I am doing a debate in Science class and I was wondering Why isn't global warming happening? I am against it

Question

I was wondering what u could tell me is not ture about global warming.

Answer 1

Global warming is very subtle thing. The scientists are talking about the changes in 100 years, not in 10 years. Al Gore says this all the time. He says how it will slowly creep up on us unnoticed. Changes will happen so slowly that they take longer than a human lifetime. But Gore compares this slow advance to a frog in a pot of water on a stove. The frog does not notice the water getting hotter and just sits there as the water slowly gets warmer until it dies in boiling water. The problem with that story is the IMPLICATION that global warming will eventually boil us all to death, and that is just not true. The Earth has experienced natural global warming more than once in the past that was more extreme than we could ever cause even by burning all the coal and oil in the world. And those warm periods were good for life on Earth, not bad. It is the ice ages that are bad for life. So Gore is not technically lying to you but he is doing what all successful politicians do, which is to tell a slanted story that makes you make up your own lies in your imagination in such a way that you THINK he actually told them to you. But he can point to the movie and show you the exact words and prove he never said that if anybody challenges him.

Answer 2

Global warming will not be OK. Our modern society, with massive coastal development and intensive agriculture, is very sensitive to climate change. Sure it was warmer in the past. But coastlines and plant life were very different.

We're not nomads who can easily move somewhere else. Global warming will cost huge amounts of money and create local food shortages which will kill some (not all) people.

Here's a site where all the usual arguments against global warming are disproven.

Answer 3

It is very true we have contributed to global warming, but...in all honesty, we have caused I think about .002% of the pollution that has caused global warming. If you research for a movie about global warming, it has been happening for over 10 years now, so I think things are a lot more proven or disproven from then to now, and the fact that we are depleting oil from the earths core means we are contributing to the heating of the earth, so that does help contribute to global warming.. I think by people saying that we caused global warming, is false, because the earth does go through heating and cooling all on it's own, so no, we did contribute a little bit to global warming, but we did not cause it.

Answer 4

Global warming is caused by the sun, and the earth goes in cycles, which are natural. Also, other planets in our solar system are warming as well. Man made global warming is a hoax. Hope this helps, plus the links below

Answer 5

I am against it too. Hey girl i really don`t think it is getting any warmer. I am 65 years old, when i was a kid it got around 110 to 120 degrees in the afternoon It don`t get that hot now. I don`t know what they are talking about. Hey have a good one.

Answer 6

I don't think it matters if anyone is pro or con...It's happening all around the world, slowly but surely ... and the time to do something about it has passed. Way back when they talked about auto emissions, aerosols, all the bad things that hurt the environment is when humans should have been concerned. Now I guess it's just a matter of time. Maybe not in our lifetime, but the next generation....

Answer 7

The deniers expect that it will be put up for a popular vote real soon, as all scientific ideas ought to be.

So just wait for the vote, vote against the scientific ideas you don't like, and they will all vanish faster than a platter of lead paint chips!
