I stay home now and I hate that we are all consumers of everything petro-toxic. We will leave nothing for our great grandchildren but the skeleton of a once amazing planet...
beautiful shot. the earth has been through a lot more than a sudden warming phase... i'm sure it will be around far longer than we can imagine. it amazes me the words that you liberals invent... "petro- toxic"???? wtf? you probably should stay home so you don't hurt yourself.
Its also flabbergasting the dumb-ass ideas morons like you hang on to such as, "Oh it'll still be around for a while i bet." You really believe that if people don't stop bending over the earth and fuckin' it in the ass with pollution and givin' it a donkey punch in the back of the head before you're done that, "everything'll be okay in awhile."???? You're right, lets just keep pretending nothing's wrong. Because I'm sure that tsunami, Katrina, and Ike were just gonna happen back to back like that anyway.
The Earth will be fine...it has been tremendously hotter, as well as tremendously colder....
Now will it be ideal for the current population of inhabitants....probably not.
but be assured the earth will be fine...it has endured much much more than the human race....we are only very minor short term tenants, in terms of the earths history.
The earth will survive the virus of humanity... the question is, can we survive ourselves? I can only hope that all the idiots like "seth" die off first when the climate becomes too harsh.
The world HAS been through much more, but there is reputable proof that the changes going on (warming, extinction rates, hurricanes as stated before) are happening at an alarming rate. That being said though, this picture really is incredible.
Hah!..the earth survived a object the size of mars smacking into it. I think the earth will be fine for quite some time. Nothing we can do can kill the earth, so lets stop pretending for a while that we are so powerful. Nothing we do to the earth will make an impact on the world 1000's of years after we are gone.
I love how people point to the fact that the Earth still "existing" and still in the same shape and general makeup it has now means that we aren't powerful enough to cause a problem.
Sure we aren't going to blow a hole in the side of the earth, but if we heat it up to a degree where food crops don't prosper and hundreds of millions die of starvation. Or if flooding displaces millions of people around the world that's certainly a huge impact.
Stating that worse things can happen to the earth doesn't give you a justification for doing dangerous things now.
Anyone who makes statements like that is incredibly ignorant of those they are trying to discredit. No real environmentalist who is ACTUALLY educated would say we can destroy the earth. But they say we can make certainly less hospitable for ourselves.
i think we all agree that the biosphere (incl. the atmosphere) is getting a hammering from our insanely stupid, myopic actions (not ignorant actions as no one can claim to be ignorant at this point, not selfish actions as it's consciously hurting us the most) and that the planet will find an equilibrium when we're extinct...
the question is do we give a shit? does it matter? is it just the guilt of handing on an ecologically less divserse and less resilient system to the next lot of myopic and unwise homo sapiens (ironically 'sapien' means 'wise'!).
reckon the best thing that could (will) happen is an nice smack of the next asteroid to reset the system naturally and wipe away all the guilt!
One of the most insane things to believe - is that - everything is just peachy . The whole sphere of our planet is in dire need of a great deal of help! I don't count on that happening in my lifetime, as , I believe that we have already crossed the tiping point some twenty-five or thirty years ago. I just think that it is incrediably sad!!!
I like the picture but wish I never started reading the comments below; People calling one another retards, talking about fucking the earth in the ass and even wishing death on another... give me a break.
The human race, at least now, is very aware at our destructive capabilities and it is now big business's and our government leaders who must act in the best interest of our planet. Going green can save billions upon billions of dollars for corporations and the alternate energy is a industry that will harbor thousands if not millions of jobs -- I think we are rounding a corner.
well we as a race have only about 1% on the earth in terms of the atmosphere becouses if u look on the web the sun worms up the earth when it releses one soler flarthen we could ever do in a life times
Remember one thing though. It does'nt matter how Bad things go. The worst thing that could happen is a mass extinction of all life in middle world. Then when the humans and everything living today is dead. And give or take a few thousand years. Life will rise anew with an even more spectecular veriaty. Nothing we humans have created can eradicate all bacteria on the planet.
CO2 is a life giving gas and has not contributed in any way to the change happening in our atmosphere. Look at HARRP, weather modification has been going on since the 50's. Plants need CO2 to breathe so we can breathe. This CO2 nonsense is a cover for the real pollution that the military industrial complex and the major corporations of the world have been doing for over 60 years. We are being systematically taught that our own lungs are the polluters of this planet therefore we should be wiped out. Poppycock!!!
do reaserch or listen in class co2 is the least of the problems. co2 dosent eat the ozone. the morel is to just try and help your planet. walk more look into your world and yourselves. if you want religion god said we are stewerds of this planet,"he" left it in our care and we have done a shitty job especaly by those who claim to be chrishtians i feal. we also need to stop saying wind power is a good option, it kills birds and bats increasing the bug population, and changes the atmospheric flow acrose the surface. what we really nead around the world is chinas safer nuculer reactors and mayby tide generators. learn think and be open
Seth, you are undoubtedly correct that earth is going to be around far longer than we can imagine.
But that is not the point.
The point is whether or not we are going to leave a planet that our grandchildren will find livable, or not.
In the grand scheme of the cosmos, and even our earth, our species is about as significant as a speck of fly s&#t. The earth, and nature, are pretty much indifferent to our continued existence. That doesn't mean that we have to share that same indifference, tho.
im no scientist but there have been 4 times when co2 is high. there has been 4 magor extinctions. make the connection, the co2 rises some big common species(dinosaurs, possible us) then the co2 goes down its earth way of handling itself

Nice, and thanks.

quite beautiful, indeed~
However, I think I'm more shocked at anyone who would consider coinage a "liberal" movement... methinks he hath spent much time in said home~

the earth WILL be here.
WE wont.

hey, that's a nice image.. have searched nasaimages.org but no sign of it... can you let us know where it can be downloaded? thanks ;]
Well, I'm sure the Earth with survive just fine. However, we won't survive much longer at this rate.

The Earth has been through a lot worse than us and will be around for a long time.
All we'll ultimately do is kill ourselves and once that happens it'll fix itself.
The big blue ball will still be here. We won't.

Hope our atmotsphere will be brighter and fresh like my home town Baturaden
