Is there really global warming?

Question

I have done some research and acually have found out the average tempature for each year have been lowering since 1998 (the hottest temp average) when 2002 got second and 2003 got third while 2004 got fourth. It seemed strange that all this talk of global warming is taking place when these tempature averages are lowering.

But look at is this way. Global warming is just about what humans do to the tempature right? Humans add about 6 billion tons of C2O where abouts natures adds 180 billion tons of C2O and i thought that would do ANYTHING. And if you have some arguements over that, carbon dioxide is 370 parts per. Thats about a can of coke in a 40x40 meter swimming pool. Therefor the carbon dioxide being a greenhouse gas is hardly true. Waper vapour on the other hand is about 10,000 parts per million.

Tempatures have not been rising at all since the last ice age. We have the highest temp average 9 years ago. since then (as i mentioned above) the tempature has been lowering. Many times in history has this happened

Dont give me anything about the ice age that has nothing concerning global warming. Even if the rising temp from the ice age was true it would not be the human races fault. First the humans had nothing that generated more C2O than any other animal. If you think that the earth is heating up unnaturally then you must think humans are a flaw and the earth was perfect the way it was before.

HOW CARBON AND CARBON DIOXIDE FUNCTION IN THE BIOSPHERE


WITHOUT CARBON DIOXIDE EVERY GREEN PLANT ON LAND AND SEA WOULD DIE. MANY BILLIONS OF TONS OF IT CIRCULATE BETWEEN ANIMALS AND PLANTS TO SUSTAIN ALL THE LIFE ON OUR BLUE PLANET.

The Carbon Cycle is awesome.
Every plant on earth and in the ocean breathes in Carbon Dioxide and breathes out Oxygen and every animal on the planet breathes in Oxygen and breathes out Carbon Dioxide on a gigantic scale that dwarfs the human burning of fuels.
The Earth teems and seethes with life, most of it is invisible, such as bacteria, algae and plankton. Our macro-fauna bodies constantly battle these microbes until the moment of death, when they quickly consume us. A Carbon Dioxide molecule from an animal is heavy and soluble and usually doesn't get far before it is grabbed by a plant.

You know I have also heard a lot about the ice caps melting? Sure in the north ever wonder why its not doing this in Antartica? If C2O is the cause why does it not go south? Does it not spread out over an area? If so then why is some places more affected than others. The ice caps takes thousands of years to melt. You always have to ask the question, what would have happened if it wasnt global warming? The tempatures have varied for every even the time of dinosaurs. Think about the ice ages. How does the earth's tempature drop so low without the humans help then again grow high? The earth is unbalanced as i said above and the human race does not tip the scale.

Wow, sorry everyone I just noticed i put C2O instead of the correct CO2

Answer 1

Absolutely not. The global temperature has risen and fallen over and over throughout history. Its simply a ploy for liberal extremists to further their agenda.

Answer 2

The temperature averages are lowering- in places that are supposed to be hot! Or, during times that are supposed to be warm.

When the earth gets warmer, which it is, the icebergs are melting, both in the north and south pole, and this causes the sea to rise, and causes the land to reduce, etc.

It's not good man.

Answer 3

Of course there is global warming. Temperatures have been rising since the end of the last ice age.

Answer 4

That acually sounds true. I always thought global warming was part true and part goverment scandle. I also have been doing some research after i read this and i found out it would cost about 20 million million dollars about 20000000000000.

Answer 5

I suggest you check the average low temperature too, and the effects of warmer climate on the number and severity of hurricanes, tornados, floods, droughts, ..... and see if these numbers have increased or not.

Answer 6

No. It is just corporate conspiracy to involve governments in coaxial profiteering and brainwashing you stooges into acceptance of a reality ..long past now..You reap what you sow...Grab it while you can..a Time honoured tradition of this particular planet...ask a gardener or farmer..

Answer 7

ecologists and scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.



go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history
and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more than ever each year )
: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,

i live now by the side of a river in Mexico where,in 30 years 5 species of fish have become exstinct .
and part of the year the river is dry this is for longer every year because of over use of water by agriculture and as a result of deforrestation.

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use
