Planet is CHANGING !

[planetischanging]

Our planet is changing and we can feel the changes now a days and not taking it seriously. There are several issues which need immediate attention like, Global Warming, Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change, etc...

Can we still able to do something which can help our planet to stop changing rapidly? OR No time left to do something???

Please encourage all the peoples of different different countries to take part and motivate each other and share the knowledge to prevent the things. We have a time right now and "sooner or later we have to change our self" otherwise we will be HISTORY and no one'll left on the huge planet to read our HISTORY.

This is what a truth which we are not accepting and ignoring right now. But, keep in mind that we have created this problem and we have to fight with this problem from now !!

To add to your list of 19 things to do; 20: Have one or no children!
21: Go to non-CO2 producing power! 22: Drive a hybrid and only when absolutely necessary.

Thanks for giving additional points.

With one child only, non-CO2 power, and only necessary travel in a hybrid, bump this up above the spammers, who should be killed and composted to rebuild Earth's 2/3 lost soil.

Our planet is changing...more storms??? Oooo more storm chasing!! Sounds good to me...and as long as humans never did anything to cause this change in the first place, why should be try to stop something that's natural?

Sorry, I don't mean any of these posts as personal attacks. I'm just so sick and tired of hearing about climate change in general, I'm about ready to puke...But I still love wind power, so ironic...but I do!!

Too bad, Kelly. I'm Theodore Roosevelt/Ike Eisenhower Republican myself. I can't stand Sarah Palin's over-breeding and ignorance of the human caused global warming effects in her own state. You can puke all you want, but human caused pollution in the form of carbon dioxide far above natural rhythms IS causing malevolent climate change, mainly in the form of fluctuation beyond historic, melting tundra with methane release, and melting glaciers. Overpopulation has been known since the 1960s and is the ROOT cause of all environmental problems. Throw in stupidity with ignorance, and greed.
Humans are the ones putting all the extra CO2 in the air, with burning coal and oil, draining marshlands and slash and burn farming to feed the overpopulation.
Green? Just because you like wind power?
Wind power and solar power are to reduce putting out CO2. I like safe nuclear developed in the 1990s and not utilized yet. Hydro is great, including micro-hydro, but the sad look of Lake Powell is from human consumption from overpopulation mixed with increased evaporation by global warming.
The plastic trash gyres the size of continents is from overpopulation and uncaring stupid people. The 100 ever expanding estuary dead zones are from trying to feed overpopulation with excessive and wrong fertilizers. Mercury settling nearly everywhere from dirty coal plants, and other poisons building up in our waters, ground and sky. The over-breeders demand for fish is making it so the oceans will be depleted before mid century and the big fish are full of mercury---even in pristine mountain lakes. Human interference and ignorance has ruined many ecosystems, and the back ground extinction rate is many times "normal".
Look at the ones doing all the over-breeding----the stupid, the crowd tolerant (a negative genetic trait developed from years of living in crowds over ecological carrying capacity long term), some of the greedy(the ones who are genetically greedy or think they are so great like Nazis), even ones you would think to know better like many American Indians. Overpopulation as an unstoppable expanding Juggernaut feeding on itself and blowing out depletion, destruction, and pollution as it rolls on toward THE CLIFF OF ECO-COLLAPSE. It's a monster bringing unimaginable future misery and death, and maybe even extinction of most life for a long time, with self-sustained methane release from human caused CO2 levels starting it.

"America where are you now, don't you care about your sons and daughters, don't you know we need you now, we can't fight alone against the monster".
Substitute your country's name for America, because extremely GROSS overpopulation, and its depletion and pollution far beyond Earth's regeneration and absorption rates is a WORLD PROBLEM!!!

my sign off is the Ute Rule of Life (too bad it isn't the morality of all people):

Can anybody explain that fact? Is the Earth's axis shifting?

Technically the Earth axis tilt is wobbly and along with the orbit being most elliptical from astronomical effects, the tip is at or near its steepest, so the northern hemisphere with the most land mass has the shortest summers. We should be cooling down at the onset of the glacial epoch, but are not because of the amount of HGHGs. Theoretically, for a person to actually notice the difference in tilt, you would have to live for thousands of years.
Some scientists think that we are now actually in a different era, the anthropocene era where human effects on the planet are strong enough to be a geologic force on nature, and stronger than the astronomical effects which brought about the ice ages.

Unfortunately the planet is not changing in any of the ways you believe it to be. If you calm down for a moment and look at the earth from a purely scientific point of view, you might be able to see the truth.

Stop blaming all of your life's problems on corporate greed, and look at things bigger than smokestacks that could be affecting the planets conditions.

Heating the earth is a giant swirling ball of flaming gas burning at over 15 million degrees celsius. It does however fluctuate in the amount of energy it puts out. This change in energy output is measured in solar cycles. Current data on sunspots suggests we are entering another "little ice age" just as we did in the 1600's. The earth has been much warmer than it is now, despite what al gore would love for you to think. In a short matter of years we will all be looking back on this pathetic attempt to scare the public into hiking up taxes on energy bills, and wondering why we didn't look past our emotions and our guilt driven society to think about a better future for ourselves.

There is no mention in this thread of "corporate greed". The climate forcing by solar variation is 1/10th that of human forcing. Get real of get out, asswipe!

[moguitar]

We were on a 2000 year cooling trend from the Earth's orbit going slightly elliptical and the Earth's tilt reaching near maximum. Geologically, the end of the interglacial epoch and the start of the next glacial epoch of 90K years.
In the past, initiation of the epoch was accelerated by increased reflectivity of snow that stayed. Solar cycles helped a little, but volcanic eruptions did more. With the Earth at maximum tip and maximum ellipticity of orbit, the snow tended to stay and reflect more solar radiation, cooling the earth more, with more snow staying, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. This was the major process. Years of low sunspot activity tend to cool the Earth a very slight amount, and years with volcanic aerosols much more.
However, human caused greenhouse gases(CO2, NO2, CH4 and water vapor) have brought the atmospheric level of them to a much greater forcing than even the forcings of Earth's tilt and orbital ellipticity, and much greater than solar activity changes. The sunspots have started their 11 year cyclic return with increasing activity(the first large spot several months ago), and even during their recent absence, the Earth's atmospheric temperatures stayed on the rising trend. In 2009 the tundra methane releases from human caused global warming more prevalent in the arctic, were at the tipping point of becoming self sustaining without more human caused greenhouse gas emissions. This is a critical point, because as it passes it is humanly impossible to stop the progression to the release of most trapped methane, and that progressive atmospheric warming going in a delayed manner of around 20 years per 100 meters or more of ocean depth to the explosive releases of methane clathrate deposits and other methane hydrate deposits at varying depths (see other threads). This accelerates the warming even more, whether the fizz outs ignite or not and when they break down into water vapor and more CO2. The whole process happening ten times or more faster than when it last occurred 55 million years ago. The recovery time then was 3 million years and it was initially caused by thousands of years of volcanic activity increase with more CO2, and then the ash settling out. 1/3 the species died out then, but this time there is much less time to adapt. So this one, caused initially by human overpopulation and fossil fuel burning, will have a much greater extinction rate. It has been estimated it will be 87%.
The Earth will go on, and probably after a similar recovery period as the Eocene max episode, new species will thrive.
