OK, I am sick of all the greedy fossil fuel companies passing off fiction as fact. The Earth is dying, and we are killing it. Fossil fuels are releasing CO2 that was sequestered deep in the Earth for millions of years. This slight change (and yes, compared to frigid space and near star temperature extremes, it is slight) is enough to upset the delicate balance of our natural world. Ten degrees Celsius is all it takes to destroy the planetary weather systems upon which life depends.
Heat from the sun is the driving force behind Earth’s weather. There are several hard facts of physics to be considered.
More “greenhouse” gas means the planet is blanketed and holds more heat.
Water vapor, CO2 and Methane are all greenhouse gases.
The Earth reached an equilibrium over millions of years, giving us the weather the planet has up until a few thousand years ago, when men began changing the Earth. This was not much of a factor at first, as people were few and the Earth was big.
But, modern industry and global population have “turned up the heat” on greenhouse gases, we emit a lot of these today. OK, so far no “studies”, just cold hard facts which you can verify yourself.
The Earth is dying, and we are killing it
Now, as the Earth gets warmer, the ocean temperature slowly goes up. Warmer water is larger than colder water (with a notable exception of the crystallization effect of ice forming) and so a warmer ocean is higher.
Also, air is greatly affected by our Earth warming. Warmer air is more fluid. It resists movement much less than cold air. A warmer planet therefore will have faster winds.
So, add it all up: Warmer water, warmer air, more evaporation, more wind, more clouds and larger storms.
Poisioning our water…
Compounding on that mess, we are also choking the waters with micro-plastic particles. These things break down into pseudo-hormones that cause profound changes in how gender works in animals.
Poisioning our Land…
We are digging up rare earth metals and shipping them to every house with any modern technology. We are dumping pesticides and industrial waste into our own water supply.
So, yes, when bees and frogs start showing actual evidence of the coming wave of ecological imbalances, its a warning sign. A canary in the coal mine, if you will.
The Earth is dying, and we are killing it
Be conservative, believe in men from the sky, or ghosts, or little green men… BUT stop poisoning our earth, air and waters! Our grandchildren will appreciate it. If we can still have any after all the pseudo-estrogen feminizing hormones turn all males infertile.
So, how to help? Quit ignoring climate deniers.
The price of their denial is death for billions..
