Earth at night

Earth at night | Right here is a little note that says, "Image enhanced for clarity." That's just NASA-speak for "Image distorted for deception."; It's on every NASA poster of earth. | image tagged in earth at night | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Moldy Plum

Moldy Plum | A COMMON SENTIMENT AMONG MAN-MADE CLIMATE-CHANGE DENIERS IS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "MAN'S TOO SMALL TO HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE EARTH"; AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HOLDING THAT VIEWPOINT -WE'RE MINISCULE RELATIVE TO THE PLANET... BUT THIS IS WHAT 7+ BILLION OF US LOOKS LIKE. WHAT WE LACK IN STATURE WE MAKE UP FOR IN NUMBER AND THE EARTH ISN'T REALLY THAT BIG A FISHBOWL. | image tagged in earth at night,climate change,global warming | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Still having trouble wrapping your head around man made/human influenced global warming? Here's some facts to help you out.

Still having trouble wrapping your head around man made/human influenced global warming? Here's some facts to help you out. | The Earth's diameter is roughly 8000 miles, the troposphere (AKA survivable layer where the bulk of the atmosphere is located) is roughly 5-9 miles in thickness --for our purposes, let's high-side it and go with 9 miles. If we take the radius value, assume a scale of 1/16":1 mile that comes out to 9/16" representational troposphere thickness and, starting at the earth/air boundary, puts the Earth's geometric center roughly 20'10" away. IMAGE DEMONSTRATING SPREAD, REACH OF HUMANITY. If the raw numbers are too abstract, get out a tape measure and lay out the distances. Now consider the illustration of humanity's spread and the fact that Earth's atmosphere is a finite quantity. | image tagged in blank text bar,earth at night,climate change,global warming | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
