Mars and Jupiter have warmed at the same rate as Earth. Don't sweat that shit.

I am a scientist. Its all a bunch of crap, the models suck and the feedbacks are all wrong. Just relax and ignore the crazies...

Mars is a barren lifeless rock and Jupiter has no land at all.

Sweat that shit, bro. Sweat it hard.

It's machine code.

No they haven't. Stop lying and bullshitting.

I've seen some interesting documentary on National Geographic that explained it could be caused by the fact that both poles will eventually exchange sides... North and South, that is. T'was pretty cool, they said it happened few times before too, and cause the Earth's magnetic field to become weaker and thus the solar pew pew etc. Anyways, it may not be the only cause. So keep the planet clean, OP :3 I love you.

i am also a scientist and you are wrong. besides even if you are not saving power, recycling and using less fuel is never a bad thing.

I was just going to make this thread

I'm in support of the shrinking sun theory. Most of the planet in our solar system happened to be in the life-allowing radius from the sun. Mars is a barren rock now and will soon turn into a gas-planet much like saturn.
Eearth will wither and become the new mars while venus will allow for life as the sun retracts.

last i checked the sun was getting brighter and within a billion years the earth will be too hot to allow liquid water

Here is a link to a large number of peer reviewed studies that show that global warming is not caused by man.

Don't listen to the lies, recycle and pollute less but don't do it under the guise of saving the planet from catastrophe. This whole theory is designed to give the west a way of controlling the emerging economies in third world countries by forcing them to grow "green crops" that they will buy back ridiculously cheaply

As a person with a scientific background all I can say is that both sides of the isle are bullshitting and Al Gore is an idiot. As far as facts go all anyone can say is that within the last hundred or so years it has gotten cooler and then warmer and that there are really good hypotheses about whats causing the warming but no actual cause. Also real science is not a consensus, it is or it isn't. E doesn't equal MC2 just because the majority of scientist say so.

OP, I don't know. You might want to check out greenpeace, since you'll find there the whole range of environmental minded people: from radicalists to esoteric types to "meh, i guess it's important". Also they're pretty tame compared to others because they're such a huge organization and want to appear good, so they actually fund some research next to the PR stunts.

From personal experience I also suggest joining/starting a food cooperative, specializing in local products (organic if possible), since this is the best way to reduce your energetic impact.

Sorry bro, but lrn2planets

I want to think you're kidding, but it sure sounds like you're serious. That "theory" is terrible and burns at my soul.

Just because we're not the reason our planet is getting mildly hotter doesn't mean you shouldn't recycle or try to conserve energy, and it doesn't mean we shouldn't seek alternative energy sources (nuclear).

But if someone tells you to do so for the environment, don't listen to them. Crazy shit is getting passed under the guise of being "green" and the more public support it has, the easier those shenanigans will be to pass.

I ride my bike to work, unless im sick or running late.

You could use canvas bags to pack your groceries when you buy them OP.

Having an undergraduate degree in computer science doesn't make you an expert on climate change, bro.

>>3796819
well what qualifications do you have? i think im the only one here with any education in environmental science

I just remembered: meat only once a week (meaning a burger or a steak a week or a low, low amount each day)

the reason: agriculture uses huge amounts of oil and 1g meat needs 6-10 g in other agricultural products (soy), which can be problematic for other reasons, too.
