A simple experiment for the global warming skeptics. This experiment can be performed using household equipment.
Reagents & Equipment:
A 4 liter bottle with about 3 liter of water.
About a liter of dye in a plastic bag ( Pick a dark color)
A stand to hold the dye above the bottle.
A needle
Experiment:
Setup stand over the bottle of water, with the dye bad
Poke a tiny hole into the bag of dye
Let dye drip into bottle of water.
Observation:
Over a period of time(depending on volume of each drop) the water in the bottle takes up the color of the dye
Inference:
Dye makes water colorful
Well that was an analogy if u will. 50% of the global warming problems is from CO2 (crude dye example). As the amount of CO2(dye) increases in a finite environment it begins to affect that environment. Yes plants and algae take up CO2 and release O2. But as we dump more and more Co2 into the atmosphere and cut down billions of trees we are seriously disturbing the balance. There was no equivalent to the plants in the experiment, it was not necessary. The experiment was only to demonstrate a point and, I u can carry it out if you want. The pollutant cannot go anywhere and will affect the environment they are in.
Now, for those of you who say that this is a natural cycle of the earth to warm up a few degree every few 100,00 years, another experiment is necessary which is beyond my scope for now. But I will tell you this, even if this is a cycle that the earth is going through, do you people think that it is healthy to pollute. To not do anything about the CO2 and to continue using dirty energy as we do will only spell doom for the planet. The end date will be postponed but its possibility is still definite.
Let not delude ourselves anymore and believe what is easy to live with, but take the hard medicine to ensure the a healthy future for mother.
