I thought gore said cause of climate change ice would melt.. fake news

Gore isn't a scientist

He's a politician

Gore said the Earth would die in 2016

😂 🙄 😂 😂

Some say fast growth of co2 will make a short hot-period... (less than 20y) - but then a fast ice-age

This was in a way a mainstream-belief still in 60-80s

what changed then?

We learned more

but what more??

It is kept oddly silent

why isn't it so anymore

and in 20 years will they "learn back" to it?

maybe they lost the way to know like nasa lost teh tech

ugh

thats a persistent myth

i think carbon tax is an excuse to fund the new world order

NASA didnt 'lose the tech', NASA lost the ability to replicate pieces of technology that are by all means ridiculously outdated, just like volkswagen cant churn out a 1969 beetle any more, and moog doesnt have the tools to build a 1969 system 55

well... it will happen eventually anyways... like every single time before

Get back on topic

If we cant keep on topics in daily debates ill just stop doing it

Science has been wrong initially before, the way we learn things is initially we make a prediction. Take the concept of plate tectonics, our theory had holes in it to begin with, but as more evidence was gathered the theory was improved until we have out current understanding today. Back in the 60s the majority of reports supported the fact that temperatures were rising due to greenhouses.

@Normal Man aye

science is a method of acquiring and perfecting knowledge, not that knowledge itself

that science is willing to change when it finds itself proven wrong should be taken as a token of its reliability (and the other way around: when the academic establishment maintains a position in the face of increasingly overwhelming evidence, thats usually a sign that something is being covered up or suppressed)

What caused climate-changes before?

Solar activity

Mainly

It then invoked a positive or negative feedback loop

short-term climate changes, like the pleistocene alternations of glacials and interglacials, are usually the straightforward result of solar cycles

Issue is this

Solar output isn't the driving factor

long-term ones, like the Cretaceous hothouse, usually have similar causes, but then set off a feedback loop: the changing circumstances affect the biological production of co2, which then leads to changes that last longer and are much more dramatic

human-made climate change is similarly concerning not necessarily because we as a species are having such an insurmountable effect, but because we are setting feedback loops in motion (like the acidification of the oceans) that can lead to absolutely disastrous consequences in just a couple decades

here in the netherlands, which as you might know is partially under sea level, we are already making serious plans to abandon the western half of the country, because our waterworks just cant handle the rising sea levels

I like global-warming tbh

is always to cold here

and the land rises still from last ice-age here

so no probs w that

The issue is that it won't benefit you, look at the Sahara, it's expanding and taking over farm land. There will be a massive migration crisis when people cannot feed themselves, or when they run out of water. Where will they go? They'll go to temperate, first world countries.

there's just to many ppl in there
