What do u think about global warming?

Question

what are u doing about it?

Answer 1

The theory of man-made global warming is false.  Anyone who believes otherwise has not investigated the evidence or is purposely remaining ignorant to the legitimate opposition to global warming.  I have given up an one and a half hours to watch “An Inconvenient Truth” so I ask you to do the same and watch the movie detailing the opposition.

Another general resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warm...

CO2 is not causing the globe to warm the opposite is true, the warming is increasing the atmospheric CO2.  When the world heats it gradually increases the temperature of the oceans which serve as the largest CO2 sink.  As the oceans heat up they release CO2 which is stored in them.  The information comes from the same data Al Gore uses, the temperature always goes up before the concentration of CO2 goes up.

http://www.lavoisier.com.au/papers/artic...

CO2 makes up only .03% of our atmosphere.  Water vapor, another greenhouse gas, makes up 1-4% of our atmosphere, this gas is acknowledged to be the main greenhouse gas.  All human activities combined contribute only 6 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere each year.  Animals, through respiration, decomposition, etc contribute 150 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere.  So humans contribute only a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere which is already in very small concentrations in the atmosphere.

http://oco.jpl.nasa.gov/science.html This is where my data came from, it is an interesting site, it displays the same graphics as Al Gore in his movie but it tells how low the human contribution is.  So Al Gore is using the same data but coming to a different conclusion, who do you want to believe a politician with no scientific training or the NASA CO2 laboratory, a group of scientists who spend their entire careers studying CO2.

We know the greenhouse effect is real it is a necessary effect to keep our planet at a habitable temperature.  However if our current warming is due to greenhouse gasses it would cause warming in the troposphere , but the troposphere is actually getting cooler.

http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature... That points to other explanations to our current warming.

So what is causing our current warming, it is the sun.

The fact that only the earth’s surface is warming points to direct heating from the sun rather than heating due to greenhouse gasses.  Also other planets in our solar system are warming pointing to a common cause of warming, that common cause being the sun.

The global warming crowd says our glaciers are melting and animals will suffer this is another false claim.

http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2Sci...

http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA235.htm...

http://www.worldclimatereport.com/

the global warming crowd also claims a scientific consensus on the issue, this is wrong in two ways.  One, there is no consensus, this is a false claim to make you believe in global warming by suppressing the opposition.  http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm

Second, even if there was a consensus it would mean nothing, science is not politics, you don’t vote on theories to determine their legitimacy.

The IPCC is the main supporter of global warming, their statements are defended blindly by people who don’t want to admit that global warming is not real.  People will claim that they took into account natural sources of CO2, they didn’t.  Take a look for yourself:

http://www.ipcc.ch/activity/srccs/index....  That is the latest IPCC report, read the entire report, do a search of the documents, there is absolutely no mention of natural sources of CO2.  The natural sources have been completely ignored.  Also people will claim that the IPCC took the sun into account in their report, this is not entirely correct, while the sun is mentioned the report it’s effects have not been accurately represented.

http://www.john-daly.com/forcing/moderr....  The IPCC did not take into account the Svensmark factor.  This would greatly reduce the effect of solar radiation on the earth.  Look back up to the solar resources to see the effect of the sun correctly represented.

Also allegations have been by IPCC scientists who disagreed with the IPCC statements.  They say that their research was censored or taken out of the IPCC report.  This is not the first time the IPCC has lied, they forged the famous “hockey stick” graph, which later resulted in a reissuing of the IPCC report.

Quotes form politicians, CEO’s, and others are not proof of global warming, they issue these statements to get votes and customers.  Scientists are able to get published and get time on the media by supporting global warming.  The IPCC continually lies and misrepresents data so they keep their jobs.  

In regards to the precautionary principle that says we can only help if we switch over to alternative energy, this idea is not correct.  While this may seem legitimate it only helps the first world, third world countries can not afford to switch to the more expensive energy options.  Also the US currently spends 4 billion dollars a year on global warming research which could be better spent on research for disease or to fight poverty.  For an excellent example of how the precautionary principle is harmful you do not need to look further than DDT.  This pesticide was cheap and incredibly effective but it was banned because of it harmful effects on egg shells.  Now thousands of people die every year in third world countries because of malaria, a disease that could be easily controlled with DDT.

I hope anyone who believes in global warming they will take a look at the resources I provided.  These resources should convince you that global warming is not man-made, it is caused by cycles in the earths climate.  If you are not convinced I hope you at least take a new look at global warming as an unproven idea.  Remember that global warming is big business for anyone who aligns themselves with it.

