How much do humans physically alter Global Warming?

Question

Ok, so there's about 6 billion of us, each with an internal temperature of around 98 degrees F. What heat energy are we, as a species, expelling into the air? Should countries with less people, ie Greenland, be held less responsible for those for instance in China? Are we just too damn hot?

Answer 1

This gobal warming BS is all propaganda, to get us ready to ween ourselves away from oil. The effect that humans have had on global warming is nominal. A good volcanic eruption gives off more CO2 and poisonous gas than humans have given since the start of the industrial revolution. The government now is just using it as another tax grab. These scientists, who do you think they get funding from. Bill Gates? No the government. At one time they said the world was flat, then they said the sun revolves around the earth, the people that disproved these theories were persecuted by the common thought at the time, just like the scientists that have debunked the global warming debate today. Like the BS of no more fish in 50 years, what a load of crap. I've never heard anything so stupid. But people like to have a doomsday, and like to think we are destroying the world. Like we are overpopulated and the earth can't sustain this many people, BS it can sustain double the current population. Don't get me wrong some places like Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, Lima, Bejing etc. need to pass clean air act in order to get localized pollution and smog under control, but that is for the citizen benifit, not the planets. The planet will compensate for it's self, Ozone depleting emissions are a little more dangerous, but most industrialized nations have now passed strict laws about this, and in fact the holes in the ozone layer are not getting any bigger. The weather is erratic, always has been always will be. Just look up any record highs and lows of any date. To be so arrogant and egotistical to think that we control nature is a stupid thought, nature controls us, and always will. There is a reason we call her mother.

Some FUN FACTS about CO2
Of the 186 billion tons of CO2 deposited into the atmosphere yearly from all sources, only 6 billion are from man, 90 billion come from biologic activity in earths oceans, and another 90 billion from volcanos and decaying land plants.

current CO2 levels make up 4/100ths of 1% of gases in the atmosphere, compared to former geologic times earth is actually CO2 impoverished.

CO2 is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, Plants consume CO2 and expel Oxygen, animals consume Oxygen and expel CO2. Carbon Dioxide is a nutrient not a pollutant, and all life plants and animals alike benifit from it. All life on earth is carbon based and CO2 is an essential ingredient.

CO2 that goes into the atmosphere does not stay there it is recycled by land plants and the oceans(the retirement home for most terrestrial CO2)

If we are in a global warming crisis today?? Even the most costly and aggressive proposals for cutting CO2 emissions would have a negligable affect on global climate!!

In truth CO2 levels have been steadily increasing for the past 18000 years. The total human contribution to the greenhouse effect has been about 0.28% (CO2 man made = 0.117% / NOX, methane other minor gases man made = 0.163%)

"Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves have to find a way to scare the public...and this you can only acheive by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are" Petr Chylek, professor of physic and atmospheric science.

"Even if the Global warming THEORY(key word) is wrong, we will be doing the right thing, in terms of environmental and economic policy" Tim Worth while US Senator Col. After a short stint as UN under secretary for global affairs, he now serves as president of the UN Foundation, created by Ted Turner and his 1 Billion dollar "gift"

You people think everyone lied about Iraq, wake up people, this is the biggest lie yet!!!!!

Answer 2

We are just a very tiny amount of the total heat that contributes to the temperature of Earth. There are may other sources. By far, the most important of these is the Sun. The amount of heat that we as a species give of is nothing compared to that which earth receives from the Sun.

And for those that have bought into the whole human caused global warming thing, might I suggest that you try studying the other side of the argument? Try checking out the following sources.

Answer 3

Oddly enough, there was a panic a few years ago that the growth of populations would soon kill off the earth - most now feel it's greenhouse gases, not size of population that is the threat. I think our collective activities accelerate a natural process, i.e. global warming. It is what the world must do in cycles, or we would all (north of Spain) be living on a huge sheet of ice.

Answer 4

One of the lies that u hear is that CO2 has increased 30% or more.WRONG go measure it. The plants take the CO2 in and put out oxygen for us. I read an article as to how much faster some plants are growing. Granted we produce lots of CO2 but the plants will use all we produce.

Answer 5

I think `Global warming` may be the biggest con which people with even half a brain are beginning to see through

Answer 6

The weather is hay-wire, the north + south poles are in turn moil, you look on Science outreach

Answer 7

No, we are very tiny compared to big planetary statistics. We generate a tiny amount of heat compared to the sun.

Answer 8

Dude, never thought of that. Couples should be limited to one child and given tax breaks if they have no children. Overpopulation and scarce resources are the roots of our modern problems.

Answer 9

Go, nick c, totally agree with you - we are all being conned by the governments, they just want to control us all!

Answer 10

One thing's for sure: if we'd all get killed off, the state of the earth would be a lot better.
