Steven Harper (CANADA - thus making us the bad guys) when all he is asking is that developed countries like the United States, China, and India (developed meaning they are the biggest offenders when it comes to polluting) be INCLUDED in the deal?

What good is it if every other countries has these STRICT rules imposed on them and yet the biggest polluters still get to carry on as always? Why even BOTHER?

With scientists and experts BEGGING politicians and claiming immediate action is required just to HALT the effects of global warming (drying up of our fresh water resources and drastic climate effects like drought and flooding) taking 20 years to halt before even expecting to see any reversals, so why oh why are the GOOD guys, the BAD guys here?

Do people not care they are killing your children? And make no doubt about it, tossing this off as hogwash is just that....hogwash.

Time for people to pull their heads out of the sand before that's all they have left to eat.

Given the huge number of variables, many probably not even identified, events such as climate change will be debated up to either the completion or elimination of the event. Anyone who has taken high school chemistry should understand the theory and why it is possible.

Personally, I’m convinced something is happening, and have made changes to be far more energy efficient in my life and career. If I’m right, I’ve made my contribution to eliminating the problem.

If I’m wrong, here’s the impact on me: my fuel bills for my car and home are cut in half, the bottom line at my business is stronger due to reduced energy costs, my new landscaping looks awesome, and I have a slightly clearer conscience on wars over oil. I also have enjoyed some nice capital gains on emerging alternative energy stocks. It’s all win/win for me.

For you folks who disagree that man has an impact on global warming: if you’re right, you get bragging rights (but you still pay more for energy than I do)

What if you’re wrong? I’m anxious to hear your answers.

There appears to be a steady increase in the absurdity of some arguments used by some skeptics to refute global warming. Is this because they've exhausted the credible and are now turning to the incredible instead?

Each day more evidence emerges to support the theory of manmade global warming, are skeptics now becoming increasingly desparate in their attempts to retain any vestige of credibility?

Yesterday alone we saw, amongst other things...

● The outbreak of more wildfires in California, in themselves they neither prove nor disprove global warming but are part of a global trend of ever increasing numbers of wildfires.

● Australians voted for a new Prime-minister on a manifesto centred on environmental policies and a pledge to sign the Kyoto Protocol.

● The heads of the Commonwealth Nations agreed a 'firm commitemnt' to tackle climate change.

● Oxfam published an in-depth report stating there has been a 400% increase in adverse weather events since the 1980's.

how many of you are as mad as i am, that nobody is doing much about the whole global warming issue? ppl jus need to wake up and realize that the world is not just going to keep reproducing all of the natural gases and fuels for us to use up and put into our atmosphere. when we have other choices, other options to chose from...why are we chosing the ones that are ruining our enviorment for this generations' future? even tho some car and truck companies such as ford, GMC and dodge are making bio friendly vehicles, what about everybody else? what about all of the factories, the motorcycles, the burning of harmful things such as plastic? when we could use recyclable items such as paper or cardbored, why do we chose 2 use foam? because its prettier? think of how pretty our eath was 10, 15 years ago, and what its going to look like 10 to 15 years from now. think of our own planet's future. what do u have to say as 2 the ignorance of those who make harmful decisions for our plaents wellbeing?

Liberals always argue that any scientists presenting evidence against the current man made global warming religion are in it for the money and paid off by oil. Can ONE liberal please respond to this article and tell me there is not HUGE money in the current belief system? Al Gore makes millions.. right?

These two shipping channels have short circuited the earths ocean system at or close to equator. Before this the treee great ocean systems were thermally connected only around the poles. what effect these seemingly small openings have had on ocean circulation is a point that is bothering me! If any body has any reference to the study on the effects on these channels on global environment, may please let me know. Please note that the gulf streem starts very close to panama canal. Also remember the implications of "chaos theory".

I searched on web but i found discussion about reuslts not about mehtods. I want to know the methods to retrive data and how to relate thes data with climate? Could you describes these methods.
Thank you.

All along Kevin Rudd has said that if he is elected as Australia's Prime Minister, One of his first acts will be to sign the Kyoto Protocol.
Kevin 07 has won the election as of last night!

The entire modern world (excepting the US and Australia) signed the Kyoto Protocol years ago, some of which signed over a decade ago, and they've spent that time implementing changes to their lifestyle and energy generation and usage to reduce their carbon footprint and their ecological impact.

Australia, on the other hand, has done just about nothing on a national level. Now don't think I'm disregarding the noble efforts of hundreds of thousands of Australians who embraced this truth long ago, despite our governments' complacency, because those people are the one's who approached Kevin 07 in shopping centre's on the subject of climate change; those are the people who urged a Midnight Oil singer into parliament, and a Triple J science presenter into senate.

We've got some catching up to do!

Isn't one of the contentions of the Global Warming Theorists that CO2 in the atmosphere TRAPS Heat?
CO2 is a heavier molecule than air and will FALL towards the earth eventually.
Excerpt from Source: = http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/volgas.html
"Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air and the gas can flow into in low-lying areas; breathing air with more than 30% CO2 can quickly induce unconsciousness and cause death. In volcanic or other areas where CO2 emissions occur, it is important to avoid small depressions and low areas that might be CO2 traps."
CO2 in larger amounts Killing Trees:
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Imgs/Jpg/LongValley/30210600_004_caption.html

The only reason I see that CO2 is increasing excessively is the warming oceans ability to absorb back into itself. Soil seems to accept CO2 in larger amounts - but oceans are much larger.
Warm water emits CO2 - cold water absorbs CO2.

for those to young to remember durning the 1970 they were worried about global cooling

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling


let science say whoops we made a mistake back then .

What says we understand anything any better between then and now ?


they wanted to spread coal ash all over the ice to collect heat and melt the ice .

im sorry im not buying global warming anymore then i bought global cooling in the 70's

these trees lived thousands of yrs ago proves that that area was warm enough thousands of yrs ago to sustain plant life.

question: why is it bad that once again plant life will thrive again there, and please dont give the rising water mumbo jumbo. this should be proof that maybe the planet is warming but not cased by man for reasons previously stated.

i personally am hoping for warmer weather, we re not going to die from heat the same that we arnt freezing like they planned in the 70's.

What are some reasons for global warming ,And what are some examples

2007-11-24 01:32:27 · 18 answers · asked by NB GANGSTA 1

Specifically, I would like to see any pro AGW reports which deal with water vapor (the primary global warming agent), the decreasing ability of CO2 to warm as more is added to the system, and the effect of clouds to the global warming system.

I think if some of these issues were addressed in a scientific report, many sceptics would consider the theory plausible. For me, I find it impossible to believe in the theory when every article completely dismisses (or minimizes) these important issues. Also, a good explanation of why positive feedback is used by AGW fanatics instead of the most naturally occuring negative feedback. And PLEASE, do not refer to the "consensus" as scientific proof.

I only hear about negative results from global warming. But that does not seem to make sense. As we all know, Michael Mann wrote a report which introduced us to the "Hockey Stick" (yes it is debunked but stick with me here). He studied tree rings and used the size of the rings to estimate historic temperatures. I would have to assume that a larger tree ring implies a warmer climate. If this is the case, then does not his very report indicate that trees do in fact grow faster in a warmer climate?
