I'll ask you a question that I asked the late Queen of England's former Scientific Advisor a couple of years ago; Are you saying that over 2 centuries of increasing industrial exhaust, car exhaust (i.e., smoke stacks), deforestation and urbanization has only a negligible effect on the eco-system?
False analogy. We're talking climate, not general effect on the environment. You'd think a "scientific advisor" would know better...
And your first two sentences here give a blatant example of your sheer ignorance regarding the subject being discussed.
Just how on God's green Earth do you think "climate" comes about? I mean besides how the sun hit's the Earth during it's rotation? When your TV meteorologist explains weather patterns, notice how he incorporates moisture and dry air and such into his forecasts? How cloud cover affects duration of temperature? That goes along with rain & snow, ya know.
Ever watch a Nature or Discovery show? When they describe living in desert area or rain forests? One has deadly heat during the day and near freezing cold at night. The other has intense humidity that only decreases some at night. Why, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OR ABUNDANCE OF PLANT LIFE!
As I write this, my local news is reporting about the intense number of tornadoes ripping through the southern states.....this just after reports of devastating winter snow storms in the midwest earlier this year. These have been increasing in length and intensity in the last decade or more.
You have intense severe droughts in places like Colorado, land slides in California (along with forest fires). Of course, no one points out that man made dams, suburban landscaping and such contribute to that.
Remember, when you remove vast areas of forests and such and replace them with hear reflective & enhancing concrete & glass, you affect the climate. City & industrial air pollution affects plants and tree (if you're not old enough to remember, look up "acid rain").
I could go on, but hopefully you'll put your pride aside and get up to speed on the subject (objective, honest research beyond what you want to hear). THINK, son, THINK before you post.
