What is your opinion about global warming?

Question

What do you think about global warming?

p.s: let me know anything that you know about global warming too please!
thanx!

Answer 1

I am certain the Earth has warmed a little, as it has many times before. I'm also certain man is responsible for a small amount of the warming. The burning of carbon based fuels alone causes direct heating of the atmosphere and the small amount of CO2 that man is responsible for as well as the naturally occurring, causes heat to scatter in the atmosphere there by slowing, but not preventing its escape out into space.

CO2 is a naturally occurring gas. It has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Molecules that have three or more atoms absorb heat and re-emit it in all directions. Water vapor also has three atoms. Water vapor accounts for about 70% of the greenhouse effect depending on how much there is in the clear atmosphere and in the clouds.

There are a number of studies that show cloud cover varies inversely with solar activity. The sun has been more active in the past 7 decades than it has been in the last 8000 years and more of the sun's heat is warming the oceans due to decreased cloud cover. A warming Earth causes evaporation and greatly increases water vapor. The ocean currents move the heat all over the world and can take decades to cool, through the process of evaporation.

NASA's solar scientists are predicting a weakening of solar activity and I believe the climate will respond by cooling if that happens.

Answer 2

Statement from Meteorologist, John Coleman,
the founder of The Weather Channel.

"It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of lifelong expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a nonevent, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped.

The sky is not falling. All natural cycles, drifts in climate are as much, if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next 20 years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend."

Answer 3

I believe gloabal warming is a lie. The Earth goes through phases of temperatures rising and falling. The example of the falling is the iceage. We are slowly coming out of the ice age and that means that the temperatures are slowly increasing. Sure the CO2 emissions aren't helping but that isn't the sole cause. There are plently of ways to try and halt global warming but it is mostly natural. There is really little that you can do.

Answer 4

Larry's post was right on target.

The consensus of scientist now show that the Sun is the cause for all of the warmth on Earth. Man cannot cause warmth.
