*the causes of global warming
*the effects of global warming
*what can be done to prevent it or stop it
*the various types of global warming

If you can answer any of these questions too it will be awsome

2. During the medieval warm period (820 – 1040 AD), Greenland supported farming. Those areas previously farmed are now covered in glaciers. Obviously the melting and reformation of glaciers is a cyclical occurrence.
3. The earth experienced a little ice age which ended around the late 1860%26#039;s or so. This is about the time man started recording temperatures. This would be like measuring a lake depth after a severe drought, then worrying about it flooding as it rose to normal levels.
4. The earth has been warming for the last 10,000 years, since the last major glacier time period. Also, for most of the last 1 billion years, the earth had NO glaciers or ice coverage.

5. The AGW theory states that CO2 is the primary driver of temperature. They arrived at this idea because they did not know of anything else which could cause it. But during the 70%26#039;s and during the current decade, temperatures dropped while CO2 continued to rise. This means that natural occurrences are driving temp, not CO2.
6. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation and sun spots provides a much better correlation to earths%26#039; temperature than CO2 levels ever have.

7. Polar Bears are experiencing a population boom. Coke sales in the arctics are through the roof. Polar Bears have been around for thousands of years, and remember, we are only at the average for the last 2,000 years. They lived through all the previously warmer climates.

8. The glaciers have been melting now for over 10,000 years. the current rate of melting is similar to previous melting.
9. There is no consensus on AGW. This was a lie that has been propagated by the media.

10. Yes we emit CO2 into the atmosphere and it is a greenhouse gas, but, we only contribute about .28% of all the greenhouse effect. Water vapor makes up about 95% of the greenhouse effect. CO2 and other trace gases round out the greenhouse gases at about 5% for all of them. Of that 5%, only 3% is CO2, and most of that is natural. Again, our contribution to the greenhouse effect is a paltry .28%

11. The spread of disease is not attributed mainly to temperature. If this were the case, Florida would be a giant festering disease ridden cesspool. Economic standing is the primary determining factor in the spread of disease. Poor cultures can not fight the disease or eradicate the pests like more successful nations.

12. Natural climate disasters (hurricanes, cyclones, etc) have never been scientifically linked to global warming (whether natural or man made).

cause- global warming is a natural thing has happened since the earth was first created (global cooling also)
effect- well like i said its natural, things can increase the RATE of global warming, like us putting harmful toxins and crap into the atmosphere.. and the fact that we are coming out of an ice age is why the atmosphere is warming rapidly also
PREVENTION- we dont want to prevent it or we will all die and live on a planet like mars, but if we want to decrease the rate so that we can easilier adapt to it we would reduce our greenhouse gas emissions
What is being done.. well we are attempting to reduce our emissions
Just remember global warming isnt a bad thing ok! Seriously we need it to live, we just need to learn to adapt to it and not effect the rate to rapidly
Hope this helps in a more understandable manner 0% 0 Votes
