Global Warming???

Elvin Weichbrodt: It's a myth, doesn't exist. There is zero proof.

Wilfred Santacruce: Nothing it's all the media and their lies #obama

Ileen Oshell: Greenhouse gasses keep our planet Earth warm and habitable. If not for the greenhouse effect of our atmosphere our planet would be a giant frozen iceball. During the long history of our planet there have been episodes of global warming and global cooling. While planetary pertubations and solar activity have played some role in this, most of the variation has come from changes in atmospheric gasses. Sometimes evolutionary processes have contributed to atmospheric gasses (evolution of phytoplankton, evolution of gymnosperms, etc.) and sometimes geological events like supervolcanic eruptions.Volcanoes affect the atmosphere because they put carbon dioxide into the air, which traps heat and leads to global warming. The greatest volcanic activity the Earth has ever seen, 251 million years ago (mya) covered Siberia in l! ava flows several hundred feet deep (google Siberian traps) and caused the Earth's temperature to rise 26 degrees F. The result was the sudden extinction of 99% of all life on our planet (google Permian/Triassic mass extinction event). The geological sediments following this era are known as the "dead zone." A less extreme supervolcanic event warmed Earth 14 mya bringing about tropical forests in Europe. All polar ice melted and Florida was under 200 feet of water (go look for marine fossils at Cargill Mines in Florida sometime). Another supervolcanic event ended the Pleistocene Ice Age.Human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, puts a lot of carbon dioxide into the air, enough so that we now mimic a supervolcanic event. Unless we want to see the consequences of a Florida 200 feet under water or the sudden extinction of 99% of species, perhaps we should then take global warming more seriously....Show more

Nedra Oltz: For those people that say global warming ! is not real or that it is not going to affect us because it al! ways happens are IDIOTS! Why, ell the evidence is there in soil and ice samples that climate change has always existed but the way that man pollutes was never a factor in those findings. Using your own common sense knowing with all the crap we have put into the air and soil and water, Nature can only clean up so much. We are killing ourselves with these new diseases that are being created because of pollution. If the worlds climate changes and there are droughts and famine and severe storms what do you think will happen to our society. It will break down and the science fiction of the past will become the fact of tomorrows that are fast approaching. Yes climate change is inevitable but because of mans polluting ways it's happening too fast too soon. And we all will suffer!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming...Show more

George Dingeldein: Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's ! the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.It won't be a Hollywood style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.More information here:http://profend.com/global-warming/http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/f101.aspLots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Climate_Change_...http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdfWhat it could do to our civilization here:http://www.reuters.com/article/inDepthNews/idU!

Lue Podewils: First off the definition of Global Warming is making the extreams more extream. That is why it is still very cold out side in April. That is also why most people dont belive it is real. They think it is freezing in April so we dont have to worry about it. WRONG. It is very real. If you wacth Planet Earth on the discovery channel you will see first hand how we are effected by it.

Tobie Oshea: You should rent "An Inconvenient Truth" it's a movie where Al Gore explains Global Warming in a very basic yet effective way.Or...Check out the following link to How Stuff Works. Great reference site......Show more

Soraya Coodey: You should watch a movie called an Inconsistent Truth. Spotted Al Gore would not approve of this movie.

Faustino Mellerson: Global warm! ing is a significant increase in the Earth's climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans

Myron Leftwich: If you want to acquire provide cash for local weather study, do you suppose that you can get a cheque when you say," I want the provide, as I suppose that I can turn out that the figures that the present paradigm is centered upon are mistaken" ? The fine environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. There continues to be no established causative hyperlink among the quantity of Co2 within the surroundings, and an broaden in worldwide temperatures. The WWWF snap shots of the polar bears swimming had been taken within the Arctic summer season; while the ice cap partly melts, as they could not rise up to photo within the iciness. The ice used to be too thick! The East-Anglian uni study figures. "Oh! The figures do not fit our expectancies. Oh good. Keep quiet. Because we all know that we! 're correct." When the notion, and the religion is extra most important! than squarely going through the reputable doubts of plenty of non provide-supported scientists, technological know-how has been superceded via devout zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully mentioned." I pray thee, within the bowels of Christ, recollect that thou mayest be mistaken."...Show more

