What are two different viewpoints about global warming?

Answer 1

One view is that global warming is a serious problem that is happening because man is adding extra greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and by cutting down forests.

Another view is that the world has also already been through these stages long before and it is nature taking its course. It is also that the world is aging rapidly. It is just the way of the world.

Answer:

To be honest, there are so many views on the subject that this hard drive would be full just mentioning all of them. The bulk of the world seems to believe that man is adding to the global warming that is occurring naturally. Over fifty percent believe this, although more and more people are starting to realize that they are not being given all of the facts. here is a typical view of a skeptic:

"Many realize that the Antarctic has been growing, not shrinking. Sea Levels are not climbing faster today. They are even starting to recede. 1938 was a record warm year. The 1400's were even warmer it appears.

The opposition's view to man made global warming simply says that the data we see is very minimal and selective.

No recent warming past 1939 levels and no sea level increase spells disaster for those that depend on income from grants. There is no money in pointing out nothing is going wrong. You only get grants to scare people. "

We do not know what is going on with climate, other then it always is changing.

Answer 2

There are always people who don't agree or believe in something. There is a large number of people in the US who don't accept that the earth revolves around the sun.

Most (97%) climate scientists around the world agree that global warming is happening and that it is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

A small number of scientists don't agree that global warming is happening, and an even smaller number don't accept that it is caused by human activity.

Answer 3

One view (shared by the vast majority of climate scientists) is that the human combustion of fossil fuels, which introduces over 20 billion tons of heat trapping CO2 into the atmosphere each year, is driving current climate change (global warming).

The other view, according to two separate independent polls of peer reviewed climate researchers, reveals that 3% of them accept that our planet's climate is warming, but remain unconvinced the data implicating human activity is sufficiently compelling to accept the theory.

Of scientists in general, regardless of their field of inquiry, 80% concur with the general consensus regarding anthropogenic climate change.

Answer 4

1. We can stop global warming if we act now by stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and changing to renewable energy.
2. We can't stop global warming, as we have left it too late. The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at the moment will continue heating our planet for the next hundred years even if we stopped burning coal tomorrow.

Answer 5

1. It's happening, and it's being caused by human burning of fossil fuel and deforestation. (97% of climate scientists agree with this.)
2. It's not happening,

• or if it is, it's not caused by humans,
• or if it is, it's not dangerous,
• or if it is, it's natural.
  

Answer 6

One theory of global warming is the impact that humans are having on the planet by using products such as aerosols. Another would be the rising levels of carbon dioxide.
