Do you think Global Warming is actaully happening?

Question

I do,

but what about you?

cuz there are alot of people who dont, like micheal savage, he was talking about it on his talk show, how theres no such thing, no proof, when me, i think theres alot of proof

Answer 1

I have no idea who MIchael Savage is, but he's absolutely correct in what he's saying.  Global warming is a myth aimed at manipulating and bending our way of thinking and our powers of observation.  There is nothing scientific about it, though some low-luster junk scientists have tried to make a big deal out of it for more funding.

Answer 2

Well I think it is happening, just not in the way that Al Gore describes it.

Answer 3

Nope.

Climate has wildly vacillated for billions of years and no doubt will for the next few billion until our sun evolves into a Red Dwarf, at which point no carbon offsets or recycling programs will save us

Answer 4

idk

Answer 5

Tell your talk show host to come on up to Northern Canada and look at our Arctic and glaciers. Melting faster then speeding bullet.

Answer 6

I totally believe it is happening.

Especially after watching "An Inconvenient Truth".

That movie really gets you aware of whats happening.

Answer 7

I don't believe in global warming. First of all, I live in Texas, and we have definitly had a colder winter. Second of all, we've only kept recored of temperatures for a little while now. We are inbetween an ice age, and we will most probably have one again in the future. I am not someone who is totally against the enviroment and all that, but I definitly do not think global warming is happening.  

Answer 8

Earth is warming, but whether it is warming at a faster rate currently due to man made activity is still a valid question.  Admittedly, I don't have the mathematical ability or the data necessary to answer it conclusively.  Neither do at least 99.9% of us, so let's be open minded about it.  Protecting the environment in ways we know are relevant is never a bad thing.  Don't you agree?  

Answer 9

It ia happening! All of the scientists cant be wrong.

Its all a big mess.

Answer 10

It was until about a decade ago.

Whether mankind caused the 20th century warming remains to be proven.  

Given that we keep doing what the alarmists insist was the cause of the warming, yet the respite from the warming continues, I would argue that our contribution is looking smaller and smaller with each passing month and year.

A very convenient truth is that Julian Simon was right and Paul Ehrlich was wrong.   People are the ultimate resource.   There is no such thing as overpopulation.

Answer 11

There is no doubt that the Earth is warming, and has been for the last 150 years or so.  From around 1850 to around 1940 the Earth warmed, it then cooled until the 1970's, and resumed a warming trend until present.  The doubt is not whether the Earth is warming up, but whether humans are the primary cause for the warming. Skeptics (like me) do not believe that human activities play a significant role in climate change while others believe that CO2 is a major driver of climate.  There is no proof either way, only evidence.  

Answer 12

ttly i just wonder if we can fix it :(

hope u like my answer:D

Answer 13

well, here's a different point of view on the matter. Smog, especially in heavily populated areas, is creating a layer around the earth.

the heat actually has difficulty getting through this layer of heavy smog, so they almost cancel each other out...

Answer 14

There is currently no evidence that man has made any significant contribution to climate change.

Some interesting facts.

1. During most of the past 2,000 years, the temp has been about the same or higher. Currently, we are barely over the average for the last 2,000 years.

2. During the medieval warm period (820 – 1040 AD), Greenland supported farming. Those areas previously farmed are now covered in glaciers. Obviously the melting and reformation of glaciers is a cyclical occurrence.

3. The earth experienced a little ice age which ended around the late 1860's or so. This is about the time man started recording temperatures. This would be like measuring a lake depth after a severe drought, then worrying about it flooding as it rose to normal levels.

4. The earth has been warming for the last 18,000 years, since the last major glacier time period. During this time frame, the glaciers have been melting at a fairly consistent rate. Also, for most of the last 1 billion years, the earth had NO glaciers or ice coverage.

5. The AGW theory states that CO2 is the primary driver of temperature. They arrived at this idea because they did not know of anything else which could cause it. But during the 70's and during the current decade, temperatures dropped while CO2 continued to rise. This means that natural occurrences are driving temp, not CO2.

6. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation and sun spots provides a much better correlation to earths' temperature than CO2 levels ever have.