I could not go this entire post without mentioning global cooling.  In the 1970’s it was claimed that there was a consensus on the fact that the world was headed into an ice age.  We have seen once before how damaging a false claim about our climate change can be to our world.  Most of the global warming crowd does not want you to know about this scare because it is so similar to the scare today.  Government panels were formed and claimed the world was headed to an ice age, evidence poured in supporting the claim, a consensus was claimed, then the whole issue just faded away.  That is what will happen with the false scare of global warming.

Answer 2

I think it's really harmful, and that we should all join the fight to save our planet! I really don't like those people who don't care or don't believe it...I mean, they are going to be affected too. Also, to people who think that weather changes like the one that's happening now are normal, think again. Have there ever been more floods and hurricanes, even when it was warm? I'm doing lots of things to help, such as the things listed on my profile and more. Hope this helped, and hope you'll help stop global warming!

Answer 3

I own and am therefore the steward of 300+ acres of trees and watershed. Good enough?

Oh, you mean Al Gore's spoon-fed c**p. Sorry.

Answer 4

well I think its a lot of political hype unless we have figured out a way to tamper with the sun. I think its way overblown. I think its a buch of environmental whackos just trying to fullfill their agenda. when I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's  I saw the commercials about how we are destroying the rainforrests at a rate of  so many millions of acres per year. I saw these similar commercials well into the 90's, and my bet is if all this were true why are there still rainforests in existence?Doesnt it stand to reason they should have disappeared by now? Look I will dispose of my trash properly, I will recycle some but I am not jumping on the global warming bandwagon.so go give all the thumbs downs ya want

Answer 5

Here is what I do about global warming.

1. Wear shorts

2. Watch girls who wear shorts

3. Go to the beach

4. Watch the girls on the beach

5. Go boating

6. Go dirt biking

7. Hope that MTV does another week of spring break coverage

8. Work on my tan

9. Make fun of people who actually believe humans are causing global warming.

10. p**s AlGore off by holding public burnings of his retarded movie.

Answer 6

i think it doesn't matter whether it's man-made or not. fact is that global climate is changing and that it's due to CO2. fact is also, that the effects will lower the quality of many lives on this planet, and not only in 3rd world countries. furthermore, there's the technology to reduce CO2 emissions without stopping economic growth and welfare. so why do people argue about who's right and who's wrong instead of finally doing something that might help (or in the "worst" case leave things as they are).  personally, i work in the field of efficiency-management in residential buildings. around 1/3 of all energy goes into warming and cooling your house and around half of that could easily be saved, without anybody getting unemployed or losing money...

Answer 7

MC your my hero,you got it right,as far as man using electricity,it astounds me how people say turn everthing off,unplug everything,change your light bulbs,not realizing,that demamds for electricity consumptions fall during the night.

Ant global warming,as far as  difference in the mean world temperature is caused by the sun,its gamma rays etc,and since there is no light switch for the sun,I hardly think we can do anything about it.

Answer 8

I think it is a bunch of made up mumbo jumbo.

Answer 9

Global warming sure beats winter hands down. :o) I'm contributing to the energy balance crunching numbers with my 32 processors as I type.

Answer 10

I think that this hysteria about this issue is nonsensical.  I worry about things I can control, and as such I'm not doing a thing about it.  Break out the suntan lotion LOL.

Answer 11

I'm not sure whether humans are the cause, but we definitely need to start conserving and genuinely caring about our home.  I definitely think that those who say it doesn't exist are in denial, but how much is it attributed to human industry?  We should conserve, just in case.  If we can't do anything about it, we can't do anything about it?  But if we CAN, we shouldn't risk it.

Answer 12

I think it should be stopped. Before most animals die out and I think global warming is mostly caused by humans.

Answer 13

It's true, anybody who has eyes can see that.

I hate the people that don't believe in it, they might as well die this very minute. They are so stupid and stubborn not to believe that we are destroying our home.

I am doing every single thing I can to help stop it. I recycle, turn stuff off, etc.

It is a proven fact that it is happening, and everyone should be aware of it.

Answer 14

it to late to reverse the affects.

Answer 15

I think global warming is a natural effect. We have been here for such a short time how can we be so worried. We have proven that there have been several ice ages. So how can we say that we cause global warming when it has happened before man was even here.
