Global warming. which is it?!?

Question

all the AGW promoters say that virtually ALL the scientists support that its man made.

But all the skeptics/deniers claims that AGW has been almost unanimously debunked and most scientists disagree with it.

So which is it? One side is obviously wrong because "all the scientists" can't support both sides. what is it 50/50 with 1% wavering back and forth??

and you know what? whether global warming is true or false, pollution continues to pile up and no one does anything to develop clean technology.

Answer 2

Hundreds of years ago we never had a problem.  Now that we have so much technology are environment is being destroyed.  It is man made.  Nobody wants to admit it for fear of losing their business (car dealers, power plants, paper).

Answer 3

well, global warming is not a hoax. some scientists believe what they want to believe. Yes, it is man made, in other words how did the world end up this way?

Answer 4

From my experience, the truth is that the majority of scientists support it.

One things for sure, global warming / climate change is NOT a "hoax". If it was purely projecture, you wouldn't have so many scientists researching it.

NAS and AAAS, huge scientific organisations who have been around for roughly 150 years both say global warming is happening and we are the ones doing it. Don't know about you, but I trust them. I've been to a lot of geography open days recently, and all the lecturers I spoke to are not in denial of man-made climate change.

Skeptics think its about politics, but science has jack all to do with politics. There's corruption on either side, but scientific organisations are not influenced by politics.

There are also some groups of scientists disagreeing against it, but they are much smaller in number (of scientists, and noble prize scientists).

Neither side can be 100% positive or accurate. However, no one argues, or should argue, that polluation of CO2, SO2, or NO is a good thing.

Answer 5

Would you believe historians and archaeologists? History tells us that people KNEW about a Northwest Passage. Obviously, it's been open before. How else would Viking settlements be found by archaeologists in Newfoundland?

Last I heard, Vikings didn't drive SUV's.

Answer 6

AGW proponents are correct.  Proof:

Skeptics and deniers will usually trot out some fraudulent list of 'skeptical' scientists like the Oregon Petition or Inhofe's list of 400.  Most of the 'scientists' on these lists have no experience in climate science (they're botanists, chemists, mathematicians, geographers, etc.), only doubt some minor aspect but believe the general theory is correct, or in the case of the Oregon Petition, many of the names were just falsified (i.e. Dr. Spice Girl Geri Halliwell).

Every major scientific organization which has an official position on global warming has said that humans are causing it.

The right-wing think tank Heartland Institute recently held a "conference" to show that there was scientific dissent on global warming, and almost no scientists showed up even though they paid them to speak.

The global warming deniers don't have a leg to stand on.  Almost all scientists agree with the consensus on anthropogenic global warming.
