yes i know this topic doesnt belong here but the misc section is dominated by idiots so i need some smart minds
first, im assuming you all know what global warming is so ill jump right into the details
critics argue that global warming is a phenomenon which is natural and not directly attributable to human actions
they say that global warming has nothing to do with the increase of carbon dioxide levels within the atmospher seen over the past couple hundred years
well i propose a simple experiment, take a box full of regular air, shine a laser thru it and have a light meter at the other end to see how much light gets transmitted, now start pumping in carbon dioxide and measure any changes, obviously there are other factors at work like albedo and concentration of the gas at the upper atmosphere, the sun's output bla bla bla, but this would either prove or disprove the whole greenhouse gas theory bla bla bla
secondly, regardless of whether or not global warming is "our" fault, should we continue to let it happen, global warming brings undeniable consequences which are "bad" for wildlife, and humans alike, so even if this is a "natural" process, shouldn't we try to control it somehow ??
albeit if co2 emissions have nothing to do with global warming, we'd have a much harder time of controlling this process since we'd have to do something outrageous like change the entire planet's albedo or errect some type of huge disc mirror thingy in space at the lagrange between the earth and sun ...
im really tired right now since im writing a geography exam tommorow which i hvnt gone to class for in the past 8 months ...
