Global warming is not a single data point to show the progress of greenhouse effects to our environment, it is a connection to many ecosystems that are being effected and in that they are all connected, sending the alarm there is something seriously wrong with our environment.
The evidence starting in 1900 of a massive rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is without question and that hydro carbons from 1920 on have risen to levels that are directly proportional to the growth of industry and population. Deforestation combined with natural events, like the massive livestock required to feed the world is another contributor. However, these indicators are minor compared to the most prevalent of all, the rising PH levels in the oceans to which has changed many ecosystems or have completely wiped them out. Pollution to our oceans from dumping of toxic chemicals and trash to radioactive materials which has had a direct impact on sea life. What is most alarming is the massive decrease in many species far beyond that from over fishing, but from those species that are dwindling in numbers due the the base of a food chain vanishing at the reef level. Plankton and Krill are two of the most important elements to the ocean, one providing the very oxygen we breath and the other is the base of food for sea life itself. Both species are born within the reef system and due to acidic levels and rising PH, reefs around the world are vanishing as fast as the rainforests in the most important areas of the world. We as a people do not notice because the water hides the massive damage to our ecosystem, but as it is known today, 80% of the great barrier reef is now gone and this is not a natural event nor is it isolated to this one region of the world. To compound the issue, with polar cap melting in the arctic, this event is releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases every single day that have been locked away for over 40,000 years. Should the AOC (Atlantic Ocean Current) be effected and stop it's seasonal flow due to massive ice changing the climate in that region, it will cause the next ice age. However, before that occurs, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans will see warmer waters and far more violent storms with category 6 and 7 storms which will result in ecological refugees on a scale never seen in human history. While the debate rattles on in the political circles of the world, 99% of scientists agree that global warming is real and that we have past the point of no return following the climate model from MIT in 1973.

The two possibilities seem to boil down to the Gaia Effect and the Medea effect.
Gaia stipulates that the planet is self-regulating and anything it encounters should produce some contrary effect that will regulate it back to a "normal" state. As Medea killed her children this effect is self explanatory. As for me? I wont be around by then and anything that kills all these motherfucking snowflake pussies that we (other people) have raised cant be all bad. |
