how do i prove this?

maybe if you can give me some examples?

it would really really help me if you guys can

thanx!

  2. Jess,

    Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

    We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

    Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

    One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

    Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

    Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

    1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

    2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

    It’s pretty easy to see the results..

    Melting ice sheets & glaciers

    Floods & droughts

    Great hurricanes & cyclones

    Seasonal extremes

    Seasonal phenomena’s

    Species extinction

    New & resurgent diseases

    There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

    I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

    If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

    Stop Global Warming!!!

  3. you cannot prove interdepence, since global warming is a theory, not a fact of science.

    mars, venus, mercury, saturn etc., are all warmer by 1/2 degree. Did we do that too?

    over 80% of climatologists say we are NOT responsible and it is not interdependent.

    oh and by the way, this past winter was one of the coldest in the US for the past ten years.

    cows were dying in the fields in the midwest. the orange crop failed in florida and california and 28 people died in south africa, the first time anyone has died in SA for almost 75 years from cold weather.

  4. Lets have you prove this with awareness of the counter point of view. If prove means test the theory against observation.

    You will find evidence that there is limited interdependence.

    But for sure you will not prove that changes observed from the middle of the last major ice age to now are mostly a result of human activity.

    Far from it, human contribution of significance comes after a mini ice age that substantially undid previous natural warming and after most of the effect of that mini-ice age had vanished.

    We can not demonstrate that the  warming period before the previous ice age was caused by human activity.

    So what we do not have is any proof of interdependence for the  largest parts of he cycle.

    From this we may suspect that if we stop contributing to global warming  then global warming may or may not stop. (It did not stop when there was no human input last time, so how do we conclude it would this time.

    For a convincing argument that they are interdependent, we have to assert that in every cycle we have been instrumental. But that does not mean that we have not significantly contributed to bringing on a warm period in this cycle. It does cause fair doubt that merely removing our contribution will stop GW.

    We conceivably might put into our upper atmosphere reflective aerosols such as might be produced by a large volcanic eruption, and we might then bring our temperature back down. to end GW. But that would be true even if we had had no contribution to GW.

    WE MIGHT JUST HOPE FOR  a major bout of volcanic activity to lower our temperature, knowing that if we wait too long, that volcanic activity would create a major ice age.

    We might work on getting irrigation going on our major desert areas, turning them into forests. The forests with the irrigation would sop up the excess CO2. The irrigation itself would lower our temperature. Yes, increasing water vapour would increase temperatures, but the amount of water vapour in the air is a function of temperature. Adding water vapour via evaporation/transpiration will cause more cloud cover, more precipitation, because it lowers temperature.

    There would be little benefit from planting more trees without irrigation. total CO2 uptake is a function of available water. Double the water and you get about double the CO2 uptake. Double the  number of trees with no increase in water and we see almost no increase in CO2 uptake.

    (This is why rain forests are such great CO2 absorbers while near-deserts with lots of trees are not.

    Now your objective is to prove... this is a start.

  5. Former CBS News correspondent Bernie Goldberg says the liberal mainstream media is largely ignoring the voices of scientists and academics who are skeptical of the notion that global warming is caused by human activity.

  6. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ON EARTH ARE CO-EXISTANT AND WHEN A PROBLEM EXISTS THAT AFFECTS ALL ON EARTH, THEN EACH AND EVERYONE OF US AND EACH AND EVERYTHING INCLUDING ANIMALS AND UNDER THE SEA ARE AFFECTED. TEMPERS CHANGE FOR THE WORST, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT. the other day a cougar came out of the forest and took a walk on the side walk in a crowded neighborhood WITH OUT FEAR. animals getting along with natural enemies, all co=exists.
