Global Warming Yahoos: Answer this please.?

Question

Canada, a socialist country, ALLOWS their press to discuss the fact that there is no solid evidence of global warming? NO WAY!

Climate researcher Dr. Tad Murty, former Senior Research Scientist for Fisheries and Oceans in Canada, also reversed himself from believer in man-made climate change to a skeptic. "I stated with a firm belief about global warming, until I started working on it myself," Murty explained on August 17, 2006. "I switched to the other side in the early 1990's when Fisheries and Oceans Canada asked me to prepare a position paper and I started to look into the problem seriously," Murty explained. Murty was one of the 60 scientists who wrote an April 6, 2006 letter urging withdrawal of Kyoto to Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper which stated in part, "If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary."

And there is a whole lot more where that came from.

Apparently, there are TONS of scientists who don't believe in Global warming. WHAT SAY YOU MR. SCIENTIST????

Hey buddy... I gave you the link. There are TONS of scientists who do not believe in Man made climate change.

Answer 1

Actually, there is more proof than not. I'm going to school right now to become a climatologist. I have done many research papers and have researched it for years now... and there is just way too much proof to believe global warming is not real, and for that fact, man has not done it.

Too much proof.

Answer 2

One that article is over a year old and two you completely missed the point. No one is arguing the the global climate doesn't change, the argument is that it is Anthropogenic, man caused if you will. So from the Fox News report, "...half of Democrats believe human behavior is the cause of global warming (52 percent) compared to 30 percent of Republicans." Please try to keep up with the subject at hand, and if you can't keep up perhaps you shouldn't be trying to do so. BTW, This report would indicate that last year at best perhaps half of Americans believed in AGW. I'd sure like to see an updated poll.

Answer 3

The answer is not simple. Global warming has been a fact for the last 10,000 years...since the last Ice Age, the planet has been steadily warming. At some point, solar output will diminish and we'll descend into another Ice Age. But the cause and effect are far less clear than some might lead you to believe. The climate is a complex mix of both biological and geological elements. For example: Volcanic eruptions put thousands of tons of so-called greenhouse gases into the upper atmosphere but the dust also tends to block some of the sun's rays to prevent warming. The end result is that after major eruptions, there is usually a "cooling" effect in the climate despite the vast amount of greenhouse gases emitted. That's a small example of the complexity of the issue. Should we try to limit pollutants from our cars and industrial processes? Of course. But we need not be myopic on the subject of Global Warming and it's causes and effects and blame it on man-made elements. The hypothesis cannot be tested in an experiment and the models used to verify the hypothesis are hardly accurate or objective.

Answer 4

There are also many scientist who do believe in global warming.

Also the Harper Government, although I may not agree with them on many policies has vowed to uphold Canada's Kyoto obligations.

As a side note there is some fairly solid evidence supporting global warming (especially in Canada) From the changing of pacific ocean currents, accelerated thawing of glaciers and ice fields, the thawing of the North West passage. Loss of land mass in the northern islands, as well as a small climate shift resulting in droughts in the prairies and increased precipitation in Central Canada.

There may very well be a handful of scientists who do object to local warming, but they speak nothing to the panel of 1200 of the foremost climatologist, geologist, biologists and environmental scientist who very recently agreed that the earth is going through an accelerated warming trend and that the cause is most likely man.

You reserve the right to be a skeptic; I too sincerely hope Global warming is proven wrong. The results of our current consumption are catastrophic. We are not consuming and disposing at a sustainable rate. We are not maintaining the fragile ecosystems which give us clean water, air and sustenance. I see no problem with changing our habits for the benefit of the world as we do only get one, one which we have been expertly destroying since the start of the industrial revolution.

Answer 5

Frankly, I don't think that global warming deniers have the analytical capacity to review the information and come up with rational conclusions. The link you give is sham science, no more credible than the "controlled demolition" theories about 9/11.

Frankly, I think that the same people who are global warming deniers would be 9/11 conspiracy theorists if they had a different political orientation.

Finally, even the extremists who still deny global warming should realize, obviously, that our dependence on fossil fuels from the middle east is THE national security issue of our time.

So, get a clue, stop obsessing about Al Gore and tell your idiot con politicians to support a Manhattan Project on alternative energy.

Answer 6

I hate to break it to you, but that information came from (American) Senator James Inhofe's blog. Nobody controls the American media.

There are some skeptical scientists (you might notice that most are not climate scientists). There are vastly more scientists who agree with the consensus that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming.

Answer 7

Global Warming is a high-dollar industry fueled by the corporations who make and market "clean alternatives." Notice how General Electric has jumped on the bandwagon and seen thier stock grow.

The reality is that the climate has always been shifting and changing long before man was on this planet. There were far more drastic shifts in both the ice age and the middle ages where the earth cooled and warmed at a greater rate than we are seeing today.

We cannot stop it so we need to adapt like creatures have (those who are still around) for millions of years.

Answer 8

If you check the front page of your source document, you'll find headlines like "Clinton Lied, They Yawned" with a very clear bias. It makes me question the "independence" of the article you provided. By the way, the article doesn't say that humans are clearly NOT responsible for pumping CO2 into the air or that CO2 will have no effect. "Skeptic" by its definition means "not convinced."

Mr. Nice Guy is right - so what if there is no human influence? How does it hurt me to cut funding to both sides of the war on terror by switching to renewable power sources like wind and solar, by reducing, reusing, and recycling? If, instead of saving the planet, I save a few bucks that I don't send to terrorists via the oil pipeline, I'm OKAY with that.

Answer 9

Global Warming is a con.

The planet has always naturally heated up and cooled down over the years. Heck Global Warming has been going on since the Ice Age, hence the melting of the ice, so it's not a new thing. Maybe mankind has speeded up things but it's not as bad as we are made to believe. Every 10 years theres a big hu-hah about Global Warming, the Ozone layer etc etc so now is no different the hyperbole will die down then dissapear for another 10 years.

Then people will use the excuse of freak weather anomalies as a way to scare us into believing, yet freak weather anomalies have been happening since the dawn of time.

This planet will eventually burn up and be destroyed in a few billion years or so anyway when the sun becomes a Red Giant and consumes us all. Heck if people want to stop our planet from dying then stop the sun from expanding. Of course that can't happen and there are no financial gains to be made from that, instead we'll just continue being lied to and continue to pay for the scam that is Global Warming.

P.S.
People rant on about Global Warming, but to me it seems to be getting colder. We've never had a decent summer in the UK since 2003, damn you Global Warming for making it colder, lol.

Answer 10

Well, thank goodness for clearing that up.
I guess now it will just be hunky dory to keep pumping carbon based, sulfide, and mercury pollutants into the atmosphere and water supplies as it won't bother anything.
I guess now instead of getting that V8 SUV I'll see if I can find a V10 or even a V12, you never know when you will have to drive over a mountain on the way to work.

Wake up. Even if global warming isn't in effect, dumping all this crud into the environment is still bad, for all the little creatures.
People are also one of the little creatures.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Answer 11

Global warming is the new hippie craze and if you don't join in the fun and make money off of it you are just not with it. Historian and climatologist all agree it has occurred frequently in history and will cycle again and again with or without man present. The "I hate humankind groups" just repackaged their message and marketed it better this time around. And these so called scientist that worked for the insurance companies and helped raise rates by 3x along the Gulf of Mexico states should be sunk in the ocean.
