Still believe in global warming?

Question

Answer 1

I do!!

I don't believe that humans caused it. Global temperatures have fluctuated since the earth was formed. It will continue to change.

Carbon level rises and temperature rises have gone hand in hand according to information gathered by scientists but what is little mentioned is the fact that carbon levels came AFTER temp rises, by about 400 years. Indicating that it is temp change that causes carbon levels to change... which makes total sense, more organic matter growing, more emissions from the sea. The vast majority of carbon comes from the ocean being warmed, then organic life, then volcanic activity then the remaining relatively tiny amount comes from human activity. A more accurate correlation is the frequency of sunspots (solar activity) and temp rises.

Don’t get me wrong though, I appose the reckless rape of our earth’s finite natural resources.

Answer 2

Yes. Everything in the article was fairly old news. Scientists have known for decades that the warming up to the early 1940's probably wasn't very heavily affected by human activities.

Also note the quote in the aritcle which reads "Although warming, particularly after 1920, was likely caused by increases in atmospheric trace gases."

Answer 3

I read it. Did you?

Here's what it says:

"From 1840 to the mid-20th century, the Arctic warmed to the highest temperatures in four centuries."

... and ...

"warming, particularly after 1920, was likely caused by increases in atmospheric trace gases"
(That means CO2.)

So this guy is saying that the Arctic is getting warmer, and that greenhouse gases have been the primary cause of this since 1920. Is this the best evidence you've got that there is no global warming?

Answer 4

just for fun i asked a question in polls and surveys and again in religion
who thought Global warming was a lie ,and who was religious ,

granted many people believed in God and also believed in climate change ,

but
the fact emerged that ALL of the people who denied Global warming ,who said it was a hoax ,were without any exceptions ,religious


FACT OR FICTION
many North Americans are used to fiction and they 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

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 An American statesman , 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 many 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 ,

Answer 5

Of course I still believe in global warming.. there is a lot of pure, hard science that proves it.

I also know that humanity is not the cause of it.. for exactly the same reason.

Answer 6

Look, climates change. It's just what they do, and have always done. The Earth is not a static biosphere.

The real question is, how will we deal with it?

Just to clarify - yes, I believe in climate change, but I'm not convinced that human-produced CO2 has anything to do with it..............and I should know something about that. I have a masters in Environmental Engineering.

Answer 10

Of course. It is a fact. Deny it and watch your children and grandchildren die.
