On Global Warming....?

Question

Do you believe global warming is our fault and can be stopped or do you believe that it is the natural progression of the earth?

Why or why not.....

Answer 1

There is overwhelming evidence that humans are, at least partly, causing global warming.  I don't think we can stop it, but we can slow it down by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.  The natural part we cannot do anything about.  However, by slowing global warming we will reduce the serious effects to the globe and human society.

EDIT: THERE IS SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN THE ARTICLE I LINKED.  Does caps help you to understand?

Answer 2

I don't believe in global warming.  It is part of the natural warming/cooling trends that have always happened.  The socialists are using it to scam us, but there is no truth whatsoever to anything they say.

Answer 3

i believe in it

Answer 4

I believe that it is both. Of course warming is a natural cycle of the earth - just like cooling is (or the term ice age would never have been invented).

I also believe that it is possible to accelerate and amplify the natural warming cycle by introducing into the atmosphere unnatural levels of the gasses which naturally caused the warming cycle.

The majority of climatologists agree with this as well...

Answer 5

Notice that clear nights cool off rapidly, cloudy or humid nights do not. think of nights in the desert. This is because water vapor is 95% of the greenhouse effect. CO2 is 4%, humans are blamed for 1/4 of that. AGW  proponents would have us believe a small increase in C02 will increase the water vapor content, in a runaway cycle. AGW is the most expensive load of baloney in history. Here is a link to a good explanation of the skeptics position on this scam, in laymans language, very readable.

Answer 6

Global Warming is not a Doomsday  Prophesy  it is a wake up call.  The first thing we need to do is help make some changes in our national mind set from one that lets us believe that our earth can recover from anything, to one that lets us believe that our earth could use a little help.

Developing cleaner ways to produce electricity is not going to hurt a thing, if it doe’s nothing but make the air we breathe cleaner it works for me.

Developing  alternative fuels to power our transportation needs , again won’t hurt a thing, reduce the demand for oil you reduce the price we pay  for it, I think everyone can say “that works for me” to this.

In our everyday life one of  best ways  to help focus your mind set  in the right direction is to say to yourself each morning, “Today I will do no harm to the earth” I do this it works, I find myself doing little things that in the long run enriches my life, again it don’t hurt a thing.

I could go on about this all day but I won’t. I’m a global warming  advocate but, not because of some unfounded fear of  Doomsday but (as you may have guessed by now) because it won’t hurt a thing to help our earth recover from  years of  industrial plunder.

Answer 7

burning coal and oil, that adds CO2 to the atmosphere, is the cause.

now you'll see folks say there are cycles, which is true.

you'll see folks say warming comes from the sun, which is also true.

keep in mind for many years the tobacco industry told us the cigarettes were not addicting, and didn't cause cancer.

some of the exact same folks that were supporting the tobacco industry line are today supporting the coal and oil industry.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?t*t...

"Many experts for hire, such as Steven Milloy, proprietor of Junkscience.com, flatly refuse to discuss where they get their funding, and the front groups and think tanks that employ them are not required to disclose their funding sources."

however, every honest science organization supports the idea that our burning of coal and oil is the problem.

organizations like NOAA, NSF, NAS, EPA, NASA, MIT and many others.

you just don't find the deniers can claim the same support for their views.

on the other hand, i have heard people say that science has been wrong in the past, and since this is such a new branch of science, they're wrong today.

Answer 8

The truth is that global warming AND cooling have occurred 'naturally' for millions of years..... with and without man.

There is absolutely NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that man is causing Earth's climate to change..... there are only guesses at this point in time.

Edit 1:

Vitousek is NOT a climate cause scientists.  Your source suggests that he spends his time worrying about birds in Hawaii disappearing and being threatened by bears.

NO Scientific PROOF is offered in your link.... only guesses.

The Warmers persist in repeating false information over and over again, hoping that eventually people will buy into their religion.

Please don't fall for it!!

Answer 9

Global warming comes from two sources:  the sun and the magma beneath us.

Man's contribution is minuscule.

Answer 10

BB is absolutely right!!!!

the enviormentalists persuade u to believe that the earth is heating up, and we can stop it by reducin all this stuff, and not drill to gett gas cuz it will "hurt the earth", but if they just let us drill the gas prices will lower, and it wont "hurt the earth".

so dont believe everything u hear, research it first. there is no scientific proof Global Warming is happening

..... 2 yearas ago the enviormentalists thought that the earth was freezing.....now they believe it heating...

so u decide what you choose to believe.

Answer 11

I believe the real question is, are we people responsible? I think not...question for the warm hearted folks...what caused the original ice age?  And some of the hottest recorded dates in history were in the late 1800 hundreds...what caused them?   How is the ice doing in Antarctica?   You don't hear folks talking about that do you?  Now having said that, I do care about the environment and believe we should do what we can to reduce greenhouse emissions, etc.  but we would all be knee deep in horse **** if the those who carry the Green Socialist flag have their way... I am pretty tired of all the politicians on both sides debating this topic. I would love to have national televised debates between Scientist on BOTH sides of the argument debate it....and there are TWO sides,  the liberal media just doesn't like to present the other side. Before you know it we will be required to carry a back pack scrubber on our backs to catch and scrub all the farts we produce...with a government permit and license charge.
