A thought experiment....

wow,you Really nailed it.
excellent point about the environment versus climate change.
i guess thats my way of thinking,that humanity is really working against itself on this planet.
we are like a scourge upon the earth.
we pollute in So many ways,
raze entire areas of trees and vegetation,
work our croplands till they are no longer fertile,
treat our farmers the worst and depend on them the most,
pour chemicals and feces into the oceans,
dump our trash and nuclear fuel into them....
the list is endless....

there was a part in the movie the Matrix that explains Perfectly what im trying to say...
go to 2:13-3:07 on this vid,and lmk what you think....



heres the quote as well,in case youd rather just read it.
Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.

At this point the only way to reverse the pollution of our environment is to absolutely ban any and all plastic items. Period. No more convenience crap. Glass or coated cardboard. No more plastic bags. Or paper bags. Use a cloth sack. No more just throwing **** out for a newer model. Anything that you don't want gets taken to a center by you or the trash man for recycling or rehoming. Toxic waste has to be dealt with, regardless of cost. If it cant be made harmless then don't produce it. Stop paving over every damn thing.
Of course all of that will never come to pass in a zillion years because..human nature. Because no money to be made from those practices.

I started recycling yrs ago and now it's nothing but milk jugs,water; no plastic bags of any kind. I smell conspiracy. No real idea for reformulating any of this stuff,and by the way; how big is that plastic puddle out in the central Pacific Ocean?
 
The GPGP covers an estimated surface area of 1.6 million square kilometers, an area twice the size of Texas or three times the size of France.

Plastics can be turned into fuel. This was discovered quite some time ago but since there is no profit to be made, no appetite for its wide use. Make the plastic manufacturers pay into the cost of this kind of recycling. Government needs to act.

remember,pollution isnt just some smoke in a chimney......

How long will Fukushima be radioactive?
Seven years on, radioactive water at Fukushima plant still flowing into ocean, study finds. More than seven years after the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis, radioactive water is continuing to flow into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled No. 1 plant at a rate of around 2 billion becquerels a day, a study has found.Mar 29, 2018.
Seven years on, no end in sight for Fukushima's long recovery. Removing nuclear fuel from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant will take 30 to 40 years, Tepco says.Mar 11, 2018

That wasn't the question.
I want proof-from an observed scientific experiment-that proves Man is causing global warming or climate change.

Maybe that's the Canadian way of solving things.

I'll jump in. A few years back I did a quick calculation with publicly available data and a prediction that was made and published 30 years ago that was based on the radiative forcing of carbon dioxide (taking into account human emissions). I had no idea how this would work out. The result suggests the models are better than we give them credit for and that the forcing of those models with carbon dioxide produced by people would match the conditions that resulted after those models were made. This is what climate science can tell us. The climate predictions are of use for people in insurance industries, military, and other businesses. I am well aware that we cannot prove things physical or climate related, however, we have a lot of evidence that points to a human impact. Pollution, environmental change, frequent flooding, tornadoes, climate change whatever you want to call it. Humans have an impact on the system and it is just a question of how much.

The yellow dots are the ones since the model was published.

It is not in our interest to admit responsibility when it could cost us money now and in the future. We love to argue. It isn't going to change no matter how much we stick our heads in the sand.

Models are not observed science. They are predictions made by......


Wait for it......




MAN.
 
These climate change clowns are nothing more than technology pimps. They have sold the latest generation into believing that the sky is falling, because they have billions invested in their new green deal b.s. They cut down oxygen producing trees to put up solar panel farms! They laugh at us from their mansions, private jets and limos,while they use scare tactics to have the masses driving around in little electric cars. They are laughing all the way to the bank! They spend more money and waste more electricity running their gormet ice cream refrigerator than most people spend in a year to heat their homes!
 
I get the pollution problem and it's real. Yes we are filling the whole world with the crap we use once and then throw away, but I stop listening when we find that cow farts are a major factor and or problem that needs to be addressed to stop global warming and or climate change.
 
Mankind is but a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of mother earth. I doubt that we will have much of an effect on the planet when our time is over and the next species takes over.
 
Cockroaches and MoPar sixes...

Still waiting for that observed science.
