our world is flat, how can we make it round? will global warming help soften it so we can manipulate its form?

Question

which silly theory is more silly, a flat world or global warming?
global warming is not to be mistaken for pollution. every scientist agrees with pollution. 100 out of 17000 claim GW might exist, but is far from proven. most sci guys & gals disprove the data others hold up as legitimate proof, knowing theyve faked the material research in order to get grants funding non existent global warming ponzi schemes.
http://www.sepp.org/reality/bostglob.html

scientists who get funding hire, recruit & support politicians. they will once in office help fund sci guys, thru gov grants. which inturn will assure these same politicians a home in office for yrs to come. since it didnt work for gore to name one. it does lend proof global warmings not proven by any measure scientifically, or otherwise.

i know global wamring is fake, but id sign on to protect hose cool polar bears no doubt. if only we could raise awareness, & send them coke colas. santa claus sd he will deliver them for free! (one night, only)

in science as a child i did make up a Global warming model. and these dumb sci guys took it seriously, and i bought it from me. theyve been trying to sell it to the world ever since!

the avg temp is not rising, a 1 degree variation over a century (if you believe what vern and ernie measured the system by, +100yrs ago) is to be taken as a valid serious observation & measurement.
yes, i rm the ice age to come by 2000 all the evidence we have now, of global warming. proved it to be so then. except for the sci guys who showed how they manipulated reports. there are early 20000 sci guys and gurls who prove the reports of 100 or so global warming proponents have faked out right and or otherwise manipulated facts to bolster research efforts. rm silly rabbits, tricks are for scientists who want people eating up their fake reports like a kid hopped up on sugar coated breakfast cereal!

the most recent of studies relies heavily on the kyoto report which is false. global warming at best has less than 200 sci guys & gals supporting it & of those nearly 60% say so because they feel it will result in more regulating of pollutants. ( I WHOLE HEARTEDLY SUPPORT REGULATING POLLUTION REFORM) not because GW is real, or a threat.
nearly 20000 sci guys/gals whole heartedly disagree with any reports affirming global warming. it is the sun, affecting our planet.
yes i did a model of the solar system it consisted of our flat earth being the center of the universe and all bodies revolved around earth. ( i was a kid in the yr 1008 )
man was that a HOT yr!

Answer 1

Our world isn't flat, it is round. ANyways, I don't think anyone wants global warming to increase, cause we will be melting and poor polar bears. Wow, you don't know that the world is round?

Answer 2

The average global temperature is rising: that's an observation, based on non-faked measurements, as seriously valid as the roundness of the earth observed from orbit or by other, land based means.

The question is what is driving the global temperature change. It has been shown (based on measurements of air trapped in datable objects) that the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is rising; the meaning of that remains open to debate.

Take me in context. I'm old enough to remember when the climatologists were predicting that by the year 2000, glaciers would be moving over Chicago... Or was that Toronto... It's been a while. ANYHOW, having heard an earlier generation of climatologists predicting a new Ice Age by the year 2000, and having lived to see the glaciers retreating at year 2000, I must express a large dose of skepticism...

Never believe the 33rd order prediction of a first order model...

Answer 3

The information you provided comes from "Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine", and their funding is from private sources in industry, therefore you must consider them to be biased towards the view of those that fund them.


"The Marshall Institute co-sponsored with the OISM a deceptive campaign -- known as the Petition Project -- to undermine and discredit the scientific authority of the IPCC and to oppose the Kyoto Protocol. Early in the spring of 1998, thousands of scientists around the country received a mass mailing urging them to sign a petition calling on the government to reject the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was accompanied by other pieces including an article formatted to mimic the journal of the National Academy of Sciences. Subsequent research revealed that the article had not been peer-reviewed, nor published, nor even accepted for publication in that journal and the Academy released a strong statement disclaiming any connection to this effort and reaffirming the reality of climate change. The Petition resurfaced in 2001.

Spin: There is no scientific basis for claims about global warming. IPCC is a hoax. Kyoto is flawed.

Funding: Petition was funded by private sources.

-Union of Concerned Scientist.

Lesson learned do not trust an organization that claims to be scientifically unbiased and yet is paid for by big industry.

In response to your inventing the global warming model; that honor belongs most likely to the famous chemist Svante Arrhenius in the 1880's.

Answer 4

global warming. it is not so much our fault there is more heat coming out of volcanos than all the greenhouses put to geather. there is also a warming change in the pattern of the earth's revolution. first there was a cold period for five years and in colarado they thought they would all starve because of their lack of farm crops and high snow wich prevented farming. the snowstorms also slowed down suply trains and truckers. rember the heat waves of chicago and new-york those were caused by the five year warming period. now its the begining of the five year warming peroid and this makes everyone think that global warming is all our fault. i say that it is not all our fault but we do need to focous on our ozone because that lets heat in, and the fossil fuels that we use,because we can use hydrogen fuelcells that generates electricity to power the motors or geneorators. so global warming is not all our fault and i think that some people are jumping ot the gun and saying that it is our fault. when realy its just the warming and cooling peroid.

