Global Warming?

[EE_Bota]

Henh and there I was thinking I was prescient.

SPYDERLK, thanks for the clarification.

Do you know how many people die of the thing that killed them 20 years later?

Well, the Japanese probably have a web site with the stats from our atom bombs and I'll bet the casualties past and present run into the millions. Read somewhere about how many US troops, used as lab rats, died of cancers after testing the dang things, too.

Not long ago I read a background piece of casualties from Chernobyl and it seems the casualty numbers go from the absurd to the fantastic - nature of our times I suppose, but woefully depressing, nevertheless. Especially since Chernobyl fall out was killing Colorado deer deep in the wilderness. This beautiful Pacific Northwest is inundated with Fukushima fallout. Who do I thank?

I was surprised, when researching how long the human body could live, that more than a few sites supported 125 years. There seems to be nothing on the cause of why not now, but my take on the matter is that it has more to do with the chemicals coursing through our bodies from our food, water and air. Heard a radio guy say he had his blood tested and there were some 180+ foreign chemicals in his blood. Another sign of our times, I suppose.

Anyway, if I don't want a man-made/manipulated deadly substance to pollute my body, my family and/or anybody else, it would only be polite to allow me and everybody else to "just say no!"

It is kind of you to honor Nancy in this way.
I applaud your efforts to abstain from radiation to the extent you are able, and I won't call you a hypocrite if some gets through.

Globally last year was the 15th warmest on record.

Do you have a link for that? I'm trying to find an updated list of warmest years.

...and now, this just in from the Smithsonian.

We have already changed the climate for the rest of this century.

The mechanics of climate change are not that complex: we burn fossil fuels; a byproduct of that burning is carbon dioxide; it enters the atmosphere and traps heat, warming the surface of the planet. The consequences are already apparent: glaciers are melting faster than ever, flowers are blooming earlier (just ask Henry David Thoreau), and plants and animals are moving to more extreme latitudes and altitudes to keep cool.

Even more disturbing is the fact that carbon dioxide lingers in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. We have just begun to see the effects of human-induced climate change, and the predictions for what is to come range from dire to catastrophic.

How have scientists measured am old sample of carbon dioxide with a newer sample and how can they tell the difference between recent CO2 and CO2 which is hundreds of years old and how can they tell the difference. CO2 = CO2 ? .

Have can they tell how much CO2 was trapped hundreds of years ago and why was it not then used by plants to convert to Oxygen then? Does that mean that even hundreds of years ago forest fires where creating more CO2 than plants could repair as it were.?

There must be lots of other similar questions in other readers minds? Any answers and more questions would be interesting to be posted.

And I have a question for the evolutionists.

How did spiders catch flies before the species developed the ability to spin webs to catch flies?

Stale in my memory - but I think its the ratio of Carbon atoms and isotopes of carbon atoms in the CO2 molecues of the sample that give a good handle on age.

Any one else watch the Labor Secretary explain Green Jobs????
He should have been embarrassed.

They measured the CO2 levels threw out the years, from ice cores taken from the glaciers ice in the middle of Greenland.:thumbsup:

"Worldwide data for spring will be released June 14. Through April, the globe was not experiencing the level of unusual warmth that the USA was: The worldwide temperature for January-April was only the 15th warmest on record, the climate center reported in May."
