Who can honestly say, with hard facts, that Global Warming is just a myth?

Question

I have seen all kinds of answers on Yahoo about Global Warming, and the ones who deny it baffle me.

Bush also had hard facts there was WMD in Iraq.

Answer 1

Well friend, unfortunately is not a myth... just google the subject and will find very compact and secure explanations from some of the best science organizations of the world about global warming...
Frogs and many other amphibians are dying in the tropics because of that and the disasters caused for the oceans in the last decades are just a sign... but off course because of the melting of the freezing poles, more and more fresh water is going to the seas per year... and that's how you can also explain the dramatic weather changes in the world during the last 15 years!!!...
I don't wanna be pessimistic saying there is no back up in this, but the only way to stop and save from this is saving and protecting the forest we have... and quite frankly, people seem to be happy with the idea of making money today and burning the planet tomorrow...!

Answer 2

Even if the earth is warming, the basic fact is that man has absolutely no significant fact. Ask a volcanologist how much CO2 comes out volcanoes. A couple volcanoes can produce as much CO2 in an eruption as a few months of global pollution. And hundreds of volcanoes are active. The earth may be warming, but it has nothing to do with us. Take a look at the summer of '76 I believe it was. Los Angeles had over 20 days in a row of 100+. Nothing else has come close. The hottest temp ever recorded still stands from 1922 (which was not long after they began measuring temp). We may actually be cooling now. Have you noticed that only 3 named storms have formed in the Atlantic? The water temp is a bit cooler than last year. It is just a cycle. Besides, why should we care if there really is nothing we can do about it?

Answer 3

Global warming (global climate change) is not a myth. Unfortunately there's a lot more bad information than good information out there.

If you want to know the truth about global climate change, do not read newspapers, the Internet, etc. You don't want to get the facts from journalists (no offense to journalists but they tend to oversimplify). Definitely do not watch any movies about it either.

Global Climate Change is real, it's happened before. There are natural variations in the Earth's climate. Also, there are increasing amounts of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, there is still debate about how much warming is occurring and how much of the warming is caused by humans.

Read journal articles in Science, Nature, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, etc. Read as many credible scientific sources as you can so you truly understand what is going on. The media will only scare, bewilder and confuse you.

Best of luck!

Answer 4

The Global warming question is just too complex for us to understand right now. To answer the question we would have to understand A LOT of geological and human factors and how they all relate. Here are some of the MANY factors that I know of that can contribute to GW.

Sun spot cycle
Volcano activity
Ocean current circulation - a lot to understand here
Solar output
The rate at which humans release CO2 into the air
The rate at which biota act as a sink for CO2
The way the increased or decreased cloud formation due to temp changes will affect sunlight reaching the earth (we don't fully understand this yet)
How the Earth's precession effects the solar energy reaching the Earth
Our climate models are incredibly unstable most of them don't even get it right when it comes to the poles being cold.
ALL of these and more factors interact to effect global temps.

A myth? Not sure...you decide

Answer 5

For something to become a scientific theory, it has to predict outcomes of some event in the future.

All the predictions about [anthropogenic] Global Warming are way off. And whenever some climate event occurs, those who push global warming claim that they predicted it, and the public somehow thinks this is true.

I am sorry but in the scientific world, proof must be on the positive side. You have to show me why anthropogenic global warming is occurring, I don't have to show you why it isn't. YOU are the one who needs to provide the cold, hard, unadulterated evidence (i.e. nothing from Al Gore's portfolio of doctored 'proof').

Glaciers are melting! PROOF
There are more hurricanes! PROOF

I hear this garbage from people all the time, and it's not PROOF! (The hurricane argument is particularly despicable, since without Katrina's destruction and the highly political debate behind it, the global warming stormtroopers would have never pulled the 'more hurricanes' argument out of their *** and use other's misery for their own agenda). Show me beyond a doubt that humans are causing all of these changes to the climate, and that it is worth the job loss and economic destruction to reduce our emissions and I will be on your side. Until then, you are all a bunch of alarmists using fear and ignorance to push your agenda on an uninformed and easily frightened public.

Answer 6

yes there is global warming ( it may very will by the natural proses though) however man is speeding up the proses. i don't know how many of you know this but the earths rotation has actually sped up over the last 50 years because of all the hydro electric damns (most are in the northern hemisphere). faster spin means the ice at the poles are in the sun more. do the math. and that is only one area. look at all the asphalt warming the continent. there's not enough trees to stop the heat so we get more tornadoes.

Answer 7

Hahahaha...That is SOOOoooo funny...And dispicable!!
George Bush did not cause global warming, neither did Al Gore!!

Global warming is a NATURAL and cyclic phenomenon. Science has PROVEN it happens every 10,000 years or so, on a REGULAR schedule!...Mankind has LITTLE impact on this cycle, and can sadly do VERY little to prevent it. Just move away from the coast!!...The water will be DEEP there in a few years. Might as well accept it!!

What's wrong with speculation? It's used most everywhere else.

Answer 9

Global warming is not a myth. The history of the Earth shows fluctuations in temperature and we are in a rare period of global cooling.

Answer 10

Its a myth, In the earth's history, there is something called a interglacier period and glacier period (Ice Ages). These periods can last several hundred years. We are just in one of these interglacier periods where the earth naturally warms itself. I feel that with our pollution we are speeding up the natural process but not downright destroying the process.
