Global Warming is bs. We are goning to have another ice age either way its, irrelevant. People survived it last time and being far more advanced im sure we can do it this time.
At 2nd Pster. The mayan calander has been adapted to the gregorian calander and 2012 is the date that it spat out.
You're a muppet.
As a SCIENTIST who works on climate change impacts on wild populations, human induced climate change (HICC) is REAL, there is more scientific consensus on HICC than the theory of relativity. There is an undeniable correlation between human release of greenhouse gases and a rise in global temperatures. There's not even a way to tweak the stats comprehensibly and show anything else. It's there, there's simply no credible way to refute the evidence. It's also occurring at a rate faster than even worst case predictions a decade ago.
Now, no scientist who works in HICC will tell you it's going to cause human extinction. That's alarmist wank from the typical nutters and stupid hemp wearing tree huggers who no one really cares about. However, climate patterns are already shifting. Whilst humans will more than likely pull through this one, a lot of organisms simply won't. The end of the Jurrassic extinction event left only 5% or less of the species on earth at the time, so catasrophic mass extinctions have occurred in the past and will occur in the future. Extinction rates have experienced exponential growth since the industrial revolution and as human resource usage and population increases, this extinction event is not over yet and will probably get worse before it gets better.
I and many other scientists believe the big problem for humans will be displacement over the next century. Places that are currently good to produce food and live in a steadily becoming less so. Australian farmers talk about this drought like it's going to end. Guys, this is a la nina year, a rainy year. Only the rain that used to fall on the wheat belt is falling in the Southern Ocean already. Adapting to a rapidly changing global climate, especially when idiots like you are dong their best to impersonate an ostrich will be one of the big challenges facing mankind over the next 100 years.
Those who will suffer the greatest, as per usual won't be you or I, but those people existing in marginal conditions. If food increased 4 fold in value we'd still have enough to eat, many wouldn't.
