Do you think global warming exists?

Question

or is it another scam to get money out of us?

Answer 1

I think it exists.  Right now, it's a theory.

Answer 2

Im going to something else. You Libs are boring me.

Answer 3

of course it exists!

Answer 4

It's a scam.

Answer 5

Yes it exists.

Answer 6

I think it is a SCAM to raise the price of food, and fuel. All those people that believe in it are brainwashed by Al Gore and the Government. I don't understand how people can believe this garbage when there is scientific evidence disproving it.

Answer 7

Thats an incredibly stupid question - of course it exists!

Answer 8

You have it exactly right, global warming exists, but so does global cooling.  If our era of people existed during a time near an ice age, then liberal-type people would have blamed everyone else and called it "Global Cooling"

if you want an exaple of global warming in the past, look at the tiem when dionsaurs lived.

Answer 9

yes it does exists...down in the pacific an island around the fijian group is now flooded with sea water because sea level's been rising rather fast and season changes rather too slow or too fast...and it's no scam either. if we truly care about our earth we would have to use bio products to save it!

Answer 10

Well, I never thought of that,

but i do believe it exist.

Because, this winter was hotter than the last.

How is it a scam though?

Answer 11

no its a ruse concocted by world governments to distract us from the real issues and fundamentals of life,there are bigger issues out there,governments,Greenpeace,environment... etc etc ...all these people are way above themselves to think they are god to make any slight difference

Answer 12

No it's the earth which has changed it's Axe's or how ever you spell it. I heard this about 4-5 years ago and they said that warm regions will cool and cold regions will warm.

Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...

ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2007) — The decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record, according to data sources obtained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The global mean surface temperature for 2007 is currently estimated at 0.41°C/0.74°F above the 1961-1990 annual average of 14.00°C/57.20°F...

...Since the start of the 20th century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74°C. But this rise has not been continuous. The linear warming trend over the last 50 years (0.13°C per decade) is nearly twice that for the last 100 years...

...2007 global temperatures have been averaged separately for both hemispheres. Surface temperatures for the northern hemisphere are likely to be the second warmest on record, at 0.63°C above the 30-year mean (1961-90) of 14.6°C/58.3°F. The southern hemisphere temperature is 0.20°C higher than the 30-year average of 13.4°C/56.1°F, making it the ninth warmest in the instrumental record since 1850.

January 2007 was the warmest January in the global average temperature record at 12.7°C/54.9°F, compared to the 1961-1990 January long-term average of 12.1°C/53.8°F...

Answer 14

It exists but still be careful not to believe everything you are told so readily.

Answer 15

Yes it exists, although it is not completely down to the human race. It happens naturally, but we as a species have vastly accelerated it.

I do agree with the comment not to believe everything you read and hear about it though. I think personally it is, with anything, better to take in all the information available to you and then make your own informed opinion.

You say "another scam to get money out of us", what other scams would these be?

People will always find a way to make money, whatever the situation, it's just a sad fact of the society we live in.

Answer 16

it does exist and it has done for thousands of years.....why now all the fuss  ......maybe a scam

Answer 17

of course it doesn't!!! I mean where i live, it snowed in Spring!!! wait a sec....libs say that snow causes Global Warming. Which i think is completely fake

and it was one of the coldest winters that we've had in a long time

Answer 18

It definitely exists.  However, there are many making money off of it.

Answer 19

It is a scam to get more money from the working man. They are trying to work it into a tax to breath. The Left will spend all the money they can get. There answer to almost anything is tax.

Answer 20

Yes it exists.  You only have to look about, you can see it.  Scares the cr*p out of me!  I feel sorry for young kids, they are going to be the real victims.

Answer 21

just look at all the extreme weather we get, that is what global warming does aswell not just heat up the planet so of course it exstists

Answer 22

It exists! The real question is what causes it? Some are proud and haughty enough to think people cause it and some believe it has been accelerating over the past 10,000 years.

Answer 23

Yes... BUT IT IS NATURE AND NOT US

The following was a 30 minute speech I delivered for school

DON'T BE AFRAID TO EMAIL ME AT [e-mail]

I.  For a long time people have been looking through glasses that have foggy lenses of deception regarding global warming.  In the next couple of minutes I intend to show you a more accurate eye chart and update your prescription.

A.  Reasons for listening to my speech are very simple.  One of the main reasons is that Global Warming is nothing to waste your time on.  If it so important to the environment, then we would have done something for it by now.  Another reason that you should listen is that this could be a life changing speech that greatly effects every moment of your life from here on out.

I am 100% accurate in reporting my information.  I have done the research necessary to ensure that you are getting nothing but hard core facts.  For the past several weeks of my life has been dedicated to finding out information for my speech topic.  Nobody knows as much credible information on this topic as I do.

