Here is what a lot of scientists are asking about Global Warming.
1. To what effect does local albedo have a global climate?
2. How does the Earth move from an ice age to a hot house climate? (We honestly don't know, and it is a very cutting edge area of research.)
3. What will be the counter effect of aerosol? (Things like clouds which reflect radiation back into space. Area that desperately needs more study.)
4. How do we get better carbon and oxygen isotope readings for times before the Antarctic and Greenland Glaciers?
5. How do we get politicians to actually stop yelling at each other and listen to us?
If you really want to impress your teachers try reading the IPCC fourth assessment summary for policy makers. It is the cutting edge science in climatology.

1) Why do idiots believe in Global Warming?
2) Why do idiots let schools brain wash our kids with this trash?
3) Why do idiots think that the same weatherman that can't predict next weeks weather is right about this stuff?
4) Why do idiots believe that the same people that thought we were headed to a nuclear winter in the 1980's got it right this time?
5) Why do idiots believe that we can really tell what the surface tempature was like millions of years ago to compared against today's tempatures?
6) Why do idiots not remember the natural cycle of things and blame it all on mankind?
7) Why do idiots think that global warming has not been caused by the end of piracy. If global warming has only been going on for the last few hundreds of years it could have just as easily been caused be the end of priatcy.
8) Why do idiots think that mankind is so gulliable that we will keep electing these fools to office that believe this crap?
9) Why do idiots keep wasting tax dollars on this subject?
10) Why do idiots not except that it is a natural cycle and blame mankind?
11) Why do idiots buy hybrid cars?
12) Why do idiots recycle when it takes more energy to recycle some things then it does to make new items?
13) Why do idiots let congress pass laws that make us buy things like ULSD?
14) Why do idiots think that the internal combustion engine is bad?
15) Why do idiots not ask questions of these fools?
16) Why do idiots let states make us use those stupid fume catchers at the pump?
17) Why do idiots waste my time with this nonsense?
18) Why do idiots not know about "the Little Ice Age"?
19) Why do idiots let these idiots make policy?
20) Why do idiots trust Al Gore?

Media Shows Irrational Hysteria on Global Warming
"The Public Has Been Vastly Misinformed," NCPA's Deming Tells Senate Committee
12/6/2006 5:57:00 PM
To: National Desk
Contact: Sean Tuffnell of the National Center for Policy Analysis, 972-308-6481 or sean.tuffnell@ncpa.org
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- David Deming, an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma and an adjunct scholar with the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), testified this morning at a special hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The hearing examined climate change and the media. Bellow are excerpts from his prepared remarks.
"In 1995, I published a short paper in the academic journal Science. In that study, I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in North America over the last 100 to 150 years. The week the article appeared, I was contacted by a reporter for National Public Radio. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me.
"I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period." "The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of unusually warm weather that began around 1000 AD and persisted until a cold period known as the "Little Ice Age" took hold in the 14th century. ... The existence of the MWP had been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. But now it was a major embarrassment to those maintaining that the 20th century warming was truly anomalous. It had to be "gotten rid of."
"In 1999, Michael Mann and his colleagues published a reconstruction of past temperature in which the MWP simply vanished. This unique estimate became known as the "hockey stick," because of the shape of the temperature graph. "Normally in science, when you have a novel result that appears to overturn previous work, you have to demonstrate why the earlier work was wrong. But the work of Mann and his colleagues was initially accepted uncritically, even though it contradicted the results of more than 100 previous studies. Other researchers have since reaffirmed that the Medieval Warm Period was both warm and global in its extent.
"There is an overwhelming bias today in the media regarding the issue of global warming. In the past two years, this bias has bloomed into an irrational hysteria. Every natural disaster that occurs is now linked with global warming, no matter how tenuous or impossible the connection. As a result, the public has become vastly misinformed."

umm, I'll give you about five questions.
1. how can you help stop global warming?
2. what's the cause of global warming?
3.when do you think it all started?
4.what might be the effect of global warming?
that's all I can think of, sorry I couldn't get you more!

some undemanding data: sure, there is worldwide Warming. It has got here approximately in the previous and it will take place lower back. occasion: center a protracted time, the international warming grow to be of course led to via guy then additionally. The Ice caps have melted, on conventional, a mere quantity, inflicting the sea point to upward thrust a mere quantity. I relatively have heard claims that 40% of the ice caps are already long gone. If that have been actual, the sea point might have risen 3 ft. extreme incorrect information. guy contributes purely minimally to worldwide warming. I relatively have heard claims that ninety% of climate scientists say guy outright led to the international warming. that's an outright lie. The parent is extra like 10%. possibly ninety% p.c. have self belief that guy CONTRIBUTES yet no longer reasons worldwide warming. incorrect information. worldwide warming is a political gadget used to divert interest from massive Oils raping of usa. it particularly is the main modern-day in a line of intentional distractions via politicians. As others have mentioned the “style of the month”. What has your flesh presser finished approximately massive Oil. in all probability no longer something or incorrect information. worldwide warming is actual yet used via Alarmists via awful exaggerations and careful incorrect information. those Alarmists spout assorted data and figures with little or no actuality at the same time as denouncing something that contradicts their perspectives. I frequently think of their movements take me back to the actuality of psycho activities followers who freak out in case you dare to assert something is incorrect with their group. there is robust interior the international warming debate. it is going to cut back pollution and improve capability performance. I don’t want lies and incorrect information to get me to have self belief that.

A real good question for your teacher:
Which has a bigger impact on the environment an automobile or a building? The answer... buildings.
http://www.architecture2030.org/
Please visit this web link for more information and to links to the facts that do back up global warming and raw energy consumption.
The reason for recycling is not to conserve on energy. Its to conserve on raw materials that we are depleting on an unprecedented rate.
Buildings produce more carbon dioxide, expand more energy than an automobile, and they require more energy to build, to maintain, to heat and cool, and to light.
And in response "cdw's" answer to you... some people may believe what they want, especially when they are the ones buying monster homes that require massive amounts of energy to build and run. And driving giant SUV's that are sucking up our energy reserves. It makes the extra energy to used on recycling seem like a small blip. The reason for recycling is not to conserve on energy. Its to conserve on raw materials. Please educate youself before you throw in your two cents. It makes you sound like ... well...an idiot.
