Explain how burning gasoline in L.A. is making the planet Pluto hotter.



How exactly do you jump to that conclusion from what I wrote? I was
saying that the combustion of fossil fuels in a highly populated area
like L.A. was enough to have a major impact on the environment. It
basically ruined the air quality. I used to live there. I'm saying
that if man can negatively affect the quality of the air in a local
area like L.A. why is it a big jump to think man can do the same thing
on a planet wide scale? Or why can't man increase the temperature of
the planet if he burns enough fossil fuel? Not only do I think we can
do that I think we did do it. Lots of climate scientists say we did
too. I'll believe them over what a coal company says any day of the
week. The question is why would you believe a coal or an oil company
when they tell you global warming is not caused by using their products?

Ok, then explain how burning oil, coal, or gasoline anywhere on Earth,
not just locally in L.A., is making the planet Pluto hotter.

We're talking about earth here, dingbat, not Pluto. Are a lot of cattle
farting tons of methane into the atmosphere on Pluto? Oh, I guess not
Pluto doesn't have an atmosphere. Are Pluto's inhabitants burning a lot
of coal there? There is no correlation between Pluto and earth, which
even you should know.

I just saw a program yesterday called extreme ice. It was about
scientists studying ice all over the world. Glaciers and ice sheets are
melting at a rapid rate. Columbia glacier in Alaska is melting like mad.
Evidence of the increased rate of glaciers melting into the oceans is
unequivocal. Evidence from the warming in the Arctic and in Greenland's
ice sheets shows them melting rapidly. Much faster than expected from
the past. Evidence from ice from 400,000 years ago shows Co2 levels to
be much higher than any time from that period until now. The evidence
just keeps mounting that global warming is a fact. But if you don't know
the facts you might think otherwise. You obviously are not acquainted
with the facts. Not a surprise to me.
