some people claim global warming is a myth what have its supporters...?

Question

got to gain by dreaming global warming up?
i mean it just makes everybody's life including the people making the claims more difficult

Answer 1

Some people, in the 30s, said Hitler was good for Germany. Life's like that.

Answer 2

The earth's climate has always changed, and will always change. Earth is not a static planet. The conference in Bali will not mean a jot for a lot of people. Just a lot of hot air, from a lot of well paid so called experts. What agreement, a lot of baloney!
I would like to know what wages these people are on to tell us frankly that the planet is changing. Big deal.
Who says we have the right to live anyway, some animals have become extinct, we are only animals (human) so perhaps we might become extinct.
If anything happens to planet Earth we will all be affected, the rich & privileged will not be able to run anywhere and there might be winners and losers so a change in world power, ie. land, power, resources. Is that what the real panic is all about?
I will take my chances. Chances are, we are looking in one direction and something else from another direction annihilates us all. Have we made any plans for that.
Talk about a panic!

Answer 3

I think Global Warming has two parts. One is the universe is getting hotter and our earth is naturally heating up along with the rest of the universe.
Two is that we need to adapt to this change because our current lifestyle is making the earth unable to deal with this heat appropriately and we are causing the earth to heat up more than it normally would.
I think people are unable to see things in the gray and are doing the black and white (Fox news or Scientific fact) they don't see that these problems are hand and hand.
Both explanations are very valid but do not count each other out they explain the whole truth of the subject.
We need to change our lifestyle but the world would probably heat up a little anyway if you truly look at the facts, it would not be a catastrophe it would be a normal cycle. We would have some balance and the ice caps would be fine.

Answer 4

Global warming is not a myth-- the idea that we caused it is a myth. Check out astronomy sites, they will tell you the temp. of all local planets is rising. Humans could not take credit for that, the sun can. The myth that humans caused this is another way to make you feel better when you are deprived of liberties and luxuries. Twenty years ago we faced another ice age. Do you remember being afraid? Now I gotta face global warming. Make up your minds, smart dudes.

Answer 5

"Have you noticed that virtually NONE of the people claiming that global warming is real have any experience whatsoever in climatology"

This will be news to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, founded by the World Meteorological Organisation and comprising thousands and thousands of experienced climatologists around the world.

Note: the cause of global warming is NOT the sun. The sun is responsible for global warmth, but not global warming. Variations in solar output are SMALLER than the increased temperature attributable to global warming, and do not account for it. If they did, the earth would be warmer when closer to the sun, and colder when farthest. But the earth is closest to the sun in winter, and farthest in summer.

And the notion that climatologists somehow 'forgot' about the sun is bizarre, and rather naieve.

Still, let those who think global warming is not anthropic provide some peer-reviewed climatological research to underpin their argument.

I shall get in some coffee and biscuits, it will be a long wait.

Answer 6

Some people still claim that smoking doesn't really cause cancer either.

There is a lot of money to be made by burning fossil fuels. If everybody took global warming seriously and didn't drive one day a week that would save on average one and a half million barrels of oil a day in the US. The world economy burns 82.6 million barrels of oil a day. If we get 10% of our electricity from renewalable resourses then the US alone would save another million barrels of oil a day and I believe another million tons of coal per day also. And if we actually cut back and lets say use 10% less electircity then the savings would be even greater.

Now oil is going for $90 a barrel and coal about $50 a ton, so do the math and see how much the big energy companies lose in lost revinue by a little light conservation.

With that kind of money on the table it's easy to find a few "exberts" to be your "ho" schill for you.

Answer 7

Global warming is a fact! It is happening, no matter what anyone says or thinks! It is, however not a man caused phenomenon! It is a cyclical, natural happening! The earth has been through many global warmings and will continue to do so! The effective of man on this cycle is totally negligible.

Answer 8

It seems that most of the global warming interests favour big government. They have an ideological agenda that favours interventionist government and the dilution of national sovereignty. "We are saving the earth" makes better propaganda than "we are going to shove socialism down your throat even if you vote against it because we know what is best for you". Doesn't Gore own a firm that sells carbon credits? I guess he would be in a position to make billions of dollars if the US had to buy credits to conform with Kyoto. Nice that he flies around in a private jet telling the little people to reduce their consumption.

Answer 9

causes of global warming
Over the past 400,000 years, average global temperatures have been as high as six degrees above and as low as 17 degrees below today’s average temperatures1. These changes had many different causes, including volcanic eruptions, oscillations in the Earth’s orbit around the sun and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations.

Scientists say that the earth’s average temperature could rise by between 2.5 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit by 21002. This would put global average temperatures at the highest levels in thousands of years. But it is not the level of temperature rise that makes today’s global warming dangerous: it is its speed and its causes. The temperature today is changing at a rate faster than ever, and it is caused by man-made mechanisms, not the natural ones that led to previous climate oscillations.

Today, climate change is being driven by the addition of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the earth's atmosphere at rates faster than the planet's normal mechanisms can adjust to. The result is increasing concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere, and because they trap heat, increasing temperatures. Temperature trends are best shown by the famous “hockey stick graph”, shown in the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” andSo, why should we be worried? The reason is that changes smaller than those predicted by many climate change models could have major environmental consequences. These include:

Rises in sea level of as much as three feet across the globe, flooding land where millions of people now live
Reductions in rainfall across vast areas where crops are now grown
The melting of many glaciers and a rise in snow elevations, affecting water supplies across the globe
Storms including hurricanes of increasing intensity and frequency
Extinction of animal and plant species as the pace of change in habitat driven by global warming outstrips their ability to adjustSome scientists make even more dramatic predictions.

As shown in “An Inconvenient Truth”, the Greenland ice sheet is melting at a rate faster than predicted by many climate models. The melting of this sheet could shut down the circulation of warm water in the Atlantic Ocean, plunging Europe into a new ice age while the rest of the planet continues to warm. And, a catastrophic fracture of various ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic regions could cause sea level to rise by amounts as high as 20 feet in a very short period of time

Answer 10

Why would you even ask this question? Can't you see that many Global warming "Experts" have made a ton of money off of global warming. Al Gore came up with this great idea called carbon credits. Which basicly means use as much as you want,but then pay carbon credits to offset them,and the carbon credit company (Which Gore owns) will plant some trees to offset your use of energy. It's a scam.

Answer 11

Global warming skipped Oklahoma. It's colder than it's ever been in Calif.
