Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire how can i determine if climate change is real?

The answer to your original question regarding the reality of climate change is easy, Gus. Ask some twelve year old or, a reasonable equivalent, Al Gore.

it's an exceedingly interesting subject for any of us who are willing to waste time thinking about and discussing it.

i like open ended challenges. i learned when i was hiding under my desk in elementary school that something strange was going on.

if we could further melt the north pole area down, and convert into water, a north passage way could be opened for trade and shipping.

lowering costs, and increasing efficiency.

should there be a tax toll booth at the north pole? and who should be collecting the taxes?

some of the crazies think that humans are the cause of all of it.

but what good would the urth be without humans?

Nobody has even mentioned the little Asperger girl's tirade on CC at the u.n.

no tellin' who her mentors, coaches and managers are.

probably a world class group of true believers.

The cause of this ice age was a mystery, until now: a new study in Science Advances argues that the ice age was caused by global cooling, triggered by extra dust in the atmosphere from a giant asteroid collision in outer space.There’s always a lot of dust from outer space floating down to Earth, little bits of asteroids and comets, but this dust is normally only a tiny fraction of the other dust in our atmosphere such as volcanic ash, dust from deserts and sea salt.

“We’ve shown that what happens in the solar system can have a big influence on Earth,” Heck. “Extraterrestrial events aren’t always destructive. Many people think about meteorites as just dinosaur killers, but we found the opposite. A big collision in the asteroid belt had constructive consequences that led to cooling and biodiversification.”

But when a 93-mile-wide asteroid between Mars and Jupiter broke apart 466 million years ago, it created way more dust than usual.
