I dare you to look at these 11 pictures and tell me that there is no Climate Change going on.

I am not sure they all indicate climate change, the first one does but the bananas do not.

However it does not matter who is the cause, man or nature the planet is in flux. Look at the weather patterns, polar ice cap, the melting Greenland etc. It does not matter who is at fault, man needs to do what ever it can to turn it around.

The climate is always changing, day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year, decade to decade, century to century, and so on.

What is alarming, is the RATE at which change is occuring today, compared to the rate of change in documented history. Not just statistical documentation, but nature's documentation; tree rings, ice sheet thickness, co2 levels in old ice, etc.

What is more alarming is, what can each of us do? As an individual my efforts are useless unless enough of us collectivelly change our ways.

And then, don't over do it or we might bring on the next ice age.

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

Simple question:

Project, what did the polar ice cap look like when the

Vikings grazed sheep and cattle in Greenland, 1000AD?

And what could they have done to bring on the little ice age afterward?

Two good questions by moi.

Personally I'm not convinced that global warming is caused by human activity. The sun has only to fart to produce major effects on Earth.

A question: Why hasn't the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere declined? With the massive clearing of forests and the colossal amounts of fossil fuel being consumed 24/7 I would have expected a reduction in atmospheric oxygen.

So far I haven't read anything about that. Does anyone know?

wow! id never heard of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch before, thats absolute madness!

Ice ages have come and gone without our help.

What makes us so arrogant to believe we are having the impact whackos like Algore claim?

Dare you to look at this photo and tell me there was no climate change going on - 10,000 years ago.

I have this theory that Nevada was once one big happy Hippy Hollow inhabited by people selling each other lakeshore lots and McFur burgers. Then the dang old climate heated up. Now I only get to see titties at Burning Man.

I think Nevada was once a vast tobacco growing field which had lost all of it's phosphates.

You got me wondering, so

About 25 million years ago, oxygen concentrations topped out at about 23 percent, around 2 percent higher than today's value.

Changes in the air: variations in atmospheric oxygen have affected evolution in big ways

I know I for one can feel the difference in the amount of oxygen we had years ago and the amount we have now.

The thing that makes me wonder the most is how MacWolf survived this long with the lack of air we have to breath.
