then again, one could argue that the wind is a consequence of the Earth's rotation (and result of the temperature gradient and differences caused by its movement on its axis and around the Sun combined) :o

but I won't go there, the information is there to research on your own

Have a nice day :spyder:

Amen to that, brother.

Look at your wall.
Are your pictures and paintings tilted to the right?
If so, you are in the northern hemisphere.
The counterclockwise rotation of hurricanes and whirlpools,
clockwise, in the southern hemisphere is caused by the Coriolis effect.
Simple everyday proof that the earth is a sphere that rotates about its axis.

And that is why that last coyote I shot at was able to elude me.
I did not take into consideration the Coriolis Effect.
That's my story and I'm going to stick with it.

I seriously doubt it.

I for one think this whole Climate Change/Global Warming thing is hogwash.

I also know that the Earth isn't flat.

Well I think we've seen that you can program a human biocomputer to believe anything, and that's just a step away from making them do anything.

Aint that the truth. Now look where & when that programming started.

All I can say for certain is that, while I believe "man made global warming" is BS, I also believe that the earth is round, that it is not the center of the universe, and that its climate is changing, just as it has done many times before in the billions of years the earth existed before man evolved and the hundreds of thousands of years since.

Exactly.

There have been climate shifts throughout the history of the Planet and there will continue to be for a very long time to come.

The delusion of man made climate change is so ludicrous that it's become a joke.

Quantification of the impact of human activity on the overall ebb and flow of climate change may be problematic, however of one thing I am certain.

The world population has tripled during my short life span of 70 years. Human activity has caused great change in the world we live in. Today may be about the same as yesterday. Next month may be about the same as last month. This year may feel about the same as last year. But 50 years ago, the world and this country was different than it is today. 50 years from now, it will be far different than it is today.

Friends, the environment is changing for the worse. Essential resources, such as water, are disappearing. Noise pollution, light pollution and waste pollution are becoming greater. Natural beauty is slowly eroding. In my opinion, there is a limit to the population that this planet can support with a good quality of life.

One year ago in this thread I stated, and still believe, that zero population growth is the fastest, cheapest, and most effective way to correct the arc of our destiny.