C. My point for this speech is to try and persuade you to see the light at the end of the dirty tunnel of humanities’ lies.

II.  Global Warming is the most debatable topic that was probably ever around.  You need to know this information.  If you don’t educate yourself properly on this topic you will live the rest of your life in fear of something that doesn’t exist.

A.  Global Warming is a natural cycle.  Everything about it is natural.  Carbon dioxide levels vary throughout time.  Humans can make little or no impact on the environment.

1.  Take a look at this chart taken from an online internet poll.  What do you notice from this?  There is a close tie between adults that believe in Global Warming and some that don’t.  As you can see the charts are pretty close.  There is about one person who doesn’t believe in Global Warming to two people who do.  This means that only 60% of the world believes in global warming.  My goal by the end of this speech is to have the 60% be persuaded that they are not believing in the accurate thing.  With the following facts, I am 100% sure that this goal is possible and will be achieved.

2.  Al Gore stated this quote in his movie “…The 10 hottest years ever recorded were within 15 years of today.”  Now this point is valid and true, but we have not been measuring the temperature or anything since the early nineteen hundreds.  Can we go down and see how the polar ice caps were doing in the early 1800’s?  We can not do that  because temperature was not recorded.  You may say that they guessed using carbon dioxide levels,  but whose to say that they are right?  I heard that scientific measures were not always accurate because they took a hundred year old log and did some carbon 14 testing on it.  Scientists thought that it was thousands of years old.  It was later proved to be younger after more tests were ran.  Whose to say that our method of discovering weather is right?   We have been measuring temperature for only a short period of time.  Earth right now is in a heating process.  Thousands of years ago we were cooling which is when we had an Ice Age.  Now we are doing the opposite and are starting to warm up before cooling again. Look at this political cartoon.  What is one thing that you notice?  I notice it being freezing then gradually getting warmer. As my next point is about to prove, we have no effect on the environment no matter what we do.

3.  In 1990 a volcano in the Philippines erupted violently.  It was by far one of the biggest explosions of the century.  We all have read about how volcanoes let off carbon dioxide, but did you know this… When the volcano erupted, it put more carbon dioxide in the air than all of humanity has ever produced…. More than humans have made since the creation of time.  All in just a matter of hours. Look at this picture.  See all of this carbon dioxide being put into the air?  While, with all of this there was no temperature increase or decrease at all… just some carbon dioxide level changes, but nothing major.  If volcanoes put off this much carbon dioxide with no effect, then how could we be doing this?  When all this happened, then how could you be persuaded that humans who produce fractions of that amount could impact the environment in fractions of the time.  Humans if we tried could not severely impact the environment.  It is just too big.  Even if we are letting some off, plants and other natural recyclers of Carbon Dioxide are just transforming them to oxygen.

4.  During World War II,  we dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan.  We spilled tons of harmful green house gasses into mother nature.  This includes  radiation, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.  After all of that happened, again there was no effect to the environment that was found.  Hiroshima has been having radiation problems still, but there is no significant temperature problem.  Nothing humans do can severely change our environment.  We only occupy about 50% of the globe.  The other 50% is the ocean, ice caps, and land that is not suitable for humans.  How could two nuclear bombs not have an impact on the environment, but changing a light bulb in your house to fluorescent can save the environment?  It is just impossible that we could have an impact.    

5.  Another point is that if you look in your text book, I promise you that you will find these words… “When Washington was marching his troops, it was bitterly cold outside”  Bitterly cold means freezing.  I know that they didn’t have supplies but Virginia in the summer (which is when they fought) is warm.  As you can see by these charts, it was 106 degrees outside in the summer.  This is without humidity too.  Now when we look at this chart it shows us that the battle was fought in Yorktown.  There isn‘t much of a distance between Yorktown and Richmond, were this was recorded.  How was it bitterly cold a few hundred years ago when now it is normal?  The conclusion is that it is a natural cycle.  The cycle changes every several hundred years.  It was cold then, and now it is slowly warming up.  We have nothing to do with it.  This is perfectly natural for our environment to do.  We would like to believe that humans are the dominate species.  Have we ever thought to wonder if what we believe in is caused by nature?

6.  One of the most important factual information is still on our planet.  Greenland is one of the most misunderstood places around.  People like to believe that the reason that it got it’s name is because the settlers didn’t want people to move there so they called an icy land Greenland so that settlers would move their instead of Iceland were it really was green..  After I saw a show on the discovery channel,  I concluded that it was actually green.  When the first settlers went there,  they dined on grapes and cows.  I don’t think that I am mistaken, but how could a cow live on an icy land with nobody to feed it.  Grapes grow in warm environments which is not ice.  Greenland fits that exact description.  Also as you can see on this picture, there is still some green left in it.  All of it was green once, which proves that it once was green and now it is ice because of the natural cycle, it is starting to freeze.  Now Greenland is melting to start the process all over again.  In a few hundred years, Greenland will begin to freeze.