7. Polar Bears are experiencing a population boom. Coke sales in the arctics are through the roof. Polar Bears have been around for thousands of years, and remember, we are only at the average for the last 2,000 years. They lived through all the previously warmer climates. The original picture of 2 bears on a floating ice block was a complete scam. The photographer explained that the bears were in no danger and close to shore. The picture was lifted from a public PC by another passenger and sent around the world.

8. Many glaciers are expanding. Even Antarctica is growing on 98% of is land mass. Only 2% is melting.

9. There is no consensus on AGW. This was a lie that has been propagated by the media.

10. Yes we emit CO2 into the atmosphere and it is a greenhouse gas, but, we only contribute about .28% of all the greenhouse effect. Water vapor makes up about 95% of the greenhouse effect. CO2 and other trace gases round out the greenhouse gases at about 5% for all of them. Of that 5%, only 3% is CO2, and most of that is natural. Again, our contribution to the greenhouse effect is a paltry .28%

11. The spread of disease is not attributed mainly to temperature. If this were the case, Florida would be a giant festering disease ridden cesspool. Economic standing is the primary determining factor in the spread of disease. Poor cultures can not fight the disease or eradicate the pests like more successful nations.

12. Natural climate disasters (hurricanes, cyclones, etc) have never been scientifically linked to global warming (whether natural or man made).

Answer 15

Michael Savage is best common sense man on this planet.Just listen-to him.What is better? g*y marriage-or traditional family, socialism -or capitalism, libro agenda-or hard working people, who don't want food stamps.

What is proof for global warming?- communist, Putin,Soros sponsored Al Gore antiamerican propaganda..it is multidollars buissness

Answer 16

American prosperity is not causing the world to "have a fever".  That is just political nonsense.  There is no significant harmful warming caused by humans.  There is very little chance, IMO, that there will be harmful warming caused by humans.  

Answer 17

I do indeed believe global warming is true. its like asking "do you believe in god?" only its not a religious topic or subject its totally different. those people who don't want to believe it still may possibly  subcountiously know that its real. but naybe those people who don't want to beeliev it may have bigger problems on their hands that they believe should come first. though I still believe global warming should be our first priority we are not always in control of what comes first. but if you have the slightest idea that Global warming is real ... try to save the planet. do some recycling and though it may seem much do something other than focusing on the stupid computer all day. do something active. give a hand and prey to god G.B. won't get really bad.

D.

P.S. I got a pocket pc which is awesome if you only use your computer for email and some messanging and latest news ands it earth friendly . . . though it does charge on electricity it doest eat it much at all.

Answer 18

There is no real debate on this topic.  Global warming has been documented.

The debate is not about its existence, but its cause.  Al Gore says that the inconvenient truth is that we are creating too many carbon emissions.

I believe that the even more inconvenient truth is because we are growing too quickly.  We need to stop having babies.

Answer 19

What gets me on so many of the comments made so far is the huge amount of very bad information so many people seem to have on this subject. First it was hotter in the 1930s than it is now and there is no current sign it is going to get even close to previous optimums during the current interglacial. Because solar cycles can vary from 11 years to 50 years we can have huge normal climate shifts when several solar and earth cycles come together inconveniently. Point being the little ice age where there were 4 solar minimums, two of them extreme over a period of 500 years that led to a much colder than average climate through that period.

Then we have the Skandic/MWP warm cycle where for over 600 years it was a much warmer climate average noticeably higher than the two short peaks we have experienced during the current warming cycle. These two peaks lasted only about 10 years instead of the normal 50 or more! So all climates need to be evaluated not just against recent 30-year spans, but also against previous spans. For instance for the last two years here in Los Angeles they have had to go back to the 1920s to find equivalent low temperature records. In the 90s they had to go back to the 30s to find equivalent highs.

So the 30 year cycle is not a good comparison point for climate average and because of earthquakes and other geological events natural climate conditions can change radically. An example is the enhanced southwest monsoon in the spring and summer months has radically changed the general climate of southern California over the last 60 years from dry near desert to muggy sub tropical because of geologic changes in a ocean ridge extending from Baja California almost to Panama off the west coast. This ridge as it grows from earthquake activity and coral reef growth is altering some minor ocean currents altering the climate of large parts of North America!
