Global Warming

That way there would be one less hour of daylight, and less time for the Earth to get warm.

i mean theres totall proff and you dont have to like al gore to believe it . Look at the enviorment , certain animals are becoming endangered thanks to the weather , look at the artic ice , its melting very fast , look at how bad the air is , all you need to do is walk outside for that one , and if you dont care about that then what about all the scientists who totally believe it , ok and if you dont believe that then what about the fact that this summer has record breaking heat , ( RECORD BREAKING!!!!) thats not normal , and what about all the huricanes in the past few years , we've seen many more than normal , and they have been much worse.......plain and simple every year the weather is getting worse , you cant even walk outside without sunscreen anymore , not because of a burn but because of the risk of skin cancer . and if you dont believe any of this ( oviously because your an idiot ) then why dont you just watch al gores movie....

WHY do so many people believe Big Oil paid idiots like Rush Limbaugh and Hannity etc about global warming? Big Oil stands to lose billions of dollars from CO2 reduction laws so they are fighting it with everythoing they have.. Why cant Conservative sheep see this?

I over heard someone say that this isent the first time that the polar ice caps have melted and the earth has gone though a global climate shift. Is this true or false.

Everyone was repeatedly told on tv, that the reason for the bad rainfall in the uk was the positioning of this jet stream, It is higher than it usually is this time of year. But what we were never told was a reason..Does anyone have one??? Why did the jet stream move, and what caused it?

do they realize that by saying this, they make people question their ability to form a coherent argument, and thereby lose all credibility? i think that argument technique was popularized in the dark ages.

I personally question the effects of humans on global warming, partially because of these people.

By the way...I am God, and if you don't believe that, you are a moron.

How can we fight global warming and look for alternative gas when corn gas still needs gasoline to work? Are we going about it the wrong way? With all the mordern technology we could drill for oil and gas with out mess around with the environment. Which we should do because it would be very stupid of us to give the people we are fight money for gas to live and therefore giving them money in which to find a ways and means to fight us. So are we biting the hand that feeds us.

Once science is proven, once we know the facts, isn't it time to stop funding the research? After all, how much money does it take to keep on proving something is right?

It's time to shut down climate research since we now have accurate computer models that can do the job for us.

We no longer have to study what we know as fact. It’s now time to move on to other science that needs discovering!

the earth does this every few thousand years, it's in every science book. there was what was called "The LIttle Ice Age" in 1100-1400 and a heat wave before and after that. It's a proven fact that vegitation grew in Iceland and Greenland just 400-500 years ago from warming just like this one. I don't understand how this time, it's man's fault the earth is just following it's scientific pattern. Someone tell me how this is wrong please.

How long will it take before everyone realises the Global Warming hoo-har is bunkum? Isn't it all a political charade to prevent Third World progress and industrialisation; progress that would upset the Western economy?

Seeing as CO2 is less than 1% of the atmosphere, how much of that <1% is man made and can it be measured? Does it really have an effect? More so than say water vapour in the form of clouds?

The Earth is meant to warm up and cool down, that's the nature of a dynamic, enclosed environment. Carbon Footprints are a product of marketing departments to ensure you (and me) part with our cash in taxes and 'green friendly' products.

Don't be hoodwinked peeps, it's all about Business and Governments getting their hands on your money!

Hmmm, ever heard the saying: "a vegan in a hummer will produce less greenhouse gases than a carnivore on a bicycle" ?
The number one way to cut back on our greenhouse gas emmissions is to stop the factory farms. Livestock is the biggest contributor to the greenhouse gases, yet, most of you are still eating meat. Regardless of that fact, It's all a bunch of political crap right now anyways, We as humans really don't contribute that much, even with the livestock. It is all inevitable. Yes, we should try to cut back on producing the greenhouse gases, but it won't reverse anything.
Just thought I'd let you all in on the little secret that :

If you're eating meat on your plate and bitching about how nobody else is helping save the environment, stuff it. You're contributing more than gas guzzling suv drivers. You're a liar and a hypocrite if you say you care about all this global warming stuff while eating that burger.

It's been said here that the global warming models are not available to the public. That statement is flat wrong. It no doubt came from repeating denier propaganda from politically biased websites.

It took me all of 5 minutes to find this one. I'm sure there are more available publicly.

Now, I'm very dubious of the technical ability of anyone here (except Trevor) to get this up and running. But it's available, complete with extensive documentation.

http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/ccsm3.0/

So there it is. Have fun with it. I look forward to proof that global warming is not man made. As does the rest of the scientific community. No one has managed to prove that yet, though many have tried.

Notice that the question says "contributed to", not "caused".

Joseph Romm, for whom I have a lot of respect (former Acting Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy and author of 'The Hype About Hydrogen' and 'Hell and High Water') writes:

"the question isn’t whether modern bridges are built to cope with extremes, but whether more extremes than anyone might have designed for contributed to the unusual collapse of a “structurally deficient” bridge. As noted, the NTSB itself has not ruled out the weather as a contributing factor."

http://climateprogress.org/2007/08/06/did-climate-change-contribute-to-the-minneapolis-bridge-collapse/

So I'm curious as to what people think about this. Could the current climate change be significant enough to have contributed to this bridge's collapse, or is this theory a stretch?

By reducing our co2 emissions are we preventing another ice age or just slowing down the process?

I don't think it is. A lot of people I know think this weather is what is gonna melt the polar ice caps. I know it's just a common thing that we have had in the past. We had some hot summers in the 80s and 90s. I remember the summer of 2002 when it was in the 100s for a whole week straight.

I remember when we all had the extreme cold on Easter Sunday 2007.
Even as far South as Florida it was cold on Easter Sunday.
With December like weather. Remember that?

Whats exactly is Global Warming? Last year was my last year of high school, and my science teacher said that due to Global Warming, the Earth and everyone in it will be dead in about 20 to 30 years. is that true? can scientists predict when Global Warming will kill us? Is there any way to get rid of the Global Warming, or at least slow it down?
