Of all the reasons for a changing climate, mans influence is way down the list of negative effects. First you must control the activity of the sun, then the natrual rhythums of el nina and el nino among others must be controlled. Man is foolish to think humans have the power to superceed such natural influenes. More foolish are the paople who allow themselves to be manipulated by politicans trying to create a crisis so they can sell their lies by causing fear and insecurities. Wise up!! Man has always had to adjust to the earth not the other way around.

start looking in to what drives the climate and it will make sense.
here is a start on the cycles of the sun http://www.landscheidt.info if we use this info we can plant the correct things for what the weather will be, I have not had a crop fail yet by using that info. |

It's thought by some that gaseous emissions from termites create more "greenhouse gas" than human activity does.

How do Human Activities Contribute to Climate Change and How do They Compare with Natural Influences? ![]() Your premise is woefully ill-informed and wrong. The real question at this time would be where you received that misinformation and why it was accepted so uncritically. Last edited by roberte; May 9th, 2012 at 07:16 PM.. |
