Where is the PROOF for Global Warming?

Question

I beleive it is a hoax.

Answer 1

What you didn't say, and it may have helped if you had, is why you think global warming is a hoax.

Some people do think it's a hoax and it's understandable why they do.

The science behind global warming is something that's been known about and understood for a long time - way before any of us were born. For many years the scientist's warings fell on deaf ears because the implications were so great. Here's an old movie clip from 50 years ago - http://dabble.com/node/7990034

By the 1980's the public were seeing for themselves the devastating effects of global warming and the evidence was so great that it couldn't be ignored any longer. Politicians began to take notice and the first Earth Summit was held in Rio in 1991. Seven years later came the Kyoto Protocol, only two countries didn't sign up to it - America and Australia.

Whilst the rest of the world were left to make up their own minds, in the US it became a political issue, it was almost a case of Reps Vs Dems and when that happens each side resorts to a policy of misinformation, fabrication and distortion to win their case. The American public, instead of being able to decide based on the science, were being bombarded by conflicting arguments and naturally they began to question the validity of the science.

Similarly, whilst big business around the world looked to the future and began implementing changes the policy in the US was largely one of denial; none more so than by the big oil companies. They deliberately set about undermining the science and employed people to spread rumours and create an air of suspicion - much the same as the tobacco industry did.

The result is that almost everybody outside of the US acknowledges the threat posed by global warming and is doing something about it, there is much more dissent within the US. This is bad news for the US beause the rest of the world is forging ahead with new technology and making large scientific advances but the US is getting left behind.

If you look at the evidence put forward to dispute global warming none of it can be traced back to a reliable source. So much so that of the 928 scientific reports to study global warming (all aspects of it), 928 of them agree it is real.

On the face of it there are some seemingly convincing arguments that global warming is not the fault of mankind. You've probably heard about the natural cycles the earth goes through and that other planets are also warming. What you're being told is only part of the picture.

Whilst the earth does go through natural cooling and warming periods these occur over thousands and millions of years and are very slow compared to what we're seeing now. Some of the other planets and moons in the solar system are warming - in total 5 out of 172 of them, the other 167 aren't warming.

If you dig deeper into the evidence you'll find that the arguments in the case for global warming can be traced right back to their origins and backed up by scientific data. If you do the same with the arguments against global warming you'll find they can't be traced back to anything.

99+% of scientists around the world believe global warming is real and mostly caused by us. And any number of very distinguished people, too.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Here are two summaries of the mountain of data that convinced Admiral Truly, short and long.

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know - except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics. Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point,You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

"climate science from climate scientists"

Answer 3

the adaptation in "greenhouse gases" quantities to approximately 3.14 W/m^2 boost in "forcing" considering 1750 (see CDIAC hyperlink). the completed quantity of the solar's warming totals 1353 W/m^2, so because it relatively is approximately 0.23 p.c., up from 1750, the Little Ice Age. It replaced into severe-high quality to have issues heat up a fragment of a level considering that element, and those (14 p.c. human; see cdiac hyperlink: FAQ #7) greenhouse gases (that are many times a results of the organic heat-up) have a minimum result, and well-known climate differences have been exaggerated in the downstream media in accordance to their very very own self-serving tendency in the direction of sensationalism.

Answer 4

that is because you have been spared so far
when you start paying through the nose for water to drink and food prices will hit the roof .you will sing a different tune .

FACT OR FICTION

FICTION
for many North Americans ,but they are used to fiction and feel more comfortable with fairytales instead of the truth,

Many blindly believe that our fate is in Gods hands ,and their focus is on the beautifull heaven that awaits ,they are not to concerned with the world their children will inherrit

whilst others wish to enjoy an Earthly paradise ,with out having to die first,they care what happens here and want to help the planet

there may come a time that for the sake of our survival the two views will be seperated in to Enemies and friends of the planet

World leaders are not concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by Kissinger, that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.

scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political and economic reasons

HOWEVER CLIMATE CHANGE IS FACT FOR MILLIONS
Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming mainly man made desertification

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities ,is another story

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but mans existance has its effects,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
and there are 70 million more peole every year that have to eat and drink and wash

who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

if forrest are being exchanged for ashalt,concrete and desserts
what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us

We as humanity can behave in a less stressful manner as far as the Environment is concerned ,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, Source(s) Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has
come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,
his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into many languages and won the best book award in 2003

Answer 5

Go to Greenland and watch the Ice melt. Go to Alaska and see how much the Glaciers have reseeded. Go to Switzerland and count the sky resorts that have closed due to no snow last winter. The permafrost in the Alps is melting. What more proof due you need?

Answer 6

Google it. or look at the statistics for polar bears and arctic ice.

Answer 7

Ask Eric he is into that heavy./ and believe me i don't know allot but its no joke.
