Another Global Warming question?

Question

Do you believe in global warming?

I need to do a paper on those who believe in global warming and those who don't, but I think everyone believes in global warming but wether it is caused by human or nature is the question right?

So let me know what you think

What is causing global warming?

Do you think global warming exists?

Answer 1

Global warming and cooling have been going on for over three billion years.  Humans are helping to warm things up by sheer numbers alone and many bad habits.  

Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and much worse methane are to blame.  They allow UV and sunlight through the atmosphere, but prevent infrared from being released from the earth's surface at night.  Humans produce it and release it from underground natural storage containers.

Answer 2

I think Global Warming is a scam. Come on-the Polar bears are drowning? The babies are dying because the mothers are going too far SOUTH, and then the babies die in the summer waiting to get back across when they run out of food. And also, we are burning a hole in the atmosphere!!!! AHHH. I'm SOOO scared. I'm more afraid of getting a paper-cut! PHOOEY!!!! All those commercials in the movies before the feature presentation about Go Green are sooo annoying. They make me sick. What kind of world are we turning it into. We are brainwashing our kids with all this baloney!

The earth goes in a cycle around the sun-every so years it gets closer, then every so years it gets farther away, then every so years it gets closer. I've done my research!

A few years ago in about 1995-everyone thought there was going to be another ice-age!

I totally don't agree with John Bullock, or whatever. That's americas problem, all it's citizens hate it! Whatever Mr. Once Again The US Screws Us All!

I am a true American, therefore I love america! Yeah, we've made our mistakes, but I am still loyal to my country!

Also, what do you think all the volcanoes are doing to our atmosphere? That, as I call it, is mother nature, but I'm sure as you would say, that's the presidents fault. LOL

Answer 3

Global warming (and cooling) is a never-ending cycle that has been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions more.

Answer 4

Yes I do. And while everyone is blaming cars as the primary cause I believe its being caused mostly by Jets flying at 25K-55-K feet burning jet fuel. Look at all the thousands of Jets flying at a high altitude everyday where the exhaust is instantly affecting the atmosphere.

I think its not only the engine that is causing the problem either. Its also being effected by solar activity which also effects the atmosphere

Answer 5

I think everyone forgets the 250+ atmospheric nuclear tests the American govt undertook between 1950-1990.

I'm sure letting off 250 bombs hundreds of times more powerful than Hirshima is not entirely harmless to the atmosphere.

Once again- the US screws us all.

Answer 6

Have you ever wondered why people don't debate what the speed of light is?  This can pe measured and determined by almost anyone.

However this isn't the way "global warming" is determined.  "Global warming" is determined by the number of scientists who vote on if they believe the data.  This is subjective science, subjective on what they believe.

If you have to believe something, that's religion and better discussed my the mystics.  Real science is objective and determined by the math.

Answer 7

GW is caused by the earth's relationship to the sun, the output of the sun, and other cosmic effects like cosmic ray counts.

AGW is political bullying and nonsense. CO2 is a FOLLOWING indicator, natural CO2 comprises 3% of the atmosphere, and human caused CO2 comprise 0.0037% of THAT. It is ridiculous to think an amount that small can do ANYTHING to the atmosphere.

Answer 8

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.

The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations"[1] via the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.[2][3]

These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least thirty scientific societies and academies of science,[4] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.[5][6][7] While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with some findings of the IPCC,[8] the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.[9][10]

Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.[1] The range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.[1]

Increasing global temperature will cause sea level to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences.

Answer 9

I think global warming is just the earth going through another phase of it's existence. Right now the human race is most dominant. If the world does flood, we'll either have adapted by then, or we will all die and another species will take over.

Answer 10

GW is a major scam manipulated by the governments worldwide to provoke fear & panic attacks in societies, and to raise/create taxes to "control the problem".  Many entities & persons are getting very rich with this money-making machine.

To make things more painful for societies, the USA government manipulates weather by using the HAARP project.

My 2 cents.

Answer 11

It would be more accurate to call it Global Climate Change.  Yes I believe in it.

Global Warming, based on actual measured data, not computer models, stopped in 1998.  The temperature was stable until 2002, and has been cooling ever since.

This is what the earth does.  It is a dynamic system and is always changing.  The day that it stops changing is the day that we go extinct.

There are alot of reasonable and reasoned theories about global warming (and a whole lot of straight up crazy theories about global warming).  First, lets understand the CO2 levels are a result of global warming, not the cause of.  As the oceans warm they release the dissolved CO2 they contain into the atmosphere.  Thats why you will see a lag of anywhere from 20 to 89 years between the temperature increase and the CO2 levels.

I think the best theory I have seen is about the Milankovitch Cycle.  This cycle is primarily a 100,000 year cycle, with smaller 10,000 year and 1,500 year cycles.  Warming an cooling are both caused by a number of different factors (none having anything to do with humans).  Primary is the earths position in its orbit of the sun, also the angle of the earth to the sun, and the earths wobble as it orbits the sun.

One thing that the AGW alarmists always fail to consider is; if mankind is causing global warming, and not the sun, why is it warming on Venus, Mars, and Neptune?  Probably those d**n SUV's!!! LOL

Answer 12

GW- natural cycle

AGW-UN trojan horse for global domination
