What are some of the reasons you think global warming does NOT exist?

Answer 1

There's several things you could point to:

1) Latest NASA Studies show Ice mass is Increasing globally. It is melting in certain areas at the extremities of some of the polar caps, but is growing in other areas at a faster rate than it is melting. This Core Ice is harder to see and not as dramatic and cool as Ice Shelf falling off into water.

2) Pro-Global warming people point to 100 year temperature charts to show we're rising faster than ever. However in the past 1000 years, Earth temperature rose faster than than this in the late 1300s. It is unlikely that that was due to Vikings driving SUVs.

3) In the 1970s there was a scare about Global Cooling, The temperatures and climate mimicked conditions prior to the last Mini-Ice Age. The Predictions made than were that the Earth would Warm up for several years preceeding a sharp temperature drop after the Ocean's waterflows change as they have in the past. The current phenomenon is actually in line with the concept of Global Cooling, not Global Warming.

4) The Earth's atmosphere contains 1% of its externally produced Heat, with 95%+ of it stored in Oceans. But they attempt to blame a fractional change in the atmosphere's composition for heating. The change is not sufficient to do that.

5) The Ozone Layer is Depleting!!...oh wait, we figured out it's related to the Sun's 17-year Spot Cycle and it repaired itself....Acid Rain will Kill us all!!...Oh, wait, it seems acidity in rain is burned off or cancelled out by natural bases in the atmosphere and land...Nuclear Meltdowns will end all life on Earth!!!...Oh, we have technology the makes a nuclear meltdown impossible due to seperated fuel cells....Basically every time anything is supposed to kill us all, It turns out to be stupid, and The same people jump on the next band wagon.

6) It's not Warmer! Global warming Data is based on Surface observations. Again, deeper evidence shows a general cooling if you look at the whole of Earth.

7) Huge Ball of Fire > Your Car. It turns out that it's possible that a huge ball of nuclear fire millions of times the size of Earth itself whose sole purpose is to produce heat may actually be somehow affecting the heat of our planet.
I'm not sure where people got the idea that the temperature should stay the same. The odds of a Huge Random ball of Flaming energy and our planet reaching a permanent temperature equilibrium is inconceivable.
Our orbit fluctuates all the time based on other planets, the moon, changes in the Sun's composition and a Million other things. Hey, Maybe That is why temperature changes?
Honestly it's like a turkey in the over saying 'It's hot in here, I think its because I'm wearing black'

Global warming is a fictional threat made up to get people to do things they should probably do anyway, but would not do if no one made up a fictional threat.

There's many more reasons, most of them just based in Common Sense.

Answer 2

Global warming does exist. Global cooling also exists. There are numerous historical cycles that have been detected by scientific study. The real questions are these: 1) is the current warming real or just a short-term anomaly, 2) if global warming is occurring, are humans to blame? This is such a complex question with so many variables, potential causes that we may never know the answers in our life time.

Answer 3

I cannot think of one reason that Global Warming does NOT exist. The fact is that at the end of the Wisconsonian Stage of the Pleistocene Epoch there was two miles of ice sitting on Wisconsin. In 11,000 years since all that ice is gone. Global Warming is real, and I am sure all the people in Milwaukee are not holding their breath, waiting for yhat ice to return.

Answer 4

"global warming" was a very bad thing to call it.
"global climate shift" would have been better.
because there are mechanisms that regulate the temperature of the earth, the earth can not just get warm with out having a reaction.
the earths weather is shifting.
I think that all the heat will trigger the next ice age.

Answer 5

The Earth has warmed up over the past 150 years by a degree or so. No scientist disputes this. So, what exactly are you asking?

Answer 6

This is like asking "What are the reasons you think the sky isn't blue?" Reasons are irrelevant, because the sky is blue.

The data says the Earth's mean temperature has been steadily rising in past decades. Your opinions on the subject do nothing to change this fact.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter if global warming "exists" - we need to stop pumping crap into the air before it becomes un-breathable.

Answer 8

Because I'd really like to ignore an unpleasant idea?
