Yes, you can help to stop Global Warming. Simply buy an E-bike, an E-golf cart, an E-car, or an E-truck. That will put less CO2 into the upper atmosphere and lessen the HEAT reflection.

Scientists disagree !!!!!!

Good thought-provoking post.

The higher the temperature the more water vapor that AIR can hold.

It just isn't that simple. Arkansas will now be hosting Exxon-Mobile's first foray into the United States with mining lithium. The process involves separating the lithium from saltwater. In Arkansas. A landlocked state. There's no natural saltwater, they have to drill over 10,000 feet to get to it. The process also results in pollution to area freshwater sources. Which means - a whole lot of new employees to do the drilling, and a whole lot of new employees to dig new plots in cemeteries to bury all the people who will die from poisoned water sources.

And that's because - there is no place to PUT the polluted water, they don't have the kinds of treatment plants necessary to clean the toxic waste produced by the lithium drilling operation.

No point in reducing global warming that will happen eventually whether we contribute to it or not, if everyone is dead before it ever gets that far.

There's lots of lithium in Arkansas. So there's going to be lots of drilling. And lots of displaced wildlife who have to live somewhere, but won't be living near the wells. The country will be less reliant on foreign sources for lithium - which is where you get those batteries for your electric vehicles. So we pollute the land to get the lithium that makes the batteries we use in our electric cars that we drive to prevent pollution from oil drilling.

See what I mean? It's not that simple.

The only SACRIFICES that need to be made are for 30 % of new car, truck, and golf cart buyers to purchase E-vehicles instead of the polluting internal combustion vehicles.

Is that worse than double dribble in basketball?

The last 8 years are the warmest in recorded history. Definitely man-made !!!!!!

Remind me... What brand of E-bike, E-golf cart, E-car/truck did you purchase?

Yes, because man has been around for only 8 years...

Which increases the temp more than CO2 does...

It is unusual to have record breaking snowfall in early November. I believe the El Niño effect is responsible. Record breaking precipitation is being seen throughout the world. Some major cities have flooded due to an abundance of rain. Buckle up your seat belts! Most likely, we are going to see some crazy weather this year.

As a side note, some posters stated precipitation is not an element of climate. It most definitely is! The rain forest and arid climates are perfect examples.

Well.... to start with, could it be a "follow the money" thing... do you think it's possible that many have made a great deal of money by engaging in research projects that support global warming ? There are so many ways to produce convincing "research", the average man on the street (whoever that is) unless they completed an earned PhD with a research requirement, have no idea how easy it is to set up a study to "prove" whatever you wish to prove. Choose your variables carefully, ignore any that might counter indicate, set your level of error carefully, chose your experimental groups carefully.. it is very easy when you know the structure, but, I doubt very much that any climate scientists would engage in such "adjusted" study formats, just like our pharmaceutical manufacturers would never construct trials and studies to produce favorable results for a new medicine or vaccine, right ?

Probably true. For some, money is a motivating factor.

Did you know that commercial snow crab fishing in the Bering Sea off Alaska has been banned for the second straight year? There has been a huge decline from 8 billion down to 1 billion in the crab population due to the warming waters which increase the crab's metabolism and cause them to starve. The crab season has never been canceled before.

Global warming/climate change statistics are the result of averaging temperatures over an entire year. Yes, some winters may be colder than others but over a period of years, decades and centuries the earth's temperatures have been steadily rising. To deny scientific facts and to do nothing to combat the warming trend shows total disregard and selfishness for the generations to follow.
