gobal warming(please read the question?

Question

hey...i have a powerpoint assignment on the debate over global warming where i have to talk about both sides of the debate.
These are some of the debates i am going to bring up:
Are temperatures actually rising at all?
Is it early to be making predictions for the future?
Is it caused by human contribution or natural?
Does it benefit some regions?
What should i talk about for the people that don't believe it exists and for those who do think it exists?

Any good websites please tell me!!

Answer 1

Alright, on the other side of the debate is that global warming is happening now. While the overall global rise in temperature is not significant (yet) because temperature changes faster over the 29% land than over the 71% ocean, there are parts of the world where the weather has changed significantly. National Geographic is a good source on this. In the arctic, the ice melts weeks, in some cases a month earlier, and forms a month later than it used to. This makes it hard to go ice fishing; and hard to travel as well, since the Inuit use frozen rivers as their roads. Frogs in the tropics are dying because they cannot stand the heat. Frogs are very sensitive to minor temperature changes; nor can they travel all that much. I'm fairly certain that during the last major temperature change, that is, the "little ice age" that happened around 1200-1500, there wasn't mass extinctions, such as are happening now. Finally, scientists know what carbon dioxide does in the atmosphere. There is more than double the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that there was 400 years ago. Seeing as we humans have burned tons of coal, oil, and gas, and that burning each causes carbon dioxide to be released, it should be obvious that we are the cause of global warming. To say that we are not the cause is just like watching someone eat all the cookies from a cookie jar, then claiming they didn't eat them, despite knowing you watched them the whole time. We know both the cause and the effect, and now people are saying the cause and effect are not related. Who are the real scientists?

Answer 2

Yes, anyone that doesn't recognize global warming is an idiot. However, anyone that thinks the cause is strictly human activity is also an idiot.

Anyone that thinks people that put CO2 in the atmosphere are evil should just kill themselves now. An average human body puts out 200-300 pounds of CO2 each year just by breathing.

what I personally would like to see written about is the glaciers that formed the great lakes. scientist tell us all evidence points to the great lakes being formed by glaciers but there hasn't been a glacier within 200 miles of the great lakes throughout recorded history.; so global warming has been occuring for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Answer 3

Here's a good point: If you took every human being on the planet and stood each one in an area 2 foot by 2 foot, the grid required to accomodate everyone would be only 30 miles by 30 miles. That's a pretty insignificant speck on the face of the planet. We would have to be some kind of superbeings to make a difference.

The warming they refer to is one-half of one degree Fahrenheit OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS. Which is easier to believe, that we did something to cause it, or that there may be some natural cycles in play?

Answer 4

Try this a very large part of the global warming is related to CO2 and the fact that we are burning too much fossil fuels. They say that CO2 has increased 30% it has not. Go measure it. They are so ignorant that they cant imagine how I got rid of all that CO2. Where was u when the teacher taught about photosynthesis ???? Are u sure u understand ?? It is that green plants take CO2 ,sunlight, and water and make their food. The plants need CO2 just as much as u need oxygen.
So if CO2 is not there neither is global warming.

tell them that people make alot of artifical heat and it doesnt go back where it came from