Coleman Petropoulos: A careful look at global warming, as a topic, shows that there is a great deal of disagreement about the facts and substance of climate change. Those who blame man for climate change often disagree about what facts lead them to that conclusion. Those who hold man totally innocent of it often ignore established facts. Experience and research leads us to believe that warming is, in fact, occurring; however, there is little to no objective evidence that man is the cause, nor that the effects will be catastrophic. The idea of earth “wearing out” is an apt analogy. This entire world has been continually decaying since the fall.Global warming “facts” ar! e notoriously hard to come by. One of the few facts universally agreed upon is that the current average temperature of Earth is indeed rising at this time. According to most estimates, this increase in temperature amounts to about 0.4-0.8 °C (0.72-1.44 °F) over the last 100 years. Data regarding times before that is not only highly theoretical but very difficult to obtain with any accuracy. The very methods used to obtain historical temperature records are controversial, even among the most ardent supporters of the theory of human-caused climate change. The facts leading one to believe that humans are not responsible for the current change in temperature are as follows:• Global temperature changes from past millennia, according to available data, were often severe and rapid, long before man supposedly had any impact at all. That is, the current climate change is not as unusual as some alarmists would like to believe.• Recent recorded history mentions times of noticeab! le global warming and cooling, long before man had any ability to produ! ce industrial emissions.• Water vapor, not CO2, is the most influential greenhouse gas. It is difficult to determine what effect, if any, mankind has on worldwide water vapor levels.• Given the small percentage of human-produced CO2, as compared to other greenhouse gases, human impact on global temperature may be as little as 1%.• Global temperatures are known to be influenced by other, non-human-controlled factors, such as sunspot activity, orbital movement, volcanic activity, solar system effects, and so forth. CO2 emission is not the only plausible explanation for global warming.• Ice Age temperature studies, although rough, frequently show temperatures changing before CO2 levels, not after. This calls into question the relationship between warming and carbon dioxide; in some cases, the data could easily be interpreted to indicate that warming caused an increase in carbon dioxide, rather than the reverse!• Computer simulations used to “predict” or “demons! trate” global warming require the assumption of human causation, and even then are not typically repeatable or reliable. Current computer weather simulations are neither predictive nor repeatable.• Most of the global temperature increase of the last 100 years occurred before most of the man-made CO2 was produced.• In the 1970s, global temperatures had actually been dropping since 1945, and a “global cooling” concern became prominent, despite what is now dismissed as a lack of scientific support.• The “consensus” claimed by most global warming theorists is not scientific proof; rather, it is a statement of majority opinion. Scientific majorities have been wrongly influenced by politics and other factors in the past. Such agreement is not to be taken lightly, but it is not the same thing as hard proof.• This “consensus,” as with many other scientific theories, can be partially explained by growing hostility to those with differing viewpoints, making it l! ess likely that a person without preconceived notions would take on the! subject for research. The financial and political ramifications of the global warming debate are too serious to be ignored, though they should not be central to any discussion.• The data being used to support anthropogenic (man-caused) global warming is typically based on small data sets, single samples, or measurements taken in completely different regions. This creates an uncertainty in the results that rarely gets the attention that alarmist conclusions do.While the above list is not exhaustive, it does include several of the major points that raise doubts about mankind’s actual effect on global temperatures. While no one can deny that warming is occurring, “overwhelming evidence” of any objective type does not exist to support the idea that global warming is significantly influenced by human actions. There is plenty of vague, short-sighted, and misunderstood data that can be seen as proving “anthropogenic” global-warming theory. All too often, data used to ! blame humans for global warming is far less reliable than data used for other areas of study. It is a valid point of contention that the data used in these studies is frequently flawed, easily misinterpreted, and subject to preconception.In regards to issues such as this, skepticism is not the same as disbelief. There are fragments of evidence to support both sides, and logical reasons to choose one interpretation over another. The question of anthropogenic global warming should not divide Christian believers from each other (Luke 11:17). Environmental issues are important, but they are not the most important questions facing mankind. Christians ought to treat our world with respect and good stewardship, but we should not allow politically driven hysteria to dominate our view of the environment. Our relationship with God is not dependent on our belief in human-caused global warming.For further research on global warming, we recommend the following articles:http://www.icr.or! g/article/3233/http://www.junkscience.com/Greenhouse/ http://www.clearl! ight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/ice_age...http://www.xtronics.com/reference/globalwarming.ht...http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/5/14...http://www.whrc.org/carbon/images/GlobalCarbonCycl...http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/fig3-1.ht...Read more: http://www.gotquestions.org/global-warming.html#ix......Show more

Antone Bual: Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects this text only covers some aspects of global warming ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification water and air polution such as caused by industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regionsthere are natural cycles in the planets life but a lot is influenced by mans exi! stance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life formsclimate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions DEFORESTATIONin the pastthe Building of the Spanish Armada deforrested Spain the Phoenician trading fleet turned Lebanon in a dessertGanges Khan put everything to the sword and torch, then filled the wells with sand, the sun finished of the job and whole countries turned to wastelands.

Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,Farmersare overpumping deep carbon aquifiersand plowing more and more unstable lands going into the jungles and onto mountain slopesexpanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's clearing them for farming and settlement areas .Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a yearand most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not g! etting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.collectively this planet is drying up ,each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop lossand there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,and there are less and less farmers to do it..Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities. Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people. Africa and Asia are loosing millions of people to AIDS , many of whom were food producers. The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil. Over the last half century,Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 milli! on tons to 1,855 million In the near future the global farming communit! y will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .RISING SEASThe northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matterGlobal warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to helphttp://www.eco-gaia.net/forum-pt/index.p...http://www.greenpeace.org/international/...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/natur......Show more

Dedra Furguson: There is zero empirical evidence of any manmade global warming. Water vapor is the b! iggest greenhouse gas and it occurs naturally in our environment. CO2 is not harmful to life and absorbs very little radiant heat from the sun or the rays of the sun. CO2 is absolutely essential to life on Earth. The more CO2 the more plants we will have growing.
