Is global warming Science Fiction?

Question

MYTH Carbon dioxide changes in the atmosphere cause temperature changes on the earth.
FACT A report in the journal 'Science' in January of this year showed using information from ice cores with high time resolution that since the last ice age, every time when the temperature and carbon dioxide levels have shifted, the carbon dioxide change happened AFTER the temperature change, so that man-made global warming theory has put effect before cause — this shows that reducing carbon dioxide emissions is a futile King Canute exercise! What's more, both water vapour and methane are far more powerful greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide but they are ignored.

Answer 1

no such thing as global warming.

Answer 2

Yes. It's in the same category as the infamous "Holes in the Ozone" scare.
The biggest source of carbon dioxide on the planet, is the ocean. The second largest output, is from volcanoes (not to mention the volumes of various types of gases emitted from bovines). This is far and above the output from mankind.
There are much larger forces at work, that determine Earth's range of temperature, including but not limited to the precession of the Earth on its axis, and the "wobble" in the axis itself. There are very long cycles (100's of thousands of years) which determine Ice Ages. We are currently in an "in-between" period; the cycle is now headed back toward an Ice Age. Of course, it's thousands of years ahead of us, and by then, mankind will have mastered many things to be able to deal with such a crisis. For example, by then, mankind will have colonized outward to Mars, and beyond.

Answer 3

You are right at certain points, but you are also very wrong. Carbon dioxide doesn't change in the atmosphere indeed, but it forms a layer high in the atmosphere, acting as a blanket and preventing from the earth "excess" heat to escape into space.
Methane however does change in the atmosphere into co2. This methane is for a significant part originating from animal and human feces. There are methods being developed to "catch" lots of these gasses in stables and sewers and burn them. This way the methane/co2 circle is round: Growing food for animals and humans reduces co2-levels->Consumption produces methane-> This methane is burnt forming co2 (and electricity)->Growing food for animals and humans reduces co2-levels->etc->etc...
The methane could be a future problem indeed, maybe bigger then Co2 itself if mankind keeps exploding, but it is not ignored for sure, but how do you catch your or a cows fart? Also in sea-beds and in ice are large amounts of methane and Co2 trapped, that comes out when ice melts and seawater temperatures rise.

You should take a look at these sites if you want the facts separated from myth.

Don't make up your own science.

Answer 4

Just as acid rain was fiction in the 70's and 80's. Scientists are far too fast to jump on the Global Warming band wagon. We were all told that the cause of increased hurricane activity was due to warming while others sited normal cyclical cycles.
No hurricanes this year so either the global warming "scientists" are wrong or global warming is over....

Answer 5

Don't know. Not enough valid information. There's evidence to suggest its real. There's evidence to suggest its not. Global warming may be real, it may be exagerated, it may also be just a normal period in the life cycle of the Earth.

What I do know is anyone who dares question the validity of current global warming models, or wants hard scientific evidence on how we can combat global warming effectively, is automatically labelled a neo-con (see above for an example) and other hateful descriptors.

Answer 6

Sorry to interrupt it to you, however the peg is in basic terms somewhat backwater $#@+!@ in nowhere, Canada. it somewhat is by skill of no streach of the mind's eye international. right here in yet another place of the same form in the U. S. it somewhat is 30 tiers above standard for this time of three hundred and sixty 5 days- the snow is melting from each little thing and that i did no longer certainly % greater desirable than a protracted sleeve shirt at present. That might desire to be information of international warming, no? looks such as you're greater in % of a undemanding e book to income your self somewhat approximately technology first.

Answer 7

Considering that the human populous has never been this large (or any animal population for that matter), and also considering that no other creature has the ability to manipulate the earth sea and air like humans, it is quite possible that the earth is reacting to a new stimulus who's effects have never been seen and thus could never be found in ice or soil.

Answer 8

Absolutely B.S. (at least in the sense that it is given by the environmentalists)!
What would make these people happy? If the earth's temperature and environment stayed precisely the same year after year, decade after decade, etc., etc.??? Does that seem natural? Nature is a dynamic thing, ever-changing! It HAS to be that way.

Answer 9

To deny global warming is put the whole of humanity in Danger.

Take this as an example: The Amazon forest is considered to be the very LUNGS of the this planet. Chop it all down, and we will all need a new source of oxygen.

Get an education and stay away from Bushwhackers.

Answer 10

Is this question getting old?
MYTH Not in the eyes of the Rapture Right.
FACT In the eyes of every other living, breathing person, yes.

Answer 11

Yeah its climate change it could be a couple of warm decades with crazy up and down weather to a poop of cold weather.
