I do agree to a point; but the heat from the suns rays do strike the earth 24/7 as the earth does rotate, and winds do blow hot air as well. I'm just really curious if the scientist are correct with the pollution aspect, my understanding is the pollution isn't going away and is actually increasing.
Yes, the sun is hitting the Earth 24/7, but due to how the Earth rotates the loss of heat will be greater in areas that are not facing direct sun light.
Planet earth will take care of itself though the earth doesn't care about people living on it. Will cause havoc where it needs to.
Not uniformly across the planet or across time.
If you're referring to greenhouse gasses, yes they are increasing.
But I think earth has always been in a state of flux. Ice age, dust bowl, deserts expanding, flooding. We use earth, but I don't think we're the problem, like some people do.
It took thousands of years for the world's population to reach 1 billion. Now we're adding 1 billion people every decade. We are definitely hurting the planet. I can only hope that the Second Coming is not far off.
That travels ,not the sand like that to Florida and parts of the south east and causes respiratory issues and storms .

For one thing, only part of the Earth gets direct sunlight at any particular time. This is why we have winters and summers. When the northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, we have warm summer. When it tilts away, it cools and we have winter. The poles never get direct sunlight and so they stay cold. Winds, clouds, and proximity to large bodies of water affect temperature as well. Water has a higher specific heat than rock, so the ocean warms nearby land in winter and cools it in summer. Land in the center of a continent will have greater variations in temperature.
Precisely. Floating ice doesn't affect water levels at all when it melts. This is why the melting of the Arctic ocean pack ice won't raise sea levels. Melting of continental glaciers, and ice shelves in Antarctica will cause sea levels to rise.
If you were a bit less hysterical, you might be more believable. We're not all going to die. But life is going to be harder for a lot of people (and better for a few people, as in Northern Africa).
That's interesting because it seems to me that Europe is not even replacing the current population because everyone is having only one child or no children.

Such as "brainless, rhetorically-slippery, panic-stoking, trust-our-experts propaganda."
There is the Ukraine problem. The world depends on them to a large degree. So prices for wheat rise.
If the U.S. didn't have immigration, we would be losing population. However, immigration is enough to slightly increase U.S. population so far.
I only said that the world's population was going up by about a billion per decade. The population of the world was 7.1 billion in 2011, but it went up to 8.1 by 2023. It was 6.1 billion in 1999. So, the population has recently been going up by about a billion every 12 years.
Right.
