Global Warming

Some people (damn long hairs, a.k.a Hippies) go on and on and on...and on...about how global warming is going to make it difficult for future generations to get to Argos on a Saturday and collect the dole cheque each week because the rising sea levels as a result of Global Warming will flood all the roads blah blah blah.

But surely tackling these problems caused by Global Warming will keep the future generations in jobs i.e boat making, conservation, flood defences, lifeguarding and Tea Towel manufacture? Will it not?

This link is to a web page which lists the "media stories ascribing the cause of everything under the sun to GLOBAL WARMING."

So my question is this - is there anything they missed?

A few favorites -
Atlantic LESS Salty / Atlantic MORE Salty
Business Opportunities / Business Risks

Oh here's a good one - Circumcision in Decline (???)

And the ever popular "Earth to Explode"

So, has anyone got a list of things NOT caused by "Global Warming?"

Here's an article that shows that a man was fined $1,000 from the State and $1,000 from the Federal governments for running his 1981 diesel Mercedes on biofuels.

Since politicians are running for office on promoting energy independence, why don't they repeal the laws that punish independent researchers?

Or is congress tied to the interest of big oil?

If this isn't proof that the global warming alarmists are a bunch of wackos, then it sure hints that they are a bunch of dupes.

Global warming? Yes, probably! Man made? Uncertain! Sun influenced? Absolutely, and the sun is so powerful compared to anything man can do that what the sun does will decide what happens on earth. Nothing man can do can override the power of the sun.

I just read the novel STATE OF FEAR and it came up with different ideas about global warming ie; based on land use not carbon dioxide, also that maybe we are just in a earth cycle just like ice ages

So what is Scientific Proof?

How do scientists come to the conclusion that something is PROVEN?

How do you feel about climate science research funding? Should it be increased, stay the same, cut, or eliminated altogether? Please defend your answer.

As a side note, how do you think this particular answer got 21 best answer votes while the second-most got 3?

McKinsey & Company, a business consultant group published the report called "Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Emissions: How Much at What Cost?" with The Conference Board, a research group.

The US could reduce projected 2030 emissions of greenhouse gases by between 33-50% at manageable costs to the economy, the report found. Its mid-range case found that cutting 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from the United States by 2030 would cost an average about $50 billion annually, or a total of $1.1 trillion.

That would represent 1.5 percent of the $77 trillion in real investment the U.S. economy is expected to make over the period, it said.

About 80 percent of the reductions could be made using technologies already proven in the United States or elsewhere in the world, the report said.

For those claiming it will be too expensive to tackle global warming - what do you make of this report?

Past climate changes saw CO2 lagging temperature. I'd like the climate sceptics to explain WHY CO2 lagged temperature then and isn't now. It would be nice if you could please reference a science journal article showing method they used to come to their conclusions so I can really read the study (a real science journal article, not a video or blog article or a web site that receives money from advertising).
Once you have explained that, could you tell me how you know that the CO2 rising in the atmosphere today isn't from fossil fuels? Then lastly, why do you suppose that the southern ocean is becoming saturated in CO2?
Melting glaciers and acidifying oceans don't lie, the earth is warming

He criticizes specific points in the movie about exactly how soon and how bad the effects will be, but he acknowledges that it is occurring and man-made.

Gore seems to have gone just a bit overboard, should we start to distance from him in order to get wider support for the movement and actually save the environment?

I personally cannot comprehend how humans can possibly change the climate of the earth. Sure, carbon emissions effect the climate but don't our oceans emit an amount of CO2 that compltelely dwarfs any amount that's produced anywhere by humans? Also, every animal on the earth emits CO2 along with many plants. And lets not forget the fact that the climate has gone through extended periods of global cooling and warming in the past WAY beforte humans even existed! Wheres the hard evidence? (No Gore-isms please, that guy doesn't have a clue).

Just looking at the questions-and-answers here on Y!A it's obvious that there are two distinct camps on the issue of climate change. Those advocating that the changes in our weather are part of a "normal" cycle and those campaigning that climate change is a result of damage we are doing to the planet.

What would be a "tipping point" for those denying that climate change is occurring because of us and revise their opinion?

I wrote a question about Yellowstone and GW effects and a lot of people said CO2 would be responsible for GW effects in the long term. On (whatever) show I was watching, the narrator specifically said that the dust cloud that formed immediately afterwards could not have been responsible for the unusual cold spell that lasted for a while. I used the abbreviation SO2 which is where a lot of respondants apparently thought I was refering to CO2. But, it does bring up the question why volcanoes supposedly submit so much CO2 if the Krakatoa one caused problems by emitting too much SO2?
(BTW, I am not trying to be rude but it does make me very doubtful about the statement that CO2 from volcanoes is part of GW.)
