Is Global Warming real or fake and if it is real how come there is only 1 fact to go with it?

Question

The only fact is that the poles are melting

Answer 1

I think the only fact is that there is a corrolation between CO2 and warming (ie the Earth has been warming at the same time CO2 has been increasing).  

The physics of warming by CO2 depend on lots of speculative feedback mechanisms to generate warming and the climate change we have seen over the last 100 years is not unprecedented.  

The only fact is corrolation, not proven causation.

Answer 2

CO2 cannot increase temperature, regardless of what others tell you.  The amount of carbon doixide in the atmosphere changes with temperature though, so temperature change happens first, then the amount of carbon dioxide.  Since the temperature hasn't warmed much over the last 100 years the amount of CO2 is relatively the same as it was then.  Many knowledgable scientists say that instead of warming, the earth has entered a cooling phase.  Therefore, the CO2 in the atmosphere will 'naturally' decrease too.  Man can play no role in this.

The global warming theory is based on carbon dioxide change, or CO2.  Not carbon monoxide or any other kind of carbon...strictly CO2.  That's what we are told. So car usage, smog and any  other carbon monoxide producing factors don't fit into the theory.  They are not what 'science' has told us is causing global warming.  It's still a good idea to conserve, drive less, not pollute, recycle etc. to help the earth, but these things can't help solve the global warming issues if you choose to believe in them.  None of these things cause CO2, the "greenhouse gas".

So man made global warming therefore seems to be fake.  There is a lot of money to be made from it by unscrupulous politicians and so called 'scientists' which will go towards promoting more of their zany ideas.  They all know that man cannot change the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but promote their ideas anyhow.  They use terms like "the world's top scientists" to support their community, but there are more scientists against the theory of manmade global warming than for it.   An equal culprit to the junk science scientists, lobbyists and politicians  who made up this idea of g/w is the media. They jump on anything to make headlines and therefore financial profit.

Answer 3

Totally fake, just read the contradictory references that some post here....

lol

Now folks, hear this...  We are now warming more at night than we are in the day.... Just ask an alarmist...

ROTFLMAO

Anyone with common sense like to debate?

No small wonder Bush posted thank you cards for all those anti-Bush speakers all over Los Angeles.  All us skeptics have to do is let the alarmists speak.. LOL

You mean another brainwashed kid is arguing in support of global warming?  That makes total sense now...  Whew, I thought it was someone with a real education touting that off the wall stuff...

Answer 4

i think it is true.. it is because of the green house gases that is trap inside the earth.. and that makes our world so hot..

Answer 5

I know I'm going to regret asking, but what fact is that?

Answer 6

There are many basic scientific facts which can only be explained if the current global warming is being caused by an increased greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere from humans burning fossil fuels.

For example, the planet is warming as much or more during the night than day.  If the warming were due to the Sun, the planet should warm a lot more during the day when the Sun has influence.  Greenhouse gases trap heat all the time, so they warm the planet regardless of time of day.  Another example is that the upper atmosphere is cooling because the greenhouse gases trap the heat in the lower atmosphere.  If warming were due to the Sun, it would be warming all layers of the atmosphere.

We know it's warming, and we've measured how much:

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science...

Scientists have a good idea how the Sun and the Earth's natural cycles and volcanoes and all those natural effects change the global climate, so they've gone back and checked to see if they could be responsible for the current global warming.  What they found is:

Over the past 30 years, all solar effects on the global climate have been in the direction of (slight) cooling, not warming.  This is during a very rapid period of global warming.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/62902...

http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/media/pro...

A recent study concluded:

“the range of  [Northern Hemisphere]-temperature reconstructions and natural forcing histories…constrain the natural contribution to 20th century warming to be <0.2°C [less than one-third of the total warming].  Anthropogenic forcing must account for the difference between a small natural temperature signal and the observed warming in the late 20th century.”

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/104...

You can see this in the third graph here, where the dotted lines are just from natural causes, and the full lines are natural + human causes:

http://www.pnas.org/content/vol104/issue...

If that’s not enough to convince you the Sun isn’t responsible, consider the fact that no scientific study has ever attributed more than one-third of the warming over the past 30 years to the Sun, and most attribute just 0-10% to the Sun.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

So the Sun certainly isn't a large factor in the current warming.  They've also looked at natural cycles, and found that we should be in the middle of a cooling period right now.

"An often-cited 1980 study by Imbrie and Imbrie determined that 'Ignoring anthropogenic and other possible sources of variation acting at frequencies higher than one cycle per 19,000 years, this model predicts that the long-term cooling trend which began some 6,000 years ago will continue for the next 23,000 years.'"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitc...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/ab...

So it's definitely not the Earth's natural cycles.  They looked at volcanoes, and found that

a) volcanoes cause more global cooling than warming, because the particles they emit block sunlight

b) humans emit over 150 times more CO2 than volcanoes annually

http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/Gases/man....

So it's certainly not due to volcanoes.  Then they looked at human greenhouse gas emissions.  We know how much atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased over the past 50 years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mauna...

And we know from isotope ratios that this increase is due entirely to human emissions from burning fossil fuels.  We know how much of a greenhouse effect these gases like carbon dioxide have, and the increase we've seen is enough to have caused almost all of the warming we've seen over the past 30 years (about 80-90%).  You can see a model of the various factors over the past century here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clima...

This is enough evidence to convince almost all climate scientists that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming.

Answer 7

30 years ago Scientist told us that we should prepare ourselves for a new (Ice Age, now it's Globle Warming. Yeah right! Bad science then and bad science now.

