Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

i think the theory and basic idea/conseption on global warming is fake but i believe in global warming

u have to think about that this is the first time science has studied this particular field, for me this is a big think but then again u have to think that the science is driven by goverment funding so that puts a whole different perspective on the whole thing

Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

I'll put it this way. I am for finding alternate sources of energy to clean up the air, but I do not think that we are causing the planet to warm up. I think it's a way for politicians and scientists to make money, funding, etc.

There are contrasting reports suggesting that sunspots are at their highest levels ever. It's more likely to believe that it's just a cycle of the sun releasing more energy, being that it's been rising for the past 1,500 years or so.

Here is the show that was on TV the other day Red...

Global Warming sounds like a hoax to me after watching this..

Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

the planet is warming but its not because of humans.

its not because I left a light bulb on last night or drive my car to the mail box.

Al Gore is an idiot, the only way to show how i feel about him is to watch the south park episode where hes looking for manbearpig... really funny stuff

And now the truth ...

The December 2006-February 2007 winter season temperature was marked by periods of unusually warm and cold conditions in the U.S., but the overall seasonal temperature was near average, according to scientists at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Precipitation was above average in much of the center of the nation while large parts of the East, Southeast, and Southwest were drier than average. The global temperature was the warmest on record for the December-February three-month period.

one year doesn't count as 'the truth'.

the fact that 10 of the last 30 years have been the warmest on record since we started keeping track is no coincidence. neither is the fact that huge chunks of the antarctic that have been covered by ice for thousands of years are now breaking off and floating away.

breaking off and floating != melting

Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

as a planet we melt and freeze. we as humans have been on this planet for not even a fraction of time. I am not buying into this utter commie-liberal bullshit. The fact that the sun is gas and it contracts and expands can change our weather. The list goes, not proof in the pudding. Just bullocks. /end rant.

Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

the planet has a cycle ... we are near the end of ours .. this can take several hundred years

no offense, but you don't know what you are talking about. i took atmospheric sciences for 3 years, some of which at a graduate level. solar irradiance has NOT changed measurably in the last 30 years. and we know what the temperature was like loooong before we were around. we have a very good idea about global temps due to the geologic record and ice cap measurments. by comparing the amount of O16 vs O18 (the two main isotopes of oxygen) in the rock record, we know how the climate was for hundreds of thousands of years, and how it has shifted. the fact is, while there have been wide variations in temperature, C02 levels, etc, over the earth's life...they don't change nearly as fast as they are now. that is, unless there is a major global event (ie. a comet smashing into the planet).

and yes pickle, breaking off & floating away of shleves of ice thousands of miles long is due to melting and nothing else.

Re: Global Warming - Fake or Real

thousands of miles long? do we have entire continents floating away into the middle of the sea?

More heat (Solar Output) = More vegetation = More CO2

As the ocean heats us the creatures in the sea are getting bigger because they are feeding more. As the planet heats up more vegetation causing more CO2 levels in Fall.
Direct Human impact is minimal.. But I'm all for the stopping of pollution because of other reasons like cancer, human defects, miscarriages, etc.... That's what I think from what I have researched (which isn't as much as I would like)
