What are some reasons for global warming ,And what are some examples

Specifically, I would like to see any pro AGW reports which deal with water vapor (the primary global warming agent), the decreasing ability of CO2 to warm as more is added to the system, and the effect of clouds to the global warming system.

I think if some of these issues were addressed in a scientific report, many sceptics would consider the theory plausible. For me, I find it impossible to believe in the theory when every article completely dismisses (or minimizes) these important issues. Also, a good explanation of why positive feedback is used by AGW fanatics instead of the most naturally occuring negative feedback. And PLEASE, do not refer to the "consensus" as scientific proof.

I only hear about negative results from global warming. But that does not seem to make sense. As we all know, Michael Mann wrote a report which introduced us to the "Hockey Stick" (yes it is debunked but stick with me here). He studied tree rings and used the size of the rings to estimate historic temperatures. I would have to assume that a larger tree ring implies a warmer climate. If this is the case, then does not his very report indicate that trees do in fact grow faster in a warmer climate?

" Gold's thesis in The Deep Hot Biosphere is simple: Hydrocarbons have been in existence since the earliest times of the universe, and are part of the process of planetary formation. Their constituents, hydrogen and carbon, originated in the "primordial soup" from which Earth was formed. Earth's methane and petroleum, Gold says, are abiogenic - without biological origin." A GREAT READ for THINKING PEOPLE!

I tend to believe this because in Russia they drilled over 7 miles deep to get to a VERY LARGE oil pool!
Logically how can that amount of biological matter sink that deep?

The fact of the matter is that we don't know what the climate will do in the future. The many factors input into climate models are not understood well enough for the models themselves to be used as fact.

"The bad news is that the climate models on which so much effort is expended are unreliable because they still use fudge-factors rather than physics to represent important [factors].... They are not yet adequate tools for predicting climate."- Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson

Couple of years ago USA Today had an article on a new project in St. Lucie County Fl. to use geoplasma technology to destroy garbage in a big way and turn it into power and a substance about like rock. www.geoplasma.com was the company involved. Just interested to know if the project is making progress or is technical problems preventing startup.

Scientists have long stated that global warming (the human induced part of it) is being caused by greenhouse gases. In fact, the whole theory of global warming is built around this premise.

But what if it were discovered that greenhouse gases weren't to blame and the warming was the result of some other human activity. Same warming, same consequences, same everything, just a different cause.

Would you still beleive the scientists? Would the new arguments have any credibility? Would you dismiss them as charlatans?

"Check the data about the eruption of Mount St. Helens. You will discover that it release thousands of times the "greenhouse gasses" than man has produced in our entire history. Then multiply that # by the amount of active volcanos in the last 10,000 years. I think it will make us seem somewhat insignificant." This was an A to this Q: How much of the recent warming has been caused by humans?
I would like to see arguments regarding how much of the warming over the past 100, 50, and/or 30 years has been caused by humans, and how much has been caused by other factors.

Pls provide evidence to support your argument. A's which do not provide supporting evidence will not be answering my question,& thus will be violating the community guidelines & will be reported"

The A was posted by someone who has yet to ask any Q at YA. Such people declare they have all the answers. & no Ignorance? So I have posed the Q for him.I believe all should put your assertions to the test of Public Opinion.

If the Indonesian Rainforests are being cut down to make way for the production of corn for bio fuels, and the burning off of stubble is throwing more CO2 into the atmosphere in one day than the UK throw up in a year, then what contribution are bio fuels making to saving the World from global warming?

I recently did some research on the new Honda FCX vehicle. In looking at the layout of the car i noticed that, in the rear, there is a tank of highly compressed hydrogen. Obviously this is necessary for a fuel cell to function but, in the event of a fire or a crash wouldn't this be similar to the Hindenburg? Is the gasoline tank of an ordinary car as prone to explosion? Would tanks of comparable size produce a similar explosion or would the hydrogen tank be even more volatile?
