If global warming exists, why are so many meteorologists skeptical?

Question

Many respected meteorologists are saying that global warming is a political issue more than a scientific one. Al Gore first said he invented the internet now he is an expert on global warming. He is a politician, not a scientist. I am a scientist and when I look at all the facts, I am not convinced that this latest craze is as critical as Gore and his other political cronies make it out to be. I also believe no one or 2 countries can make a difference anyway. I heard that >50% of the smog in LA comes from Chinese factories half a world away. Many nations still use DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons as pesticides, and they are not being blamed by Mr. Gore.

I think the skepticism is from the fact that if there is global warming then it is a natural cycle rather than the burning of fossil fuels. I am listing some prominent scientists who either believe that global warming is a myth or believe it is a natural cycle. Ian Clark, Univ. of Ottawa, MR Morgan, climate consultant for the UK, George Taylor, Oregon State Univ. and president of the Am. Assn. of Atmospheric Science, Patrick Michael , Univ. of Virginia, Dr. Fred Singer of the National Weather Service, and James Spann of ABC Weather. There are too many skeptics to discount their beliefs rather than accepting everything blindly as truth.

Answer 1

I am well educated in the sciences as well. In my strong opinion Global Warming is a hoax. The real topic is climate change which is a naturally occurring process.

Al Gore is a fraud, that's a given. If he cared at all about the environment he would be walking the walk instead of consuming enough energy to power a small city. He is only promoting the global warming hysteria for his own benefit, nothing more.

Do you notice that those who believe in global warming are completely unwilling to listen to reason or facts? They are going to come along and give us thumbs down but are not going to cite a single fact. For the majority the belief in global warming is a knee jerk reaction more like a religion than anything to do with real science.

TJTB:
No, the international scientific community does not agree that global warming is a fact! That is completely untrue propoganda. The scientists agree it is a theory that might be true and further, that it theoretically might be related to mankind's activities. Calling a theory a fact is a lie.

Answer 2

you comprehend Dana, if any real looking individual went to their wide-unfold practitioner and the wide-unfold practitioner mentioned "i'm sorry yet i think of you will have maximum cancers, if we act now we can cope with it" it would be a fool who might forget approximately approximately their wide-unfold practitioner or attempt to comb aside the wide-unfold practitioner's professional opinion. properly, the scientists are telling us the planet has maximum cancers and that we'd desire to act now till now it gets worse. Too a lot of human beings are ignoring them. Too a lot of human beings are being slefish - that is not their planet that is everone's planet. - - - - - - - - - - - - TO C.BARLA (Above) permit me shed some easy on the valid factors you made. The final ice agen ended because of the area of Earth interior the numerous cycles that it and the solar flow with the aid of, those reason peiodic and predictable warming and cooling. those organic cycles have been around on account that time immemorial and are the only set off for historic warming and cooling. We do comprehend why the planet is waring on the instant - an strengthen in atmospheric greenhouse gasoline concentrations. via and massive the comparable gases grant a organic greenhouse result that ensures this planet maintains a liveable temperature. They effectively insulate the planet by way of their actual ability of blockading the get away into area of thermal radiation. Any ameliorations to their concentrations impacts the insulative properties of our ecosystem. We additionally comprehend very plenty concerning to the solar, plenty so as that we can degree variance right down to millionths (of Watts consistent with sq. metre consistent with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days) finally, no those are not the comparable those that have been foretelling the arrival of yet another ice age back interior the 70's. that's extra the artwork of the media than of scientists and is a few thing that some skeptics have blown out of all share. in certainty, there replaced into no international cooling scare interior the 70's as all people who replaced into around back then will be sure.

Answer 3

Gore just wants to convence u to ride a bike or walk so he can ride his plain. The CO2 is not there because the plants and photosynthesis has taken care of most of it. The more CO2 the faster the plants will grow. Look photosynthesis on the net so u can understand that mother nature set it up this way. Gore will tell u anything hoping for another chance at the presidential . This is bad for the working people and is designed to cripple the US . We need to do what we can to make sure that we all have equal chance . Would tell u more about methane but is more stupid than the CO2.

Answer 4

Meteorologists know that it is impossible to model a complex system and predict outcomes with any real degree of accuracy.

I DO love hearing the word 'unanimous' in reference to the 'international science community'. Refuting that statement only requires finding ONE scientist who does not agree.

Answer 5

Because there will always be people skeptical of any idea, theory, or fact, especially ones with so many implications.

What percentage of meteorologists are skeptical, 1%, 10%...? How many is "so many"?

It sounds more like you have a problem with the messenger than the message. In which field do you hold a degree as a scientist? I would expect that if you're a scientist, you'd have a more rigorously-framed question.

Answer 6

The international scientific community unanimously agrees that global warming is a fact. Please name the metereologists who disagree. The local weather guy doesn't quite have the same credentials as the collective international scientific community.
