Your views on global warming?

Question

I belive its all a myth there have been scientific discoveries of natural times of heat and ice ages. Did humans cause the Ice age? i think not. Any one know about the global cooling scare in the 70's. And what if it all is a matter of gravity; The moon puses earth closer to the sun, sun pulls earth closer and for cooler years earth takes a slingshot move around the sun and the moon pulls earth closer.

Answer 1

There's a completely overwhelming amount of scientific data showing that it's real and caused mostly by man.

Short version:

The best summary of the data:

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

The data is why scientists know it's mostly us and not the sun, volcanoes, etc. The data is why the vast majority of scientists think it's real. Proof.

Watch the national news tonight, pick up a paper, or check a major news source on the Net. This truth should now be clear to all:

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”

Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican, Maine

"I agree with you (Gore) that the debate over climate change is over."

Rep. Dennis Hastert, Republican, Illinois

"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

"We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican, Governor, California

"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."

John McCain, Republican, Senator, Arizona

Answer 2

The theory of man-made global warming is false. The earth goes through natural cycles of heating and cooling. Take a look at this http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature/
this is the data from NASA’s weather balloons that clearly shows the earth is not warming.
Ice cores are often cited as evidence by pro-global warming scientists but take a look for yourself at the data analyzed here http://www.john-daly.com/zjiceco2.htm
Look at this report http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm (a side note many global warming activists will claim a scientific consensus that link shows that this claim is a complete lie. The site is a petition against global warming signed by over 17,000 scientists.)
This site http://www.worldclimatereport.com/ has many links to all sorts of scientific evidence that disproves the poles are melting, animals are worse off, and many other arguments that global warming scientists make. Humans put out very small amounts of greenhouse gasses compared to natural processes even the EPA admits that http://www.epa.gov/methane/intlanalyses.html.
Just a brief look at the data shows that global warming is nothing more than a misinterpretation of data. The IPCC’s report is not a credible source, they have used forged data before (the famous hockey stick graph which later had to be retracted after a warming phase during the 1400’s was proven to have been purposely left out due to the fact that the peak high temperature during that period was much higher than today), I have looked at their website and I see no data that proves humans are to cause, they have dozens of graphs showing CO2 emission but where is the proof that this causes global warming. CO2 makes up only .03% of our atmosphere shown here: (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761559991/Atmosphere.html). How could something so small have such a big effect? The fact is global warming, if that’s even occurring, is caused mostly by the sun which studies have shown to be hotter now than ever before. Volcanoes and evaporation of surface water put more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than we ever could. Unknowing people who have no scientific background are made to believe in global warming because evidence against the theory is repressed. Look at who is supporting global warming: politicians to get votes, scientists to get media time and grants, CEO’s to try to get more business. There is much money to be made off the fear of the general population. To anyone who believes in global warming I ask you where does your “scientific” evidence stand after reading the materials in this answer?

Answer 3

I let the people believing it is a myth talk and even act...

Nevertheless, if they are proven wrong, the entire planet would have the right to write the bill to the US since they are the ones avoiding an efficient action.

So if you´re wrong (which I didn´t say), in this case, the 185 million of endangered Africans by it (if the prediction of the IPCC are right) should directly be sent to the US.

Ready to take the risk ? You´re free to deny it. But in case you are wrong, you will have to assume the consequences.

If I am wrong, I´ll just have to pay you 100$

Answer 4

Whatever its factual, scientific basis is, I absolutely know what its being used for by leftists all over the world. Another excuse for making the western democracies feel guilty about having a high standard of living so that they'll pay reparations to the third world. Read the Kyoto Accords if you don't believe me.

Answer 5

Well, the sun's output has gone up .2% in the last 40 years and Mars and Pluto are warming up also, so make your own conclusion. I believe a lot of people are going to make a lot of money from a lot of people who get screwed by legislators. Read all about it in a 2003 article that everone chooses to ignore.
