Pollen? We're not talking about pollen as our global climate problem. Carbon dioxide and heat. Let's say you had a greenhouse and could heat the inside and add carbon dioxide. Arguing that the plants grow to use the gas and thrive in the heat is ... better after some experimentation.

Fact of the mater is that Hillary lost the election according to the way the United States runs presidential elections and that is all that really matters. End of that story. Hillary's whole campaign was nothing more than a victory celebration to her supposed win which was a big mistake on her part. Back on topic. If Global Warming is an issue it is defitely serious. However I don't believe it is an issue as perceived by the alarmists. That is nothing more than my opinion and I am entitled to it. I just keep hearing about peer reviews and when I cited some peer reviewsthat did not agree with your views you get upset. Has there been climate change in the past? My guess is yes and it will continue in the future and is inevitable. But as to whether it is the end of the world as we know it? I highly doubt that. check out this link: http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/......by-2015/ I don't know that it is even a bad thing for sure. Also it is not about to happen in the next 10 lifetimes and there is no telling that it will even happen. The scientific community and it's knowledge is always changing. Aids was supposed to wipe out the entire population of the world. It was the pandemic that was going to end mankind. Prepare for the end. We are still here and so is NYC. Just saying. The only guys making a lot on this are the ones that are researching and saying that the end is near because of Climate Change and the guys selling sandwich boards saying "Climate Change is ending the world. the end is near". Otherwise all is the same and you and I have not been affected in the least. I am not procrastinating I am being what can be deemed as logical. Calm down. The end is not near the beaches are not going disappearing, NYC is still there etc. You asked why I posted what I posted. The answer is that because I believe that there is not cause for alarm that the world is ending because of Climate Change and it is nothing more than what the earth has been going though for as long as it has been in existence and will continue to do so. Nothing drastic is about to occur. Sorry to disappoint the alarmists. However we will continue to spend billions of dollars so scientists can have something to write about and earn a living. I know if I was one of them I sure would not cast aside the gifted horse and say it is all baloney. You surely do not cut off your nose to spite your face. Again my opinion. YMMV.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

I believe I said “pollen and OTHER HARMFUL STUFF.”
Just so you know, the temperature usually drops a little right after a rain too. But you right, it doesn’t solve the problem of pollution. It will take more than rain to completely clean the air over every area in the world. Tom

Some people view pollen as an air pollutant.
But it is not the pollen that turns rain into ACID RAIN. Acid rain is rain that contains a high concentration of pollutants, mainly sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil. It's called ACID RAIN for a reason. Again, rain alone is not enough, but yes it does help. And that fresh air after a rain smells so good. Tom

Water has a pH about 7. That's ten to the minus seven molar concentration of hydrogen ions per liter of water. Scary.
The rain smell even has a name: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-na......3806085/ It's gonna be an interesting time getting goods and services to folks if everybody stops using gasoline all of the sudden.

OH MY GOD you are just clueless!
Acid rain sort of counters your point that the earth will be OK doesn't it? What exactly is your point Tom? What exactly are you saying? It is so hard to follow. So is pollen harmful to the environment or to people?

Danny, my point is that rain helping clean the air is not as ‘dumb’ as you say it is.
And let me add, much of this dirty rain water ends up in the rivers and streams where it flows downstream as it purifies itself, later it is sucked back up by the sun, and then it comes right back down again. It’s Mother Nature hard at work for us. Tom

Ron,
I can’t explain why we have earthquakes, floods, tornados, etc, besides it’s not nice to question Mother Nature. But seriously, I have no idea WHY it happens. As for as Nature taking care of us, FOR ME it does seem like there has been a lot of the dots already connected in order for us to live on this earth. We have different seasons for a reason. It rains for a reason. Plants grow in dirt for a reason. The wind blows for a reason. We have fresh water for a reason. We have insects for a reason. We have animals for a reason. We have night and day for a reason. And a million other things that we take for granted. Sure most of this can be explained as to how it is that way. But not everyone can see WHY it is that way. Sure sounds like a plan to me. But anyway, yes nature is hard at work helping us prevent climate change. See this link to see how Mother Earth's land and oceans currently absorb about half of all carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and other sources. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/12/how-mothe......nge.html Tom

The climate is changing. You do realize that it has been changing throughout the earth's existence but not necessarily because of what man is doing? Having said that it will continue to change no matter what man does or does not do. The climate changing is a natural thing and will continue. It however is not destroying all living things and is not the end of the world. It is nature doing what it does.
Question: How much has the USA contributed to this deal and how much have the other nations contributed? Do some research. This sounds like pseudo science: Emission Scenarios from NASA Scientists predict the range of likely temperature increase by running many possible future scenarios through climate models. Although some of the uncertainty in climate forecasts comes from imperfect knowledge of climate feedbacks, the most significant source of uncertainty in these predictions is that scientists don’t know what choices people will make to control greenhouse gas emissions. The higher estimates are made on the assumption that the entire world will continue using more and more fossil fuel per capita, a scenario scientists call “business-as-usual.” More modest estimates come from scenarios in which environmentally friendly technologies such as fuel cells, solar panels, and wind energy replace much of today’s fossil fuel combustion. It takes decades to centuries for Earth to fully react to increases in greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide, among other greenhouse gases, will remain in the atmosphere long after emissions are reduced, contributing to continuing warming. In addition, as Earth has warmed, much of the excess energy has gone into heating the upper layers of the ocean. Like a hot water bottle on a cold night, the heated ocean will continue warming the lower atmosphere well after greenhouse gases have stopped increasing. These considerations mean that people won’t immediately see the impact of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Even if greenhouse gas concentrations stabilized today, the planet would continue to warm by about 0.6°C over the next century because of greenhouses gases already in the atmosphere. Having said all of that we don't even know where most of our energy wil be coming from 10 years from now, much less 25 or more. Again the nation that will be harmed the most financially with all of this is the USA because of where we stand with our current manufacturing processes and our way of life. Again how much have other nations contributed and how much has the USA contributed? We are just supposed to cut back in our manufacturing and change our way of life and tax us more ... so that what? Others can sit back and catch up and ask for more? How long must we support the whole world as they just keep asking for more and more and give less and less? It just seems that this global warming has gone from "global warming" to "climate change" to who knows what next to do nothing more than stimulate growth in other nations while curtailing growth in the USA. Do some research not just on the end of the world scenarios and the flooding of cities that you read about. Read about the repercussions of what this Paris Accord is all about and how it affects the world economy. Stop being like mushrooms and living in the dark and being fed BS. Find out what is really behind all of this Global Warming and the World Economics that it entails. Honestly if I felt that this was a world crisis I would be the first inline to say, Let's do something. But don't let them pee on your leg and tell you it is raining out. Check out the facts and economic ramifications and stop being bullied into believing that we are going to drown in the next few years because all of the ice melted. Not going to happen any time in the foreseeable future. Might have some typos in this did not proof read. I am going to bed. It is late.

That infers some sort of conscious goal-oriented scheme. One can look at ANY system - no matter how chaotic or orderly - and say it's a "plan". But what does that really mean? By the way, there have been 5 great extinctions on the planet and more than 90% of all species that has ever lived are extinct. If that's a "plan", it doesn't sound like a very good one. What do you think it would be like if there were no "plan"? Do you think we would still see weather, natural disasters, extinct species, etc.? How would things be different under the "no plan" model?
