Didnt think you were, was just saying what scientists say about water coverage which varies by source but generally it is estimated to have been covered by 97% give or take a couple percentage points.Jase4224 said:Solid7.. I never said you quoted the percentage of water on earth. The quote was copied from only126db's response.
And no I'm not interested in arguing either. In fact I agree with the rest of what you have to say.
only126db I apologise if my response seems to be putting you down that is not how I meant it.
Many claim air pollution is what is causing global warming and thus the planet to die but it is a natural occurrence, surely pollution attributes to a more rapid demise but I believe it is more the mass of bodies, heat generated by daily life and the destruction of living organisms on Earth that is causing the 'warming' more so than air pollution otherwise we would see larger and more localized examples of destruction.
Mans carelessness for the environment by mechanical means (deforestation etc) is likely more destructive than by air pollution, but they have to now account for the physical damage by limiting the damage done via air pollution to be able to keep up the mechanical destruction to vegetation and living organisms.
The EPA are pressing for more air pollution reg's than any other form of pollution mitigation, look at Obama's recent Clean Power Plan for power plants to reduce Carbon which they attribute as being the main contributor to 'global warming'.
"With strong but achievable standards for power plants, and customized goals for states to cut the carbon pollution that is driving climate change" <---- no mention of our deforestation, Obama talks about other countries but it's as if we dont shred our forests and everything is due to my 2 stroke engine or because my catalytic converter has x in it instead of y...I live with forests all around me and it makes me sick when I go to go fishing and the land is bare and torn up from logging...
Now I am no scientist so I can only comment on what I dont know....
