why are humans part of the global warming problem?

Question

what are humans emiting into the environment to comtribute to the global warming effects.

Answer 1

Humans are part of the global warming problem because they keep insisting that global warming is our fault.

If they'd look at the data and studies instead of computer models that can't forecast the next three months correctly, they'd see:

1) that warming is cyclical; that it's been happening forever on this planet;
2) that compared to the frosts of the "little ice age" of 400 years ago, warm is good; that the warming may have actually stopped in 1998;
3) that the solar cycles are much better predictors of warming and cooling than the amount of CO2 in the air;
4) that the same "glaciers and icecaps are melting" hue and cry happened in the 1920's, before large rises in the CO2 levels;
5) that the northern ice cap's reduced expanse was caused by a change in winds that pushed a lot of ice into really warm water;
6) that the recovery of that ice coverage began long before winter set in;
7) that while the Arctic was experiencing "record low" ice coverage, the Antarctic was at an "all time" high;
8) that the people screaming about "global warming" right now, were screaming about "global cooling" just thirty years ago;
9) that the biggest greenhouse gas is water vapor (95% of all heat trapping) and that it is the Sun and cosmic rays that determine how much water is in the air and how clouds form;
10) that CO2 levels have been much higher than they are now, in the past when "evil mankind" was not manufacturing anything.

Answer 2

We emit CO2 , Methanates and other chemicals which alter the atmosphere's chemistry.

CO2 - based on hundreds of different studies and analyses we know that CO2 increases temperatures, as such we know that automobiles and factories put out a large amount of CO2 through exhaust/waste gasses by burning fossil fuels.

Methanates - Methane and other similar gasses come from decomposing biomass (microbes or plantlife) as well as from some factory exhausts, these methanates are dangerous in that they are POWERFUL greenhouse gasses - more than 20x more powerful than CO2 at causing warming. There are large stores of frozen methanates in the Tundra/Taiga of the Arctic, which unfreeze for just a few days each year.

Global warming disproportionately affects the poles, raising local temperatures near the poles (in the arctic) by as much as 12 degrees, even though - the "average" temperature for the planet only goes up 0.1 degree thats because some other areas over oceans may have broad / slight cooling - which "averages" out - and looks "ok" but it's not.

Consider a list of numbers
{-1,-1,-1, -1,-1,-2,0,+7,+1} , well the "average" for this list is only 1, but there's that +7 there that might give me some concern, you might even be tempted to say , the "average" temperature looks like it's going "down" and cooling, but you definitely would want to figure out what that +7 was all about.

Well, what scares most scientists is that they figured out that Methanates are what are causing that +7 (in our simple example), and that has caused alot of them to become VERY concerned that we don't let things get out of control.

Answer 3

carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, car emissions, power plants emissions, industrial emissions, anything that is burned goes to the atmosphere and gets build up in a thick layer of smoke that makes the earth retain more heat. which melts down the glaciers. since the water in the oceans travel in currents toward the glaciers to get cooled, it fails to get cooled like is supposed to because of the melting, and water in the oceans are warmer, so more storms arise and the sea level rises more every year.

Answer 4

global warming is a natural process, but it ussually takes hundreds of millions years, we have sped it up by our green house gas emmisions

Answer 5

For the most part it's pure and simple GREED!

Answer 6

i dont know maybe war greed money

you know corrupt politics and robber barrens

Answer 7

we make the pollutants that cause the problem.
