What should the Temperature be today?
How much rain should we have?
How much snow?

Since GW is true then we should know the answers to these questions so we can get the climate back to where it needs to be.

Any scientist that doesn't know the answers to these questions woud not be a credible source. But this shouldn't happen because all scientists are in consensus, so that means they have all reviewed the data and will know these answers.

ok I have a heating question it has recently turned winter and my electricity bills have shot up I think due to the 2kwh electric heater that I have, now I was told that if I got and oil filled heater it would be cheaper, now assuming that I got a 2kwh oil heater how much would it cost to run per hour, I worked out the electric one costs me 21pence per hour. Would oil be cheaper and how much would it be?

What is it about Hybrid vehicles that people are willing to spend five to ten thousand dollars more than a regular car? Is the mileage that much better?

Has it been warmer in past global climates than today? Yes it has.
Have atmospheric CO2 levels in the past been higher in than today? Yes it has.
Are climatologists aware of past climates? Oh yes, they are very well aware.
In fact the above information is spelled out clearly and completely in the IPCC report. Climatologists are not hiding any information from the public. It's published on the web free for all to read. There is no conspiracy to get your money, seize your SUV or make you wear a loin cloth, love beads, and flowers in your hair.

So deniers, taking the above information into account, why do you suppose climate change is different now? Why are you being warned of the dangers of global warming and being urged to find environmental friendly alternatives to fossil fuels?

I have read that the single greatest contributing factor to global warming is methane gas, the majority of which is produced by decaying plant matter in asian rice paddies, not from the industrialized west. Is this true?? If so why isn't Gore & Co. demanding they develop alternative food sources???

According to the following website, mass transit emits half the CO2 emissions as passenger cars per mile. Instead of spending as much on highways, should most states take highway funds out of their budget, and use that money to increase mass transit funding?

Some of the smartest people in existence (climate scientists) are telling us that our reliance on fossil fuels is putting us on a path toward catastrophic results. Some of the less intelligent people claim that these scientists are either part of some elaborate scam or are complete idiots.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArWwA7u27SODHeZEr2j6ctTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071205150603AAtbJBq

The question is, will our species as a whole do enough to avoid the predicted catastrophic consequences, or will those who doubt the scientists be able to prevent such action. Will enough people be willing to take enough action and make sufficient sacrifices to meet the major greenhouse gas emissions cuts proposed by the scientists?

Or are we smart enough to invent the technology to advance our society while unknowingly putting it on a dangerous path, but not smart enough to get off that path once we realize where it's headed?

Please explain why. Also, if you have any ideas about helping our earth, then please suggest them. I will be giving the best answer to anyone who explains the question and gives some ideas.

For the first time, more than 200 of the world's leading climate scientists, losing their patience, urged government leaders to take radical action to slow global warming because "there is no time to lose."

A petition from at least 215 climate scientists calls for the world to cut in half greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

"A lot of us scientists think the problem needs a lot more serious attention than it's getting and the remedies have to be a lot more radical," said Richard Seager, a scientist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

So if you think global warming isn't a threat to humans caused by humans, how do you know more about the subject than climate scientists? What kind of education and research experience do you have?

If you think there's significant debate among the scientific community, how do you explan this petition?

Can you finally admit that you're denying the facts and reality?

I spend a lot of time out doors and in the past years i have noticed that the self proclaimed protectors of the environment IE: the supposed "environmentalist's" that i have had the misfortune to meet seem to have been the bigger polluters and litterers.

Example: A couple of years ago I was camping in the Wilderness area in central Arizona. A group of environmentalist were camping near by. When they vaicated their campsite after a few days they left garbage and litter everywhere. They also destroyed the spring that I many small animals were getting water from, by thowing garbage, rocks and I think fecies into it.

I wish I could say that these people were not the norm of what I have met but I can't. I have gone to a few get togethers because they seemed like causes i supported. A few cleanup partys and that sort of thing. These things usually turned out to be rallys to convince people of global warming.(and i won't mention the mess these people left behind)

Irrespective of who generates more CO2 & CH4 gases, do you think we need to find ways to recycle these gases?" Due to the limitations of the Q-box, I had to pose the headline Q rather than this, the fully worded Q: "Irrespective of who generates more CO2 & CH4 gases, do you think we need to find ways to recycle these gases to ameliorate or reduce the adverse changes to local climates by Global Warming(GW) from the greenhouse effects of these gases in higher atmospheric concentrations?"
