Yeah, it is real. It is NATURAL.
I used to be in the field. I know more about it than you.
Not trying to be an ass, but EDUCATE others.
And yes, higher gas prices cause people to drive less, and that is their ultimate goal. Wait till the tax PER MILE starts.
So, tell me, what happened to the glaciers over NYC?
When did they retreat?
How were the Finger Lakes formed?
How did Glacial Erractics end up in Central Park and all over the Northeast?
How is it that we are actually entering a new ice age, but it won't be for another ~9,000 years and "WE" will never see it?
If humans did not put out wildfires, and they burned out of control, what happens?
Why is it okay to clear-cut forests to install solar farms when black panels absorb the most radiation?
How does the tilt of the Earth play into all this?
What happens if you put ice into a cup and fill it to the brim with water?
Why doesn't it over flow?
What happens when sediment displaces water in dams? which is a HUGE problem for capacity. Apply that with sediment from land into the oceans.
What happens when tectonic action allows volcanoes to form under the ocean, which also displaces water?
I already have the answers, so it is just food for thought.
Earth IS a giant recycling facility.
The oceans are the largest carbon sink, yet they focus on trees that, again, they clear-cut for solar.
