If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Patriarch said it was difficult to find data to show that the climate is looking pretty bad. So i said i'd spend 10 minutes on google. Pulled up those graphs from bbc etc, now obviously the graphs are not on their original website so what exactly is the point of your post??

a very good point that faithinfire has raised has been completely neglected. The methane produced from cattle, and rice fields, does contribute to global warming.

You may be right that so much has changed, except I have friends that still attend that university hearing much of the same message.

the 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.

Climate change 'should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a US national security concern', say the authors, Peter Schwartz, CIA consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network.

Human farming practices contributing to climate change... Isn't that an argument for acc???

Yes it is. So it would've been nice for someone to pick up on it, maybe point out the context for those who didn't find it blindingly obvious, and to see it as a valuable addition to the discussion. Instead you chose to pick up on her typo in "mispoke"...

The real solution is to stop being such energy whores. But it's so hard to know how much you use. I mean i can check my meter, but how the hell do i work it out. I can turn off a few lights but how do i tell what saves energy and what doesn't.

The hydrogen fuel cell is a fascinating technology.
quote from here https://inventors.about.com/od/fstartinventions/a/Fuel_Cells.htm
"In 1839, the first fuel cell was conceived by Sir William Robert Grove, a Welsh judge, inventor and physicist. He mixed hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of an electrolyte, and produced electricity and water. The invention, which later became known as a fuel cell, didn't produce enough electricity to be useful."
1839 it was invented and by a welshman no less. I just could not believe that when i found out. This is a prime example of a technology that has been supressed for monetary gain.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

In europe they are building a nuclear fusion reactor (like the sun, with i think no toxic waste at all since they fuse hydrogen into helium, i think) Now it's a long way off making electricity. I think the first proper test will be 2010-2020 something like that. It is an increadible machine. Absolutely enormous and remarkably similar to a Warp engine.

oh yeah patriarch, you didn't answer my question. Are people who actively pollute gods planet going to heaven or hell?

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.
