Cause of global warming: melting glaciers.25-04-2019 03:51
dehammer ★★★☆☆ (480)	Many people think that the rising temperatures are causing the glaciers to melt, and in a way they are, but not the way they think. Centuries ago, we entered the little ice age and for reasons that can be debated, the temperature fell. It cant be denied that it happened. There is evidence of it on all continents and in every ocean. The result was that when snow fell on mountains during the winter, it could not melt off as much during the summer and thus the glaciers advanced. Then the little ice age ended and the cause disappeared. The result is that the land around the ice heated up more during the summer and melted the ice faster than it could grow. As the ice melted, it warmed up by the sun to the temperature of the ocean. That's a large amount of energy per each ton of water, going from ice to ocean temperature. IF you were to compare the amount of ice melted multiplied by the energy difference, then compare that to the energy the earth needed to warm up in the time frame you are using to measure the ice, you would be surprised at the connections. I will let you find it. You will understand it better that way.

dehammer ★★★☆☆ (480)	Actually, it was part of my science classes in the 1970's. I don't blame you, they corrupted the science to stop actually teaching it years ago. "Perpetual motion is motion of bodies that continues indefinitely. A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work indefinitely without an energy source. " Wikipedia. You might have been taught that gravity is not a force of nature, i.e. energy, but it is a fact that it is.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Yeah, like mankind is all powerful. We created CO2, We created global warming, and we created the solution to global time travel... Truth is that there has always been CO2, the planet warms and cools, and nothing stays the same, and no going back. We didn't do nothing... Man needs to feel powerful, in control, but afraid to show any weakness. Pure fantasy to think we have the power to transform the world. When some people don't know things, they guess, or make something. Rather than admit they don't know, they lie. Those lies become obsession , since they grow and become difficult to keep feeding it.

We can totally influence the planet. I worry most about the genetic roulette Monsanto plays I don't know all of what Monsanto does, beside Round-Up, but that's what's in the news, even frequent TV solicitations for victims to join the lawsuit. Doubt the company is guilty of anything, accept being a profitable company, with an effective product. I've used Round-Up, since I was a teenager, still in great health, and didn't following any of the safety directions. I was always careful to not get the concentrate on me, and wash up after using it. A lot of stuff can be hazardous, if handle improperly, and you don't clean up. Many things we come in contact with daily, 'may' cause cancer, but few people actually do. Out of the millions of Round-Up users, there aren't that many claiming the settlement prize. Believe this one is more of a lawyer thing. Sort of guessing that one of the competitors funded the lawsuit as well, since I've yet to find a replacement, that works half as well. Bayer Brush Killer works okay, but need to apply two or three times. Scrub oak is very hard to kill, so not faulting the products, but Round-Up did the trick, with one spraying.

That's old news and they have plenty of company there. They alter the DNA of plants so they are "Round up" resitant as well as so there is no planting seed produced so farmers must buy it every year. Example of something they do: "DvSnf7 dsRNA is an unusual insecticide. You don't spray it on crops. Instead, you encode instructions for manufacturing it in the DNA of the crop itself. If a pesky western corn rootworm comes munching, the plant's self-made DvSnf7 dsRNA disrupts a critical rootworm gene and kills the pest. " So you can eat that, yum! Maybe it's OK? Maybe not. Monsanto will roll the dice for you. Plant DNA has been altered since we first began farming. That's nothing new. Potato plants used to be carnivorous. That was bred out them to get a larger potato. Now we are trying to breed that back into them and still keep the larger potato. Monsanto isn't even involved in that one!

Monsanto will roll the dice for you. Yeah GMO stuff has been around for a longtime, mostly kept hushed, because people are a little scared of things they don't understand. A lot of food crops have been modified to produce more, and stand up better to poor growing conditions (heat, cold, drought...). Sterilizing the plants, so they can't reproduce, has been a common practice as well. Spend a lot of time and money developing a superior product to sell, you don't people making their own, and sharing with family and friends.

Under the category of "Trying to Educate Marxists United in Solidarity Against Science" ... ... Gravity is not energy ... it is a force of nature. Gravity can be utilized to help convert energy from one form into another. I'll help you out: For something to be a source of energy it must be performing work. Gravity performs no work and therefore cannot be a source of energy. A dam, on the other hand, can utilize gravity to establish potential energy in water and to convert that potential into kinetic energy that performs work on the dam that converts that work into (generates) electrical energy. Without the work, the kinetic energy would not be converted to electrical energy. Gravity is not the energy. Gravity is the force of nature that drives the work. I don't think i can [define it].
