I need some websites that prove global warming is not occuring. Please help!?

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but it is occuring. Whether or not it is mostly a natural cause or a result of human interaction is up for debate.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, but such websites do not exist. There are, however, websites which purport to prove that global warming is not occurring. A great (terrible) example of this is junkscience.com. Try not to restrict your search to only web sites that support your view. You'll find plenty of them, for sure. But you may be missing good (and correct) information. To give you a preview of what you'll find, climate change deniers usually depend on the following arguments:

- Global warming is caused by fluctuations in radiation from the sun (Wrong. In fact, the radiative forcing from all anthropogenic CO2 emissions to date is 1.66W/m2, while the radiative forcing from the change in solar radiation since 1750 is only 0.12W/m2. Clearly, fluctuations in the sun are not a major factor.)

- Volcanic eruptions emit a lot more CO2 than humans. (Wrong. If volcanoes were contributing to the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, volcanic eruptions would show up as spikes in the measured data. In fact, CO2 concentrations have been increasing steadily, without even the smallest spike)

- Changes in CO2 concentrations haven't matched changes in temperature in the past (True in some cases, but a misleading point. Cooling that occurred from 1940 to 1975 when CO2 increased dramatically was a result of the increase in particulate pollution. Particulates in the air were cleaned up after that, and the warming effect of CO2 dominated.

- In ice core data, increases in CO2 concentrations have been shown to lag behind increases in temperature. (True, but also misleading. Warming oceans release more CO2. But just because CO2 levels increase as a result of warming doesn't mean that CO2 does not also cause warming. It's called positive feedback. And it's one of the greatest risks of continuing along the 'business as usual' path of fossil fuel use.)

- There used to be vineyards in England. (Irrelevant. Anyways, there are still vineyards in England)

Answer 3

If you do find any referrals from here, you need to understand what these websites are doing. They are trying to apologise for big business which doesn't want any interruption to their flow of profits! The Oil industry (for one) is funding research which is, to put it simply, corrupt.

The coal and energy sectors are others which will see their profit margins slump if they were to accept the truth of the matter - that global warming is here and it is VERY likely to have been caused by our burning of coal, our predeliction for eating meat (cows are a significant contributor to the problem) and by the cabal of car manufacturers and oil industries.

This is the main reason why the US and Australia are so very reluctant to sign on to any policy such as the Kyoto Treaty. Big Business are the financial source of many politician's ability to win elections so the pollies are not going to upset their own apple carts by annoying their funders.

This is also the reasoning behind Al Gore being lambasted for his house and the energy which it consumes. If you look deeper into this situation, you'll see that there's a whole lot of "shoot the messenger" stuff going on there. Al Gore has invested a lot of money into alternative technologies which offsets his use of energy. Of course I'm not keen on his rampant use of resources, but at least he's trying to offset such use!

Please be very open to the conflicting viewpoints you'll find here and on other websites for which you'll get notice. Understand what I've said above and look deeply into the reasons there is such a conflict!

Love and Light,


Jarrah

Answer 4

Sorry, global warming is real.

I'm sure someone will come up with some websites that deny it. So you'll have some that claim it is not occurring. But none of them prove that, because it's false.

Most, if not all of their wrong arguments are answered here.

Answer 5

There aren't any, really. Just a bunch of junk science sites trying to fool the uneducated and weak minded.

The overwhelming consensus in the scientific community is that global warming is real (in fact, not one single scientist working today denies this fact) and heavily influenced by humans.

That aside, if you really need to find an actual scientific skeptic- not just some hack trying to push a political agenda, like Timothy Ball- I would look to Richard Lindzen. He's really the only person who's posed any scientific objections to some of the claims made by the GW theory, even though most of them have been refuted by other climate scientists.

So please, oh please, stick with Lindzen and ignore anything written by one of the anti-global warming quacks, like Rush Limbaugh and Timothy Ball. You'll only embarrass yourself in the end.

Edit: Oops. I forgot to give you any sites. Here are the best pro and anti-GW sites I am aware of:

Pro:
illconsidered.blogspot.com (A Blog run by a guy who is just very interested in the whole GW debate, and has loads of refutations of the junk science claims made by the majority of deniers)

realclimate.org (This is my personal favorite- it's a Blog run by fifteen highly qualified climate scientists who give only the facts, and try to avoid letting any politics into their articles)

www.ipcc.ch (You can read the entire IPCC report online for free here)

Anti:

http://www-eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen.htm (Richard Lindzen's home page. Nothing about global Warming here, you can just learn a bit about him)

And, uh, just search for articles by Lindzen. That's the best you can do for ant site, really. But you should be sure to check on RealClimate and see if they've refuted the argument before presenting it to anyone else, since most of his objections have already been dealt with.

Answer 6

Global warming is a proven fact--so there are no such websites.

Answer 7

Sure you can find websites that are propaganda put out by businesses, but it isn't true. There aren't any truthful websites like that.
