Global Warming believers?

Question

How many people out there do not believe the theory of Global Warming is the reason for global climate change, such as myself?

Answer 1

In the nineteen fifties scientists told us high school students the earth was going into another ice age. Scientists in the nineteen seventies said the same thing and harped on it for years. Some of the scientists that are promoting this idea of global warming don’t seem to have a belief in God; more of an atheist attitude. It may be the atheist new religion without God. It could be that these people are looking for more control of people like in the book 1984 or movie V for vendetta. Some of these same scientists said that cranberries cause cancer. Go figure. It’s easier to believe in Edgar Casey’s (Cayce) tilting of the earth crap than global warming. By the way eggs will kill you. Oh sorry that was last weeks scientific claim.

Answer 2

worldwide warming is actual happening. yet of direction what i think of you're digging at right that's are we the reason. that would desire to be a no a minimum of in terms of being a important reason. The earth has cycled by many ice an prolonged time and warming classes of which none we've been liable for. and to no longer leave out the indisputable fact that our photograph voltaic gadget is likewise experiencing this comparable phenomenon. So i assume the pollution that we reason right here must be making it by the photograph voltaic gadget if this improve into the case made by ability of those wackos. the genuine reason has no longer been desperate yet yet theories have been made that are actually sound yet no longer proved. Now i'm no longer discounting the fact we'd be helping in an exceptionally very Small way. each little thing is a cycle and long while we are all ineffective and long previous those cycles will proceed right here in the international properly a minimum of till the solar improve right into a purple massive then of direction there'll no longer be a earth as that's going to be swallowed up.

Answer 3

Not many. A worldwide poll last year found that 90% of people considered climate change to be a serious threat, 8% didn't think it was serious (presumably the other 2% had no opinion either way). http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/btenvironmentra/187.php?nid=&id=&pnt=187

The same poll was conducted again this year and found 92% of people beleive climate chnage to be a serious threat, 6% don't, 2% no opinion.

There isn't a single scientific organisation in the world that refutes anthropogenic global warming - even those that are nothing to do with climate and have nothing to gain whichever side of the debate they agree with. You'll also find that every major organisation in the world accepts global warming and at a meeting in Davos, Switzerland the leaders of the world's 1000 largest corporations unilaterally declared that climate change was the most serious threat facing mankind, a view shared by every major government in the world, even the oil rich states.

Answer 4

Nope I was around on the frist go round we should be under 20 feet of ice right about now.ha ha I didn't beleive it then no reason to beleive the new tripe making the rounds now,but an awful lot of people are scared silly as usual stupidy has no bounds.The weather,and climate are not in man's control no matter how much he tells you it is,I think the arrorgance of it is what will bring us all down,not global warming,a theory only not proven.

Answer 5

Let's see what Here's what John Browne, Chief Executive of BP, the man whose company owns the most gasoline stations in the country, had to say in his speech at Stanford University on April 27, 2007:

"It would take a purposely defiant person" to dismiss the climate change threat and the growing consensus worldwide and "that precautionary action is necessary and need not destroy economic life," he said. He first voiced his concerns 10 years earlier. "The cold fact is that the risks are now greater than they were 10 years ago," Browne said. "Climate change is rapidly moving from being a long-term problem to a real medium-term challenge which will affect the lives not just of the next generation but of everyone in this room."

The Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997, and apparently the 174 parties who signed it believe that global warming theory is accurate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 in recognition of the problem of global warming. Experts from more than 130 countries are contributing to the current IPCC assessment, which represents six years of work. More than 450 lead authors have received input from more than 800 contributing authors, and an additional 2,500 experts reviewed the draft documents.

Their conclusion:

After assessing decades of climate data recorded everywhere from the depths of the oceans to tens of miles above Earth's surface, leading scientists from around the world have reported major advances in our understanding of climate change.

Human Responsibility for Climate Change

The report finds that it is “very likely” that emissions of heat-trapping gases from human activities have caused “most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century.” Evidence that human activities are the major cause of recent climate change is even stronger than in prior assessments.[3]

Warming Is Unequivocal

The report concludes that it is “unequivocal” that Earth’s climate is warming, “as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level.” The report also confirms that the current atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and methane, two important heat-trapping gases, “exceeds by far the natural range over the last 650,000 years.” Since the dawn of the industrial era, concentrations of both gases have increased at a rate that is “very likely to have been unprecedented in more than 10,000 years.”

Answer 6

I think that it is bliss that people today can still deny that global warming is occuring. I mean, you are right in the fact that how do I know that it is getting hotter? I dont. I think that in 40 years, we will know who is right and wrong.

The fact that there are 3 top contributors on global warming serves as evidence of this being debatable today.

Answer 7

Most liberals believe because they tend to follow others. Conservatives stick to objective science, looking for the math to prove what is real.

Most liberals can't make up their own minds. They rely on what people like Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader), Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr., James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy or Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA.

It make you wonder if these followers would believe in creationism if these above people claimed it was true.

Answer 8

one more. a very few years ago Al Gore was preaching on our frozen planet. no one listened then, so he gave up and went away. so now we hear him spouting of global warming. In my opinion the only thing I need to concern myself with is Al Gore's lying to further his personal agenda Al Gore. take note the scientists he quotes have no names.

Answer 9

Well here are a few people who agree with you on many things, but not on this:

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

"National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story this past week calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate"

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

"I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."

Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/412.php?lb=hmpg1&pnt=412&nid=&id=

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

"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

Answer 10

The THEORY is invalid!

Mary is a good example of a child being brainwashed and incapable of reasoning. She can't read or seem to understand anything but what is fed her.
If she had reasoning she would read my question and admit she has been MISINFORMED about the 'Ozone Hole'.
