The defense is to ignore it as a problem that they can do anything about. The most common argument that you will hear is: "The global climate has been changing throughout its history." We do have more than 100 years worth of data, and yes, there has been major climatic changes in the past.

There is some disbelief that human actions can affect anything as big as the global climate, too. Arguments that take science into consideration are the best ones, but they're the least often used. Usually, it's just this general statement of disbelief that is given.

Let's take the previous poster's example of the Mars ice caps melting, and how we haven't been studying the Earth's climate for long enough. First of all, there is no statement about how this is beyond the normal seasonal fluctuations of Mars. After all, the ice caps wax and wane according to the seasons. Now, consider how long we have been studying Mars too. Have we studied Mars sufficiently long enough to be able to decide what is or is not normal seasonal changes for Mars?

Another claim to helplessness is to say, "This is the only choice that we have - without a fuel source, economies would collapse." This argument relies on the fact that there are no viable alternative fuels. However, I would like to see a little less helplessness, too. If we don't have another source of fuel for getting to work, why doesn't the government fund research into alternative fuels? Before you say there is no money, think about how much money we spent on Iraq. Wouldn't it have been better spent on research & development of alternative fuels? If we are no longer dependent on foreign oil, then we are not funding terrorists.

Another tactic is to attack people on a personal level, to distract attention away from the problem. In truth, it's difficult for the individual to make big changes in the world, and that is why for things like that, the government has to step up to the plate.

However, I do not want to be mistaken for towing a party line. I do not limit this rule for Republicans or Democrats. While the Democrats have been slightly more environmentally friendly, I would like to see somebody more radical from either party come into office - you know, somebody who is willing to try to fix the problems that the government is presented with, both on a national and an international level.

regrettably there are too many uneducated human beings answering right here. I desire that folk who don't understand would merely chorus. actually everyone who tells you warming is a organic cycle is truly blind to accessible preparation. The organic cycle that ameliorations the earth's lengthy time period climate is in the earth's orbit and proper this second could be causing cooling ensuing in an ice age in 23,000 years. those are the Milankovitch cycles. there isn't any huge-spread cycle which will be causing warming proper this second, and there has never in the previous been warming as quick as there has been in the previous one hundred years. inspite of what the reason will be, that's some thing that has never in the previous got here about and no organic clarification has been got here across for it. So, please human beings, in the previous you declare a organic cycle study-up somewhat on precisely what those cycles are. causes of international warming a million) lengthy-lived greenhouse gasses, predominantly CO2 2) Ozone in the Troposphere 3) Stratospheric water vapor from CH4 4) image voltaic irradiance The 4th, irradiance is the conventional observed organic source, although that's minor and as well to is non everlasting. outcomes a million) higher regularly occurring temperature of the earth's ecosystem and oceans 2) Altered precipitation varieties distinctive the different projected outcomes are brought about by ability of the warming, somewhat than the greenhouse result instantly.

1. Because the majority of the warming is due to solar activity. That's why Mars' ice caps are melting, too.

2. Because there's no proof the greenhouse effect, in reality, not some flawed computer simulation, is necessarily bad.

3. Because all the chicken little dire scenarios are based on flawed environmental models.

4. Because making predictions based on less than 100 years of accurate worldwide data using flawed models is not a good reason to destroy whole economies or plunge countries into chaos. This is called insufficient data.

That it is a myth
They say that the climate varies and that people are having little to no effect on the natural cycles

What is the Left wing explanation for the Ice Age and the "UNNATURALLY" warm weather from 850 to 1300 ?????
That Warm up that caused the Renaissance ????

Global warming is all George W. Bush's fault. Just like hurricane Katrina was, just like 9/11 was, just like the tsunami was, just like Stevie Wonder's blindness is, just like sinking of the Titanic was and just like Chris Daughtry getting voted of American Idol was. He is the source of all evil............NOT.

Get real, why is it the republicans fault that we have raised the earth's temperature a few degrees? Ask yourself a question: Do you ride your bike to work everyday? Have you ever used hairspray in an aerosol can? Do the republicans have control over what other countries like China and Japan do? Ask your buddy Al Gore to invent a solution to the problem just like he invented the internet if he is so smart.

look in the medeival ages the earth warmed up several degrees higher than it ever has in modern history, the "hole in the ozone" is a tiny area of LESS ozone over ANTARCTICA. ozone is soposadly destroyed by arosols, which have been decreased and changed. other than that HOW THE HELL IS THAT OUR FAULT, 60-70% of the proven to be harmfull emmitions come from developing nations not us.

I don't know, but, we are bright enough not to send a bore like Al Gore out as our spokesman.
