Some facts on Global Warming is not a big issue???

Question

Hey, my teacher is making me write a paper on why Global Warming exists but just isn't a big issue.

thanks

(i have to site all of my sources...so i need links!!!!!!!!)

Answer 1

What??

I hope he's also having you write a seperate paper on why it is a big issue.  Otherwise he's imposing his own (wrong) opinions about the issue onto his students, which is not his job.

Teachers are supposed to have their students learn about an issue and form their own conclusions, not tell them what conclusions they're supposed to draw.  That's terrible.

Sorry I can't help you, because the fact is that global warming is a very big issue.  If your teacher isn't doing his job correctly you should notify your parents.

Answer 2

Check out the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. There is actually still a great deal of scientific debate about the extent of Anthropogenic Global Warming. While most scientists recognize a warming trend (80%) there is not a widely held consensus (only about 57%) that human activity is the cause. And less than 20% think it is actually reversable. But people who talk about sun spots, and solar radiation are mocked and humiliated. I think energy efficiency, pollution reduction and reforestation are great things. And I think they can be achieved in economically responsible ways that will not cripple the country. But I don't think they will alter the course of climate change one little bit. Still doesn't mean we shouldn't do them. Just don't expect miracles.

Answer 3

I think Global warming is an incredible issue and something needs to be done about it.

I have no idea what i would say if i was told to write an essay saying it was not a big issue.good luck though.

Answer 4

Remember first that this has become a political issue. Make no mistake the science has been greatly impacted by this fact. Go to U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Check out the minority report on global warming. You should get plenty of quotes by reputable scientists that will tell you it is a non-issue.

Answer 5

global warming is a big issue and that your teacher can't have you wright about it if is not true.

Answer 6

Sounds like your teacher is at least fair minded as well as open minded.  Not like some of the AGW religious believers on this section.

Answer 7

Warming has always be generally beneficial.  Cooling has always been associated with negative consequences such as increased disease, increased starvation from crop failure, and fewer domestic animals surviving.  Warming on the other hand reduces these problems and brings prosperity.  Somehow, we are supposed to put our logic on hold so that those with an agenda can scare us and suggest that warming is nothing but harmful.  It is pretty silly really.

Answer 8

Expect a left wing education from your governnment, teachers union, school.  The teachers union supports the democrats and their causes.  The former democrat vice president, Al Gore is the high priest of global warming.  What you will not be told is that Al Gore lives in a twenty room, eight bath mansion in Nashville Tennessee.  He also owns two other homes.  The global warming wackos have forgotten a large fiery object that is 93,000,000 miles from us.  That is the source of our continuous cooling and warming periods.  Our sun did not come equiped with a thermostat. The temperature has gone up one degree in the last 100 years.  Oh my God the sky is falling.  A few hundred years ago they were farming in Greenland.  That is how it got its name.  Now the place is a frozen wasteland.  The scientist touting global warming would get no grants if they did not go along with this sham.

What sort of school would set research assignments, but instruct those doing them on what they are to find?

Answer 11

It is amazing that the whole global warming trend is a statistical number game when you come to realize that all the measuring equipment has a +/-.5 degree error and they say the earth has warmed up .2 degree. Just remember that the average deviation on the thermometers used is +/- .5 degrees. and they try to average out the data. You can’t get a better result using coarser data. That’s a fact.

If they don’t have data for a day/month they just “add” data to fill in the missing spots.

   So most of the time the data they use is data that has been corrupted to fit the results that global warming is real.

So what can tell us if we are facing a global climate change?

    The answer has always been in the tree's (No kidding it is called growth rings) a unbiased record that proves that it just a cyclic event.

  No scientist has used growth rings (as far as I know) to prove global warming. Reason: some of the redwoods in California are as old as 1000 years. And yes they prove that the climate shifts from time to time each century, without the intervention of man.

   I just think it is funny that the GW crowd's favorite data set is now 8 years old that proves global warming and when they start adding in the data after 1999-2007 the whole trend is lost.

   How do you think the research scientists get paid to do their job? It is by the person or group or company that has the biggest gain from their “Research”

   Sad but true. Just remember that research scientists don’t do their work for free. Right now the biggest grants being handed out "Courtesy of the UN and the US Congress" is for research into Global Warming

How much is Al Gore getting paid in kickbacks in the "Carbon Offset" company he owns?

   Why would you disprove something if by doing so you stop getting paid?

  I crunched the numbers on the buoy data that "proves global warming" guess what, they use a 8 year old data set to prove their facts! Once you figure in the next 8 years their global warming goes out the window.

Answer 12

This is what the "scientists" said 30 years ago.  Maybe in another thirty years we'll laugh at what they are saying now (as I already am).

Answer 13

"What sort of school would set research assignments, but instruct those doing them on what they are to find?"

Actually I think the teacher has a good point, just look at some of the sites people has posted here "alecbaldwinsucks.com"? "heartland.org" as proof you will find nothing at either that can be scientifically verified I think that is the point the teacher is trying to make!.

The site below, a real science magazine explains 26 of the worst denier myths related to GW including the "cooling 70's" myth.
