Global Warming

This is what happens when a scientific theory is on its death bed. The political forces empowered by it begin to push back and make completely unwarranted and scientifically unsupportable claims.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071118/D8SVRO100.html

A number of peer-reviewed papers were published in 2007 showing that the climate is not as sensitive to climate change as we once thought and that global warming will not be catastrophic. Instead of dealing with the science. they just come out with more claims of coming doom.

It is amusing that the Bush Administration finally began to support global warming theory just as the science indicates it will not be catastrophic.

Everyday, when I wake up, I look outside. I love the outdoors. But then, I think of what it will look like 30 years later. Will it stilll be the same?? Will the sky still be sunny and bright?? Will the ground still be able to produce flowers, weeds and trees?? Will the great mountains out west still be towering over us? Sadly, the answer to most of these delicate questions is no.
We have to do something!! Stop idiling your car! Recycle! Reuse! Turn off unnecessary things that are using up precious electricity! Wear an extra layer instead of cranking up the heat! Have shorter showers. Walk to some places instead of driving or the next car you buy-try and get a power efficient one. Use better lightbulbs.
If we all work together we can all end global warming! Don't you want your childrens' childrens' childrens' children to enjoy the same breathtaking views, clear blue water and uncharted islands as we all do now?! Please do your part. If a 15 year old can, then so can you.

In true science, debate is welcomed as a way to see flaws in a theory, and to find a way to correct those flaws, thus bettering the theory. But what we're seeing today about the so-called "theory" of anthropogenic global warming is that the alarmists are hushing up any dissenters, and claiming that there is no debate. In my opinion, that is proof that this is no longer science. It's politics.

The media has been quick to claim that global warming on Mars is caused by darkening of the planet. Nobody wants to mention that this darkening has only been estimated to account for 5 x 10^12 kg or 30% of the total observed loss of ice. Contrary to what the media is reporting, the findings are consistant with warming caused by an increase in solar intensity.


Here's a section from a research paper presented at the USRA.

"The estimated increase in south polar mass loss from the IRTM to the TES albedo model runs is ~5x1012 kg, or ~0.02% of the total martian atmos-phere. This represents a ~3% increase in potential mass loss from the IRTM to the TES model runs. Pre-vious estimates of summertime CO2 mass loss, based on observations of scarp retreat, range from 8.4x1012 kg [7] to 2-4x1013 kg [4]. Our predicted in-crease is of the same order of magnitude as these estimates, albeit on the low side."

Global warming will be reduced if we use less petrol/diesel/paraffin;and plastic bags. These are all end or bye products of oil refinery. If they were not used by us and contributing to the Tax Revenue the products would be burned off releasing more carbon into the atmosphere causing global warming. How can we say therefore that a reduction in the use of these products will help to reduce global warming?

A forecast by experts has said that it is almost certain that our children will have to wear smog masks if they are to survive. Could most of life be extinct in the next hundred years? When are the world leaders gonna stop polution?

* Globalwarming is just the government excuse to raise taxes & rob the people (Orgenized robbery)!
* People , be prepared for more taxes, as Gordon Brown want to take the lead!

I need to compare mean temperatures for a statistics project (topic is global warming). I need to compare a mean temperature for a decade about 40 years ago (lets say 1966-1976) to a present decade (1996-2006). Monthly averages would be helpful also, but I mainly need a ten-year average for any specific city to determine whether "global warming" has effected that area. Then I must use the data I find and conduct proper hypothesis tests (which i will figure out later!) but now I just need a temperature site?

When some of the suns rays are trapped within the Earth’s atmosphere, this heats up the air, causing the air to be much hotter and more polluted than usual.
The sun is constantly raising its temperature, so the air is getting more and more polluted as the greenhouse gases and Co2 are also trapped within the atmosphere.

Answers greatly appreciated and suggestions even more appreciated.

Do you think we will actually be smart enough as a world and as a people to bring global warming under control? Or will we just continue to be business as usual and just royally screw up our planet to the point of no return?

And like pretty much everyone who has a computer or watches TV, know all about the hype regarding changes in weather patterns and stuff. Yes, there are "signs" now. But are these mass sufferings due any time during this century? When will it be too unbearable to live a normal life?

They are saying somethings of Global Warming cant be fixed now!
But there must be lots of people changing light bulbs to energy saving ones and walking instead of driving by now, right?

And with Orlando Bloom, Sienna Miller & Leo DiCaprio supporting it, people are going to want to do the same thing as them?

Whats going on??

Does anyone know if NASA finally jumped on the global warming bandwagon. I had heard they always refer to solar warming figures of the other planets to show current global warming is within the variation of the other planets current warming trends. If you have the link to NASAs planet warming data that would be appreciated.

Many people today have said the IPCC is a liberal political group when in fact it is a scientific body. Do people really think that politicians could analyze and summarize thousands of scientific papers? Or do they simply lie about the IPCC in an attempt to undermine its credibility, since the IPCC is the foremost authority on climate science?

On top of that, mission_viejo has repeatedly lied about the IPCC, claiming that it had concluded that humans are not responsible for the current warming, when it specifically concludes otherwise.

Do people really not know what the IPCC is, or do they engage in ad hominem attacks because they can't dispute the science?

i'm still confused about the whole thing, not because i don't comprehend the facts about it, or because i'm not informed, but because..i've heard people say they dont believe in global warming.
is it because you don't believe everything u see or everything ur told??
please let me know what you think about the whole thing, i need to take many different points of view into consideration before coming up with my conclusion.
to tell you the truth, the whole global warming issue scares the crap out of me. lol. and i'm not a hippy.
