Flat Earth and Global Warming (2016)

#0266 My Japanese Spitz — walking with a fisheye action cam to the bottom of the exposed dry lake bed, 7m lower than normal ground water level – climate change hoax? Out of the Skies, Under the Earth – Chris Zabriskie | Earth Not a Globe — Where’s the curvature? A lot of flat-earthers attempt to disprove the globe model by using pictures taken from high above the earth with a flat horizon, thereby “proving” that the Earth is flat: After all, if the earth is round you should see the curvature of the Earth. In actuality, no matter where you are and how high you are on the surface of the Earth, the horizon does indeed look like a flat line no matter where you look: A curvature should appear if the Earth were cylindrical instead. Indeed, the fact that there even is a horizon to begin with should prove the Earth to be round by itself, since if the Earth were truly flat, then a sufficiently advanced telescope ought to be able to see all the way to the edge of the earth. But don’t get started on that track in a debate, otherwise you’re going to spend your whole afternoon talking about perspective, light refracting from air, the parallax effect, mirages or GoPro cameras, or how even something as basic as a video of a ship disappearing bottom-first beneath the horizon is supposedly faked.
