Do you believe in global warming? What effect has climate change had in your life?

@PhoenixPhail This. Man made is a farce.

@ShadowWolf Well, we do add our contribution. But it's just a small fraction.

@PhoenixPhail Basic science says trees eat C02. Let's just plant a ton of trees and save the rainforest... ya know the old environmental pursuits that actually work :). Not the liberal nonsense of "tax everyone to death, and ban fossil fuels to stop climate change" 🤣

@PhoenixPhail [quote]According to science, ALL of the planets in our solar system are currently undergoing global warming.[/quote]
I haven't seen this; do you have references? When you say "according to science" I suppose you mean according to some scientist(s) - which ones are they?

@Really I found only one recent reference regarding [i]Pluto's[/i] rise in temperature:
https://news.mit.edu/2002/pluto
From my other investigations, it would seem each planet has a mind of its own. The temperature of some planets may be rising, while the temp of others, is falling. The reports vary. It's hard to tell to how much of Earth's warming is due. Greenhouse gasses ARE a contributing factor. I know the majority of people wouldn't go for a vegetarian diet. But cattle over-production, and, believe it or not, bovine flatulence, is responsible for [i]some[/i] of the greenhouse effect.

@PhoenixPhail Next thing you know, liberals are going to ban cows and try to force us onto an all veggie diet!
PhoenixPhail · M
@ShadowWolf [i]Possibly![/i] You never know. 🤪

@PhoenixPhail The party of "ban" and "control" never stops lol

Thank you for the link! Pluto is a rather special case because it's orbit is highly elliptical. Pluto's nearest approach to the Sun is 2,756,902,000 miles; its farthest distance is 4,583,190,000; a 60% change in distance. What with insolation obeying an inverse square law, the raw solar energy hitting Pluto varies by more than a factor of two. Earth's eccentricity is about 15X smaller than Pluto's and it fails to explain the amount of warming we've experienced in the last 100 years.
The global warming / climate change we're seeing in the last 100 or so years is MUCH different from anything measured in the glacial & sea sediment records covering the last 700,000 years. CO2 is rising 100x faster, and temps 10x faster.
"How is Today’s Warming Different from the Past?" https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/GlobalWarming/page3.php "As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming."
How is today's CO2 increase different? https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide "The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 60 years is about 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as those that occurred at the end of the last ice age 11,000-17,000 years ago."
Fact is, anthropogenic global warming is accepted by a YUGE segment of the scientific community. Would you accept the consensus opinion of the American Physical Society AND the American Chemical Society? How about the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and at least 15 other national organizations of publishing scientists? See https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

@ElwoodBlues Yes, I would accept that.
Thanks so much for the info. 🤝
