Is global warming a serious issue?

Question

i just need some reliable websites to pull out information about a paper that i have to do about global warming

Answer 1

Short summary to put you in the picture:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Climate_Change_Attribution.png

The best summary of the scientific data:

http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf

A ton of science about it here:

http://www.realclimate.org

"climate science from climate scientists"

and here:

http://www.pewclimate.org/

The movie recommended above is bad science.

http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/climate_change/article2355956.ece

" A Channel 4 documentary claimed that climate change was a conspiratorial lie. But an analysis of the evidence it used shows the film was riddled with distortions and errors"

There's a detailed analysis of how the science is wrong on realclimate.

Answer 2

1. Don't ise websites. Wikipedia and the like are not acceptable sources of information for something that is going to be graded. I wouldn't even use Real Climate or CO2 Science as primary sources. If you use them, make sure you reference the works they cite and not the website. Also avoid regular media such as newspapers and news magazines, their work is not reviewed before publication.

2. Form your thesis statement first. Then determine the structure of your paper. That will narrow your search terms.

3. Hit up SciFinder Scholar, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for peer reviewed journals. These are the best source of information available.

4. Start NOW. Global warming is a huge field with a lot of information to wade through.

Answer 3

Write your own paper since you are clearly a brainiac, i.e. "I don't think that evolution is valid either". P.S. Here is an example of Evolution: THE EVOLUTION OF QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ASKED IN THE PAST FEW HOURS: I want reasons why global warming is NOT going to destroy the earth.? 2 hours ago Is global warming a serious issue? 2 hours ago Reasons why you believe global warming is not a concern to the earth? 3 hours ago Maybe next time you shouldn't procrastinate.

Answer 4

The answer really depends on who you ask. On a large scale, that is globally, it shouldn't be a big problem. There are so many different sides to this issue that one can probably find any opinion if one searches long enough. Just try typing global warming into your browser and you will get many pages of sites.

Answer 5

I think global warming is garbage. There is a link below that contains a video off of youtube that is about 80 minutes long. to sum it up in a just a few points:

CO2 does not drive temperature changes, they are almost exclusively driven by
the sun

-The correlation between CO2 and temperature is from CO2 coming out of solution
with the oceans with increased temperature, (i.e. CO2 goes up b/c temperature
goes up, instead of the other way round)

-Even if the temperature did go up, temperatures even in the last 2000 years
have been far warmer than they are now, and life not only survived, but
flourished as usual

Answer 6

If you look in the bibliography of Michael Crichton's Book "State of Fear" There are excellent websites and books about global warming. I highly recommend reading the book too.

Answer 7

(you should watch the movie:
An Inconvenient Truth
by Al Gore)

A serious issue? My belief is that nobody actually can comprehend how serious it is. The planet, I believe, is on an intricate timer that we started. As the temp of the ocean's rise, our whole weather system starts faltering. And first, the smallest form of food on the life depending food chain starts dwindling. Thus(obviously), affecting every single thing on the food chain. As we loose more ice in the antarctic and arctic, the water levels rise. I believe global warming will result in the extinction of all life on earth. And I believe it will snowball faser and faster, never turning back no matter what we do. And to think we did it to ourselves.

Answer 8

Yes, the planet's natural warming and colling cycles are VERY serious.
The fact is, no matter what we humans do, the Earth is getting hotter. And we need to get ready for it.

I'll look for some good sites for you.
