Freon and similar gases like chlorofluorocarbons and halons have only a small influence on global warming. They are much more important for destroying ozone in the ozone layer. Most of these gases are no longer emitted into the atmosphere, but they have a life span of up to 70 years, so they are still damaging ozone. Scientists hope the ozone layer will have repaired itself by 2060.

What proof is there that humans are causing global warming?

They release gases into the atmosphere that destroys the ozone layer (which protect us from the direct sun rays) and causes global warming.


What proof is there that global warming is nor happening?

The same proof that it is-none. We will know in about 500 years


What can business and business leaders do about global warming?

Nothing as it is a myth that it is man made. No proof whatsoever, just computer models that are manipulated.


Is global warming with us?

There is scientific proof that global warming is happening in the world in 2014. One factor is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Another is deforestation.


How do flying machines cause a possible increase global warming?

Global warming has been disproved. The natural increase or decrease of supposed 'greenhouse gases' makes the human change negligible, and there is no proof to support that greenhouse gas' is a legitimate term, as they may be relatively harmless.


Why does too much burning of fuel causes air pollution?

Because burning fuel (coal, oil, gasoline, petroleum, diesel and natural gas etc) releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, which is overloading the carbon cycle and causing global warming. That answer is only partially correct. Yes, burning excessive fuel does cause air pollution but there is little proof scientifically that it has caused "global warming" alone in of itself.


What is one contemporary example of an issue where scientists stand on one side and various groups stand in opposition?

A contemporary example of an issue where scientist stand on one side and different groups stand in opposition is global warming. Many people claim that global warming does not even exist but most scientist have proof that it does exist.


What proof is there for global warming being a lie?

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.


Is global warming a religion?

A religion entails belief in a supernatural controlling power, especially a God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. There are those who with excessive zeal promote action to stop global warming, as well as those who, again with excessive zeal, deny its reality or our ability to do anything about it. However, excessive zeal on either side does not constitute religion. ________________________________ Sometimes it seems so. Any religion is based on unprovable beliefs, and religious people have faith that their beliefs are true. "Faith" implies a lack of PROOF; if you had proof, you wouldn't need faith. Further, most religions differentiate between good actions, and "sin" - where "sin" is described as "evil actions". Many of the claims of global warming lack any real scientific basis, and most do require an element of faith - belief without proof - by their supporters. People who do not accept the claims of "global warming" are frequently denounced as "evil", and as "environmental sinners". Given that "sin" cannot exist without a religious belief, many global warming advocates do act in distinctly "religious" ways. The writings of any religion are not subject to question or scrutiny by the faithful, and this is certainly the case with the canons of global warming. Any attempt to verify the claims, to examine the fundamental data, or to question the proclamations of the priests are strenuously opposed.


Has global warming been proven?

It depends on who you listen to, and what standards of "proof" you have. I say this because, like many other controversial issues, there will be people who insist that global warming is FACT! But there are also people on the other side who insist that it ABSOLUTELY CANNOT EXIST! No, global warming has not been proven, as you would prove the existence of gravity or other laws of nature. But neither has it been disproven, at least not definitively. It is a theory, no more, and no less, like the Big Bang theory, or postulates some of us learned in math class. Very little scientific research ever reaches the point of 'proof'. Thus, we have the Theory of Gravity', the Theory of Relativity' and so on. In each case, as with global warming, scientists simply reach a consensus on what is considered almost certain, and then allow future scientists to expand on, amend or, occasionally, replace the theory. Australia's Chief Scientist, Ian Chubb, says that science is not always perfect and interpretations are not always unanimously agreed, but good science will increase probability through the weight of evidence from "possible" to " beyond reasonable doubt". He says that this is the position now with global warming.

Do most scientists agree that there is conclusive evidence that carbon dioxide drives climate?

Yes, 97% of peer-reviewed climate scientists agree that there is conclusive proof that carbon dioxide is causing global warming, which is driving climate change.
