I remember when I was a kid people used to argue about this, how it will happen, if it will, why and when.. now I'm 20 years old and the speed at which this process is happening is unprecedented! This will change the face of the earth and our lives forever.

Oh noes nature is doing its thing, OMG it's all our fault.

The Universe has a natural cycle of events, Our galaxy has a natural cycle of events, our solar system has a natural cycle of events, our planet has a natural cycle of events, our sun has its own natural cycle of events that also influence the earth to a greater or lesser degree dependent upon many factors, one of which is, where both of those are in their own cycles.

The weather has natural cycles of events, our Icesheets have natural cycles of events and if you were 10,000 years old you would be saying, so what?, it happens.

Something tells me you didn't think this through very well? ..

Of course everything has a natural cycle of events but they happen on scales of thousands of years. The changes we are seeing in decades should be happening over centuries. Climate change (whether natural or man-made) will have a massive impact on our way of life. So we can either ignore the possibility we are impacting the Earth, do nothing and cause unnecessary struggle for us and generations to come OR suck it up, stop polluting the planet to limit negative impacts on our way of life in the future.

But I guess you are still willing to kick the can down the road.

I couldn't agree with you more!

This news story or conversation isn't about whether this has happened before, or whether its man made or natural. It's happening, and it's going to have a profound effect on all of our lives. Smugly stating the obvious doesn't change that.

It has a way of naturally getting rid of us too, especially when we are poking, prodding, and raping our home that's ALIVE!

Take out my blood and see if I live.

Time is like a circle. History will continue to repeat itself until we get it through our thick skulls that we are living in a place that should be taken care of with care and compassion.

Tptb only care about filling their pockets.

Humans are not helping, that's evident!

How do you know the scale of changes??

I have a proposition for you. What if the "great flood" was a Very quick melting of the ice from about 12,000 years ago?

What if Energy is being added into the system? Volcanoes and Earthquakes seem to be increasing. What if that Energy Cloud the solar system has just entered has... wait for it... ENERGY.. Add energy = Movement = Heat..

The fourth or was it fifth world that was destroyed by water? The next is said to be destroyed by Fire.

I don't like pollution though so lets get rid of that, but you guys are missing the point. Carbon Dioxide Started Life here, and when carbon dioxide levels get really high it's time for plants to Rule, and then Oxygen Levels get very high which then means higher energy and much Bigger animals can live ie Dinosaurs..

I havn't seen any good proof that humans are to blame for the warming. All everyone thinks is that now we are producing all this carbondioxide and also now temperature is rising.. That is NOT proof. Other things are happening right now as well. I have looked for the proof but all they prove is global warming, NOT, man made global warming.

We are not looking at ONE cycle. the cycle of the whole solar system spinning around the galaxy means that HUGE changes can happen when we get to different points in space. We are traveling like what 66,000 miles an hour already relative to the solar system. Add on the speed of the Solar system itself and we can get into other areas quite quickly..

Plant some trees if you are so worried. Paint the top of your house white.. Don't drive your car, or mow your grass. Careful if you breathe too. Shut off all the electricity in the US.. Or build a 1,000 more nuclear plants inside the US. Stop using all metals especially steel and Aluminum. Don't use plastic. Don't by any manufactured items or Anything from china. Blow up society. Tax everyone, make them your slaves. When you get cold don't burn any wood or oil or gas.. In fact fire should be illegal. Don't use any paper products we need those trees ya know. Get off your computer. Stop reading my words you are burning coal by reading this. We have gone too far and the only solution would be to stop all society and let 6 billion die. then clean up.. That's the alternative to continuing on the same path and killing us off later. It's one or the other, truly.

By the way if we were causing global warming I would expect to see rain being much more acidic these days. You know the relation here right?

The Earth doesn't care about climate change. It will continue on for many more cycles of human destruction. I don't think people understood what the show "LOST" was about. The Island is Earth. The dark guy and the blond guy the brothers one "evil" one "good".. They were talking as the next batch of humans began again on earth.(a boat comes to the island)
"here they come"
"all they do is cause destruction and chaos. it's the same everytime."
"but everytime it gets a little bit better."
"they still always destroy everything, so what's the point?"
"progress"


Back to the point about the energy... We are in for one Hell of a ride.. I am here to survive. Or I am here to finish paying the price of life.. It's ok though. Life isn't the only game in town.

The earth goes through cycles.

This stuff happens natural.

The tax cap and trade lunatics need to hit the road.

I just remembered why I dont post anything on here anymore

Not to mention that with less ice and more sitting water there will be an increase in insects such as mosquitos, and the larger, more dangerous, predatory insects such as spiders, etc. There will be a lot more vegetation growing without cold temperatures to keep things in check, and VIRUSES! Lots of viruses will be around without colder weather to keep things in check.

Tipping point? You betcha! Additionally, with the massive influx of solar activity this year into next things will be that much more bad. Storms will get worse, people will get more and more sick from the viruses, plant life and insect/ animal life will increase in numbers and size, and mankind will be screwed!

Not to sound like a fear-monger however, this is the way it seems that things are headed.
