So if we're experiencing a permanent global warming, why is this happening?

Question

Answer 1

global warming is happening because of all of the CO2 emissions and other forms of pollution that have depleated the ozone. all of the CO2 that is in the atmosphere is trapping all of the warmth on the earth, it is forming a barrier from letting it escape (preventing equilibrium). this trapped heat is not normal and therefore is melting the ice bergs and warming the oceans. this will cause an increase of intensity in huricanes and tropical storms. basically this is happening because only certain parts of the government chooose to acknowledge that this is a real problem, but without the backing of the current nothing is being done about it.

Answer 2

This is what the 'warmers' don't want you to see or understand:

"    The Earth's Crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin in comparison to the other three layers. The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8 kilometers) thick under the oceans"

Ocean cooling is also called La Nina - Ocean cooling is tied to 'solar cycles' - it appears that the Sun is entering into a 'solar minimum'.  You can monitor Sun cycles here:

Answer 3

Winter weather.

Don't confuse weather with climate.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Global warming is causing massive changes through out the world, some places will be colder, others hotter, other wetter...it's an overall effect on the world climate, not particular spots on the globe.  This will likely result in much worse weather, including an increase in strength and frequency of hurricanes, tornado's, monsoons, etc..

Answer 6

its local temps, not global. if this was sustained for several years this argument may have some merit but currently it just a dumb argument.

PS try looking at the global temps over a few years. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2007/

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.
