Global Warming?

Question

What FACTS can you give me to show that global warming does infact exist? When I say facts, I dont mean copy and paste some big thing or claim that scientist have proven it. I want actual FACTUAL DATA that proves global warming is man made, not the Earth's weather cycle that has been going on for millions of years.

I didnt ask this question to start a debate like every other question on here, I just want to see if anyone can actually source me data instead of just claiming the ice caps are melting and scientist have proven that it exists, because these same scientist were the ones that were POSITIVE another Ice Age was upon us in the 70s.

Answer 1

Yes the earth is warmer but you can look to the sun for that, in the past few years our sun has been over active but now it is getting back to it's normal state. This also accounts for the warming on Mars also. Just one of the facts that Gore and others tend to leave out when they preach their global warming to the people.

Yes we are killing the planet with our .300 of 1% ccontribution to the atmosphere of global warming gas. Try reading the full study from the scientist that did the study not the short report that was made up from just parts of the study, maybe then you will see the lies Gore and his followers have been feeding you.

Answer 2

Firstly, they are not the same scientists, as in the 70s. Back then the science of paleoclimatology was not yet evolved to include so many other scientific research techniques. Back then some thought the swing in climate WAS toward an 'ice age', but since have learned better. That's just what science does. Adjusts theory through facts, data, and experiment via observations. What you're talking about was known by a Chinese scientist Shen Kuo (1031-1095 AD). Alot of science has happened since.

One reason 99% of the knowledgeable and respected scientists believe the cause of 'Global Warming' is man-made. is that it's been nearly 100 million years since SO much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The fact that this all started at the same time as the 'Industrial Revolution' is mere coincidence to some, but to none that know the sciences. It may be that we are entering a warming phase at this time, as well, so all the more reason to shut down the continuous out-pouring of CO2.

Too many won't believe all of this until it's too late, and then what? Remember, 'Global Warming' does not mean where you are WILL be warmer, necessarily. It does mean we will have greater swings in weather patterns. Wanna move to Europe and prove them wrong?

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but I think this newsclip concerning a UK court ruling provides solid evidence of the truth behind Al Gore's brand of Global Warming in particular -

* The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.

* The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.

* The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global warming.

* The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that this was not the case.

* The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.

* The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant's evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.

* The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.

* The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.

* The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.

* The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.

* The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.

"In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that

1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument.

2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination.

3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children."

Why do libs continually refuse to acknowledge the real TRUTH?

Answer 4

If you wish to receive grant money for climate research, do you think that you'll get a cheque if you say," I need the grant, as I think that I can prove that the figures that the current paradigm is based upon are wrong" ? The great environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. There is still no proven causative link between the amount of Co2 in the atmosphere, and an increase in global temperatures. The WWWF photographs of the polar bears swimming were taken in the Arctic summer; when the ice cap partially melts, as they couldn't get up to photograph in the winter. The ice was too thick! The East-Anglian uni research figures. "Oh! The figures don't match our expectations. Oh well. Keep quiet. Because we know that we are right." When the belief, and the faith is more important than squarely facing the legitimate doubts of a lot of non grant-supported scientists, science has been superceded by religious zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully said." I pray thee, in the bowels of Christ, consider that thou mayest be wrong."

Answer 5

It exists the only debate is whether or not it is man made or a normal cycle.....
In your town on a day that's really really hot stand outside for awhile.....Then go into a neighborhood near by that has just dirt roads but the houses are about the same distance apart.... Feel the temp difference..... The temp will be lower standing on a yard on the dirt road then on the paved... So is it green house gases or all the paved roads and buildings acting like warming stones for a pet lizard...........Houses are also being built really close together creating a microwave effect, and huge estates dry up their wetlands and create ponds instead... Well the wetlands serve a purpose...So yes we do impact our environment but the warming that is going on now seems more a part of a cycle that's been around since the iceage.. Does this mean stop conservation ...no......and cities need to rethink their building codes....

Answer 6

without quoting or copying or pasting..... I'm not a scientist by the way.. I can only go by what they say... but here is some common sense for you... yes some of global warming is natural and some is man-made... if you want to talk about C02, it is a gas emitted off naturally(which also makes it possible for the earth to sustain life) and also by man.. it is a known fact that more is put off naturally- however when I was in school I learned about photosynthesis.. C02 goes in, O2 comes out- the earth always took care of itself.. so the C02 that was put off naturally was absorbed by trees and plants.. to date.. how many trees do you imagine we have cut down.. how few more plants there are that would absorb this excess C02- so do I think alot of it is man made... yes.. we have made contributions to it, even if we aren't putting off the majority of the C02

Answer 7

Read the IPCC report on global warming. There isn't enough space or time to put all the data in this forum.

From there, check out NASA's reports on global warming, the NOAA reports on global warming, ask anyone who studies climate, biology, geology, meteorology, or other earth science what they're data and research shows.

Bottom line, from the available data, humans are the primary cause of global warming. We're also the cause for a lot of other ecological damage.

That doesn't make us bad, just ignorant of our actions.

Do you really think people think about where their manufactured goods come from, or what impact the manufacture has on the environment?

If we don't change our behavior, we'll be extinct.

Enjoy.

Answer 8

"these same scientists were the ones that were positive another ice age was upon us in the 70s"

very very few scientists in the 70s believed that. there was definitely no consensus.

as for your links, just go to the environment --> global warming section on Y!A. i'm sure they can find you tons of links. many of the regular users have degrees in climatology

Answer 9

Even if you rather not believe the many scientists about Global warming, it would seem you could agree that cleaner air, and water and greater use of alternative energies is good for all of us.

Answer 10

Is man responsible for the Martian ice caps also receding, or it because the SUN is burning hotter?
