8/31 Suppose the ice-age instead of global warming is occuring. Would
the scientists start to suggest everyone to consume as much as
possible, and suggest people to drive SUVs and use as much energy
as possible as a method of saving earth?
\_ Global warming & ice age may be one and the same thing. Bad
troll, no troll snack. -John
\_ So the earth heating up causes it to cool down?
\_ the earth heating up causes *some places* to cool down.
Climate is a chaotic system. -tom
\_ Chaotic, meaning unpredictable?
\_ No, as in chaos theory, I assume. Look up the
various oceanic conveyors. -John
\_ So fluid dynamics is a solved problem?
\_ Do you have a point?
\_ Absolutely. "GW & ice age may be one and the
same thing" is not at all the same as "the
earth heating up causes *some places* to
cool down". The second statement may be
true. The first statement is ridiculous. It
is the first statement I was replying to, the
second statement, although possibly true, has
nothing to do with the thread. What was your
point?
\_ My statement would have been ridiculous if
you had said "global ice age." Nice try.
And you did catch "may", right? -John
\_ No. They would still suggest people to cut back energy usage on
driving, and spend the energy on heating homes and greenhouses. |
