can someone explain how global warming is my fault?

Question

the earth does this every few thousand years, it's in every science book. there was what was called "The LIttle Ice Age" in 1100-1400 and a heat wave before and after that. It's a proven fact that vegitation grew in Iceland and Greenland just 400-500 years ago from warming just like this one. I don't understand how this time, it's man's fault the earth is just following it's scientific pattern. Someone tell me how this is wrong please.

i'm not denying the earth is heating up, i'm denying it's my fault since it's happend several times before in history

Answer 1

dont think its cyclical:

ok look up milankovitch cycles....these are the "natural" cycles of climate....they are caused by changes in the shape of earths orbit around the sun, wobbles along the axis, and changes in the tilt earth has on its axis. these cycles are found to occur in 20k year, 40k, 100k, 200k and 400k. the cycles over lap each other but have been pin point accurate on changes in our climate long before humans were around. these are so accurate that we can tell what should be happening next on our planet. for example, thousands of years ago there was a mile of ice over the northern half of the U.S. (ice age). since then we have been melting away those glaciers (inter-glacial period). We are coming to an END of a warm cycle as we speak.....we SHOULD be heading into an ice age, but instead we are warming. it doesnt matter if its a lot of warming or a little because we shouldnt be warming AT ALL. we should be cooling so obviously we are not following these natural cycles anymore and obviously this is new territory. we do not know what our ecosystems can hold or tolerate.....for those that admit there is warming, but say it is cyclical....look up Milankovitch cycles and see that what is happening around us is not cyclical and might be a problem

it doesnt matter what happened in the past because now is different because its not natural anymore, its faster, and its human caused

Wow...it extremely is the main nonsense and tripe i've got ever seen on one website! each thought and each 'actuality' you notice right here might properly be placed into attitude by potential of only remembering this...The Earth was in an ice age, then it warmed. This replaced into way earlier guy arrived. T-Rex didn'tcontinual an SUV. The few years we can look back quantity to a pisshole interior the snow while in comparison with the age of the Earth, so no genuine context is available. the comparable people who rant approximately international warming have been screaming approximately 'international cooling' only 30 years in the past. Oh, and by potential of ways...If the polar ice caps soften, the oceans won't upward thrust. Water in the two liquid or stable style displaces the comparable quantity of area. attempt filling a bowl with ice water appropriate to the brim...The ice will soften, however the bowl won't overflow. it extremely is third grade tabletop technology that the environmental wackos think of we are too stupid to decide.

Since the late 1980s, this well-coordinated, well-funded campaign by contrarian scientists, free-market think tanks and industry has created a paralyzing fog of doubt around climate change. Through advertisements, op-eds, lobbying and media attention, greenhouse doubters (they hate being called deniers) argued first that the world is not warming; measurements indicating otherwise are flawed, they said. Then they claimed that any warming is natural, not caused by human activities. Now they contend that the looming warming will be minuscule and harmless. "They patterned what they did after the tobacco industry," says former senator Tim Wirth, who spearheaded environmental issues as an under secretary of State in the Clinton administration. "Both figured, sow enough doubt, call the science uncertain and in dispute. That's had a huge impact on both the public and Congress."

Just last year, polls found that 64 percent of Americans thought there was "a lot" of scientific disagreement on climate change; only one third thought planetary warming was "mainly caused by things people do." In contrast, majorities in Europe and Japan recognize a broad consensus among climate experts that greenhouse gases—mostly from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas to power the world's economies—are altering climate. A new NEWSWEEK Poll finds that the influence of the denial machine remains strong. Although the figure is less than in earlier polls, 39 percent of those asked say there is "a lot of disagreement among climate scientists" on the basic question of whether the planet is warming; 42 percent say there is a lot of disagreement that human activities are a major cause of global warming. Only 46 percent say the greenhouse effect is being felt today.

As a result of the undermining of the science, all the recent talk about addressing climate change has produced little in the way of actual action. Yes, last September Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a landmark law committing California to reduce statewide emissions of carbon dioxide to 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent more by 2050. And this year both Minnesota and New Jersey passed laws requiring their states to reduce greenhouse emissions 80 percent below recent levels by 2050. In January, nine leading corporations—including Alcoa, Caterpillar, Duke Energy, Du Pont and General Electric—called on Congress to "enact strong national legislation" to reduce greenhouse gases.

Answer 4

Don't take it personal . Its all of our problem and it is not a religion .A religion is something you cant see but allot of us older people have been around long enough to see the change so there for it is a fact . Its just happening to fast and we don't know the outcome .If we can do something we can if not then we cant or may not need to but its all good to have an option always open just in case . Besides a little clean air and water isn't going to hurt you so chill out

Answer 5

Yes it is true that there is a natural pattern of warming and cooling, but the one that is going on now is much more extreme. Many blame man because of the polutants that we have released into the air in the form of fossil fuels that are given off mostly when fuel is burnt in cars and planes...

Answer 6

It is your fault because Al and Oprah said so. Now sit down and shut up!
