Do you actually believe in Global Warming? Global Warning might be the biggest hunk of BS i%26#039;ve ever heard of. I meen Al Gore kind of put his foot in his own mouth wit his movie. For example he showed how the earth goes through patterns where the temperature rises dramatically and then cools down dramatically. He showed recent patterns and it just proved that we are in a stage of temperature rising. Yes it is global warming but its not a huge issue that people are making it out to be. Temperatures are rising because thats the way earth cycles. I just want to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

It sounds like you%26#039;ve been watching Fox News. Here%26#039;s where they get their Junk Science segments on global warming:

%26quot;Objective viewers long ago realized that Fox News has a political agenda. But, when a pundit promotes this agenda while on the take from corporations that benefit from it, then Fox News has gone one disturbing step further%26quot;

%26quot;The first significant mention of Mr. Milloy is when he was working for a think tank known as the National Environmental Policy Institute. This think tank was originally funded using money from corporate polluters including Exxon, Bethlehem Steel, and Shell Oil. NEPI’s raison d’être was to encourage public mistrust of scientific studies that hadn’t been funded by the polluters themselves, and according to SourceWatch.org, NEPI activities were very effective.%26quot;

We know it%26#039;s warming, and we%26#039;ve measured how much:

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science...

Scientists have a good idea how the Sun and the Earth%26#039;s natural cycles and volcanoes and all those natural effects change the global climate, so they%26#039;ve gone back and checked to see if they could be responsible for the current global warming. What they found is:

Over the past 30 years, all solar effects on the global climate have been in the direction of (slight) cooling, not warming. This is during a very rapid period of global warming.

A recent study concluded:

“the range of [Northern Hemisphere]-temperature reconstructions and natural forcing histories…constrain the natural contribution to 20th century warming to be %26lt;0.2°C [less than one-third of the total warming]. Anthropogenic forcing must account for the difference between a small natural temperature signal and the observed warming in the late 20th century.”

You can see this in the third graph here, where the dotted lines are just from natural causes, and the full lines are natural + human causes:

http://www.pnas.org/content/vol104/issue...

If that’s not enough to convince you the Sun isn’t responsible, consider the fact that no scientific study has ever attributed more than one-third of the warming over the past 30 years to the Sun, and most attribute just 0-10% to the Sun.

So the Sun certainly isn%26#039;t a large factor in the current warming. They%26#039;ve also looked at natural cycles, and found that we should be in the middle of a cooling period right now.

%26quot;An often-cited 1980 study by Imbrie and Imbrie determined that %26#039;Ignoring anthropogenic and other possible sources of variation acting at frequencies higher than one cycle per 19,000 years, this model predicts that the long-term cooling trend which began some 6,000 years ago will continue for the next 23,000 years.%26#039;%26quot;

So it%26#039;s definitely not the Earth%26#039;s natural cycles. They looked at volcanoes, and found that

a) volcanoes cause more global cooling than warming, because the particles they emit block sunlight

b) humans emit over 150 times more CO2 than volcanoes annually

http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/Gases/man....

So it%26#039;s certainly not due to volcanoes. Then they looked at human greenhouse gas emissions. We know how much atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased over the past 50 years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mauna...

And we know from isotope ratios that this increase is due entirely to human emissions from burning fossil fuels. We know how much of a greenhouse effect these gases like carbon dioxide have, and the increase we%26#039;ve seen is enough to have caused almost all of the warming we%26#039;ve seen over the past 30 years (about 80-90%). You can see a model of the various factors over the past century here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clima...

This is enough evidence to convince almost all climate scientists that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming.

It doesn%26#039;t matter whether you belive in global warming or not, its true and its happening right now and its because of us.

dude. how can you not believe in something that can be proven and has evidence? that%26#039;s like not believing in dinosaurs.

but, you%26#039;re only saying this because you just want attention. ;D so get off the computer and go play hopstoch on a busy freeway. (:

Things you %26#039;believe%26#039; in belong to the mystics and soothsayers.

Science %26#039;is%26#039; and not refutable.

No one argues about the speed of light, the distance the Earth is from the Sun, nor the rate objects fall.
