'Global Warming' is actually a massive misconception. 'Global Warming' is a small part of a bigger problem called the 'Greenhouse Effect' which is what we really need to worry about. For those who dont know, the Greenhouse Effect is basically the result of CO2 emissions. These emissions create holes in the atmosphere, and instead of bouncing off the atmosphere, radiation from the sun gets through these holes, and heats the earth.
Anyway, the Greenhouse Effect is getting out of control. The radiation from the sun is what is causing all these wild weather patterns; eg. Australia's hottest summer on record, Russia's coldest Winter on record etc. Whats worse is countries all around the world, especially in places like Brazil, continue to cut down millions of trees each year. Trees act as the lungs of the earth, and basically, they help keep the atmosphere stable. But with them being cut down, we are being left to bask in the suns radiation.
None of us will experience the full effects of The Greenhouse Effect if we continue this trend of rising CO2 emissions. But our kids, and our grandkids are going to look it straight in the eye.
And look at the weather extremes over in Europe over the last few weeks, its been absolutely freezing.
I'm not saying i dont believe in Global warming but 1 hot day like yesterday proves nothing. There have always been weather extremes. Look at the "summer" we had last year, above average rainfall and BELOW average temperatures. These things go in cycles.
these 'cycles' last thousands or years mate. what were seeing at the moment is sporadic, and a direct result of the Greenhouse Effect.