Answer 8

I believe it is just a scam designed to strike a blow to capitalism perpetuated by people who don't understand that all prosperity is created through capitalism.

I am confused as to what this fact is that you mention.

Human caused global warming is only a misguided power grabbing theory.

It doesn't meet the scientific definition of a fact.

Answer 9

fake

Answer 10

It's true.

The gradual development of understanding of many hundreds of facts are summarized in detail by a physicist on this site:

http://www.aip.org/history/climate/co2.h...

Here's a good FAQ on the science:

Frequently Asked Questions from Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. ...

http://www.gcrio.org/ipcc/ar4/wg1/faq/in...

The scientists in the 10 national science academies that jointly drafted this statement say it's real:

Joint Statement of Science Academies: Global Response to Climate Change [PDF], 2005

http://royalsociety.org/displaypagedoc.a...

Key Points:

- Climate change is real

- Reduce the causes of climate change

- Prepare for the consequences of

climate change

The balance of scientific papers is overwhemlingly in support of global warming being real:

http://norvig.com/oreskes.html

"The consensus was quantified in a Science study by Prof. Naomi Oreskes (Dec. 2004) in which she surveyed 928 scientific journal articles that matched the search [global climate change] at the ISI Web of Science. Of these, according to Oreskes, 75% agreed with the consensus view (either implicitly or explicitly), 25% took no stand one way or the other, and none rejected the consensus."

Cindy W -

The mechanism for trapping the heat is CO2 and other greenhouse gasses blocking outgoing heat (infrared radiation).  Since there is no other warming mechanism (sun) during the night, less heating during the day and more heating at night confirms that the observed warming is from CO2 not from the sun (a day-centric mechanism).  

Measurements have confirmed that the Earth is absorbing more energy from sunlight than it is emitting back to space in the form of heat radiation:

Earth’s Energy Out of Balance: The Smoking Gun for Global Warming

http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/imbalance_...

http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/article...

"Scientists at Columbia University, NASA, and the Department of Energy have found that the Earth is out of energy balance: the Earth is absorbing more energy from sunlight than it is emitting back to space in the form of heat radiation. This imbalance provides confirmation of global warming theory and a measure of the net forcing that human’s are applying to the Earth by adding greenhouse gases and other pollutants to the Earth’s atmosphere."

Temperature measurements have also confirmed warming at night, such as in the Tahoe Basin:

-- Nights are warmer: Night low temperatures have risen more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1911.

Answer 11

Ok there is more than 1 fated that globale warming is happening we had to study it for a long time and there are a lot of facts that we had to learn.

And it is real not fake it is happening to all of us!!

Answer 12

Definitely real

theres probably only one fact because everyone else is to ignorant to listen and learn about it.

Answer 13

Thats it just the statement no details,

what is the fact pray tell .something tells me you dont want to clean the trash in your back yard

Global Warming is true, there are Natural fazes but we are affecting that to a great extent ,with deforestation ,desertification and pollution., especially air pollution.

A few weeks 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 ,

All life is interrelated of both flora and fauna, And since we are on the top of the food chain ,

we are always the last to know.

So Global warming has its toll there are incidents all over the world ,

However

confusion rules the day ,i am beginning to think that SCIENCE HAS BEEN INVADED WITH POLITICS AND HUMAN EMOTIONS

The truth is being distorted at high levels,

And lies have been weaved in.

Some of the real dangers are being hidden because there are no solutions , Public could panic.and Authorities would loose control .

Besides Corporations have other priorities and changes will cause loss of profits ,this also affects the truths being published

Others facts are exaggerated so that the phenomena can be used to milk the people.

This is further complicated with Arrogance that will not admit that mankind could be guilty, or that Gods could be out of control ,unloving or incompetent

But I do not think we can make a real difference anymore to change the tide.

On a Global scale,Humanity is not co operative enough .

The poor regions have other priorities such as daily survival.

There is a lot we can do about being more responsible with what we got ,

In the first world countries many do not care or are more interested in Global Control than Global Warming.

Answer 14

That is why polar bear colonies are growing, al gore seem to just point out two colonies that are dying, the rest are doing fine it is just the polar bears fault.

Hmmmmmmm………They have said global freezing was a factor not too long ago.

If pollution was a factor in global warming we only contribute 0.001% of global warming.

I think that we need to change our calendars because every year is 365.5 days over time that 0.5 adds up. We just need to add days to our seasons. This even supports the global freezing; add days to our seasons and well there you go a solution.

Why in Earths name would well…Earth warm up because of pollutions there are no facts behind this and if pollution is a factor of global warming why are they blaming U.S.A. for it, China has like 10-billion more cars and things that pollute

The only reason global warming came out is to make people fear something politics always want the humans to fear something to sound like an expert and so you vote for them!?!?!?

The earth has been cooling and warming from the second it was made it is really not that big of a deal?!

People are always trying to come up with ways to scare us. Ozone is a greenhouse gas; it traps heat that would otherwise radiate into space. If the ozone layer is DECREASING, then why do people say the temperature is rising? Ozone traps heat! If there's less of it, there's less heat being trapped!

MY MAIN IDEA

In the time of the dinosaurs went through a series of stats the Jurassic era, the coniferous era, ect. This is just another state of the earth it not a big deal it’s just warming to grows plants like in the Jurassic era and so on and so forth.

PROOF FACTORS

How come there is like a billion facts global warming is fake and two reasons it is real
