nutspecial said:After reading this I was convinced in global warming:
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Then I was surprised to find it's actually from 1922. Makes me go 'hmmm?'- seems the world's been 'on the brink' for quite a while now.
Then also, how does it logically play into all this if there's evidence of major climate change in the distant past? Ice ages, pole shifts and flips. I would say a huge contributor to 'climate change' may have to do with the earth's axis, and magnetic fields.
I don't mean to disagree that things aren't on the brink.
I believe much of the evidence seems right- but take into account the earth has undergone pole oriented MAJOR change every dozen millenia though, then the last 5years, or 100 are a very small piece of the pie to use in the blame game. Not to mention there weren't many or any humans and suv's in the previous major earth changes. Magnetic changes are likely cyclical- take the sun for instance, it's change is a far shorter cycle, whereas the earth's appears to be a slow one.
Not an excuse not to be responsible- but there's plenty of info to question the official story- where who how and why.
The world has not been on the brink since 1922. However the seas were warming and the ice was melting because of increased CO2 since coal burning started in the 1700s.
The reason there was ATMOSPHERIC COOLING during the 1960-1970s was because sulfur pollution was beginning to overwhelm the CO2 levels, however once we got clean air regulations there was much less sulfur. However China has restarted the sulfur coal burning craze and once again dimming haze pollution is masking the full effect of global warming. In many areas of the world this sunlight decrease is over 10% of the sunlight.
Great BBC docu on global dimming.

The reason there is global warming is because we started cutting down forests, producing methane from mass agriculture, and burning fossil fuels. This began en masse in the 1700s. Population went from half billion to 7 billion in 300 years. We cleared over 90% of the forests in the USA in 300 years. Sure some of it has regrown, but only 7% of it is over 100 yrs old. Over 90% of all large fish species are now gone from the ocean. Ancient man disocovered bows and spears, and killed the megafauna. When he discovered fire he cleared forests with it. We've been destroying for a long time.
