Global warming poll

[Paul]

Is Global warming an act of faith or are those who ignore it just being selfish in refusing to admit that what they do hurts the rest of the world?

The proverbial horses mouth.

so i was reading this artical today about a two mile long ice plug that was drilled out of dome C in antarctica. this was done to see the amounts of methane and carbon monoxide as far back as they could get in time. the previous ice plug that was taken in russia was 450,000 years old and the oldest to date. this one was 650,000 years old. it revealed that carbon monoxide is 27% higher and methane levels are 112% higher then 650,000 years ago. they also said that these are the highest levels seen probably in over millions of years. i guess you could say that this is real eh?

The Australian Patrol ship ?Ocean Vikings? have detected several ships that are fishing unregulated under various names and flags in protected waters, thus threatening the already fragile ecosystem. Link: BYM News

Hello koldK! I'm new and would like to thank you for sharing the article. I'm from San Francisco. The West Coast coastal birds and marine life certainly had a bad year, hopefully, it will be better this year.

Would you please tell me where dome C is in the Antarctica? Also, what type of machinery is used and how it removes a two mile long ice plug. I would like to know more about carbon monoxide and methane it seems they are not at all good for the environment. Take it easy on me I'm new to all this I do find it interesting and would like very much to understand as much as I can with some help. Thank you.
