have you ever taken into consideration that the phenomenon called global warming doesnt exist? i know that sounds pretty radical... but i read this book by michael crichton 'state of fear' and in it he presents a pretty solid case saying that global warming doesnot exist.... i even did some research on my own and now i just believe that its all just plain nonsense... check out this site for some details supporting my views....

Global warming has always been the problem. Weather is not a perfect condition on Earth. It doesn't behave as nicely as a sine or cosine function. However, industrial processes over the last say 40 years have amplified effects on weather. The Earth is trapping much more energy from the sun than has normally occurred (from volcanoes and such). Why is it a problem only now you ask? As sea levels rise there will be substantial investment losses (never mind the large populations of people who will no longer have a place to live). Money problems are always the ones that get the most exaggeration.

apart from as has been said the cyclic period of weather change, industrialistaion producing carbon dioxide started long before the 18th century its just getting worse because we are producing more waste now than were doing then but because global warming started centuries ago we can attibute that heat wave in 1911 to global warming from earlier industrial processes - steel works coal works etc.. look on the bright side if it wasnt global warming we'd be having global freezing or whatever

Im not 100% sure about what the weather was like in 1911 but think about your own lifetime....every year it seems to get hotter and the vast majority of scientists (not funded by Shell or Esso) agree that global warming is real.

Carbon emmissions have been rising steadily since the industrial revolution, global warming could have caused the high tempratures back then too. There have been freak hot and cold years documented since the start of recorded history, but people are kicking up a fuss now because they're becoming more and more common.

In order to make a valid assumption about the climate, you must first compile a climatology. The standard period for a climatolology is 30 years.
One warmer year in the climatology is considered abnormal. However, when you compare the past 30 years to all data (both measured and inferred) from the last 1000 or so years, it is easy to see that a warming trend is evident in the most recent climatology.

Global Warming is an excuse. If they look back in History it's like a pattern. Like with the recent hurricans, it happened many years ago, and it happens every so many years.It will happen again in the future.Can't blame global warming for everything !

this may sound strange but i read where the mayans indicate we are going from one side of the milky way galaxy to the other and some people believe the earths magnetic field will be shifted causing climatic shifts and abnomal weather patterns. this is as far fetched as global warming.

The earth's just getting going, in 'planet' years, the earths only about 10... It's always been heating up, fluctuating slightly, but getting warmer....

the sun maybe
no really we are going slowly in to an ice age that's why its warming up now
