Freeman Dyson, a British-American scientist, born 1923, believes that global warming is happening, and that one of the causes is man's burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
He thinks the computer models that scientists use to predict climate changes are not precise enough to be trusted.
He suggests that planting one trillion quick growing trees would remove all excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Why are kids being taught that global warming is a fact in school when it is an unproven theory at best?
There are two views on whether global warming is real: the view of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists and the views of non-scientists. Most children are being taught the scientific view of global warming, which is that global warming is really happening. After all, by the time many of them are adults, they will have to cope with some of the problems expected to occur as a result of global warming.
Which gas in the air is responsible for global warming?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas that is the reason for global warming. Another view: Water vapor is far and away the major gas in terms of global warming's additional heating of the planet. Carbon Dioxide increases alone can not cause the full increase that is currently believed to be happening. Additional water vapor, the earth's primary greenhouse gas, has to be calculated into the equation to account for the increase.
Does the Bible speak to global warming?
A:No. The authors of the Bible knew nothing of climate change. In any case, humans could have no material impact on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere until the Industrial Revolution. Perhaps we could find passages that we could interpret as dealing with this problem, but this was not the intention of the authors.
What are the skeptics' views on global warming?
A: There is no one skeptics' view on global warming. Some examples are:Some skeptics say the world is not warming at all. In fact a few even say that the world is cooling, although this flies in the face of meteorological records.Some say that if the world is warming, that is great. They think that global warming means warmer winters and more agricultural production, with no ill effects.Some say that if the world is warming, they realise that there will be winners and losers, but we expect to be among the winners. Losers could include inhabitants of Pacific Islan nations and Bangladesh, and perhaps some of our own coastal communities, but a lot of winners will live in richer nations.Some say that if the world is warming, there is nothing we can do about it. Variations on this include denying that atmospheric carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming, or that we are too powerless to stop rising levels.Some accept that global warming is real and that greenhouse gases are contributing to it, but say that rising greenhouse gas levels are not the result of human activity.Some claim that the short-term economic cost of halting global warming is more important than the long-term cost of climate change. A variation on this is to say that the evidence for global warming is still unconvincing to some, so why pay a cost now for a future benefit that might not materialise.A:Some think it isn't happening at all. They claim that more recent temperature readings are tainted by the Urban Heat Island effect.Others think even if it is happening, humans bear very little, if any, of the responsibility for it.They also point to NATURAL cycles of the Earth, the Sun, and our solar system's movement through the galaxy.Others think that, whether it is caused by humans or not, the results are not nearly as bad as predicted.
Is global warming real or is it just propaganda?
The science of global warming is not a hoax. No scientist has anything to gain by creating a hoax. In fact, any evidence that a research scientist has engaged in this would be career-destroying. The only employment open to trained scientists who value propaganda over research is in some sections of industry, but it is unlikely that any business would seek to create belief in global warming. As to whether global warming is real, the facts speak for themselves. The average global temperature is rising and has been doing so since the Industrial Revolution. The years 1998, 2005 and 2010 are regarded as the equal warmest years on record. The past decade was the warmest since instrumental measurements began in 1850, and the ten warmest years since 1850 have now all occurred since 1998.

What is the christians view of global warming?
There are many different views from different churches and Chritian organizations
What is the scientific view on the melting percentage of the geographic area in Antarctica?
It is a bad thing. It is taken to confirm global warming.
How much of a role in global warming do humans play?
This depends on your point of view. If the Oregon Report is correct (which I believe it is) there is no such thing as global warming, On the other hand, most climate scientists say that recent global warming and climate change are caused substantially by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), manufacturing cement and deforestation.
What does global view mean?
global view is the view (not the view that we see) looking around in global
What percentage of Democrats are into global warming?
The concept of Global Warming being real or not is hardly a party issue. The concept has moved away from the science and moved into a very political arena. Both sides take a similar view on Global Warming. They ignore the science and claim that the debate is over. It almost seems like the Democrat party's stand on global warming is that global warming is caused by Republicans. If you want it colder vote for Democrats. If you want it warmer vote for Republicans. This, of course, is not their official position.

Where in your view is the main threat to global peace and stability is coming from?
The US military considers global warming to be one of the primary threats to peace and stability. This is due to the uncertainty involved with crop failures and unusual worldwide weather patterns.
What are facts about the Arctic and how the ice is melting and how can you stop it?
The Arctic ice is melting because of global warming. The only way to stop it is to stop global warming. That will not be easy, and many countries are not very serious about it, being more concerned with the short term view of the next election. I can relate four ways the Arctic Ice is disintegrating but none on how to Stop It!
Is it true if global warming continues you will die?
If global warming continues unchecked then the world will get warmer and warmer and yes, you will die, along with every other living thing on the earth. Another View. However, there has been no warming for 17 years. Whether this is simply a pause, remains to be seen. There have also been cooling trends, examples: North America has seen three straight years of very cold winters, and also cooler summers.
