Best Answer

No. The earth has warmed before, and cooled. Many scientists say we are going through a cooling phase now. The alarmists that wish to see us close down all coal plants that produce energy, and would like to see you drive electric cars would agree with it, but most people do not believe in manmade global warming.

A:

Yes, I believe that the vast majority of climate scientists know what they have spent years studying, that is, that global warming is happening, and it is being caused by human activity, namely, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas.

Are you for or against global warming?

Most scientists and scientific organizations round the world agree that global warming is happening. A few scientists disagree.


What is the scientific consensus on the causes and consequences of climate change?

Scientists agree that the cause of climate change is global warming, and that global warming is caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, caused byThe burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide.DeforestationCattle rearing and Poor agricultural practices which add methane.


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.


Do you agree the human activities are the reason of global warming?

Yes, human activities are substantially the reason for global warming. I have looked at the scientific evidence. I can see that official records show a rise in average global temperatures since the beginning of the Industrial Age, and that the rise has accelerated since the late 1970s, coinciding with expanded industrial activity. I have followed the scientific debate that confirms the reliability of the official readings, and find this evidence far more reliable than the non-expert claims that global warming is not happening or that it is not of recent origin. I understand the science that says that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide can cause global warming. I have examined summaries of the evidence that shows that most of the quite substantial increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide must come from the burning of fossil fuels, and therefore from human activities. I therefore believe that I know we humans are causing global warming.


Who is one scientist that claims that man is not the cause of global warming?

Yes, 97% of peer-reviewed climate scientists agree that global warming is being caused by human activity. This is the message of Al Gore, and many others. The name of one real scientist who believes this is Dr James Hansen, Head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, in New York. He is also a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Studies at Columbia University.

Do all scientists agree that global warming is being caused by human activity?

No.


Who thinks global warming is caused by us humans?

The vast majority of published, peer-reviewed climate scientists agree that global warming is caused by human activity, particularly deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.


How Many scientists don't believe in global warming?

Not many. Most (97% of) climate scientists agree that the earth is warming and that humans are causing global warming by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.


What is man's role in global warming?

Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.


What aspect of the global warming debate is there still a dispute remaining among scientists?

There is no dispute among reputable climate scientists. Just about all of them agree that global warming is happening, and it is being caused by human activity.


How is global warming not caused by human activity?

The current evidence seems to support that the effects of the industrial revolution have caused the natural process to speed up dramatically. There is no way to stop global warming, but we can find ways to slow its current process.


Is Global warming wrong?

No, 97% of scientists agree the earth is warming due to human means.

Do all scientists think global warming is happening?

Every scientist agrees that local warming is happening. The vast majority of them (97%) agree that it is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.


Is global warming a real phenomenon caused by human activities or is it contrived?

Global warming is a real phenomenon. The vast majority of climate scientists and National Science bodies around the world agree that human activity is causing the planet to warm. Only a small number are unsure.


Is it possible that global warming is caused by the Earth's orbit being closer to the Sun or by Sun spikes?

No. There is a correlation with various orbital variances, the gradual increase in the Sun's power output with time, and sun spot cycles. However, just about all climate scientists agree that global warming is caused by human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
