Waves of Global Warming?

Question

Many people think that global warming is the result of the use of fossil fuels.... but i was told that an erupting volcano produces 10 to 100 times the amount of the same type of material as human pollution...

my question is.... have any scientist studied the result of our manipulation of various types of wave lengths such as radio, uv, micro, gamma, etc...

would any manipulation of these types of waves affect the magnetism of the earth and as a biproduct affect the atmosphere the magnetic belts develop and protect?

mans use of electricity and other wave manipulations match global warming trends more than the use of fossil fuels which have a longer period of use, or could it be more of a combination of things

Answer 1

First of al, you were told wrong--such volcanic eruptions are extremely rare--and there have been none of that scale recently enough to have ANY effect.  That particular myth, BTW--was spread by the oil companises (specifically Exxon/Mobile--see teh Royal Socity (UK) website--they are the ones who exposed Exxon's misinformation campaign).

And yes, scientists have hecked the possibility of all sorts of causes.  Contrary to the propaganda of the right-wing, they've spent the last 20 years studying this problem--and only concluded that greenhous gases released by burning fossil fuels was theprimary cause AFTER checking every possible cause, natural and human--and eliminating all the others.

And--there is no scientific dabate anymore on this point.  There was, of course--there always on any scientific topic until the questions have been answered.  But the verdict is in and the debate is over.  And you will not find ANY reputable scientist saying otherwise at this point.

Answer 2

It has to do with a combination of things

Answer 3

our manipulation of various types of wave lengths such as radio, uv, micro, gamma, etc... probly dont affect global warming much if they do at all

Answer 4

"i was told that an erupting volcano produces 10 to 100 times the amount of the same type of material as human pollution"

Ah, no.  I've heard this lie too many times.

IT'S A LIE FOLKS.

http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/V...

"Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 145-255 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.  This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts.

Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 24 billion tons per year.

Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea"

nope, it's us.

despite what the exxon liars would have you believe.
