No scientist has anything to gain by creating a hoax or deliberately lying to say that average global temperatures are rising - the normal definition of global warming. 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. However, Richard Muller, a Physics Professor and longtime critic of government-led climate studies believed that there was an inadvertent lie behind the science of global warming. He sought to address what he called "the legitimate concerns" of sceptics who believe global warming is exaggerated and undertook what was termed the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project at the University of California, Berkeley, to demonstrate that there was at least some poor science involved. Professor Muller unexpectedly told a congressional hearing the work of the three principal groups that have analysed the temperature trends underlying climate science is "excellent ... We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups." Thus the only potential proof that global warming was in some way a lie foundered.

Well,Republicans do want WAR,Don't belive global warming is caused by HUMANS nor exists,Lie most of the time like ''Democrat is a Religon that doesen't belive in God,so they kind of do,but I have a lot more reasons that would take to much time.


Are people causing global warming?

Many scientists believe that humans are part of the cause. Some have said its mostly caused by natural events (including the sun).A recent poll among 3,146 earth scientists (climatologists) found that 90 percent believe global warming is real, while 82 percent agree that human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures.


Is Global Warming a myth?

Yes, it's very real! The industries threatened by global warming are spending tens of millions of dollars on disinformation campaigns to make us believe that man is not causing the climate to warm up. Science historian Naomi Oreskes has done an excellent job of documenting the fact that there has been a continuous scientific consensus in anthropogenic global warming (man is causing the climate to heat up) since 1979. The American Geophysical Union recently did a survey of scientists on this topic. They found that 97% of climate scientists who are actively doing research on the climate all believe that man is causing global warming. Global warming is very, very real. A closely related phenomenon could end up killing us all. Recent research has shown that 3 of the five mass extinctions in earth's history has been caused when the oceans have gone anoxic (oxygen deprived) and hydrogen sulfide producing anaerobic bacteria has released hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere killing most forms of plant and animal life. These events have happened when the C02 concentration in the atmosphere reached about 1000 ppm. We are currently at 400 ppm and this is increasing by 3.5 ppm per year -- and the rate of increase in increasing.


Why is global warming serious?

Global warming is very serious, the melting of ice caps is rapid, and Earth could be finished within a 100 years if we keep going at this insane rate. Answer: Global warming has been identified as a major issue for the global community. More properly this is called "Global Climate Change" as some areas may be warmer, some cooler, some wetter, some drier...Background:The contention of the larger number of climatologists is that human activities since the industrial revolution have increased the content of CO2, methane and other gases in the atmosphere that trap solar heat. At the same time human activities have reduced the forest cover that had traditionally absorbed these same materials. They state that an increasing level of these atmospheric constituents has lead to a chain of chemical and physical changes that have increased the world's average temperature.Observations of atmospheric gas composition, average sea water temperatures, atmospheric temperatures etc. confirm the trends and support the proposition.Potential Impacts: 1. The sea levels may rise. Technically this may be caused by melting ice from the polar ice caps or an increase in sea height as the less dense water is less compressed. Low lying land like many Pacific Islands and Miami will be under water. 2. Serious climate changes may result from diverted ocean currents. As an example, the Gulf Stream keeps Europe warm. If the Stream is not running Europe may be much cooler and drier. Crops may not grow. 3. Ecology changes on the land could include species of animals and plants extending their range to the polar regions. Local flora and fauna may become extinct. A good example is the spread of Africanized bees and Fire Ants. Sea life may also be impacted both through the introduction of competitive species presently kept in other areas by water temperature changes, and by failure to adapt to less saline water. 4. Human society may be disrupted if changes in rainfall and temperature cause crop failure. Famine refugees may require significant humanitarian attention by the "lucky" nations.Conflicting opinions? Yes indeed, some people don't agree! However, the problem breaks down into two potential scenarios. Either there is a basis for fear about climate change, or, there isn't. If Climate Change isn't real and we do nothing - good! Except of course many of the problems that science has identified and blamed as causing Climate Change are just plain wastes of resources, and inefficient and uneconomical practices that should be addressed anyway. A polluted, climatically steady world with no fish and no oil will be no fun at all.If Climate Change is not real and we do all the things that we should - reduce emissions, cut fuel use, re-establish forests - we're out money (maybe) but in general the world is a better and more sustainable place. If Climate Change is real and we do nothing - we are dead or at least very miserable.If Climate Change is real and we work to correct all our bad habits we might still be in trouble ... if it's too little and too late, but we'll go down fighting. If we succeed we live.An afterthought:Comments to this original post stated:* it isn't real/ it is made up/ a figment of our imagination. * There are no facts. The fact is we know nothing about it. Whether we are causing it or it is a phase the world goes through. It is just a theory. It will never be a fact. If these writers are right ... Wahoo!However, no case in the summary of potential future scenarios which is based on us sitting around doing nothing at all has a cheery outcome.
