I'm guessing nobody constantly scans my posts for comments that people leve, so I thought I'd share these two with you.
"I knew a kid named Dan Richardson and he had a retarded brother who wrote his own music. Dan was the dumbest person I ever knew, until I read your blog. Shut up." -anonymous
my favorite comment so far. priceless....
Here's Drew's, although he's much less informative and articulate as the above fellow:
"Climate change is due to enhanced greenhouse effect. The globe is warming because of too much greenhouse gases. The most abundant and effective gases are: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour (H2O), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases absorb heat well because of the relatively high number of atoms in the molecules. With more atoms per molecule the molecules vibrate easily; so when the suns energy hits these molecules they begin to vibrate trapping the heat temporarily. The same thing happens when the reflected energy from the earth contacts these molecules, they absorb energy then release it. Basically the energy bounces around from molecule to molecule keeping the atmosphere warm. And apparently the atmosphere is where we get most of our heat (granted it is still indirectly from the sun). The atmosphere radiates heat to the earth simply because and only when it is warmer than the earth. If we will accept that as true then more greenhouse gases = more trapped heat. With more people and less plantation on the planet we are getting more and more CO2. With more cows on the planet we are getting more and more methane. If you never thought of cows polluting before go to Chilliwack and take a few deep breaths. I’m guessing that the methane is especially bad because of having 5 atoms per molecule there’s more to vibrate and trap heat. How about that… yet another reason to stop eating meat. This explanation of global warming doesn’t prove that we are experiencing it, but if what I read and reported is true global warming either started or it will.I’m not sure about all this because I did just read it on a website, and as everyone reading this blog knows any old fool can put anything on the internet. Aha … aha … aha. I also have a very limited knowledge of chemistry and an even smaller understanding of thermodynamics. So basically I really don’t know if global warming is happening or not, but the explanation of it sounds good and I don’t understand why “The Man” would invent a reason for everyone to eat less cow, chop less trees, and breed less."
Well that molecular info is interesting and good to know, but I was told that CO2 is only like 2% of the air, plus water vapor holds much more heat. The question is whether humans actually affect this balance in a significant way. Volcanos release insane amount of CO2 I believe. We've been told the temperature is already rising, but until there's real proof that isn't based on some computer scenario, I don't think I'll accept it. I don't think it's 'The Man' that invented the reason, I think it's scientists who want more money and base their livelihoods on the profitability of global warming research
