PLAYLIST: www.youtube.com Gulf oil catastrophe Global Warming Date: 07-23-10 Host: Art Bell Guests: Peter Ward ctc cu=cosmicpreachers www.coasttocoastam.com Filling in for George, Art Bell was joined by Professor Peter Ward for a 4-hour discussion on how the Gulf oil catastrophe ties in with climate change. Ward believes BP significantly underestimated the amount of oil that was released from their deep sea well, and worries about the environmental impact of not only the spill but the cleanup efforts also. Chemical dispersants, which have helped break apart the surface oil, are potentially destructive to the cell walls of microorganisms at the base of the marine food chain, he explained. The heavier part of the oil spreading across the sea floor will eventually break down into poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas, Ward continued. Massive quantities of methane, also a byproduct of the leaked oil, will ultimately end up in the atmosphere where it will contribute to increased temperatures across the planet, he added. Ward said he considers the global warming debate settled — greenhouse gases are making Earth hotter. Evidence in the geological record indicates that during epochs of high carbon dioxide levels (1000 ppm), temperatures were high enough to completely melt the continental ice sheets. As the planet’s current average CO2 level approaches 400ppm, Ward theorized what would happen if all of the ice on Greenland melted. According to this disaster scenario, the sea levels …
News and comments on global climate change, global warming and greenhouse effect
Would be nice to have this guy back on the air!!! Maybe he and george coud be Co-HOSTS!??
i love art bell for giving or creating coast to coast as what it is BUT I totally tune out when he starts getting into his views of global warming ….only thing i cant appreciate of him
What a bunch of nonsense. I am completely amazed at this. Any person who paid any attention in high school (never mind any college or university studies) knows the shit he spits is just that… shit!!!
I’m am completely amazed at “someguycalledshel’s” comment. Buddy, This college graduate has been listening to Art Bell for over 10 years. While I don’t agree with everything Art say’s and sometimes he get’s pretty out there, he’s still a Legend of the “AM Talk Radio Waves” and your an absolute idiot for not knowing who the fuck your talking about. The only nonsense is here is your freakin comment!
peter ward really made coast to coast look like a bunch of bought & paid for news!! no body including c2c am is ever gonna make anybody believe that global warming is cuz by humans!!! its N A T U R A L–and nobody is gonna change that–so this program did nothing but piss me off–thanks art bell now you’re on the same list with all the rest of the traitors–leave the important issues to george noory please
mebluewolf2 your a stubborn piece of shit. Watch some documentaries and statistics on what has been happening of the past few decades with the rise of fossil fuel burning. Go ahead pick up a book, take some time and look into the subject more on both sides than arguing the fact its natural based on an uneducated opinion. Even if its not man made and it is natural, what harm does it do to try to change and get us away from our disgusting forms of energy and turn us into a sustainable society.
