Weather and Climate is one of the most difficult things to predict in science because of the choas effect. (A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil creates a hurricane in China for example.) so many tiny variables. According to theorists, if we had a sensor for weather in every square meter of Earth we still could not predict the long range weather that great, cause small unseen disturbances build up exponentially over time (eg our population) So this and the infinite amount of other factors like ocean temp and co2 absorption make accurately predicting the short term effects of global warming very hard.
But the basics of what increasing our atmosphere with green house gasses does, is certain. It is physics, the most accurate of the sciences. It traps in the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth, thereby increasing the atmospheres temperature. The more gas you put in the more heat it stores. With this extra heat, think about a pot of water slowly cumming to a boil as the air in our atmosphere. It starts off smooth then starts to swirl and boil. You get more extreme weather, winds and storms before finally ending in a boiling wasteland.
What you do not get could probably fill a library.
Why do you automatically take the reductio ad absurdum position that anyone against being taxed to death
for some alt left feels good man thinks this way.
One does not equal the other.
Want to see some garbage in the streets ?
Go to the 3rd world countries that have lots of garbage in the streets.
You know, the ones that aren't paying the world saving carbon taxes.
What is the truth about Global warming have to do with paying a carbon tax. It is either true or it is not, and the carbon tax has nothing to do with it. I am against the carbon tax too for crying out loud. Yet this is a common argument against global warming, gets me.
The carbon tax is just our governments way to deal with the problem. I strongly disagree with it. It will not solve the problem especially with increasing population. The solution I am for is the government working towards everybody in our country to have solar panels and windmills on our roofs. Then we will use very little green house gases instead of people paying more to use almost the same.
You can believe global warming is true and disagree on how our government handles it.
