    Default 10 years ago, "scientists" said the effects of global warming will be irreversable

    10 years later, they're still saying the same thing

    Do you have evidence that it won't be irreversible?

    Are you stupid? 10 years ago they said global warming will be irreversable in 5-10 years if we don't do something about it.

    Right now in 2019, they're still saying the same thing. If we don't fix this problem in 5-10 years it will irreversible.

    so tell us a little bit about the effects of global warming over the past ten years, op. then proceed to tell us why those effects are reversible.

    Here's what I don't understand. Even if 99% of scientists are incorrect and global warming isn't an impending catastrophe, what the hell is so wrong with wanting to keep the planet livable for as long as possible for future generations?

    You know what's wrong? acting like the world is gonna "end"

    How about we tell the truth without trying exaggerate? If these scientist feed the politicians lies to keep their research funded how am I supposed to take them seriously?

    I don't need to tell you because global warming isn't real

    Not real? Here, refute the science and logic:

    The more greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere, the more energy gets trapped from escaping our atmosphere. The more energy gets trapped, the warmer the land/oceans/etc get as they absorb the excess heat. The warmer it gets, the more evaporation you get (ice caps/glaciers melt more too so water level rises too). The more evaporation you get, the more precipitation you get. More precipitation means more and stronger hurricanes/typhoons. More hurricanes means more destruction of people/infrastructure/forests/wildlife/etc.

    ^ All of those things are positive amplifications, making matters worse for us as time passes. Some of them also help contribute to forest fires, deforestation and desertification, which further amplifies climate change/global warming.

    We humans are mostly responsible for the excess greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere without a doubt. It's mainly two gases causing misery due to the extreme amounts.. CO2 from coal/oil/gas and methane from excess animal breeding (cattle) for our consumption. Other lesser amounts include NO2 from agriculture waste and other fluorides.

    Fewer ice caps/glacier coverage also means there is less sunlight being reflected back into space, which means more energy gets absorbed into the land/water rather than reflected back into space (look up 'albedo effect')... This is yet more positive amplification.

    That is global warming/climate change in a nutshell.

    I don't know why some still argue with people who deny scientific evidence. It's useless. Do you think you can change their mind when a pletora of scientific papers can't?

    Global warming will happen whether we are here or not. Everything we do is easily irreversible. Take for instance China's smog. Remember in the Beijing Olympics it took China one day to clear the smog and have perfectly clear sky's
