What people don't understand is , that our Ozone is in fact damaged.....almost to a point of no return. What this means is....weather patterns become extreme. When it's cold.....it gets really cold. When it's hot....it gets really frigin' hot!
Haven't we seen over the past 20 - 30 years a drastic change in the weather? We are setting new HIGH and LOW records all the time......every where! People think that when they read the saying " Global warming ".......it means " Oh look how warm it's getting "........do yourself a favor and read up on it. The planet goes through these changes and has for billions of years , but this one seems to be coming a little quicker than expected.....and you need to ask why. I'm NOT saying the next ice age is right around the corner....probably multi thousands of years away. But this really weird weather shit we are seeing......I think it's here to stay. Or at least be more common.
East coast being frozen over....more common.
southern states in the summer will roast.
The mid west will see extreme windy shit going on ( tornado's and so forth )
And the west coast will slowly dry up like friggin Arizona.
One other thing to look into is our sun. It seems to be going through some slight changes as well , and could very well be the reason for a lot of what's going on. Again....been going on for billions of years. Were just along for the ride , so hang on.

For me the thing that is sad is you are deluded to the point of posting you know how I think. Nice Nazi attitude that you are bothered I have opinions on safety and track design. You earth is dying boo hoo thing is pretty whack if not scary.
Back on topic here is a link that doesn't come from tree huggers that talks about increased temps and diminished sea ice.
I don't wanna come off like a tree hugging hippie......but that shit right there makes me sad. And all the other pollutants we see pouring into our oceans. Bottom line....with population growth and the way we " have too " live our lives....we are destroying this planet and there just isn't enough people to pull their head out of the sand , open their eyes and see for themselves.
The money graph in that link shows arctic ice extant from 1979 to now. Two seconds of Googling will show you a graph of ice extant since 1900 showing a decline to a much lower extant in 1922, a steady rise until (coincidentally?) 1979-1990 followed by the current decline.
Graphs are the easiest way to mislead folks since you can always show what you want to show if you pick the right starting and ending points.
Laughed my ass off when I read this from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Using incomplete/misleading information, like the graphs in that link from Thinkprogress above only muddy the water and lead people to draw the wrong conclusions because they are designed to elicit an emotional response.
"Scientists" are human beings and no better than me or you. "Scientists" used to believe the world was flat, celestial immutability, Phlogiston, Miasma theory, Geocentric Universe theory, blood-letting, and many more notions that were considered indisputable at the time but later proven inaccurate. Hell even Hawking recently conceded his Information Paradox was wrong and that hard-headed genius stood on that one for decades. So Im not gonna jump on whatever geo-concensus-de-jour that the lab-coats are selling just that easy.
Anybody who says otherwise is either lying or believes a lie someone else has told them.

There are ton of mouth breathing GOP people on my facebook talking about that weather recently laughing at global warming. The truth of the matter is, the earth is like 2 degrees warmer than it used to be. So if you go outside right now, and there's 10ft of snow or a lake is frozen that never has before.. whatever claim made. The difference is it would be 2 degrees colder right now. 2 degrees. The effect is supposed to snowball.. by the time my son is a senior citizen it could be up to 44 degrees F hotter. Much of the u.s. will be uninhabitable. That idea scares me enough that I feel precautions should be taken and I HOPE the scientists are wrong.
Ultimately Al Gore trying to be the voice of global warming is what killed it. Although the blame should be on republicans, gore politicized an issue that shouldn't be a political issue. The gop of course can't be for anything al gore is so that ended that. Just like everything else when team politics get involved everyone loses.
Either way, a 1 year difference is profound.
The sad reality is none of this makes any difference since IMO for every action to reduce emissions is counteracted by usage of dirtier fuel elsewhere. The almighty dollar always wins and the increase in petcoke usage (here in the US usage went up 40 percent from 2010 to 2013) is drilling holes in the bottom of the boat. This stuff is bad juju full of heavy metals human beings shouldn't be breathing as the good people of Chicago are learning.
The US exports this stuff to other countries too.
BTW for any fracking proponents what about the impact on air quality since we all now how bad it is for groundwater. From what I have read fracking is terrible for air quality and in the Dallas area they impact are trying to mitigate the inpact of fracking with set back requirements. Sure Wally....that's like having smoking and non smoking sections on air planes.
Excerpt from the link:
The Dallas task force must address other questions untouched by the Fort Worth study, such as the heavy industrial noise from urban gas production and the negative effect these operations have on neighboring property values.
And though the study deemed a 600-feet setback as adequate, the Dallas task force shouldn’t necessarily accept that as the final word. Other Barnett Shale cities are stricter. Flower Mound’s city council, for example, on Monday approved setbacks of 1,500 feet for residences, schools, parks and hospitals located near production sites. Previously those setbacks were as little as 500 feet, but the city’s negative experiences prompted tougher measures.
Dallas has the luxury of learning from other cities’ experiences. Diversity of energy sources is important, but decision makers must ensure that public health is protected and homeowners don’t pay the price with plunging property values while gas companies reap the profits
Really? We all know how bad it is for groundwater?
I don't know that, and I don't think you do, either.
