Global Warming

i know the same old debate,some scientists claimed that the sesonal tempartures are 10 degrees higher than normal this year,is this alarmist? and where can i get free downloads on actual temperature reading records data since whenever actual records wheyr'e taken in Greenland?

What implications does a reversal of the earth's magnetic field have versus global warming? What would happen if the magnetic field reverses before global warming effects occur. How should the US spend its resources - more on global warming or more on preparing for a magnetic reversal?

That one generation ago everyone agreed that we could destroy the world anytime with the nuclear weapons we had then. We'dd poisoned numerous rivers, streams and lakes to the point nothing lived in them. One river actually caught fire spontaneously. Military folks seeded the clouds over the Ho Chi Minh trail and made it rain like the devil. The air wasn't fit to breathe in any city in the US. Now suddenly we are being told we have no influence at all. We can burn all the forests, poison all the water,and kill every other living thing, yet the earth will just go right on and nothing will change. We're told it's normal to do these things, everything is controlled by "natural cycles" and there can be no consequences. We don't need the opinion of people in any other country, the opinion of some of the Americans takes priority over all other people in all other countries and most Americans. What the heck happened? How could things have changed that much in such a short time?

Some critics of my claim that Global Warming is a lie became rather abusive i.e' Try reading the scientists' reports instead of the media'

Except for the online magazine the Nottinghamshire Times the media seem to be revelling in publishing global warming scare stories.

As for reading scientific reports, I do frequently, and the comments I make are from those reports that are freely available on the internet.

The famous Hockey stick Graph is another dodgy dossier, Al Gore had to eliminate the medieval warm period to make it look as though there had been a sudden rise in the earth's temperature. Not true, it's a lie.

Green taxes are nothing but a tax levied by deception, and the Czech President was right. "Green Zealots are a bigger threat to democracy than the communists."

Many times GW believers are told they have an aggenda, world view or some desire to create a new world order.

If you believe in manmade global warming, do any of these attributes apply to you?

The planet is getting warmer so surely there will be physical changes to the human race as we naturally evolve to cope with this? What are these changes likely to be though?

Have they not looked at an atlas recently?
Have they not seen the size of the UK?
Have they not noticed how much green there is and how the population is crammed?
More important, have they not noticed there is NO MORE INDUSTRY LEFT!

The majority of pollution comes from heating and vehicle exhaust. Aircraft disperse high in the sky however to curtail travel now would be a sin and a phony tax does not resolve the issue! Everyone is already paying too much for fuel and we cannot even get the cost of the Iraq war to date !

This travel tax is only going into the government's coffers. No complaint from the electorate and there will possibly not be either as new taxes are introduced.

I have a proposal. Both sides of the debate have our questions where we'd rather not get answers from the other side, we only skim read them anyway. Let's have an understanding that questions opened with 'Fellow greens/sceptics' are only answered respectively and anyone contravining this recieves large disapproval ratings.

I have seen this working in Religion and spirituality. It may open up room for more interesting debate on both sides, and even make some room for some humour.

I have this notion that believers will overwhelmingly say yes even though there is absolutely no proof supporting this statement. I believe that the way a believer was trained to think they would have to agree that we are not alone.

I do not believe that life exist elsewhere as there is no evidence that it does. Once I have objective information to show that life does indeed exist of other planets, I will agree that there is in fact life outside our own planet.

Which side do you fall on?

There is no evidence that levels of C02 affect the warming of the planet, the fact is that it changes constantly throughout the planets lifecycle. But humoring the gullable and the sheep out there that believe what ever the government tells them, the following will explain the major contributors of C02.

As said above the oceans are the greatest contributor, due to the trillions of algae/ plankton that produce 15 times of what all the human produce. Next is the decaying matter and dead animals that produce almost the same as the oceans. So thats 30 times more than what we produce.

The next is trees, many believe that trees suck up C02 and prodcue oxygen for life, but this is WRONG, growing trees do do this but mature trees actually stop this and produce more C02 than oxygen. Maybe we should cut down all mature trees to save the planet.

Next animals which includes us humans just releasing greenhouse gases produce way more than all the factories cars etc.

Also volcanoes, it is estimated that 1 eruption from a large volcane releases what we produce in 6 months. Of course there are other things that produce C02. So humans maybe produce about a hundreth of the planets C02 do you still think by turning your TV to standby or using energy saving lightbulbs makes any difference?

The fact is the theory of Global warming due to C02 outputs from humans is just a political policy that is used to TAX people, they employ their own scientists to give credit to there arguments, and select the only ones that agree with them to show to the public.

When will the world stop believing exactly what is told to them, without any evidence and make up their own minds. The government lies that is fact!

some argue by other things that mostly are changes in the earth atmosphere by volcanic eruptions ...

do you all think we are doing a big part making more problems
by changing the world by what we are doing to it

(I posted this question earlier, but thanks to Mr Jello I realized I linked to a sequence far down on the site. Since it's very important to read the story from the beginning I post this new question instead.)

The above link tells the history of the science of CO2 as a greenhouse gas and its contribution to global warming.

This is a must read for everyone that claims that

- Man made global warming is a conspiracy
- the computer models aren't reliable
- CO2 doesn't drive climate
- The theory is invented by Al Gore
- other silly arguments

Yes, it's a long read but if you can't take the time to read stories that debunk your arguments then you are just irresponsible deniers and your counter arguments don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Some background before I ask my question.

It was a long held view the earth was warmer than what it is today during a period known as the Medieval warm period (MWP).

There have been studies recently that downplay the MWP and say that 20th century is the warmest. This is a big bone of contention among skeptics who claim that a group of scientists manipulate science to promote an agenda.

In my opinion we can determine who is right by looking at the evidence and history. http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/greenland/
The site above says that settlements are being found in what is now permafrost. The Vikings only practised farming techniques. This suggests that the glaciers were further back, and a warmer climate.

As the weather became colder, the Vikings refused to adapt to the Inuit techniques of survival. They also changed the way they built their houses to cope with the cold.

Based on Trevor's answer in this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070919151143AA7qreB
it is clear that Global Warming Alarmists have a solid grasp of simple THEORETICAL algebra. But have these people ever taken a CALCULUS CLASS??????????

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the surface area of the ocean will increase DRAMATICALLY as the sea level rises. I mean, it's not like we can build a wall to hold that water back. For every inch the sea rises, there may be areas where the sea moves inland several FEET. That could add millions of square miles to the surface of the ocean.

This simple observation completely blows away the calculation that the alarmists use to prove that the oceans can rise as much as 250 feet if all the ice melts. Anyone that has passed Calculus should be laughing out loud at these claims.

Well what do you think about this?
