Global Warming

Do you believe global climate change is effected by man?

Is Al Gore an important source of your information regarding this subject?

Does recent satellite data show the Earth to be warming, or cooling?

Do you consume soybean products, or tofu?

Is 'global warming' a reality, or a theory?

Humans tend to cut down trees and use the land for agriculture. This has been happening for thousands of years. Is this the real cause of global warming? Are gas guzzlers and coal power plants just salt in the wound, causing pain and blame? But the wound would still be fatal without them?

If this is the case, why is the world so focused on such pain and blame, and not focused on the real cause, and what to do about it? Can't we somehow undo the effects of deforestation?

What would happen if every city and county were to plant hundreds or thousands of giant redwood trees? In WWII people had victory gardens. Why can't we use the same principle as victory gardens to have clean air parks? Millions of parks around the world with land devoted to reversing global warming by consuming carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen? Whatever plants grow best in each climate and contribute the most oxygen.

Would this make sense? Or what don't I understand?

Fact 1.) The climate changes.
Fact 2.) The climate has been changing for billions of years.
Fact 3.) The tempurature varies by hundreds of degrees around the planet.
Fact 4.) The planet has been much hotter and much colder than it is now.
Fact 5.) The Ice sheets have been melting and refreezing for millions of years.
Fact 6.) Those who disagree with the "man-made global warming theory" Still believe that pollution should be kept to a minimum and completely stopped if ever possible.

Do you think that muscians and buinesspeople have started the whole "save the environment" thing now that its popular? Or do you think people would have done it anyway? Because when people first started talking about global warming not many people really seemed to care. I'm not saying its bad that they are supporting the environment it but I am questioning their motives.

I believe that global warming may be true, but I don't believe tha ther is evidence that it is caused my human activity. I believe that we are in an dynamic climate that will change whit or without people.

As I recall, it was a hell of a blast that influenced the climate.

How much did it cool the earth by?

Quite a bit, so much so that today's global warming only makes up for the change that Krakatoa cooled us down by.

Hey, does that that we are not Gods and do not control the planet?

Of course warming is a natural occurence - just like ice ages (otherwise there would be no term for an ice age...). The question is not whether temperature changes are natural, the question is whether we are changing the natural cycle - accelerating it or even amplyfying it.
The CO2 in the air can be measured as far back as 100,000 years ago, and it has been shown to be directly related to the temperature cycles. The current CO2 levels are directly tied to our pollution, and are higher than any other time in the last 100,000 years. The question is not whether we are changing the natural cycle - the question is how much, and whether we can reverse the effects.

what do you see as Global Warming and do you think it is true i personally think it is a scam to get you to vote for the democrates because they say they are going to do something about it and they will just raise taxes alot to "help" it and actually use the money for some other thing and say they are fixing Global Warming.

What are some examples of change (cauesd by the effect of global warming) which scientist are unsure? How could “one event” help change public perception about the issue more quickly?

Whether or not GW is primarily caused by humans and whether or not reducing human greenhouse gas emissions will have any effect on it, we have 2 options: either reduce emissions or don't.

If we don't reduce emissions, we're taking the risk that a large percentage of climate scientists whose models have predicted dangerous global temperature increases are correct. In effect, we're riksing the possibility of catastrophic climate change. We continue burning fossil fuels in the hope they're wrong.

If we do reduce emissions, we not only play it safe with regards to global warming, but we also reduce our dependence on foreign oil, improve health (CO2 is not the only biproduct of burning these fuels), and improve energy efficiency which means economic savings in the long run.

To me that short-term investment means a long-term benefit on several levels. A win-win, if you will. So GW skeptics - explain to me why the first scenario is the smart one.

And is this affected by other parts of Mars cooling or Venus cooling and does the fact that Mars has virtually no atmosphere, no life, no water and is incomparable to Earth have any effect?

And because NASA say the warming on parts of Mars isn't due to the sun and not related to warming on Earth does this mean that warming on Earth is due to the sun or could there be some other reason?

Can you help me out with this?

ExxonMobil are offering $10,000 (plus expenses) to scientists and economists who refute the latest IPCC report on climate change. http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,2004397,00.html

All I need is some reliable evidence to refute global warming.

There's money to be made here so please come up with some good evidence.

The Average worldwide temperature has risen over the last 50 years.

The average temperature has remained the same over the last 100 Years.

The average temperature has dropped over the last 20 years.

I can choose a block of 100 years out of the laf few thousand and move it forward and backwards a few years and change the average temp up or down.

How can it be said the Earth is getting warmer with such inconclusive data?

If you are over 40, you remember the smog over our cities back in the 60's and 70's. the smogs properties reflected the suns rays back into space which in turn cooled the planet...now, no smog and it's getting warmer..seems to me we need more pollution than less of it if we want to cool the planet. now follow me closely folks..what if we turn all our earthly belongings over to the stalinist pigs over at the u.n. to save the planet..we will want results for our investments right? cooler days and all...Do you think it possible that algore and his ilk could start re-introducing all the "black particulate matter" into the air out of our sight to cool the planet just to keep taking in money? is it not plausible? please tell me how i'm wrong in this line of thinking.

Greetings,

I remember reading in Discover magazine about the three gases that are believed to contribute or control climate change, but I have disposed of the issue.

Can someone tell me what those three gases were?

I believe two were carbon and methane, but what was the third? The article also contained a chart showing the relationship of the three throughout time, is it available somewhere online?

thanks

i remember growing up in the sixties and seventies, every major city was enveloped in smog and pollution, they are never like that now, perhaps l.a., but every city used to look like l.a. back then...and it was much cooler, ....hmmm. now wait a second, there was more smog back then and it was cooler, not much sun getting through....now, not so much smog and it's getting warmer....more sun getting THROUGH! OMFG! GET ME ALGORE ON THE HORN RIGHT FREAKING NOW!

With Nancy Pelosi declaring Greenland a global warming disaster, it brings to mind that the Vikings (or Norse) settled the region at least 600 years ago. Farming implements were found, suggesting the climate was quite warm back then.

If it was that warm in our recent history, why worry so much about today's warming trend?
