Why is the climate changing. (Page 74) zeffur: Plant more trees--they sequester carbon & release oxygen very efficiently. We can also use machines such as the following: https://www.fastcompany.com/40421871/this-machine-just-started-sucking-co2-out-of-the-air-to-save-us-from-climate-change You 'sky is falling' pessimists are going overboard. All the carbon on earth is designed to be in this environment--we aren't adding any new carbon--we're just transforming it. Yeah it will create some minor changes--but it will probably help us last longer when the next big freeze occurs--which by some theories won't be long (maybe 500 yrs or less). kittybobo34: Burning oil and coal is adding carbon to the environment. That stuff was buried deep underground and out of the cycle of life. Right now 50% of the carbon in the air is from coal/oil. It's a slightly different isotope than regular environmental carbon. ghostgeek: I hear Yellowstone is a super volcano that is overdue to go "pop". That would correct the carbon imbalance. ghostgeek: Just been watching a video about Toba going bang 75,000 years ago. Seems temperature took a thousand years to recover. ghostgeek: Fortunately, none exist near where I live. The U.S. on the other hand, seems to have three. kittybobo34: Ghost,, 3 in the USA? I am only aware of Yellowstone as a super volcano. (Edited by kittybobo34) Sir Loin: Mt st Helens? Heck our entire country is volcanic. The biggest city, Auckland is built on 7 volcanoes Fractured fairy tale: Nothing to worry about its all a Hoax Tump said so and hes da best ever Space Mirrors lol the Chinese have already done that . The more this goes on the more . I makes me think how stupid humans really are ghostgeek: The United States is home to three active supervolcanoes, the USGS has determined: The famous Yellowstone, Long Valley and the Valles Caldera in New Mexico.

Fractured fairy tale: You really think so zeff Mabry the Aliens left them behind . Come on zeff tell us seeing as tho you have contact zeffur: I never asserted that I 'have contact' with any aliens. It seems that the only contact you've likely had is with a frying pan smacking you in the head repeatedly, based on what & how you type. Fractured fairy tale: its ok Texas is the Centre of the Universe I understand. We all cam be as good as you just the way it is | Science Chat Room 1 Person Chatting Similar Conversations |
