A Q about global warming?

Question

what do u thing. Do u believe Al Gore who thinks CO2 is raising the temp. or do u believe London reseachers who thinks the temp. is raising the CO2? Or do u believe in somethings else? Explain!

Answer 1

Not sure which London researchers you're referring to. I studied climatology at University College London and know a lot of researches in London and none of the ones I know think that temp is raising CO2 (historically yes but currently no). I'm several days behind with current developments, if it's a new report it's maybe something I've not seen - do you have a link?

As to who I beleive...

Al Gore isn't a scientist, he's effectively a messenger delivering somebody else's science. He's also a politician and I'm always wary of anything politicians say.

I beleive in science - not the one sided science that sets out to prove a point but the independent science that has no objectives and no ulterior motives other than to study all aspects of the subject. This is the best source of reliable information as it's not contaminated by politics, big business or other interests.

Answer 2

'London reseachers who think the temp. is raising the co2?'
Scientists have taken 'plugs' of ice formations and found the highest concentration 'frozen' in the upper levels: ie: In the recent past the CO2 in all temperatures is more concentrated.
Al Gore researched this subject for about 20 years, consulting countless scientists and going to places to see changes for himself. My money goes on Al Gore.

Answer 3

I don't believe anything Al Gore ever said came from any thought process of his own. He was nothing until the Clintons drafted him as their "yes man". Now that he's nothing again, he needs the global warming thing to get back in the spotlight.

Answer 4

Al Gore b/c On a per-person basis, Wyoming spews more carbon dioxide than any other state or any other country: 276,000 pounds of it per capita a year, thanks to burning coal, which provides nearly all of the state’s electrical power.

Yet, just next door to the west, Idaho emits the least carbon dioxide per person, less than 23,000 pounds a year. Idaho forbids coal power plants. It relies mostly on non-polluting hydroelectric power from its rivers.

Texas, where coal barely edges out cleaner natural gas as the top power source, belches almost 1 1/2 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide yearly. That’s more than every nation in the world except six: the United States, China, Russia, Japan, India and Germany.

As excessive as the report appears, at least we can use these statistics as a baseline moving forward implementing cleaner burning alternatives and follow examples set by Vermont, Idaho, California, Rhode Island banning the use of coal.

Answer 5

Historically increased average global temperature has caused atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to increase with approximately an 800 year delay. Now humans are causing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to increase, and since CO2 is a greenhouse gas, this is causing global warming. I'll let the graphs do the rest of the talking. Observe from 1960-Present.

Answer 6

I believe Gore is a bore, who is also a hypocrite. He uses more energy complaining about the energy you use than 10 homes put together. Clean up your own act Al, before you complain about mine.

Answer 7

Its hard to say your question doen't make a lot of sense, but I think you want to know what is causing global warming. I don't know everything about climate change but its hard not to think that we, as people, are having some impact on our climate. What the extent of that impact is, would be hard to say, I'll leave that to the scientists to decide.

Answer 8

al ogre is speaking the truth.
co2 is what CAPTURES inferred [heat] in our atmoshpere.
the reason why scientists say things like that,
is beacuase the government is paying the scientists to say things like that.
WHY U ASK?
well,
simple:
the government doesnt want to make more strict laws that will effect their income.
all they want is money
and all they are, are selfish, greedy, monsters.

Answer 9

Carbon is raising the temperature, definitely. Just a basic biology class will tell you that!

Answer 10

I think that Al Gore is an idiot who just needs a gimmick to make a name for himself. I think it's stupid that we're just NOW worrying about this. I think that no one realizes that to stop climate change the whole world will have to change the way they produce things, especially factory farming, the number 1 producer of pollution (how many cheeseburgers do you think that hypocrite Al Gore eats though?). I think the American people need to get their heads out of the rear ends of liberal and conservative "leaders" and learn to think for themselves.
