Signs of incresed energy on the Earth

People's ignorance is something to behold.

i agree.
how did al gore make his millions? it certainly wasn't from working.

Fake news. Al Gore's money is not causing Global Warming. Burning fossil fuels is the problem. Your shooting the messenger

i've got a different view on global warming. it has to be caused from something outside our atmosphere. the few meteors that make it in, can't bring enough matter to change much here. all the carbon has been in our atmosphere since the beginning. it seems to me our atmosphere is a closed environment with a finite set of elements. if we release some of them by burning, the elements just change to some other combination of elements for a while. all of the oil and gas we're using was created by something made of carbon in some other form. so there is more carbon dioxide in the air. if you prius drivers would worry about stopping them from cutting down jungles and forests instead of my classic car, carbon dioxide levels would balance out. global warming is caused by the sun. nothing we can do is powerful enough to cause it.

"Scientists say rising global temperatures are likely to increase the intensity and impact of major storms. Last year was the Earth's warmest year on record for the third year in a row, NOAA reported."

Above or the very top comment has some good ideas. The trouble is that when CO2 or Carbon and Oxygen are buried under the ocean and the earth it's not trapping the solar energy. Normally solar energy enters our atmosphere and then radiates back out again. But the increased levels of CO2 Gas in the atmosphere is trapping the sun's energy and keeping it from radiating back out into space. Burning the forests and burning fossil fuels is releasing the Carbon that was tied up in the ground or trees and putting more of it into the atmosphere in the form of CO2 gas.
