Global Warming

I see graphs that have them, and graphs that do not. I have read that they tie in with sunspot activity, and I have read sunspots have nothing to do with the earth's temperature, tho I have read the recent sunspots have even warmed up Saturn in one news brief on Yahoo..

I see charts that show major warming every 100,000 years, more than todays, followed by a steep fall almost immediately into deep glacial conditions.

I read history that seems to support the MWP, and I hear of Environmentalists who deny there was such a thing.

Why is the MWP not studied, if it was real, and the data published for review? Why are the conditions for the 100,000 year peaks not being studied and causes published?

Why when I asked about the Martian warming I have heard about, I get data from 2004, not 2007, denying it?

Did historically during the MWP the Vikings find grapes growing in Greenland and/or Iceland. or not?

And many graphs show the temp varying in the same curves as sunspots. Why?

Anthropogenic (man-made) GW skeptics can't explain why atmospheric CO2 and global temperature are increasing at the same rate over the past 5 decades.

If humans aren't the primary cause of the current global warming, then what is? The sun can't account for it:

"the increase of solar activity could have, on average, contributed approximately 75% of the 1900–1950 global warming but only 25–35% of the 1980–2000 global warming."

http://www.fel.duke.edu/~scafetta/pdf/2005GL025539.pdf

It's not volcanoes - they cause global cooling. It's not water vapor - its concentration is dependent on global temperature

http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/mockler.html

If you can't explain why currently atmospheric CO2 and global temperature are increasing at nearly the same time and rate, and you can't explain what else would cause the GW, when will you admit that it's primarily caused by us?

The existing plants we have are getting old and use less safe technology, but modern techniques make these plants ultra safe. The waste can be easily disposed of and is small compared to toxic emissions of coal plants. So why don't we build them? Cheaper, cleaner energy. I'd welcome a new nuclear plant in my neighborhood.

to hydrogen? Or will they claim that the water vapor from the hydrogen cars are heating up the environment as well since we know water vapor accounts for most of the greenhouse effect?

Speaking of water vapor, doesn't combustion have TWO by-products, why did they choose to hype up one of those by-products while ignoring the other one?

Here are some facts that everyone should accept:

1) Historically, atmospheric CO2 increases have lagged behind (and amplified) global temperature increases by several centuries. This is an argument man-made GW skeptics often make, and it's true.

2) Currently, atmospheric CO2 concentrations and avg. global temperature are increasing at roughly the same time and rate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mauna_Loa_Carbon_Dioxide.png
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Instrumental_Temperature_Record.png

3) As a greenhouse gas, CO2 causes GW. It doesn't necessarily INITIATE GW - if something else has already initiated GW then CO2 will act as a feedback and amplify it - but increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations will cause GW to increase.

Now, if CO2 lags behind GW by centuries when something else initiates it, and CO2 and GW are currently increasing at the same time and rate, how do you account for this discrepancy if the current GW isn't primarily caused by humans?

an air conditioner, a large shrub, and a building made of brick?

How can an unbiased measurement of temperature be taken at one of these "microsites" when all of these objects can create a local variation in the temperature?

Are scientists so smart the can properly account for things like this?

What other problems are found at the actual sights of temperature measurement?

How does this constitute objectivity?

What are the street creds on carbon creds? Is the general opinion that carbon offset credits are beneficial and legitimate, or a 'green - scam'? If legitimate has anyone personally purchased them for themselves or given them as gifts?

My question is simple. If they are going to die out completely now if we do not resort to costly measures and surrender our freedoms as necessary to immediately reverse Global Warming, just why did they not die out in the Middle Ages warming?? No politicians and Alarmed Scientists to protect them then...how are they still around and thriving? And how did the Polar Bears make such a rapid comeback, or did the artic not melt in the middle ages?

Those countries that have fossil fuel in the ground will continue to sell it to anyone that wants it. Reducing your carbon footprint will only delay the inevitable and is a RED HERRING.
What politicians SHOULD be doing is finding ways of managing that inevitabilty and NOT sending us on wild goose chases.
NOTHING repeat NOTHING can take the place of Fluid Transportable Fuel (FTF) Diesel, Petrol & Gas etc. which is needed to plough fields, sow seeds, reap the harvest and distribute food for 6 billion people.
Solar Panels - NO
Batteries - NO
Wind turbines - NO
Nuclear - NO

Bi-Mass - Would be insufficient

I study Geography in school and I am wondering. Global warming is causing water shortages as water runs dry. Global warming is melting ice on the two poles and sea level will rise. So are there too much water or too little water?

Why was it so hot back then with a fully functioning Ozone layer? Surely it would have been freezing? And could global warming not be caused by the sun getting closer to us every year??? I know that the sun is getting colder but it is also getting closer, could this be another cause of the hole in the ozone layer, could it be burning thru from that side? Arent the problems caused by the heat getting in thru the hole and not being able to get back out of the layer so why not destroy the layer completely and let the heat bounce back???? Just a thought lol

Do cold places get hot? hot places get cold? In what extent?
Is that permanent? Can it be solved?

We provide an analysis of Greenland temperature records to compare the current (1995–2005) warming period with the previous (1920–1930) Greenland warming. We find that the current Greenland warming is not unprecedented in recent Greenland history. Temperature increases in the two warming periods are of a similar magnitude, however, the rate of warming in 1920–1930 was about 50% higher than that in 1995–2005.
