Bio-fuels are one of the answers to ease our contribution to the natural warming. We have not had a iceless polar cap in 800,000 years. Since 1979 the amount of meltage is huge. Most scientists agree there will be no ice at the north pole by 2050. Does anyone actually think, or have any proof, for that matter, that we are not contributing? We are. | Even if we are or are not contributing...the polar ice caps will still melt. If someone can determine the difference between us contributing to the warming trend and the melting of the caps; as well as a world without us burning fossil fules and the melting of the caps..then there might be an argument.
If we all stop burning fossil fuels...doesn't mean those caps are not going to melt. At how much of a slower rate will those caps melt with us not burning fossil fuels? |
