anyone who is a global warming expert...please attache any document...Internet address...anything that gives me full proof that global warming is real or that it is "man-made"...i need a SCIENTIFIC proof with SCIENTIFIC approval that global warming is real and if it is that it is all nature or all human...or both...

remember...SCIENTIFIC!!

  1. There is no evidence that the actual slight warming of the atmosphere is man made. I think that global warming theory has nothing to do with science. It is something elaborated by politics helped by some people pretending to be scientists and receiving money from governments. You will not find any scientific proof.


  2. The proof is in the links.This is science and what counts is the data, not some amateurs words here.  The idea that there's no proof is clearly disproven in the links.

    "I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

    Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

    Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

    Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

    There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

    And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

    "There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know...  Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point.  You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

    Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

  3. You won't find real proof. There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that global warming is man made. NONE

  5. Scientists don't like to use the word "proof" because everything in science is subject to revision as new data comes in. But the case for human-caused global warming is about as strong as it gets.

    1. World surface temperatures are getting warmer, and this trend has accelerated since the mid 1970's. Almost no scientist in the 21st century has disputed this basic fact, even among the most diehard GW skeptics. Here is the data from NASA / GISS:

    http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabled...

    ... and from the UK's Hadley Centre:

    http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcrut3/

    As I said, even GW skeptics accept that it's getting warmer; the major dispute is what's causing it: human beings, through increased greenhouse gases in the air? Or natural causes, like the Sun? The dispute is more political than scientific, though, because the scientific case for increased greenhouse effect is rock solid.

    If the Sun is causing the current warmth, then we're getting more energy, and the whole atmosphere should be getting warmer. If it's greenhouse, then we're getting the same amount of energy, but it's being distributed differently: more heat is trapped at the surface, and less heat is escaping to the stratosphere. So if it's the Sun, the stratosphere should be warming, but if it's greenhouse, the stratosphere should be cooling.

    In fact, the stratosphere has been on a long-term cooling trend ever since we've been keeping radiosonde balloon records in the 1950's. Here's the data:

    2. If it's the Sun, we're getting more energy during the day, and daytime temperatures should be rising fastest. But if it's greenhouse, we're losing less heat at night, and nighttime temperatures should be rising fastest. So if it's the sun, the difference between day and night temperatures should be increasing, but if it's greenhouse, the day-night difference should be decreasing.

    In fact, the daily temperature range has been decreasing throughout the 20th century. Here's the science:

    3. Total solar irradiance has been measured by satellite since 1978, and during that time it has shown the normal 11-year cycle, but no long-term trend. Here's the data:

    http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/SOLAR/solar...

    4. Scientists have looked closely at the solar hypothesis and have strongly refuted it. Here's the peer-reviewed science:

    5. CO2 levels in the air were stable for 10,000 years prior to the industrial revolution, at about 280 parts per million by volume (ppmv). Since 1800, CO2 levels have risen 38%, to 384 ppmv, with no end in sight. Here's the modern data...

    http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends...

    ... and the ice core data ...

    http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore/a...

    http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore/a...

    ... and a graph showing how it fits together:

    6. We know that the excess CO2 in the air is caused by burning of fossil fuels, for two reasons. First, because the sharp rise in atmospheric CO2 started exactly when humans began burning coal in large quantities (see the graph linked above); and second, because when we do isotopic analysis of the CO2 we find increasing amounts of "old" carbon combined with "young" oxygen. Here are the peer-reviewed papers:

    http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984JGR......

    http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/mk...

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

    So what's left to prove?

  6. There is no empirical proof.

  7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeling_Cur...

    is the "Keeling Curve".  It shows there is more

    carbon coming from *somewhere*

    http://fermiparadox.wordpress.com/2007/0...

    has a spectrum about half-way down called "Transparency of the atmosphere"  If you wade through all the technical stuff, it should say that greenhouse gases (like CO2) let light in, but

    are not so good at letting heat out.  

    If you want to know if "the government" is denying global warming, specify which government, and realize that there may be disagreement between branches or departments.

    No, the government is not denying man-made global warming.  The Bush Admin acknowledged it many years ago.
