'Cause unlike China, who's set to become a global leader in green technology, we're still trying to fight carbon emission regulations and renewable energy research/legislation as much as possible I mean, most people in our government still deny climate change is even a thing. Pretty much all of them have stakes in big oil too. These people are going to let their greed ruin our planet Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our actions rival one of the strongest geological forces on Earth and that's terrifying Yeah i mean, whatever changes happen the habitat adapts to it. I seriously doubt were gonna end earths ecology. Earth has been warmer before than it is now, it can handle it i think some passionate scientists and environmentalists exagerate their predictions. They always make it sound like an ecological collapse is right around the corner and after decades it still jasnt happened probably the same people who have been predicting a massive oil shortage catastrophy since 1965 and look at us instead running out of oil storage in 2016 from so much oversupply but of course whenever change happens quickly many species go extinct so, i dont really wanna be the race responsible for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our actions rival one of the strongest geological forces on Earth and that's terrifying There is pretty good evidence from the data they have now that climate change currently happening is much faster than natural occurrences in the past. But the magnetic pull from the sun and sun spot activity along with some other factors (like volcanoes) are still not completely understood. I think it's a bit premature to completely blame human activity on this but I do agree that changing the way we humans use energy and the impact on the environment needs to be amended. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoful 13,304 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This is completely normal. The pole didn't just start shifting in 2000 it's been happening for a long time. It just has to do with the magnetic poles and the revolution around the sun. Don't belive this media s-hit "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..."

And that's the most important part we can argue all day about causes, political nonsense, etc, but what matters is results. Humans can stand to clean up our act regardless of how any one person thinks Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't belive this media s-hit It's that it changed direction it was heading towards North America, now because of the shift in mass (being water-ice that melted due to the climate changing more and more rapidly every year), it's now heading towards Europe. That's a big deal not exactly a dangerous one, but the next "big deal" might very well be. Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
