I am doing a research paper for Global Warming?

Question

Anybody know of any scientists or articles pertaining to Global warming. I am not making you do all the work I am also looking but any pointers to a certain scientists who specialises in GW or a good artical, I would apreciate it greatly. Thank you!

S
if you want all you have to do is click on my picture and go to my 360 profile, I also did a lot of research on this subject. I would click on the link for wesjones at the bottom of my paper that is Elizabeth's Kolbert's artical. she is the best scientist that I know of for this subject. you will know everything about global warming from this artical.

go to my 360 and click on my blog list it will say "Global warming on the rise" and at the bottom of this blog are the links. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I would suggest the following articles, so you have some balance. There's no question the globe has warmed since the last Ice Age, or that it continues to warm in the post-industrial era (at least, until 1998). The question is about whether an essential and rather trivial trace gas (CO2) can cause the "catastrophic tipping point" in the climate - a question that the Alarmists keep moving the "rapture" for because the data doesn't reflect their theories all that well.....

Answer 3

Global warming is simply elevated temperature and the rest is guess work because all professionals use calculators for temperature considerations. That is really a simplification but true, that is why there is all the differences of opinion.

Go to www.thermoguy.com/blog and read the News Release that just came out on UV impact on buildings. The same UV that burns us, burns buildings except they aren't designed for the temperatures generated.

The report shows a crazy cycle we have been following during heat waves. UV generates extreme heat and we react to the symptoms with air conditioning which is refrigeration.

Ozone depleting refrigerants, wasted electrical, more GHG emissions, mercury and other toxins to treat a symptom.

Answer 4

If I were you I would research both sides of the issue and then present an objective paper on that.

you can watch an inconvenient truth, read articles on the net about global warming being man made, then watch shows like al gores science fiction, global warming swindle (on you tube)and other research papers. that way you can be like a unbiased journalist. after all we sure could use a zillion of them around. they are an almost extinct breed.

RRRRR

Answer 5

Watch Al Gore's movie then show all the inconsistencies in that movie from known scientific facts. You could show each lie he tells and compare it to the truth.

Show how he takes the graphs and cuts out parts from known statistics and how he misaligns them to try to prove his point.

Also show how the myth of man-made global warming is a multi-billion dollar industry, explaining why it continues when most scientists admit it's a hoax.

Answer 6

A few months ago I wrote a report about global warming. There's a dejargonised, summarised and simplified version of it online here - http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/intro.html

You may find some things in there are useful and as it's available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License you can copy from it as well.

Don't know what level you're researching at, the site may be too basic. If you want technical stuff please add more details or email me and I'll see if I can help.

Answer 7

The absolute best writer on the science of climate change I have ever found is Spencer Weart. He's a physicist who specializes in atmospheric physics, and noted a science historian. He's written a book called "The Discovery Of Global Warming" which you can find on Amazon.com. He also has a site that covers all of the material in his book plus, which you can check out here:

http://www.aip.org/history/climate/index.html

I have yet to find another scientist able to explain complex subjects in climate science with such lucidity. Check it out, you'll be glad you did.

Answer 8

permit's look into it this manner: If human existence have been to vanish from Earth, leaving purely animals and flowers, how long might it take for the ambience to return to a pristine state? asked by using rod Strassburg, Winston-Salem, NC Marilyn vos Savant spoke back: "homes, roads, dams, and bridges might exchange into ruins in purely some centuries, yet they had take hundreds of years to vanish completely. meanwhile, nuclear waste in long-term storage might progressively exchange into harmless. without human interest, our hundreds of lively reactors might seize hearth or soften down and launch radiation, yet even that doesn't end nature's speedy return. (Many flowers and animals look flourishing interior the tainted section around Chernobyl, the scene of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine purely 25 years in the past.) extra carbon dioxide could be cleansed by using the oceans over has a tendency of hundreds of years. by using then, extra methane could be long long previous. The poisonous effect of pollutants alongside with DDT does not final even a century. So the planet might forget all approximately us in possibly 50,000 years--a methods much less time than humankind has existed. and if an unaltered environment isn't a considered necessary part of what you call a pristine state, our effect could be long previous in under 0.5 that factor--and doubtless much less." purely thinking approximately this 'backward' question...as a rule the human beings have been and are inflicting worldwide warming. this text replaced into printed interior the Boston Globe, Sunday newpaper, might a million, 2011 (interior the parade mag).

Answer 9

As man lets C02 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere they do not just dissapear. They float up to the top of the atmosphere where they reamain. Then they act much like a blanket, they allow heat to come in, but not to go out. As the burning of fossil fules progresses the atmosphere gets warmer and warmer until the Ice Caps start to melt.

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced the vast majority of the scientific community, short and very long. The long version has hundreds of references with scientists names.

There's vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

Here are some scientists views:

"Global warming is already starting, and there's going to be more of it. I think there is still time to deal with global warming, but we need to act soon. Humans now control global climate, for better or worse."

James Hansen, Ph.D. climate scientist, NASA

"Global warming is the most challenging problem our society has ever had to face up to. Ice is the canary in the coal mine of global warming."

Britain's chief scientist David King

"By mid-century, millions more poor children around the world are likely to face displacement, malnourishment, disease and even starvation unless all countries take action now to slow global warming."

Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University

"We are not saying that the Earth's temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans."

-- S. Mukherjee & D. Brouse (2004)

"The drafting of reports by the world’s pre-eminent group of climate scientists is an odd process. For many months scientists contributing to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tussle over the evidence. Nothing gets published unless it achieves consensus. This means that the panel’s reports are extremely conservative – even timid. It also means that they are as trustworthy as a scientific document can be."

George Monbiot

"The fact that the community overwhelmingly supports the consensus is evidenced by picking up any copy of Journal of Climate or similar, any scientific program at the meetings, or simply going to talk to scientists. I challenge you, if you think there is some un-reported division, show me the hundreds of abstracts that support your view - you won't be able to. You can argue whether the consensus is correct, or what it really implies, but you can't credibly argue it doesn't exist."

Dr. James Baker - NOAA

"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
