I'm doing a 20 question survey on global warming, what should I ask?

Question

I'm looking to ask questions that would give me good information

Answer 1

Here are a few:

1) Is there in fact global warming - i.e. is the average temperature of the earth increasing? Where are these readings coming from, or is the evidence simply anecdotal?

2) If there is GW, by how much is average world temperture anticipated to increase over the next 10 years? Over the next 100? What is the science behind those projections?

3) Is it long term or short term?

4) What were the causes of the many warming and cooling episodes over the millennia long before industrialization, including the last ice-age?

5) What scientific evidence is there that CO2 drives climate change? E.g, have there been periods in history with higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere but with lower global temperatures?

Answer 2

Ask,
What is the capacity for the oceans to absorb CO2?
Is more CO2 absorbed in cold water? And how does the 'buffer' system work to hold more CO2 than has ever been produced or will be produced?
Land area of the Earth? Oceans cover 85% of the Earth's surface. Trees and plants take up CO2 instantly when growing. But what about more than half the year when it is too cold them to grow? What about at night when there is no sunlight? So one half the time, not warm enough, that leaves 71/2 % of the time. Take away the night, 2/3's. That leaes only about 2% of the exposure is CO2 being cleared by the land plants. Whereas the ocean is absorbing CO2 24/7 over 85% of the earth's surface!! 98% of the exposure time and absorption is occuring at sea.
The carbon credits taxation is a fraud?
Next, ask how the CO2 is gettin up over 30,000 ft? JET engines burn 1-5 tons of kerosene per hour. There are thousands of hours of JET traffic per day over the Earth.
Each ton of fuel burned produces 3.66 tons of CO2 and 1.56 tons of water. Nature does not have an efficient method of clearing fuel from the upper atmosphere. CO2 is heavier than air, plus there is a down gradiant of colder air and surface absorption of CO2.
IF there is GW from CO2, it is more likely that it is from burning fuel in the upper atmosphere not from the surface.

Answer 3

here is a few-
Why do people think there is a connection between GW and the ozone layer when there isn't?
Is GW natural or man induced or both?
Is GW just a media hype?
Is GW used for political gains?
Is there profit to be gained from GW?
Is the average Joe getting the correct information to make an informed decision on GW debate?
Has the GW debate been sidetracked by the green movement?
Can we even fix the GW problem? (if there realy is one)
Dose long term statisics support GW?
Why is the sky blue?
Does water flow in the other direction on the other side of the equator?
What are next weeks lotto numbers?

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Ask about the effect of the changing temperature has on the plant life

Answer 5

1- factors, would be one
2- a question regarding ozone layer