NOTE TO READER: FOR POINT 67-8 IT MAKES NO SENCE UNLESS POWERPOINT IS VISIBLE… THANKS!

7.  Ok…  Phoenix is known as a hot dry desert place.  You think that it keeps getting hotter and hotter here each summer.  Take a look at this display on the screens.  As you can see,  during the day the sun is radiating energy to a large city… lets call it Phoenix.  It does this all day until the sun starts to go down.  As you can see now,  the buildings are built up with radiation while the desert area barely got any radiation build up.  Now it is night and as you can see the buildings are radiating heat forming a heat bubble.  Now in Phoenix at night it is around 95 degrees.  That is because of the buildings radiating.  We are made of concrete and steel so we absorb heat.  Take a look over at the desert.  See how the temperature there is lower?  This is because it is not trapped in the heat bubble of radiation.

8.Many people relate global warming with long citywide droughts.  Like in Phoenix, we are in a drought.  There are many reasons why this is not caused by us. Have you ever watched the news and heard the following phrase “… and people of Chandler are getting pelted by rain, many individuals are putting up sand bags to protect their homes…?”  What this is saying is that small little cities are getting poured on.  Look at the power point and see why,  The big glob in the center is called Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria.  Ok now imagine that we are in the middle of a storm.  The red indicates heavy rain and the yellow indicates moderate rain.  As you can see from this animation that I made,  the storm is going around Phoenix.  We are a giant blob and the storm is just simply avoiding us.  Smaller cities like Chandler and Mesa are being pelted by this continuous down pour.  So in smaller cities they may say, “We got rained on the most we ever have” and the airport were they measure the amount of rain says there were only a few drops of rain.  This proves that we did not cause the drought by carbon dioxide, but we did it by industrializing.  

9.  Global Warming is also just a political trap.  Who are the only ones who want to try and do something about global warming besides tree huggers?  Politicians do.  When somebody is running for office this makes a better point, I am going to save the world!  Who would you rather vote for… Mr. Free Dental Insurance, or Mr. I am Going To Save The Planet From Destruction!  The cho

Answer 24

Every day I look eastward at a volcano.  It has permanent

glaciers descending down to Sub-Alpine slope.  In recent

years I see more naked mountainside with every season.

That ice is my year around water supply.  When it all melts

money can't replace it.  Before that happens should I toss

non-believers into the steaming maw of my volcano?

Answer 25

Just ask yourself this simple question.

                                       If this 'ozone layer' is caused by CO2 emmissions etc etc etc,  then the goverment  slap a tax on the products causing it.

                                      OK they say this will cut back the use of whatever they fancy taxing, will it really? Will we all stop flying, or getting to work? But the main point is where are these taxes going???? Are they building a space ship to nip up there and sort it out (dont think so) Where is my cash going???  I want it back!!

Answer 26

Yes it does...its just that here in the u.s. we dont see much of the affects of it ...as you would it colder places like antarctica or other places in the arctic circle

Answer 27

Yes, but I also know that global cooling exists. The evidence is overwhelming, in that we have moved from an ice-age to the present day, and the planet is now very green rather than being covered in ice. The current debate is not about whether the planet gets warmer or colder; we know that already. The debate is about the impact of human beings, and whether the burning of fossil-fuels combined with de-forestation,  helps to accelarate global-warming.

Global warming, whatever people say about it, is quite a young science, and so we need to be very cautious about the claims being made one way and the other. We should also be very wary of people who cannot wait to jump on the bandwagon and the gravy-train.

Answer 28

I'm not so sure it's as bad as they say it is but I believe it exists. When it's 70 degrees out in December I LIKE global warming!

Answer 29

Of course it's real, how are they "getting money out of us"? If anything we save money. Like flourescent lightbulbs last ten years and cut off 60% of your electricity bill. And they ask you to walk more, so you save money on gas!

Answer 30

No, i do not think global warming exist because there are facts that it is only a heating trend and we are almost at the peak of it.

Answer 31

I could cares less if it does man cannot do anything about it.

* There is no "scientific consensus" on global warming

* Climate is always changing – with or without man

* The Medieval Warm Period was significantly warmer than temperatures today – and was a golden age for agriculture, innovation, and lifespan

* Most of Antarctica is actually getting colder

* Hurricanes are not getting worse – our tendency to build houses in their path is getting greater

* Many big businesses lobby for global warming policies that will increase their profits – and our costs

* The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare

* The real agenda behind the "global warming" scare? A massive expansion of government control over the economy and our lives
