Global warming is evolution, we are still in an ice age.
The North and South Poles are all thats left really. Once they melt we are no longer in an ice age.
This month does not feel any warmer to me, neither did the summer
What Marc says is practically how it is
You both fell for the lies the evil scientists gave too you
The problem with all this is that people immediately see a way of making a quick buck.
Example... Madagascar has large tracts of dense forest... Or it did have. These forests contain large quantities of carbon dioxide munching plant life, and sustain many rare species of animals.
However, there is a need for "recyclable" material in the world now as we become more concious of the affect we have on the world. Recycling is "in".
So, in Madagascar, they are cutting down huge swathes of dense forest to put in plantations of the small tree that produces the best recyclable paper/card.
This tree cannot sustain any animal life, and leaves the ground afterwards completely useless for further agricultural use - it takes all the nutrients out of the earth.
So, in the name of "recycling" and "stopping global warming", huge tracts of Madagascar are now being turned from global warming stopping forest, to (too?) huge areas of infertile desert.
Why? Because somebody has seen a way of making a huge amount of money out of the West's need to stop global warming. By supporting recycling, we are actually causing more damage to the climate than if we didn't. The people in Madagascar don't give a stuff about global warming, they just care about making some money to get the county richer.
So, even by doing your most to stop global warming, you're probably doing more harm. Really, everyone should just be buying the rainforests off the people who own the land for more than they could get selling the wood (or grazing cattle on the land). Direct attempts like that are the only really viable ones.
