Does global warming exsist?

Question

According to the democrats-liberals-Al Gore it does. According to Nasa, and many other top scientists it's a political scam. Who do you believe?

Answer 1

no it is a scam and +- 75% of the world knows it

Answer 2

This seems to be a new trend from the denier movement; they have given up on the wacky alternate theories and are just straight out lying. NASA are one of many scientific organizations that support GW as a theory and are helping fund a lot of research towards understanding it.

Edit:

Michael Griffin actual comments (link 3 below)

What are Griffin's scientific qualifications, he was an engineer and is now an administrator, even so, there is nothing in his comment about scams political or otherwise. His personal opinion is global warming is natural, NASA's chief climate scientist has publicly disagreed with his comments. From a scientific point of view Griffin comment don’t mean anything, unless of course you are clutching at straws to try and prove a denier point of view, LOOK LOOK an administrator, hand picked by Bush aggress with us, I would guess he also believes WMD’s have been found in Iraq, if he were asked.

I wonder what the NASA janitors think about GW?

Answer 3

no it is a scam.

Answer 4

This question is complete fiction, with no evidence to back it up at all.

Answer 5

Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,Subsequen... wind and Water erosion,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources and air pollution.

WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

A while ago one of NASA's top scientists concluded that the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free within five years, much faster than all previous predictions.

when the north pole is gone , you may have polar bears soon in America ,looking for a home ,

Calculations do not include the accumulative ,speeding up ,factor with time. the increase in water temperature will get faster all the time as well as the melting, when the ice is all gone the deeper cold Ocean currents will be drastically affected,which in turn will affect the warm currents,since all moving bodies of water are connected in series.

This will affect coastal climates ,world wide ,almost instantly. All aquatic flora and fauna will be affected,many dying off and others becoming invasive,

And recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

.A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

. these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

This affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that ,affect all that follows in the food chains ,

in the last 300 years half of the planets forests have gone

and in the last 50 years

half of our wet lands ,rain forests and ice fields .and 3000 species of animals .

We are now witnessing a mass Extinction of animals and plants of Biblical proportions,equal since the disappearance of the dinosaurs

.

There is a series that you can download easy ,called

bbc,Planet earth by David Attenborough.

About 15 ---700mb videos

this is a photographic team that has been filming Nature stories all over the world ,for a very long time .

In 3 of the episodes called --the future--saving species(this one covers extinction and the importance of species)

the future--living together ,ice worlds ,

they compare films they made before of places and species to what they are filming now in the same places.

Many scientists give commentaries as well .

Whole migrations of animals involving millions have disappeared in only 20 years,

in one place in the tundras ,in just 5 years

CHECK THE CLOCK FOR THE SPEED

If we want to save ourselves as a specie ,we have to address

the problems

We can correct most of the destructive factors

with disciplines ,changes of attitude and habits,alternative energies ,sustainable design etc.

All species are in Danger eventually,and each is important because all of Life on this planet is interrelated even if it is not obvious

Imagine that the Eco system is a wall and each specie is represented by a brick

Every brick taken out weakens the wall ,and eventually it will collapse ,which brick is the most important ???

they are all important and we are one of the bricks

Answer 6

According to the United Nations, it exists.  According to the vast majority of scientists, it exists.  According to college professors in universities, it exists.  According to all the data I've ever seen that was taken in an unbiased manner, it exists.  So I think it is pretty safe to say that yes, it does indeed exist.  You can choose not to believe it of course, but really with the huge amount of scientific backing, you are just fooling yourself.

You could read more about Global Warming in this article, that admits to its existence as obvious and talks about it as an existing entity that you should learn more about and is the official article about it for *gasp* NASA:  http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/global_war...

Apparently they aren't as against it as you thought?

Answer 7

Yes there are a lot of factors which contribute to global warming.

Freon for example, never disappears from the air it just does up high and destroys the Earth's atmosphere!!!

Answer 8

You said and i quote

"According to Nasa, and many other top scientists it's a political scam."

This is completely untrue i.e. a lie!

NASA supports the theory of GW and have contributed to the science of the theory, the theory has man made Co2 as the cause of GW hence your original question and all the bleating afterward, are rubbish.

(Intern Jello) is up to his usual standard, you take one of the warmest years on record as your starting point (98) and show a cooling trend WOW (second link is the full page he cherry picked from)

and (Leaful weapon) you have the 75% figure correct but its the research figure for people who think GW is real, first link below.

Update

So you didn't read it because its liberal, heck we read all the links you posted, OH wait!, you didn't post one shred of backup material as proof of any of your drivel.

Answer 9

The climate is always changing.  It's either getting warmer or colder as there is no such thing as a static climate.

Over the last 10 years, NASA shows that the climate is cooling slightly.

Answer 10

its a scam for the government to tax us on something that is insaine. the fact is earth will change and it has changed and is still changing as time progresses . do i belive in this horse s**+*t  about  man made global warming no , a point someone should bring up is , there was a  change when dinosaurs were on the earth , they became extinct , and i don't think they could drive or do anything humans could do , so its b.s. !!!! if the earth is going to change so be it, we can't do anything for it  our ego's have gotten  way outta hand

Answer 11

Are you referring to this NASA?

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/2...

"A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s."

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/2...

"NASA and Columbia University Earth Institute research finds that human-made greenhouse gases have brought the Earth's climate close to critical tipping points, with potentially dangerous consequences for the planet."

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/2...

"Climatologists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City have found that 2007 tied with 1998 for Earth's second warmest year in a century."

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/2...

"NASA scientists have developed a new climate model that indicates that the most violent severe storms and tornadoes may become more common as Earth's climate warms."

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Laborat...

"Today, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen to 360 parts per million. This increase is alarming because the rate at which carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere continues to steadily increase."

Perhaps, you haven't researched this subject as thoroughly as you thought.

Edit:

LOL - so where exactly does NASA say it's "not" caused by co2?  I'm eager to see your evidence.

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/G...

Edit 2:

As you put it "Who do you believe?"  Do you believe NASA (see my links above)?  Or do you believe whatever right-wing blog you read that mistakenly told you NASA thinks it's a political scam?

Edit 3:

It might help you with your "credibility" if you actually provided a link to the NASA site that "backs up" your claim, rather than a series of unsupported rants.  That's called tap-dancing and the only thing it demonstrates is that I backed you into a corner because you made a completely false statement about NASA.  Next time, I suggest you don't repeat hearsay without checking the primary source (in this case NASA) yourself.
