What do YOU think about Global Warming? A scam by businesses and governments or a real problem?

Question

Real help with my hmwk thanx

Answer 1

Global warming is a real problem.  The glaciers are now slowly, melting.  Cold seasons are getting shorter.  Polar Bears and other wildlife are already being affected.  No one stands to gain anything by the destruction of world climate balances.  All species are, thereby, endangered.

Answer 2

It's a "perfect storm" where the interests power-hungry politicians, misanthropic environmentalists and unscrupulous business operators have converged.  A handful of scientists with fraudulent data have had their lies endlessly repeated by the mass media so that the truth has been lost in the noise, just as Dr. Goebbels knew 70 years ago.

Answer 3

Sun spots are the major influence on our weather; nothing else is significant. I really look for a mini ice age due to the lack of sun spots over the last few years. Probably 3 or 4 hundred years only.

Al Gore should have stuck with inventing the Internet; this global warming thing makes him seem like a loon.

Answer 4

Global Warming is a normal function of the planet. AGW is nothing more than political hot air. Plants LOVE CO2. It makes them grow faster, which is why CO2 is as low as it is.

[just look at the atmosphere of Venus.]

Oh, and polar bears are breeding far faster than they are dying. Look into the real facts.

Answer 5

Real.  This is science and what counts is the data, not rhetoric.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us.  The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 6

It's a control money scam .

Answer 7

How can you think it's a scam when there are many obvious signs?

The polars bears dying, ice melting and breaking off, sea levels rising, and natural disasters occurring worldwide.

So yes it is a real problem that the world needs to cooperate and solve before it is too late.

Everything is laid out, go figure...

Answer 8

True because then it would be false advertising.
