There are many respected sccientists that believe that it is not man made. Why don't you note this? Or Gore de

Answer 1

Booboo, could you name the scientist paid by ExxonMobil to say that cars don't cause pollution? Never heard of such a thing.

Gwen, the attached link includes many respected scientists who are skeptical of man-made global warming. Could you provide the names of the 50 scientists who believe in man-made global warming and links to their studies? I, like you, don't tend to listen to scientists who can't see the facts of global warming that are staring them in the face. This is why I do not believe in man-made global warming, because the facts staring me in the face are:

The earth recently went through a cooling period (the little ice age) that lasted several centuries and was caused by a reduction in the sun's output.

The earth has been warming up again for a little more than a century, correlating to the increase in the sun's output.

NASA studies of solar irradiance starting in the 1970s show a significant increase in solar output finding that "Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century. If a trend, comparable to the one found in this study, persisted throughout the 20th century, it would have provided a significant component of the global warming..."

The american geophysical union published the only comprehensive study on solar activity including not only the increase in number of sunspots, but the size and intensity of the sunspots and the size and intensity of the magnetic plage areas around the sunspots. They found that the increase in solar ouput over the period of the study (1915-1999) "accounts statistically for 80% of the variance in global temperature over that period..."

With these facts staring anyone in the face, they would have to conclude that most of the warming over the last century was caused by natural increased in the output of the sun.

Answer 2

Because that would screw up their agenda!!!!Have you heard about the temperature monitoring stations?Or the miscalculations that were recently corrected in the temperature data by NASA.?Global warming is a liberal environmentalist scare tactic used to further a self-serving agenda.Man does not affect climate change.And if so,,marginally at best.

Answer 3

Because global warming is selective science. You get to choose who you believe and the research you like best.

If some scientist disagree with what you perceive as true, then you just say they collect money from the evil oil corporations.

Answer 4

You can find a "scientist" to say anything if you pay them enough, that doesn't lend any more credibility to what they say.
There was one not to long ago who was screaming loud and long that cars had nothing to do with pollution, then they found out he was on Exxon's pay role.

Answer 5

o yeah? who are they? what have they got to say in support of their theory? who are they respected by? i keep hearing about all these scientist who don't agree, but nobody ever gives a name, or points to a study i can look up. but even if you could give me 50 names and links to 50 studies, while i would probably read them and consider them, it wouldn't necessarily change my mind. you see, there are scientists who believe in god, scientists who maintain smoking does not cause cancer, and many scientists who believe that if something can't be proven beyond a doubt then it must be impossible. i happen to disagree with all of them. as i disagree with any scientist who ignore what is staring them in the face on this GW issue.

Answer 6

I always love it when people use wikapedia to show THEY ARE right.. wickapedia is not a good source.. ANYONE can post ANYTHIng on that.. stop using it.. idiot...

google Global cooling and then SHUT THE HECK UP

Answer 7

Please give us the names of some respected scientists who do not believe that carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere as the result of human activity does not contribute to Global Warming.


I am a scientist. I do not know of any competent scientist who doiubts that carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere as the result of human activity does not at least contribute to Global Warming to some degree.

If you know of a competent scientist who disagrees I would be delighted to know who he or she is.

We could have an interesting discussion.

Answer 8

There is a list of some of them :

Answer 9

For every respected scientist who thinks it's natural, there are more than one hundred respected scientists who disagree.

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

The reason is the data, the numbers. Science is about numbers. Theories that say this is natural simply don't work numerically (quantitatively).

The bottom line:

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know... Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA
