am, prepared to agree that human activities could be causing it!

Global worming is affecting the hotter, drier summers we are having, which reduce water supplies and cause fires... but it is also affecting temps in the winter & that is why we are having so many floods, which also takes the lives of humans and other creatures!

It does make me think though, that young people who moan about the Brexit vote are being a bit naive, when their greatest danger is the changing weather conditions that their ancestors may have created.

Re: Global warming?

I'm not convinced about global warming being caused by man.

There have been changing weather patterns for centuries. I always laugh when someone says its been the hottest for 50 years, in the whole scale of things its just a drop in the ocean.

Re: Global warming?

Funnily enough there were two programmes on TV last night whilst this was being discussed on here.

Firstly, Prof Brian Cox told how the sun is getting hotter and hotter until eventually it will implode then die, so I don't think global warming has anything to do with man.

The second programme was called 'The One way Astronaut'. An entrepreneur plans to send four people to Mars in five years time on a one way ticket. The reason NASA has not yet sent people to Mars is because they don't know how to get them back, so this guy has ignored that bit.

After two years, another two people would be sent and then another forty over the following years. So far, he has had over 10,000 replies from people who would love to go and never come back.

Interestingly, the programme also mentioned that a set of new laws would have to be created so that they could be applied to life on a new planet.

Re: Global warming?

Well scientists are certain that we are destroying the Ozone layer and we do create lots of unnatural gases in the things we use, so I would rather believe them, than people who just don't want to admit that they may be destroying life on this planet!

Re: Global warming?

I don't think we are helping the situation Twink.

Re: Global warming?

I agree! I think there are bigger factors influencing our weather, but we are doing nothing to help!

Re: Global warming?

I believe we are speeding up our own demise (along with a lot of wildlife) whereas the planet itself will do what was intended.

Re: Global warming?

It does feel as though the sun is getting hotter and brighter but i thought the implosion was predicted in millions of years. Unless of course their calculations were off...

Re: Global warming?

I don't think we have helped but i also think there is not much we can do. Humans should be planning how to get to another planet. But if the sun dies it would have to be another solar system.
