How can we convince the world that global warming is not primarily a man made phenomenon ?

Question

Consider the fact that the Earth has witnessed eleven glacial events, followed by warmer periods in the last 2-3 million years, and that we may now be in an interglacial (ie warm spot) period before the current ice age we are traversing, cranks in big time again. To the best of my recollection there hasn't been as much as one Hummer H2 on the Earth contributing to the temperature fluctuations that have occurred in the past.

Answer 1

You cannot convince people who are convinced of stuff that is different from your beliefs, but different techniques work for different people.

Start by pointing out that NASA discovered that the ice caps of Mars have been steadily melting over the last 10 years. Then ask how this global warming of Mars is man's fault. What did we do to cause it?

Answer 2

You can try by providing correct information. Not the absolute garbage that follows your question. If the best argument you can come up with against Global Warming is the lack of Hummers throughout history ... I think you might just be a bit enthralled with the idea of giving Hummers to as many people as possible (and I don't mean the truck!).

If we are in an interglacial period, explain why the average temperature went down consistently from the year 1000AD to 1900AD.

Answer 3

Its humorous to me while AGWers say the talk is settled. there isn't one ingredient of the talk it extremely is settled. what continues to be in debate: Is CO2 a primarypersistent interior the international temp? Is guy generating adequate CO2 to even have an impression on the quantity of CO2 interior the ambience? If the two questions above are definite, then how plenty will the temp advance? How lots of a temp advance might reason mankind issues and how long might it take? might the organic strategies already in place, fix any volume of injury we are in a position to do? (as an occasion that's often used that vegetation strengthen speedier with extra CO2) it may additionally be a risk that liberating the CO2 back into the ambience might advance the ecosystem, on condition that the planet replaced into plenty extra lush interior the previous than that's now and vegetation thrive while CO2 tiers are extra beneficial. will advance interior the quantity of water held by using vegetation and the ambience might stability any advance in sea point by using melting ice. in simple terms people who've a tendency to have self assurance propaganda, have self assurance any of those questions are "settled". what's usually used, that no one argues against, is that fossil fuels are a constrained source. So artwork in direction of nuclear potential by using lifting the regulations that have made it so high priced interior the U. S.. try this, and we are in a position to do away with a difficulty that all of us understand exists (constrained fossil fuels) whilst additionally removing a difficulty that would or would possibly not exist (guy-made international warming).

We won't have to convince them. Insurance companies are now getting on board with the effect, and raising rates. As soon as the expected effects worry the people who make money, even teh detractors will be paying for it,convinced or not.
By the way, water is not always colder than air, depends on weather, seeason, and day vs night. I don't know Lake Superior specifically, but water heats up more on pavement, so increased development means more warm run off. Add the that the treated sewer water, the industrial discharge, heated water from nuclear and other power plants that are poured into some waterbodies. Depending on where you live, that might happend to your water.
I believe we're having an effect. Chemist know these chemicals hold heat, and we know that humans pour tons into the air and have been since mid 1800s. It has to have some effect.

Answer 5

90% of scientists believe that global warming is man made and we're in big trouble if we don't start doing something now. I know that's not 100% certain, but if someone told me there was a 90% chance that I'd die if I crossed the road, I wouldn't be venturing off the pavement.

Making changes to cut your carbon footprint does not mean you have to give up meat, your car and all flights. Just be sensible and don't consume our natural resources at this currently ridiculous rate!

Answer 6

The preponderance of empirical evidence in support of Global Warming is overwhelming. We are facing a major climate change, the likes of which has not been seen in recorded human history. If heat levels get too high, we are facing the extinction of human life. It makes no difference if the main cause is natural or not. The vast majority of scientists believe that pollution is contributing to global warming to a greater or lesser degree. If the chance is only 1 in 1,000,000 that investing in cleaner industrial processes and tighter pollution controls will save us from Extinction, isn't that worth the investment? I've seen several 1 in a 1,000,000 chances happen in my lifetime. How about you?

Answer 7

Well for a start you should prove that the current temperature rise isn't significantly faster than any previous increase seen in the geological record.

Opps, you can't do that? What? The temperature is going up faster than ever before?

Sorry, guess you just can't go against the majority of scientists on the planet who actually understand such matters..

Answer 8

You can't. The majority of the people who believe in global warming are liberals and they are very stubborn on changing their beliefs. I share your frustration in people blaming me for global warming. The plain and simple fact is that it's a false phenomenon that was been brainwashed into people's heads by celebrities who, in the first place, don't know what they're doing in life anyway.

Answer 9

You obviously have not walked in the tracks of man made destruction's to Nature

,or seen the changes made to the original Environment by civilization.
or felt the different climates in these places because of these changes.

Such as deforestation,because of agriculture and expanding Urbanization's
desertification because of bad agriculture and over grazing
destruction's because of war,

The green leaves being replaced by tar and concrete
I have
And Al Gore had nothing to do with my Opinions
the difference of walking in cool forests or in the Sahara is immense.
And these kind of drastic changes have happened and are increasing all over the world

Collectively this has an enormous impact on Global weather
with less forests producing rain .and more desserts causing heat waves that move across the lands.

Pollution and the
facts fed to the public is another story that comes on top

Stop believing propaganda rubbish and go visit China ,Mexico,Africa or India before you start trying to lecture people on facts that are irrelevant today

desertification is growing all around and all of that is a result of Mans behavior.

Answer 10

Well, if you can explain to me, why superior lake water has raised in temperature of 4.5C over 20 years, when the area temperature average has only increase 2.7C over the same period... If it was the atmosphere warming why, then the air temperature has increase less than the water... Well we all know that water is always cooler than surrounding air, but the increase cannot be explained only by a so marginal increase in the atmospheric temperature.
So go back to your research, and help us solve this problems instead of thinking its all already solve, which is far from the truth!!
