  1. It is a growth industry that is built on consensus science like the flat Earth, eugenics, alchemy, witchcraft and magic, and debtors prisons as a social control. Global warming is today's consensus. Non-believers are skeptics or evil. All weather is a sign global warming is real, so we have to depend on you higher ups to let us know if it's over, or even if it hit high gear. We could spend centuries on this, given these circumstances, and we wouldn't ever know if we weren't flushing our money away forever. But the consensus is that we are going to pay and pay dearly.


  2. Sounds like a good homework assignment.  If you'd like to do it yourself and not plagiarize others' work and misrepreent it as your own, here's a site that explains in detail the progression in scientific understanding on the topic:

  3. Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.

    Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

    It won't be a Hollywood movie style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

    Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

    Really good website for more information here:

    Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

    Proof that most scientists think it's real and mostly caused by us here:

  4. Cow farts and rotting tundra-weeds make methane.

    Burning coal and gasoline makes carbon dioxide.

    Dentists make nitrus oxide.

    Global "warming" (which may really be just a wind-up to an ice-age) is made by the planet wobbling and confluence of other things including meteorites and volcanoes.

    There's ample geological and fossil evidence that it's happened before people were even around - and it's likely to happen again.

    The whole idea of a "stable" climate is silly. Ask any paleontologist - and then go find some petrified "coastal redwoods" in the middle of the northern Nevada desert, for example.

    Not that so-called "green-house gases" don't have an effect, but quantifying that effect is the question - and "reversing" the inertia of a climate swing that's already in motion - that's also silly.

    Hang on - we're in for a ride...

  5. The Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the Sun (orbital forcing), volcanic eruptions,and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. Some other hypotheses departing from the consensus view have been suggested to explain the temperature increase. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity

    None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.[

  6. These gases are emitted due to burning coal mineral oils and wood. Mineral Oils are used for industrial heating operations and emit the largest quantity of Carbon Dioxide Nitrous Oxide. Methane is producted by fermentation of organic materials, starches and even in cow dung Gas and similar plant-oerations for domestic/industrial uses. Industrial processes, burnig also produce Nitrous and Carbon Dioxide, which combines with water from raining clouds to produce aid-rain

    Such questions are asked in a school project. This info is not meant for copying for it. It is expected that students should learn to search and find out toprepare a paragraph.

    All three causes affect the Ozone gas layer at the top of earth's atmosphere, making the ultra violet rays to penetrate the atmosphere and cause a lot of distruction of the population starting from viruses, bacteria to humans.

    Loss of Ozone can create increased tempratures of atmosphere resulting, in draughts in some and heavy rains, floods in the ther other areas, causing massive distruction of life and property..

    The remedy is use of Hydrolic power, Safe nuclear energy plants, Effective use of Natural sources of energy like Solar and wind power, filtering gases to eliminate Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide and neutralising Nitrous Oxide, are some of the remidies to reduce gases causing global warming. The inudstiral and inter national cooperation is a must to bring normalcy in the froeseeable future, else the present young generation and the future generation would suffer enormously.

  7. Global warming is a naturally occurring event. It is a cycle of the Earth just like summer. It has occurred many times before and will occur many more times. Just look at the history of the Earth. There have been ice ages and warm periods where the oceans have risen to much higher levels than now.
