K, I know what is, but I want to hear it from a first person prospective. Some people say stupid things like its not happening...


IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So tell me

Global warming can refer to any greenhouse effect-induced warming of the earth. Current global warming is almost certainly caused/aggravated by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. The burning of these fuels emits CO2 gas, or carbon dioxide. This gas helps to trap solar radiation and heat the earth (greenhouse effect). This is a good thing, as it prevents the earth from freezing over every night. But when there is excessive amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere, there is excessive heating. This excessive heating will have drastic and unexpected consequences.

In response to hockey fan:
The Day After Tomorrow is a great movie, but it has lousy science. Don't trust that it's actually going to happen, even though global warming will have drastic consequences if it isn't dealt with.

The "Global Warming" concerns of today are much like the Ozone Hole concerns of twenty years ago. Bad science proposed by a few then steam-rolled by clueless and gutless politicians. The hole had been discovered forty years before by Dobson , long before some scientists made an issue of it and received lots and lots of grant money. It was a bonanza for DuPont and Allied Chemical because they got to make and sell most of the replacement refrigerants for the Freons. Beside that the best fire fighting agents ever developed, the Halons, were likewise banned from kitchens, airplanes, military vehicles, computer rooms, cruise ships. As a result,, people have been killed, because of untested computer models and unfounded predictions that say, statistically " we will be protecting the future generations." Sound familiar ?
The Montreal Protocol of the 1980's exempted the "developing countries" from the Freon phase-out and ban. Likewise the Kyoto Protocol has exempted the same "developing countries" with the knowledge that they would overtake the bad Americans with their emissions as their populations grew and their standard of living improved.
Sure enough, the UN reports that China has just overtaken the fat American pigs with their CO2 emissions. THe UN also reports that the methane from bovine flatuence exceeds the "Greenhouse Effect" caused by all transportation. The DuPonts are being replaced by the energy companies to exploit this manufactured cirsis. Likewise the evaporation of water vapor from marshlands exceeds the "Greenhouse Effect" of all CO2 emissions.
The greatest human contribution to "Global Warming" is the hot air coming from former Tennessee Senator and Vice President Albert Gore , followed by the inane news media and supported by University staff scientists looking for grant money because their boss says so. "Gorebal Warning " is a colossal rip-off. Just as Jessie plays the "Race Card" , Albert plays the "Green Card". They both have been playing their card games for decades. .
Now what about climate change ? The climate of the Earth always changes. It always has. George Bush had nothing to do with it. Neither did the Industrial Revolution. Solar intensity changes. Varying climatic and oceanic processes supplement and counter each other and it has to do with the way the entire, immensely complicated thermal - biological system works and we are like a popcorn fart in a hurricane. The earth has been in a warming peroiod since the glaciers of the Ice Age began to melt.
Follow the money.

Global warming is when ozone layer gets thinner and traps the sun heat melting the polar ice caps.

The description that used to be defined via so much posters as to what worldwide warming is, in phrases of the temperature emerging, is right. Most of the relaxation as to the "truth" that the Earth "will have to be cooling" is absolute nonsense. Nobody relatively is aware of what the Earth "will have to be" doing. The Epoch of the Holocene which adopted the Pleistocene which culminated in an monstrous glaciation, began approximately eleven,500 years in the past. Sea Level rose inside two-6000 years via approximately one hundred-a hundred forty five meters (330-470 ft) and so warming used to be many commonly quicker than at present. The relaxation of the time to the reward has been a interval with small rises in sea stage and warming (Medieval Warm Period) and cooling (Little Ice Age) time periods. Geologists on the whole demark Epoch limitations via the final fall in sea stage (Regression) on the inflection factor whilst sea stage begins to upward thrust once more (Transgression). The Sea Level Rises are on the whole a durable phenomenon of one million,000,000 to five,000,000 years however are scattered with minor cooling and warming cycles. The Holocene Epoch is demarked because the begin of a important warming interval that most effective began eleven,500 years in the past. The likelihood that it's going to maintain is totally top. That has NOTHING to do with guy. It is solely the statistical norm within the whole absence of guy's impact. The cost of warming within the Arctic passed the cost of warming of the put up 1980 interval however no person believes that when you consider that it ruins the exaggeration for the alarmists! See Fig two of my hyperlink beneath. Look at the upward push in temperature from 1920-1939. This is a revered "peer reviewed" magazine. You do not must be a scientist to look for your self. In the Devonian and Cretaceous Epochs warming tendencies with significant sea stage upward thrust lasted in far more than 20 million years every. The Devonian used to be the "Golden Age" of coral (honestly stromatoporoid) reefs that illustrate flawlessly the adaptability of ocean existence to warming seas with emerging sea stage. No massive die offs of the reefs and gigantic precipitation/secretions of CaCO3 into marine organisms' shells! You will become aware of that no person defined the mechanism of the way CO2 creates the "greenhouse" outcome. The IPCC use the phrase "blanket" good the blanket could be a blanket with a one million mm thread rectangular and a ten meter rectangular gap within the center. That is one awful blanket! The NASA persons use the time period "radiating" implying that the CO2 after being the absorber of Earth sourced IR, then re-radiates that vigor or "warmness" again to the Earth. That isn't very believable considering the fact that the surroundings above the close floor layer of the surroundings grades from a temperature of +eight.5C at 1000m elevation to -eighty two.5C on the best of the troposphere (scale down surroundings). Generally a hot item in no way warms a hotter item only a cooler area, This is needed to comply to the Laws of Thermodynamics. I have a hyperlink explaining that predicament however it's in "math" lingo. The final mechanism that "greenhouse" persons love to "give an explanation for" is the truth that CO2 can replicate IR that the Earth emits as a way to be in temperature steadiness. This works, however keep in mind that CO2 is most effective zero.038% of the surroundings. That implies that tiny little invisible CO2 mirrors (which might be certainly there) then replicate a part of the Earths IR imbalance again on the Earth. In a functional calculation, that could look to intend that the 15-17% IR that's unaccounted for in different Earth temperature procedures of Evaporation and Convection, can also be mirrored again to Earth within the quantity of 15% X zero.038% = zero.fifty seven% of emitted IR are mirrored again. I am no longer particular of the latter calculation, nevertheless it a logical one. The gentle mirrored via a replicate will have to be immediately a role of the volume of sunshine and the quantity of mirrors. Please believe loose to provide an explanation for if any one can do bigger at the mirrored image predicament! The final hyperlink I most effective incorporated when you consider that the cool animated film of Holocene vs Today refrences the customary supply authors, it's been converted via many "skeptics" considering the fact that then nevertheless it looks to be rather correct.

it is when sunbeams are blocked from going out of the earths atmosphere therefore heating up the earths atmosphere. greenhouse gases is pollution from fossli fuels.
