A question for people who believe global warming is caused by rising CO2
Communists and leftists keep telling you that the planet is doomed because of global warming no, wait..."climate change." They claim it's being caused by CO2, and specifically the CO2 produced by burning oil, gas and coal.
They claim the danger is so huge that the planet will be unavoidably doomed unless we take drastic action within ten years!!!
And what do they want you to do? For starters, ban all fossil fuels. Which would mean no more air travel (except for elected officials, of course). So how do they suggest you heat your home, or get hot water, without fossil fuel?
Why, that's not their problem, citizen. Besides, you can always use electricity, even though it's twice as costly as natural gas. Of course they don't realize that almost two-thirds of our electricity comes from coal and natural gas, and that banning fossil fuels will cause a huge shortage of electricity. But hey, it's not their problem, right?
Ah. But the greenies don't know history or science. So the next time some leftist asshole starts yelling that you're killing the planet by doing...anything...ask 'em to explain the historic record below:
It's a map of Glacier Bay, Alaska. When first mapped in 1760 the glaciers filled the entire bay. But every year after that, the glaciers retreated, as you see on the map. By 1907 they'd retreated to almost where they are today.
Now here's the problem for leftists: From 1760 to 1907 there were hardly any automobiles, and virtually no significant sources of carbon dioxide. So if glacial retreat is caused by global warming, how did the glaciers in Glacier Bay retreat so hugely between 1760 and 1907--a period when human output of CO2 was virtually non-existent?
Feel free to send this link to any liberal/Dem friends you have who buy into the "OMG we have to ban all fossil fuels or the Earth is doomed!" bullshit.
