Will you embrace science or die from the effects of global warming?

Question

Time to get REAL.

Answer 1

Science, fact and logic for me.

Rush and Hannity for the rest...

Answer 2

I _have_ embraced science my dear fellow. Science has taught me to evaluate ALL the data before jumping to a conclusion.

1. Science is not a consensus activity
2. _All_ scientists do NOT agree
3. Even the socialistic EU "scientists" are
backpedalling on their GW stance
4. Global warming, like global cooling is part of the
natural climatic cycle.
5. There have been many such cycles in Earth's
history.
6. Earth is presently in the last stages of an ice
age and was considerably warmer for most of its
history.
7. Floating ice occupies the same volume as would the
liquid water that comprises it.
8. Even if the ocean levels rise the alarmist 28
feet, just move away from the beach.
9. Warmer climate means more crop growing area.
10. Water is not going anywhere. Except for what we
have shot into space with rockets, there is the same
amount as there always was.

Answer 3

Even if what Chicken Little Al Gore says is the truth (and the global warming scientists are even backing away from the dire predictions), the fact is that there is little if anything we can do right now to stop it, short of having the world go back to living in caves. This is scientific fact.

And, for some reason, I don't see the proponents of the Chicken Little global warming scenarios doing anything to stop their own contributions to global warming.

Why aren't you giving up non-renewable electricity? Why aren't you giving up all products made with petroleum byproducts, or all products transported using petroleum or other fossil fuels?

Until you do those things, you are simply a hypocrite seeking to impose control over others.

Answer 4

Here's the deal skippy,
1. Global warming is happening.
2. Global warming is at least partly caused by CO2
3. While many people will die from the effects of global warming, it won't be people who can read this.

The questions which makes things rather bleak as to arresting global warming:
1. How MUCH global warming is caused by increased CO2?
2. Even if the USA did a great job of minimizing greenhouse gas production, will an industrializing China and India negate any potential good by the USA?

Those 2 questions need to be addressed before I do things to lessen greenhouse gas production that costs money.

Answer 5

I'll embrace science when they actually prove that global warming exists. Do you understand the fact that there are just as many scientists that dispute global warming as there are supporting it?

If I embrace science and some scientists say that it does exist and other scientists say it does not exist, then what exactly am I embracing?

Answer 6

OK, let us look at the science. is global warming a reality? that depends on the evidence you look at. Al Gore would like you to believe it is because a part of the antarctic ice sheet is receding, but if we look further inland, we find the ice cap is actually thickening. in Greenland the glacier seems to be receding also, but again looking further inland it is thickening. if we look at temperatures over recorded history, they do seem to be going up, however we are only 10,000 years after the last major ice age, and before that ice age hit, global temperatures were higher than they are now. how do we know this? evidence from ocean cores show periods of time when the oceans were warmer and when they were cooler.

there are many things that affect the climate temperature, that no one thing can be pointed at to say this is what is driving this problem. Al Gore would like you to believe that it is all mans fault because we burn fossil fuels and pour tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. however when we look at what man puts in the air compared to natural sources, it is rather like dumping the contents of an Olympic sized swimming pool into the ocean, and then claiming man caused the ocean level to rise.

this planet in its 4.5 billion year life span has gone from planet fireball(twice in fact), to planet snowball, to where we are today. how do we know all this? science.

now let us look at what some of the causes of global warming are, greenhouse gases, core temp of the earth changing, ocean currents changing, change in the sun's activity, cosmic radiation. man cant change the amount of solar or cosmic radiation, and changing the oceans currents is also rather difficult despite what Mr Gore wants you to believe, and we cannot control how the earths core acts, so that leaves greenhouse gases. man does emit such gases, but one volcano puts more of said gases into the atmosphere in one eruption, than man does collectively in one year. and there is rather a lot of volcanic activity on this planet.

in 95 an article was written regarding global warming and that something needed to be done then or we would face dire consequences. 30 years ago however we were told by many of the same people screaming about global warming now, that global cooling was going to lead to a new ice age. oh and that article written in 95, that was 1895.

the bottom line, the earths temperature goes up and down like a yo yo, and man has little effect on what nature does. to presume that we as a species have a major effect on this planet is the height of arrogance, and nature will slap us down for that arrogance.

Answer 7

I've accepted the reality that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming.

The World Health Organization estimates that 150,000 people are already dying worldwide annually due to global warming effects, and this will only increase.

I love how people cite the great global warming swindle as evidence against global warming. That was one of the worst films ever made, full of bad science, misinformation, and propaganda. Anyone who cites that film automatically destroys their credibility.

Answer 8

Look, global warming is a natural occurrence. It takes about 3500 years for the earth to turn completely around on its axis (North pole becomes equator and equator becomes North pole). We're all going to die someday and the fact that the earth will still be here is/should be testimony to our vulnerabilities. We need to learn to adapt. That being said, I'm not opposed to taking care of the earth. We should. But I also realize that everything we have accomplished on earth and every product we have made on earth comes from the earth. Therefore, the ashes to ashes theory comes into play. We could not make anything without the materials that are available on earth. Therefore we just need to be more conscious of the life cycles and the decomposition rates of things we make and use and we need to work with the changing environment instead of trying to do further damage by knee jerk reactions. Learn the effects of all the chemicals on the human body --then think twice before dousing your lawn with them. Where does the run off go? It's just like diet and exercise. The earth has to digest everything and everything we do is part of a cycle. We need to understand the cycles and not contribute to the problem.

Answer 9

The global warming fanatics say it's time to stop questioning global warming. Since when is it science to stop asking question? Questions are normally heathy for science, except in this case. Maybe because global warming isn't science, it's politics.

Answer 10

I seldom just embrace science, and I somehow doubt that I will die from the effects of global warming. Do you enjoy life? Global warming is the least of your problems, you'll worry yourself to death with this whole doomsday thing you have going on. Thanks

Answer 11

If you had even the slightest clue about global warming, you'd realize that climate change is a slow gradual process, not anything like the doomsday scenario that you may have been entertained by in "The Day After Tomorrow." Go hit the books before you make such outlandish statements.
