If you refer to any recognised scientific journal, you will find that the papers concerning global warming all agree that there is global warming.

In other words, the recognised and combined scientific opinion is that global warming is real.

The only people getting rich off global warming are the executives and major stockholder of the fossil fuel industry (Who, ironically for your question, are indeed promoting global warming.)
Even the most true to the faith, Faux News faithful Bushies admit to the fact of global warming...they know that the earth is warming, and don't deny that part of the story. The thing they try to cast doubt on is the mechanism...is the earth warmer due to some natural cause, or due to human activities, specifically the relatively recent combustion of large amounts of fossil hydrocarbons.
Study of climate records and ice cores (and their encapsulated atmospheric samples, and water samples) have convincingly demonstrated that there is a relationship between the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and the average temp on earth. It is demonstrable that the rise in average global temp co-relates well with the onset of the industrial revolution and the increase in burning of fossil fuels. You can look at the evidence and either understand it or deny it, but you can't ignore it.
Given that we are undeniably getting warmer, what do you want to do...keep on and hope for the best, and hope that you are right that it is part of a natural cycle, or take rational preventative actions that might prevent the worst of the effects? Do you want to be the dumb frog that sits in the water as it slowly warms toward boiling, or shall we, as a species, be smarter than frogs and get the heat turned down before we boil?

Because there are a large number of ******* who are getting filthy rich promoting global warning as a myth and trying to create all kinds of confusions in a much larger ****** population who believes in them, got it ******.
Global warning is not only real but its gonna get you soon if it aint already.

Oh! I had no idea I was getting rich! They must be paying me in a secret bank account a bundle of money I don't know about!

Look, I went out and got a master's degree (and the debt to go with it) so that I could work for non-profits to help people make informed decisions so that our children can have an enjoyable world to live in which to live.

Read the science buddy. And ask someone in big oil how much they make and compare it to my salary that barely pays my rent.

Global warming IS real. If it continues at the current rate it will completely wipe out civilization. Luckily we have the technology to alter weather and cool things off.

Why do all these ******* keep getting richer neglecting the environment?

The same reason they promoted the coming ice age as a way to get money. "Doom" sells better than real science.

tell me how to do that ,i am poor and want to get rich
i give this message to a lot of people and nobody ,absolutely nobody has ever given me any money
so please give me money ,lots of it and want to be in on this racket

MANS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT

(this is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another story)
there are enough disaster areas in the world to come up with an inteligent analises ,you only have to investigate

POLITICS
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.



DEFORESTATION

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

the jungle gets smaller by the day
more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees
it is an impossible situation
as long as there is poverty in these regions the destruction will continue




ON THE GROUND
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
