.... and still people will deny the truth of global warming. This is getting to a point where anyone who doesn't acknowledge global warming is beginning to equate themselves closely to living in a cave.
CONGRATULATIONS to Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for sharing the Nobel Peace Prize this morning!
One last time, for those who still choose not to believe in human-caused global warming, here's how it works:
1) Burning fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide. If you do not understand this, click here.
2) Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If you do not understand this, click here.
3) Greenhouse gases make the earth warm. If you do not understand this, click here.
4) Making the earth warmer makes its ice melt. Our polar ice caps and the country of Greenland are... or are covered in... ice. If you do not understand this, click here. Making the earth warmer also causes stronger storms. If you do not understand this, click here.
5) Melting ice will cause the ocean's levels to go up. Stronger storms cause more loss of life and increased property damage. Here and here.
6) We don't like seeing our coastlines flooded, and we don't like seeing people die.
7) Therefore, it is wise to stop burning fossil fuels.
It's already too late for us. We are only working on making changes for our grandchildren at this point.
I am not going to respond to any more attacks or criticisms of Al Gore or Global Warming in this thread. You just need to go and start reading. You can start here.
