What makes you think global warmming is NOT true?

Question

As a person who does believe in the global warrming, I have heard that there are people who disbelieve such phenomenon. In other words, what makes you think that global warmming does not exist after the penguins are going extinct and the grapes stopped growing in Italy?
Explain.

Answer 1

if you really want to know...

spend an hour and a half and watch this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XttV2C6B8pU

it spells out the arguments against MAN MADE global warming and might even get you thinking...

global warming is real but it's a natural cycle, and the earth was a lot hotter a few hundred years ago...

check it out, it's good.

Answer 2

Climate has been changing continually for millions of years. What made previous ice ages retreat? Global warming.

The part that's is hotly debated is whether human generated greenhouse gasses are causing global warming. Many scientists think that it's a very minor contributor compared to natural causes such as variations of solar radiation and the earth's orbit. And don't forget that the most of the earth is molten rock and the heat transfer to the surface is also variable. Also water vapor and clouds have a much bigger impact on climate than carbon dioxide.

Answer 3

It's not that global warming doesn't exist, it does. Global cooling also exists. It just depends on what part of the ice age cycle we're currently in. But I disagree that increasing the CO2 content of the atmosphere from 300 to 383ppm has any effect, and here's why. CO2 is considered to be a greenhouse gas because it absorbs certain wavelengths of infrared light, converting it to heat. It absorbs these wavelengths completely in just under ten meters at the concentrations currently in our atmosphere. Now, if you increase the CO2 concentration, it completely absorbs the light in slightly under ten meters. This small amount of distance is completely insignificant in the effect it will have on heat retention.

Water, on the other hand has a much greater effect as a greenhouse gas. We're not about to regulate how much water we put in the air (as if we could control it anyway).

My advice is to just be prepared. We can't change the earth's orbit, the water content of the atmosphere, hurricanes, or the weather. But we can worry about more important things like mass pollution of our drinking water.

Answer 4

I think most people will acknowledge that the earth is getting warmer. Last year was the warmest on record. Period. Some claim, however, that man is not responsible, and that it is just a normal cycle that the earth's climate goes through. And we can tell that there have been times in the past when our climate was much warmer. (And we also know that those periods eventually passed, and we entered a significant cooling trend, and maybe even an "ice age".)
But the evidence is pretty strong that THIS warming trend is happening faster than any other.

Interestingly, as more and more scientific evidence has piled up over just the last year that man IS at least partly responsible, the resisitance from the other side has grown stronger. What really strikes me is that a significantly GREATER number of Republicans in the US Senate and Congress doubt man's hand in global warming when compared to just one year ago.

The evidence is pretty strong.

In my opinion, the republicans don't like the theory because it would be "bad for business", and, as far as I can tell, because all the treehugger liberals DO believe it.

(And Greenland was NOT called that because it was green! It was a cold, miserable place. That was all marketing, even back then.)

Answer 5

human beings like you Dana were declaring no longer some time previous that the said Owl became going extinct using logging in the Northwest and suggested in reality a similar difficulty you're saying the following. and then a lot later, the international unearths out what extremely became causing the shortcoming of life of that owl. Dana, you aren't from now on some thing yet a lemming, a biologic filter out waiting to filter out fact and fact and keep merely interior your mind it is what has been drilled into you by technique of your leftist pals. you aren't from now on a scientist because you do not have an open concepts, yet extremely a closed liberal concepts and that is you're attacked by technique of many human beings such as myself.

Answer 6

Here are the most common arguments currently being used by people to refute global warming....

Mars is experiencing global warming, the Martian ice caps are melting. Global warming isn't a problem confined to Earth but is something affecting other planets as a result of solar activity.

The world is cooling not warming and in recent years temperatures have fallen globally by as much as 2°C.

It's been much warmer in the past, in the Middle Ages vines were grown further north than they currently grow and Greenland was so named because, unlike now, it was a green land free of ice. Fossils of plants and trees have been found deep in what is now Antarctica.

The world has always warmed and cooled of it's own accord and we're currently in a warming period, something which is entirely natural.

Global warming is caused by volcanoes spewing out huge quantities of dust and ash, this is what's trapping heat in our atmosphere.

The whole concept of global warming is a government conspiracy designed to subjugate people and as an excuse to impose taxes and other penalties.

There is no scientific consensus on global warming, a lot of scientists don't believe it and many have signed petitions against global warming.

In the larger scheme of things, humans are so insignificant that there's no way they could have an effect on natural events.

The earth is now nearer to the sun than it used to be so it's bound to be warmer. There have also been changes in Earth's orbit which contribute to global warming.

Some of these arguments are factually accurate but when looked at in more detail it becomes apparent that they are not valid arguments in the case against global warming. Other arguments are wholly inaccurate, the remainder lie somewhere in between.

Answer 7

you reasearch data was as lacking as the evidence you presented in your thesis.

we have colder temps than ever on earth, and warmer ones. just humans are having a hard time adapting to them. global warming only affects those that scream? what about the quiet frogs that have been dying off for years?

your a hater that will over-look victims in a Katrina setting in favor of a shaving nick blood-bath pointed out but a dimcrap politician. Katrina has happened before, happened in the late 1800's in NYC actually. much warmer then. but that does not suit your political dim views and cannot see past the most recent earth-being-earth crisis.

in the 1970's it was the global cooling thing and oil futures grew at astounding rates. and that made money for Al Gore as well. and he mines crap out of the earth everyday to support his jet fueled rides to next speech locations. and if he cannot cover it then Tereasa covers it with her empire built on slave labor in ketchup factories. poisioning illegal workers for the common good of politics of the dimocraps. just look at tomato poisionings of walmart tomatoes in nc by illegals. babies without arms. better than oil drilling anyday.!

Answer 8

about 30 years ago, it was global cooling...newsweek, time, all the leading publications were all on board with this..now it's warming and there are more scientists who discount this than who do..when you look at the internet, you will find whatever is in your favor....i really want to know the truth, and i thionk enviromentalists are clouding the issue...

Answer 9

Just a little bit of really objective study, and getting off the "chicken little" hysterics of algore and his democs will get anybody, well . . . almost anybody, to see reality. It's a hoax of the first order. God Bless you.

Answer 10

You've now converted me. Grapes? Penguins? I' notice movies are bad now, too.

Amen.
