There is more energy in the Earth's system at this time and more water too (as the ice caps melt).mr cat said:The earth is getting warmer (because of the emissions) and this is causing warmer weather, storms - which can cause fires, which make the earth warmer....we'll also be experiencing more freak kind of weather, then to top it all off, countries like india (which have been poor for a long time) are now getting lots of jobs with call centres etc, so, there is the potential for another 50 million people buying tvs, cars, washing machines etc
Sorry, what I meant to say was that the levels of emissions have been increasing year on year and that the climate change, assuming it's affected by the emissions, is reckoned to be working some years 'in arrears'. Therefore, even if the emissions were to stop now, there would be a worsening of the climate for some years to come.Paul Ranson said:There is no evidence at all that the effect is 'cumulative' and will worsen exponentially.
Paul Ranson said:It's obviously a good idea to reduce emissions, but since government policy is to increase them it's hard for individuals to make a difference.
