Re: A few million Euros (Francs) Later Science is a study of patterns. How do we know something is happening? We compare changes of Glaciers from Photos 100 years ago to now.
What Photos Show:
Glaciers have receded by 10s of miles. Antarctica and Ice filled regions are Melting Rapidly.
What Science Shows:
Amount of Carbons and Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere have increased substantially in the time we have measured. Cars didn't exist (nor did Smog in L.A. or Mexico City) before Man built them. Factories weren't pumping TONS OF Pollutants into the air before the industrial Revolution. Now we are. So you tell me Moon.
2+2 = 4
Cars = Cause Smog
Deforestation = Less Trees to Purify the air
Factories = Pollute the Air with Chemicals that make people sick. Hell look at Chernobyl in Russia. Mind moving there? Sure that radiation will be good on the body?
Polluting Rivers with industrial waste.
Man's activities have consequences. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see Cutting down an Animals Habitat leads its numbers to disappear. Polluting water ways Kills off species. Pumping Shit into the air via cars and factories causes smog and raises Ozone levels which can cause breathing problems. So If on a small scale, we can see that happening, then I'd venture to guess our actions have a wider consequence. You can cite whatever you want. A 35 year old article is not proof of anything. ONE PERSON IN THAT ARTICLE GOT IT WRONG. It wasn't as if the scientific community all said we were in for a New Ice Age. Plus, empirical data and computers weren't around to create models and analyze large sets of data.
Believe what you wish. It's like trying to convince a religious person his or her religion is just one of many. We can go at this all day and it's pointless. |
