Downstrike/environment

An exposé of several propagandistic falsehoods used by Gobal Warming denialists.

Both natural and man-made climate change causes.

From the page: '
"It shows that our climate system has the ability to make very abrupt changes all by itself," said Dahl-Jensen. Some climate-change deniers would say that this proves that mankind is not important in changing the climate.'

Instead of asking whether mankind is important in changing the climate,
we should ask whether the changing climate is important to mankind.

CH4 is 20 times as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2, and the biggest source of that in the world now is thawing permafrost.

Gasp! They're onto me!

From the page:

"My dad has a PhD in Physics from Princeton. He's been working in the UC (University California) system for around 40 years interacting with other scientists around the world from America to Russia. My point is: He's connected. He see and hears the basic research 20 years before anyone else does.

Back in 1985, he told me a story about how these vast underwater beltways of ocean currents were carrying the heat from the equator to the north and south poles keeping them at bay. The titanic solar powered heater which makes Earth such a comfy place to live. He also described to me how, when global warming melts the ice sheets those underground currents will halt due to the loss of salinity (overinfused with fresh water). Then, in a period of 10 years, half of the earth will instantaneously freeze in another ice age. The hell of this prophecy is, when the caps suddenly freeze, they will reflect light/heat and the earth will take a millenium to defrost.

This was back in 1985. 20 years later, the prophecy is happening."

The City of Modesto, CA has powered its fleet with landfill-generated biofuel since the 70s, and people in Humboldt County, CA have been fueling up with biodiesel since the 80s. It's high time someone else admitted that non-petroleum fuels are practical.

It's educational, but if you're going to put a quiz online, make it interactive!
