Question

An answer to My Previous Question:

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters

CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.

GEE, I did Not Know that THERE HAVE BEEN MONITORING STATIONS WORLD WIDE = for 650,000-Years?

And Core Samples, WHAT METHODOLOGY Was used for Analysis? Two Different Methods = WILL YIELD = TWOP DIFFERENT ANSWERS....?

WHO MISSED SCIENCE AND PHYSICS CLASSES = To Party = This TIME?

Thanks, RR

Answer 1

Global temperatures are increasing. That is a fact that nobody denies. Even scientists who believe that global warming is not a problem (they are in the minority by the way) do not dispute the fact that global temperatures are rising. What IS disputed is the extent to which human activity has contributed to global warming. I will not talk about 650,000 years ago, but in the last few decades, there has been an increase in CO2 and Methane. These record are available for anybody to examin. And during that period, the temperature has been rising (except for a breif period, from 1940s to 1970s I think). Now, while correlation does not imply causality, it certainly points that way. And the green house effect explains why an increase in these gases would lead to an increase in temperature. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 2

Global warming is mostly lies but also political as the4 us is burning more of the worlds fuel and it will soon run out.
They base a lot on CO2 and how much it has increased, well that is strange mother nature has been recycling our air system for millions of years with plants and a process called photosynthesis. If u actually measure CO2 u will find it is 1 to 2 parts per million. The plants have done a great job.
When will we run out of fossil fuels would u believe never As the plants also recycle our fuels as all the leaves etc wash down the rivers to the delta where they decompose into gas,oil, and after a long time coal. They are all tied into the process o0f photosynthesis .
Tell them to measure the increase in methane and listen to there lies as methane is lighter than air and rises very high. I think that as the methane gets very high it will be oxidized by sun light and become CO2 which will fall back to earth for plants. Always look for life cycles in nature . where do u suppose the gas ,oil,and coal came from to begin with.

Answer 3

Because, worldwide warming believers push aside any form of technology that could even trace that worldwide warming is brought on by means of whatever else instead of people. This is a hyperlink to a piece of writing by means of National Geographic suggesting that it's viable, that because Mars is warming while, and identical fee because the earth is could also be a warming of the solar as a substitute than human made. You might or won't suppose this, and that's exceptional. We do not know for definite what's inflicting worldwide warming, and technology is constantly finding out new matters. Things we by no means suggestion of earlier than. Even as up to date as twenty years in the past, we had no evidence of planets outiside of our sun procedure, now we all know of many. 10 years in the past we suggestion the age of the universe was once eight-10 billion years historic, now we are aware of it is in the direction of 20. We might uncover whatever out approximately the solar, and it warms and cools each and every so customarily and this can be a warming section. Then once more probably now not, but if anybody who's skeptical of worldwide warming as a human purpose offers an exchange idea, worldwide warming believers do not have to push aside it as lies, or correct wing hogwash.

Answer 4

Wow ... it amazes me the basic lack of understanding of natural systems that people have when trying to argue this point. CO2 goes into plants that get washed down rivers and turn into oil, gas and coal. Techinally true but after millions of years, fossil fuels in a geologic time scale are renewable but in human time frame non-renewable.

I am inclined to agree with the other poster about why everyone is so angry about this issue. The general consensus by most of the Scientific Community is that global warming is occurring and that humans DO have an influence on that in the form of increases CO2 emissions among other compounds. The question is do we do something now when we may have a chance to delay any harmful affects (if there will be) or go on as we are (and hopefully not as Senator Inhofe stated that we should be pumping as much CO2 into the atmosphere as we can to hold of the coming Ice Age) and hope nothing will happen. Man kind has a long history of dumping or dicharging first and later finding out the ramifications, PCBs, DDT, Teflon (I could go on forever). The live in the now and be darned the future attitude of our politicians, big buisness and people in general is a recipe for disaster. True no one can know with any certainty what the future will hold but science does have a good understanding of how natural systems work in general and if they are saying we need to start thinking about this I think experts doing the work are more believable then Oil and Gas Companies and there politicians. As the say "an ounce of prevention ..." Putting your head in the sand solves nothing. And being one of only two industrialized countries that refused to sign Kyoto ought to be a sign of who is really right.

If it is real and most studies show it is the system, after a point, will fuel itself. In general, more CO2, warmer temperatures, with warmer temperatures teh solubility of CO2 in water decreases, so more CO2 into the air, continued slash and burn of our rainforests (another huge CO2 sink) fewer plants to scrub CO2 out of the air and putting even more into the air, the thawing of the permafronst in sub-artic regions causing a release of huge amounts of methane and CO2. I don't know but the potential seems pretty devastating to just ignore the possibilities.

Rant and rave as you want that does nothing. Read, educate yourselves and take a step away from your political viewpoints and think scientifically and realistically.

I was once taught in college when the whole debate began many years ago and back then everyone used Venus as an example of Global warming run amuck. I am not so sure if that is applicable anymore, but even if its a small chance ... I think its time to listen to the majorirty of scientists whose interest lays in protecting the environment and people and not the politicians and big buisness whos interest is lining the pockets with money now with little care for the future.

Answer 5

There is BAD Science. Funny thing is I was in College in '98-99 and in my Earth Science Course we were taught that the Earth Heats and Cools over the years on it's own, that is the way the Earth is. That perhaps Global Warming isn't all it is made up to be. Funny thing about this is that I was in a STATE University. I wasn't going to one of your fancy Private colleges. Maybe that is why I was getting a better education on this subject. They weren't trying to teach us what they wanted to know in that sense. You know the CO2 was higher in like 40-70 and the temperature was actually going lower. To those who want to just blame CO2 they should read Micheal Crighton's book State of Fear. Maybe Gllobal Warming or whatever they call it now, isn't total junk science but it is questionable.

Answer 6

Over half of the global warming has occured before 1940. Solar radiation accounts for 76% of the raise in CO2 levels. Humans have only increased greenhouse gases by 2%.

Answer 7

CO2 on the surface of the Earth is taken up by plants of which 85% is ocean plants(plankton,etc). Scientists at UCD in Davis, CA added CO2 to their greenhouses to see the effect. The plants grew faster and more lushly. It was impossible to maintain these higher CO2 levels CO2 is a basic plant food. But kerosene burned above 30,000ft takes time(unknown amount) to settle down to the surface. For every lb of kerosene burned there is produced 3.66 lbs of CO2. Thousands of tons!! of kerosene are burned daily above 30,000 ft by jet engines!!! Jet engines burn 2-5 tons per engine per hour.

Answer 8

The question really devolves down to the fact that some people see the threat of global warming to be dangerous enough to justify any means of deterring it.

When somone becomes this skewed in their viewpoint they will begin to see the answers they want in the data rather than examining it in a reflective and objective manner.

Answer 9

Why are you people so angry about global warming?
Is your stocks in Fossil Fuels going down? Or is it that the people who get on here and rant are nothing more than zealots who cannot believe that your God put you on a planet and you ended up **** ing it up?

Answer 10

Now, see, if you didn't feel the need to use caps lock all the time just to be rude, you wouldn't have to resort to the laughable technique of using equals signs to indicate emphasis. If that is indeed what you're doing, rather than just sprinkling them around randomly as a fashion statement.