Answer 5

I tink that a flat world is a more ridiculous than global warming. You can actually feel and see it getting hotter each year, and that is just using your eyes and a thermometer.

Answer 6

In science as a child, did you ever ceate a solar system? If so - was the earth flat?

Answer 7

Here is the scientific consensus on global warming as of five years ago, the entire report can be found at the link below:

Summary for Policymakers

The Third Assessment Report of Working Group I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) builds upon past assessments and incorporates new results from the past five years of research on climate change1. Many hundreds of scientists2 from many countries participated in its preparation and review.

This Summary for Policymakers (SPM), which was approved by IPCC member governments in Shanghai in January 20013, describes the current state of understanding of the climate system and provides estimates of its projected future evolution and their uncertainties. Further details can be found in the underlying report, and the appended Source Information provides cross references to the report's chapters.


An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system.

Since the release of the Second Assessment Report (SAR4), additional data from new studies of current and palaeoclimates, improved analysis of data sets, more rigorous evaluation of their quality, and comparisons among data from different sources have led to greater understanding of climate change.

The global average surface temperature has increased over the 20th century by about 0.6°C.

The global average surface temperature (the average of near surface air temperature over land, and sea surface temperature) has increased since 1861. Over the 20th century the increase has been 0.6 ± 0.2°C5, 6 (Figure 1a). This value is about 0.15°C larger than that estimated by the SAR for the period up to 1994, owing to the relatively high temperatures of the additional years (1995 to 2000) and improved methods of processing the data. These numbers take into account various adjustments, including urban heat island effects. The record shows a great deal of variability; for example, most of the warming occurred during the 20th century, during two periods, 1910 to 1945 and 1976 to 2000.

Globally, it is very likely7 that the 1990s was the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year in the instrumental record, since 1861 (see Figure 1a).

New analyses of proxy data for the Northern Hemisphere indicate that the increase in temperature in the 20th century is likely7 to have been the largest of any century during the past 1,000 years. It is also likely7 that, in the Northern Hemisphere, the 1990s was the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year (Figure 1b). Because less data are available, less is known about annual averages prior to 1,000 years before present and for conditions prevailing in most of the Southern Hemisphere prior to 1861.

On average, between 1950 and 1993, night-time daily minimum air temperatures over land increased by about 0.2°C per decade. This is about twice the rate of increase in daytime daily maximum air temperatures (0.1°C per decade). This has lengthened the freeze-free season in many mid- and high latitude regions. The increase in sea surface temperature over this period is about half that of the mean land surface air temperature.
Temperatures have risen during the past four decades in the lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere.

Since the late 1950s (the period of adequate observations from weather balloons), the overall global temperature increases in the lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere and in surface temperature have been similar at 0.1°C per decade.

Since the start of the satellite record in 1979, both satellite and weather balloon measurements show that the global average temperature of the lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere has changed by +0.05 ± 0.10°C per decade, but the global average surface temperature has increased significantly by +0.15 ± 0.05°C per decade. The difference in the warming rates is statistically significant. This difference occurs primarily over the tropical and sub-tropical regions.

The lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere and the surface are influenced differently by factors such as stratospheric ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosols, and the El Niño phenomenon. Hence, it is physically plausible to expect that over a short time period (e.g., 20 years) there may be differences in temperature trends. In addition, spatial sampling techniques can also explain some of the differences in trends, but these differences are not fully resolved.
Snow cover and ice extent have decreased.

Satellite data show that there are very likely7 to have been decreases of about 10% in the extent of snow cover since the late 1960s, and ground-based observations show that there is very likely7 to have been a reduction of about two weeks in the annual duration of lake and river ice cover in the mid- and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, over the 20th century.

There has been a widespread retreat of mountain glaciers in non-polar regions during the 20th century.

Northern Hemisphere spring and summer sea-ice extent has decreased by about 10 to 15% since the 1950s. It is likely7 that there has been about a 40% decline in Arctic sea-ice thickness during late summer to early autumn in recent decades and a considerably slower decline in winter sea-ice thickness.
Global average sea level has risen and ocean heat content has increased.

Tide gauge data show that global average sea level rose between 0.1 and 0.2 metres during the 20th century.
Global ocean heat content has increased since the late 1950s, the period for which adequate observations of sub-surface ocean temperatures have been available.
