Global warming caused by CO2, not true, is it this?

Question

I just thought about when a log is just sitting there, it's not creating heat, but when it's set aflame, it creates heat. Could global warming just be e=mc2? matter into thermal energy? Coal isn't heating up the planet just sitting there, now is it? btw we create about 2% CO2 as volcanoes do, so it's significant, but not super-significant. Think about us heating up the planet with over and over again since industrialization, for years and years. matter into heat energy.

youre an idiot, e=mc2, im not saying ALL of the mass has turned into energy, im saying some has.

it wasnt anti global warming, im simply saying some of that mass turns into energy.

to the last person, i said it DOENST convert all its mass to energy.

Answer 1

CO2 follows temperature, it does not cause temperature to rise. CO2 lags temp by some 800 years.

The Sun is the source for all heat on Earth.

Answer 2

No, you've got all your facts wrong.

First off, E=mc^2 is not a thermal energy equation. The equation for heat is mc*(delta T), where c is specific heat, not the speed of light.

Secondly, the current global warming is primarily caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. I don't know why you think this is untrue.

Thirdly, you've got volcanoes exactly backwards. Volcanoes emit less than 1% the amount of CO2 humans emit annually.

Finally, climate scientists study this stuff every day. They're not just coming up with random guesses as to why the planet may be warming. They've studied all the possible explanations, and it's quite clear by now that it's mostly due to human greenhouse gas emissions. 80-90% over the past 30 years, in fact.

Answer 3

No. Man is simply not making enough thermal energy (we know about how much that is) to cause the observed temperature rise.

And volcanoes emit a tiny fraction of what we do. Proof here, from scientific data:

It is mostly man made CO2. Even most "skeptical" scientists admit that these days. The data is overwhelming.

Answer 4

Congratulations! You have come up with the most ridiculous ad hoc anti global-warming "theory" yet.

E=MC^2 is the equation for mass energy equivalence (nuclear energy) and ha s nothing to do with chemical reactions.

The fact that the amount of CO2 humans produce (whichis far higher than you claim) is not the point--the point is that it trhows the earth's balance off, triggering warming.

Thanks for the laugh! LMAO!

Answer 5

Humanity does create a lot of heat but the problem you have, is if you combined all of the cities of the world together as one mega city it would only be 3.28 million square kilometers and the surface of the Earth is 510 Million Square Kilometers. That only equates to .6 % of the surface of the world, so the heat we directly generate would be insignificant.

Answer 6

You can watch the global warming swindle to see the point, even though it sick contradicts Al Gore's Inconvenient Truths. It was release on 2007 and one of the points they stated was that CO2 actually follows Global Warming, they had an outline that there was a delay in between the 2 so CO2 is following Global Warming.

Answer 7

The real problem is that humans have put chemicals into space that are not natural and do not break down fast. We need to retrieve these chemicals like proposed on CoolingEarth.org. At the same time we can rebuild the ozone layer.
