What is your opinion of global warming?

Question

I have been doing a lot of research that has been peer reviewed and my findings suggest that global warming may not be as big of a threat as many suggest. In fact it may be no problem at all.

Answer 1

I'm thinking that you're not a doctor, you don't know what being peer-reviewed means, and you've done no research--so why should we believe your findings?

If I'm wrong, please post some of your references so that we can examine them. I'd love to see what you've written Dr. Smith, oops, Dr. K.

EDIT: bob326--excellent answer.  You're a credit to the skeptics!

Answer 2

Hmmm...I put your name into google scholar, and all I came up with was this:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Kwis...

So, where exactly are your findings published, "Dr." Kwisakiski (or Dr. Smith)?

Answer 3

No that is not right. See we have been putting this off for too long. We haven't cared about the greenhouse gases until now when there is a threat. Do you not notice a change in temperature? The summers didn't used to be so hot. It IS an issue that the later generations have left us to fix. We can slow it down, but not stop it. We NEED to act now! www.agreenfuture.piczo.com   It's a growing problem. Help it now.

Answer 4

I think the world is going through a cycle. If you look back in prehistoric times, you'll notice the climate was much more intense and high. The whole world was tropical. As the earth cycled, there where years that where cooler and cooler then the years got hotter and hotter. It is a cycle. After you've look at it that way, you also know that we as humans adapt to the climate as it gradually changes. It really isn't that big of a threat.

Answer 5

Read the Bible.  It talks about global warming for the end but you will find that the earth as been warming up for thousands of years.  So the end is no were near.  

Answer 6

The Global Warming scam!

Extremist groups share a common perception about the world. They are anti-science, anti-technology, anti-trade, anti-globalization - not just free trade, but all trade.

People who embrace extremist views and philosophies believe all large machines are inherently evil, and - worse - science is used to justify positions "that actually have nothing to do with science."

These viewpoints are naive, including the oft-stated wish to return to a "Garden of Eden." How ironic, that these same people use cell phones, laptops and jet planes as the main tools of their trade.

Answer 7

i thinking global warming sucks....bcoz the climate is getting worse, it seems lyk there are 2 seasons instead of four...man you need two realise that the world is falling a part....lyk a dicomposing animal..bit by bit

dnt deny it

Answer 8

its happening but alot of people just dont care.  

Answer 9

You're asking this question in the wrong place Dr. If you're doing research on it, you should try publishing it.  Try putting it on AAAS.com so that other Ph. D.'s can look over it and give their opinions on it.  

When you say stuff like "I've been doing a lot of research"  it sounds a lot like someone who's just bored and wanted to ask a question about global warming.

Answer 10

I think there are a bunch of extremist pushing the idea and ignoring the facts. The earth has been through warming and cooling cycles before, now there are people ignoring the sunspot activities which will cause global cooling.

Answer 11

Global warming is a total lie.

Answer 12

i really don't care because the end of the world is coming anyway

Answer 13

Real, mostly caused by us.

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement saying that.  The eminent National Academy of Sciences gives the prevailing opinion.

"The scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to begin taking steps to prepare for climate change and to slow it. Human actions over the next few decades will have a major influence on the magnitude and rate of future warming. Large, disruptive changes are much more likely if greenhouse gases are allowed to continue building up in the atmosphere at their present rate. However, reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require strong national and international commitments, technological innovation, and human willpower."

Answer 14

It's just a natural cycle.

Answer 15

idk just take care of the earth! it'll happen sum day!

Answer 16

scam.

Answer 17

Whether it exists or not, we have humans are destroying this planet little by little.

Like everything else in Science, things change with the centuries. Who is to say things wont change in the next 10-20 years or even 5?

Better to be safe than sorry, dont you think.

And asian countries who allow burning paper offerings to the dead (Hungry Ghost Month) throughout the month of  August, should not point fingers at Indonesia and their burning forests.

What happens during this month of appeasement to the dead is that thousands of chinese burn paper offerings. This creates the same potential dangers. Not to mention littering !

So to those asian countries I say , STOP your own enviornment hazards before pointing fingers at others !

Answer 18

it does not exist.

Answer 19

we take out health insurance even though we know that nothing might happen to us... the same with the earth even say that okay global warming doesn't exist but aren't you happy that we made the change instead of not making it and killing million of people >.>

Answer 20

I do believe its a problem, look at the polar ice caps if you want some proof.

I'm afraid that people just don't care enough. But seriously. if everyone just did one small thing, like unplugging an appliance when not in use, or shortening your shower, the problem would be reduced.

I'd recommend you work on your research, because you've obviously missed something. No offense intended.  

Answer 21

Remember peer review is a very low standard.  Give a paper about "Global Warming" being a natural occurrence to someone else who believes the same, and the chances are very good that your paper will pass peer review.

Scientist know that the Sun's activity is the cause for all warming on Earth.  There's just those who are making money from the belief that it's man made who are keeping the lie going.

Answer 22

Answer 23
