 Re: The Big Question: Is there a technological solution to the problem of global warm
Considering that ICE at the poles is relatively new occurance at arround 32million years and that global warming is a cyclic phenominon proven to have occured throughout this planets history, governed by many different factors outside of our arrogant control, you'd have thought that governments would have found better things to do with their time.
We are still some 6deg cooler than the average mean temp for the planet as a whole since data can be calculated.
Would I mourn the loss of polar bears - yes, would New York and Holland sinking into the rising sea's be a shame - possibly !!, but lets not be so arrogant as to think that we have complete understanding or control of this planets complex processes.
The changes that we can affect are to prevent habitation loss, pollution and species persecution - other than that we are at the whim of mother nature and will probably suffer the same fate as the other 99.9% of all species that no longer exist on this planet.
Unit - sorry about the rant GW winds me right up  |
