  1. Global warming is a major concern for all...though the sad thing is the main reason in this kind of phenomenon belong to us..We are all suffering on this kind of catastrophe where in we still don't take the appropriate actions of right thing s to be done in order to contribute in this kind of global concern...We do feel the effect of this through major severe weather happening in different parts of the world for say in Baghdad which snowfall do occur..fast rate of melting the glaciers in Antarctica, Greenland in alarming rate..We should make this a better planet to live on...


  2. There is an increasing level of awareness that the global warming hype is a pack of lies but we still have a long way to go.  Most schools are now indoctrinating kids with the myth of man-made climate change and most mainstream media are still repeating the lies so it will take a long time to reverse the damage.

  3. In the heavy propaganda light empirical proof stage.

  4. Clearly the awareness about "global warming" is that it is a scheme devised by the gvmt, and gvmt scientist.  More people are seeing that this for the fraud that it is.

    No one in the world can tell you if it's going to be warmer or cooler 5 years from now.

  5. How more aware do you want people to be?

    It's all over the media.

    If people aren't aware of global warming by now, they never will be.

    Now, what is sad is that most are not aware of the FACTS. They buy into the Al Gore propaganda.

  6. Science is not a consensus activity

    1.  Science is not a consensus activity

    2.  _All_ scientists do NOT agree

    3.  Even the socialistic EU "scientists" are

    backpedalling on their GW stance

    4.  Global warming, like global cooling is part of the

    natural climatic cycle.  

    5.  There have been many such cycles in Earth's

    history.

    6.  Earth is presently in the last stages of an ice

    age and was considerably warmer for most of its

    history.

    7.  Floating ice occupies the same volume as would the

    liquid water that comprises it.

    8.  Even if the ocean levels rise the alarmist 28

    feet, just move away from the beach.

    9.  Warmer climate means more crop growing area.

    10.  Water is not going anywhere. Except for what we

    have shot into space with rockets, there is the same

    amount as there always was.

    Thermohaline cycle

    Warm water is less dense than cold water. One of the ocean currents runs North up the east coast of the U.S.

    When this warm ocean water reaches the arctic ocean, it is cooled which makes it become more dense.  The now dense salt water drops to the sea floor and begins its return to the southern loop of its cycle.

    Fresh water from meltoff of the northern ice pack dilutes this sea water which makes it less dense.

    The diluted, less dense water drops to the sea floor more slowly which slows the entire cycle.

    If diluted enough, this circulation stops entirely.

    When the circulation stops, then the planet will begin to cool and enter an ice age which will stop the meltoff.

    As the salinity in the north Atlantic increases, the water will once again begin to sink to the sea floor and the cycle will restart and our planet will emerge from its ice age and enter another warm period.

    That is happening now.  

    It will change.

    Humans did not cause it.

    Humans cannot stop it.

  7. yawn.

    Check Junk Science for real information.

    One word. HOAX.

  8. Well, the world's leading climate scientists agree that human activities are "very likely" contributing to the speeding up of natural climate change. A lot of people (myself included) are happy to believe the work of the professionals. However a large proportion of the general public seem to consider themselves better climate scientists and, as can be witnessed on this site, are happy to voice their opinions despite the fact that they are obviously totally ignorant and appear to willingly believe the first search result that crops up when they google 'global warming' or 'climate change'.

    So, awareness of the issue is quite high, but belief isn't.

  9. Let's see:  It took the Catholic church 360 years to pardon Galileo for saying the Sun was the center of the Solar System...and less than 20 years to revert to a anthropocentric view of the universe.  I'd say the message has been spread pretty thick globally.  Congrats!  Here's to another 360 years of trying to explain how the Sun, not man, warms the Earth...

    Cheers!

  10. Funny that people make a claim, like global warming, and they ask you to disprove it never minding the fact that they never proved it in the first place. Ask them the following questions.

    Ask them why they are remiss to exclude the biggest factor in global warming period...THE SUN!

    The activities of sun spots are the biggest indicator and predictor of global temperatures.

    The main questions concerning global warming are simple:

    1. Is the temperature going up (and in the last decade it hasn't)?

    2. What is the period of time to consider when determining this, years, decades, centuries, mileniums, or millions or billions of years(and in any significant sense of time, we are in a cool spell).

    3. If the temperature is up, is it due to the activities of man (and HOW is this determined?) or rises in C02?

    4. What part of the atmosphere is C02 (probably less than even 5 %).

    5. What % of this rise in C02 (if it exists) is due to man (probably less than 5%).

    6 So the total % of this atmospheric mess is due to 5% of 5%, if it is at all true.

    7. People Lie!

    "Scores of scientific papers show that the medieval warm period was real, global and up to 3C warmer than now. Then, there were no glaciers in the tropical Andes: today they're there. There were Viking farms in Greenland: now they're under permafrost. There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none.

    The Antarctic, which holds 90 per cent of the world's ice and nearly all its 160,000 glaciers, has cooled and gained ice-mass in the past 30 years, reversing a 6,000-year melting trend. Data from 6,000 boreholes worldwide show global temperatures were higher in the Middle Ages than now. And the snows of Kilimanjaro are vanishing not because summit temperature is rising (it isn't) but because post-colonial deforestation has dried the air. Al Gore please note.

    In some places it was also warmer than now in the Bronze Age and in Roman times. It wasn't CO2 that caused those warm periods. It was the sun. So the UN adjusted the maths and all but extinguished the sun's role in today's warming."

    8. I can go on and on....

  11. The real question is, is there really global warming? and if there is, is it because of us? There is so much information out there that contradict the other side. h**l the scientists cant even agree. Its all about which propaganda you want to believe. I will sit this one out until more data comes in. In any case I think we are doing a poor job getting away from petroleum products. I don't think batteries are the answer either. We would save the air but our soil would be contaminated. Lets be honest, most batteries would end up in our local dump. Check out this link below and ask yourself, why isn't our government and auto makers running with this? The answer is, not much money can be made.

  12. We're in a state of paranoia for no reason.

    That's where we are.

  13. Im pretty sure anyone who has access to any type of media, has heard about the global warming theory. the problem is that not many people belive this, which is holding everything back. many people dont believe it because they dont want to or they fear it. others just dont see the proof and wont accept the proof given.

    And for those who dont belive about global warming, you dont need fancy scientific experiments to prove global warming is taking place. come to the carribbean for 5 years and then tell me that the earth isnt warming. if it was a just a climate change, then it wouldnt be so drastic.

  14. In North America (and judging by the responses in this forum), I would suggest right at the very, very beginning.

    There are many people around the world who are much more aware (e.g. Bangladesh where thousands have lost their homes to rising sea levels).

    Once Americans take their head out of the sand and get over being in denial then we may just possibly avoid disaster

  15. We are all more than aware about 'Global Warming' since it is constantly being 'shoved down our throats' on a daily basis.

    The fact is that it is natural events which cause global  climate changes and NOT caused by man.

    It is only arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity which would make us believe otherwise.

    We now have another factor to consider in this equation however, and that is greed!

    The people who promote these myths are only interested in brainwashing the public and refuse to accept scientific facts!

    The facts would only prove how wrong they are.

    If people could just be bothered enough to learn some extremely basic science, they would realize how dangerous this path that we are on really is, and how we are all being 'Ripped Off'!
