Are there seriously skeptics who don't believe our planet's weather is changing?

Question

Are there really people who don't believe our planet's weather is changing in the extreme?

How old are you? If you're younger than 20, you don't really have the experience to refer to to make a negative opinion about it! I'm nearly 50 & I'll tell you, the Earth's weather is getting worse & worse every year!!!!

I remember, as a child, when nothing changed & everything was predictable & you could set your clock to how the weather would be according to the calendar. But today, nearly 30 to 40 years later, it's nuts!

The streets never pile up with snow anymore, that stays for months like it used to in my city. The Spring came a month early this year! We have tornadoes come through the city now where tornadoes were just a thing we saw on TV or in movies before! Our trees don't know WHAT's going on & sometimes start budding too early or don't bud at all for a year!

Are you argueing the reality of radical weather change just to be contrary? That's a dangerous prank to play

I saw a few Yahoo questions from people who doubted there was anything different with the weather and one where someone said Al Gore was a liar!

It just amazed me that anyone would believe the weather has NOT been a little whacky!

I'd be really interested in knowing how much the Earth's weather has changed since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the late 1700's! That might be a more precise estimation of man's polluting of the planet. Do you think we should go back as far as when the cavemen discovered fire? LOL

Answer 1

No, but alot of respected scientists question whether the weather change is caused by human activity and/or whether humans have the ability to affect climate change one way or the other. The earth has gone through alot of climate change in its 4 billion years, and it hasn't been proven conclusively that the current climate change is different.

Answer 2

I do know there are many people and scientists who don't believe in the global warming issue.
In my opinion, I believe a cyclical Climate Change is being accelerated by man. Yes there may be a natural cycle to weather and disasters. There is also a large possibility that man has jumped this cycle forward. This sounds silly, but in the movie "Day After Tomorrow" (the one where the huge "hurricane-like" storms cover the earth. The movie was based off a book, which dives into the scientific side of the debate. The mammoth found in the snow with food in its mouth actually happened, along with the large ice-blocks that fell from the sky. If you question this information, check out the book and it gives much more information.

Answer 3

The Earth's climate is changing. It has always been changing. Sometimes the trend is towards colder weather and sometimes the trend is towards warmer weather. These trends are long term (thousands of years) in duration. Changes that have occurred over 30-40 years are of no consequence because the are of such short duration. Too suggest that Earth's climate is changing in the extreme is nonsense, and is disputed by Earth's finest scientists.

Are you arguing the reality of radical weather change just because you are a radical, non-thinking, person?

It is extremely unwise to use data from such a short time period to attempt to make serious conclusions about the long term and what to do about it. Also, you seem to equate weather conditions in your tiny little corner of the world with the weather for all of Earth. Is that not a stretch?

Answer 4

I too am 50, going on 51 and I do remember the streets piling high with snow and the awesome thunderstorms we used to get. I also live in Michigan and our Great Lakes are much lower than they were 25 years ago.

I do agree that the weather is changing, but feel that our earth runs in cycles. Cycles that last hundreds or maybe thousands of years. Do I think we are experiencing global warming? Yes, as a natural earth cycle.

Answer 5

I am a meteorologist and I work with someone who is a big non-believer in global warming. I have no stance on the issue because I don't know all the facts supporting either side, but there are plenty of facts to back up the fact that global warming is not real, but simply a natural variation in Earth's temperatures.
Either way, we could stand to back off on the pollution and whatnot, whether or not it is causing global warming.

Answer 6

in case you look at an atheist maximum atheists are truly sensible, christians are basically many times stupid as even a christian will inform you there is not any info that god are any of the bible exists or is real, this is all based n faith (believing in something with none actual info). i think of this is basically because of the fact they decide directly to experience risk-free yet then they take it too heavily parading with signs and warning signs and attempting to tension there faith down different peoples throats with tension. yet believeing in god is truly like walking as much as someone and say "there's a flying spaghetti monster interior the sky" and them beliveing it, the only distinction is christians attempt to make god look life like and serious the place the vast element is, that's just about as dumb as a flying spaghetti monster. i'm am agnostic so i'm no longer able to provide you a bias opinion yet have self belief in what you opt to have self belief and basically attempt to be a stable person because of the fact inspite of what a christian says, that's what the international desires, stable human beings, no longer religous fascists.

Answer 7

Yes there are! In answer to your question. There are folks who believe the earth is flat!I hit the big five 0 6mos. ago; the weather hes definately C H A N G E D! I lived in Labrador in the 70s and to see how much the ice pack has diminished is scarry! R.H.W Regina

Answer 8

Your 50???

Big deal...

The earth is a lot older... The climate has been changing for BILLIONS of years...

Ever hear of the Ice Age??? Did Global Warming cause it to end???

Answer 9

Um...NO!!!!!!!!!!!! This changing of the weather goes through a cycle about every four hundred years or so. So unless you over half a MILLENNIUM old I would just keep your dumb a#s not factual opinions to yourself.

Answer 10

Your 50, huh? Guess how old the Earth is
