The biggest worry with global warming is the melting of the polar ice caps and glaciers which is causing large amounts of freshwater to be introduced into the ocean changing it's salinity and thus effecting it's density gradient. This article explains it better than I can:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-talk-getting-fresh/ <br /><br />Our effect on the warming if the earth (which is causing the melting) due to co2, and other greenhouse gas emissions is a little more direct. Pretty sure they taught us about it in elementary school. <br /><br />While the exact amount that humans are effecting the current change our climate is going through can not be determined, it's pretty clear we've had a pretty significant impact. Man made or not we are undergoing a significant change in our climate. <br /><br />More important than climate change however we should be worried about the direct effects of pollution on our food and water supplies. Easy examples being fracking making various cities water supplies become unusable (and sometimes flammable) and industrial pesticides killing off the bee population which effects the pollination of crops and thus directly effects our ability to produce food. <br /><br />While reducing your carbon footprint may not have a huge impact, if 60% of the country does it, it will. The more important factor by far is of course the impact of industrial practices that need to change. <br /><br />It's irresponsible to pretend that what humans do isn't directly impacting our environment. L.A. had to face that fact and make changes when they couldn't even breathe the air. Hopefully we can make necessary changes before anything that drastic happens again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335800967859463761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-53056648084539943972015-06-13T15:02:04.244-05:002015-06-13T15:02:04.244-05:00what is the driver of the ocean currents?what is the driver of the ocean currents?scrimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903067179012967232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-71989550591945445012015-06-11T06:11:17.384-05:002015-06-11T06:11:17.384-05:00Amen Bob!!Amen Bob!!Deacon Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307716334267839976noreply@blogger.com
