Globaly warming essay? I think global warming is an issue for our generation, I never thought about it until I watched the movie ‘Inconvenient Truth’. It made me believe what was going on in our world. The thing that made me really believe the most was when the statistics showed the pattern of co2 and temperature levels. To explain it more deeply, scientists have now proven that it is a fact that when ever the co2 rises so does the temperature. They have taken measurements for many years now. So this means because we are producing more co2 it is going to make the temperature rise more and more. For a long time the co2 lvls have been pretty consistent but in the last few years they have gone very high. This is caused by the amount of co2 we use today, if you think about it every one is using petrol cars and companies uses a lot of co2 as well to manfacture products etc. And we burn coal to use electricity so everything you use with electricity is harming the environment. There are a lot of problems with global warming, it is causing destruction across world. One thing that is happning which mite not seem as a big deal is that ice caps are melting. Normaly the ice caps reflect the heat but the water around it asorbs heat so because of the hotter weather the water is getting warmer making the icecaps melt. The hotter waters is a huge problem when there is a natural disaster like a hurricane because when ever a hurricane picks up strength depending on the warmth of the water. This is causing huge destruction, the scientists can predict what type the hurricane it is going to be but if it goes over warmer water that can all change. There is a big problem in Antarctica. Polar bears are drowning , trees are getting covered by water and soon dying, houses are destroyed because the ice underneath is melting. Greenland is getting warmer, it rose 16 degrees in the past decade!! There is also another very big problem, mosquitoes are breeding higher and spreading more diseases. Scientists thought that some diseases were gone but the mosquitoes are spreading them around again and even new diseases are coming. So now people have to come up with new vaccines, and the people in 3rd world countries will have less chance of surviving. The words most famous mountains have changed you look back pictures of it 200 years ago and look now it is a lot different. There is a lot of things we can do to use less co2 scientests are getting busy making elictricty from things other than coal such as solar power, wind power

Here is truth about global warming:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth%26#039;s mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a %26#039;mini ice age%26#039;, so is
becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat %26#039;conveyor%26#039; which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

It%26#039;s been happening for millions of years.

The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.
As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to %26#039;predict%26#039; chaotic systems such as weather.

Global warming/cooling, AKA %26#039;climate change%26#039;:
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

mini ice ages eh? good point i told my mum she is very fascinated i thought global warming was bogus but it was easier to day it was true lol hmm

• William Gray, the well-known Colorado State University hurricane forecaster, routinely uses the annual National Hurricane Conference as a platform to bash global warming. In a statement to Florida Today, Gray argued that the scientific consensus on global warming is bogus — and %26quot;a mild form of McCarthyism has developed toward those scientists who do not agree%26quot; that mankind is in danger.
  
  %26quot;We are also brainwashing our children on the warming topic. We have no better example than Al Gore%26#039;s alarmists and inaccurate movie which is being shown in our schools and being hawked by warming activists with little or no meteorological-climate background,%26quot; Gray wrote.
  
  Some scientists believe global warming will actually decrease — not increase — the number of hurricanes that form over the Atlantic Ocean each year. Last Friday, in the final session of the hurricane conference, a pair of climate experts said rising sea-surface temperatures in and near the Caribbean could strengthen vertical wind shear. Robust wind shear is the bane of hurricanes, as it tends to tear apart cyclones during their formative stages.
  
  %26quot;If (global warming) were to happen, that is an effect which should be more hostile to hurricane building,%26quot; said Thomas Knutson, research meteorologist with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J.
  
  Knutson and Chris Landsea, science and operations officer with the National Hurricane Center in Miami, said historic observation data and computer models debunk doomsday scenarios that foresee armadas of deadly hurricanes, slamming into the Southeast. %26quot;Any (hurricane) trend we%26#039;re seeing due to global warming — and I do agree global warming%26#039;s real, and manmade causes contribute to it — really has very limited impact, very tiny changes,%26quot; Landsea said.
  
  Both scientists referred to the global warming studies of ocean climatologist Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Emanuel noted that from 1972-2004, Atlantic surface temperatures and hurricane intensity were closely linked.
• Man made global warming is a MYTH. More CO2 means that we will have more plant life. There are more trees in America now than there was 200 years ago. Also on CO2, man produces 3% the other 97% comes from mother Earth. What Al Gore is preaching is global socialism. You really need to go to the library and check out some books. Here are a few:
  1-Hard Green: Saving the Environment from the Environmentalist by Peter Huber. 2-Eco Imperalism: Green Power, Black Death by Paul Driessen. 3-Meltdown: The predictable Distoration of Global Warming by Politicians, Science and the Media by Patrick J. Micheals. 4-The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism by Christoper C. Horner. Lastly, the Earth has been going through changes for billions of years. How long has man been around? Do not buy into the hype, do your own research. Man is not that arrogant.
• The Book “An Inconvenient Truth” was written by a pure politician for purely political gain and has absolutely no basis in fact, except that he is taking advantage of natural climate cycles to yell “The Sky is Falling”
  Considering 80% of our impending climate change is due to natural solar cycles and Earth orbit eccentricities (proven by Mackovich Earth orbit and Vostok ice core studies), and it has taken over 200 years of industrial pollution to create our share of it (about 20%)… no short term action will have any immediate effect. In theory, if we immediately stopped using Co2 producing energy sources, we could expect to see a reversal of our contribution (that’s only 20% remember) to climate change within 100 to 150 years.
