Global warming is NOT being caused by man. .

Climate change is controlled primarily by cyclical eccentricities in the Earth's rotation and orbit, as well as variations in the sun's energy output.

"Greenhouse gases" in the Earth's atmosphere also influence the Earth's temperature, but in a much smaller way. Human additions to total greenhouse gases play a still smaller role, contributing about 0.2% - 0.3% to Earth's greenhouse effect.

Just as I suspected...the libs responded with their usual dribble w/out any facts. I bet many of you libs didn't even read the link before responding. That being the case, I'll highlight a few points from the piece:

- Of the 186 billion tons of CO2 that enter earth's atmosphere each year from all sources, only 6 billion tons are from human activity.

- Approximately 90 billion tons come from biologic activity in earth's oceans and another 90 billion tons from such sources as volcanoes and decaying land plants.

- CO2 is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Plants absorb CO2 and emit oxygen as a waste product. Humans and animals breathe oxygen and emit CO2 as a waste product. Carbon dioxide is a nutrient, not a pollutant, and all life-- plants and animals alike-- benefit from more of it. All life on earth is carbon-based and CO2 is an essential ingredient. When plant-growers want to stimulate plant growth, they introduce more carbon dioxide.

Blah, blah, blah, must you continue to be part of the problem instead of part of the solution?

The weather is without a doubt the most complex thing in the world. It is virutally impossible to model. Is the earth warming up.
I think there is no doubt about it. The question is why.

I found Gores video compelling. I also know that a lot of the people out there condemning global warming science are funded by the oil companies. Is this link funded by the oil companies?

One thing is for sure. You can only sh*t in your nest for so long before you can't live there anymore.

The irony is that if we went away from fossil fuels it would make trying to take over the middle east moot. We wouldn't need their oil anymore. It would help to clean up the planet. In the long run it would be better for everyone. But then certain people wouldn't make billions and billions and billions of dollars.

So we can't do what is right for everyone. We can only do what is right for the elite.


Global warming. I think the jury is still out.


So since you got your facts from a internet site they are indisputable.

Wow.

Bravo. I commend you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

You are exactly right. Even if we tried to control global warming, it doesn't mean the rest of the world will. If we tried Al Gore's plan, by 2020, we would be 30% poorer.

Thank you for this question. I really appreciate it. It shows that there are still some sane people out there.

Can I ask you two questions. Would you lock yourself in the garage with the car running? No. Why not? Because after awhile you will die.
It doesn't get any more simple than that,

So it's not fact if you'll die from CO2 poisoning if you lock yourself in the garage with the car running?

What's ludicrous is to think that a constant stream of ever increasing pollutants released into the air of a planet that is experiencing rapid deforestation at the hands of its inhabitants won't ever cause any damage.

Where do you live . If man weren't on this earth everything would be like it was thousands of years ago with more animals , plants , trees , fresh air and water . Just imagine , no smog , contaminated water .
And you say man doesn't cause environmental changes on earth ? WOW ! Are you sleeping ?

I just love it when people try and mix science and political labels in a question on here.

BTW - the website you quote as a source uses as its sources mostly out of date information and people with very questionable credentials, or cherry picks discreet pieces of information to make its point. This is not science, it's politics and dogma.

Denying human effect on global warming is more profitable than correcting it. So we will "naturally" find more denial than correction because money dictates our policies and actions.
Anything cutting in on "the market" is going to be "debunked", no matter the consequences.

how quaint, there's still at least one hold out. how about the simple fact that we're burning over 80 million barrels of oil, globally, each and every day, that heat goes into our atmosphere but it came from millions of years ago, it doesn't belong in our time. FYI that's over 470,000,000,000,000 BTU/day that shouldn't be here. I do agree that someone has their eyes closed to the truth here but likely, their mind is also too closed to hear the it.

If you look at the climate history for the earth the only constant factor has been CHANGE. Active Volcanoes put hundreds of times more carbon into the air then the human population ever could.

But Libs have to have somethings to freak out about...it makes their poor pathetic lives worth living.

Thanks for the quick treatise in what truly IS "junk science". Greenhouse gases and depletion of the ozone layer are genuine problems, even if the Exxon-sponsored "studies" by activist scientists say otherwise.

I don't get global warming either. Mother Nature - the earth generates a lot more carbon dioxide than we do. Our production is about 1/30th of what occurs naturally through decomposition, etc. How could our 1/30th affect the earth that much??? This is a natural phenomenon!
