Why does the APC say that it is impossible to predict that something like global warming can happen so long from now?

The American Policy Center (APC) say this because they are global warming skeptics. They believe that global warming is not happening.


How does global warming cause long-term changes in the global temperature?

Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.


Are tornadoes decreasing due to global warming?

Currently scientists are uncertain as to how global warming would affect tornadoes. This is further complicated by a lack of complete, long-term tornado records. So far no substantial link has been discovered.


Is anybody to blame for this situation of global warming?

The human race is to blame, though we didn't know what we were doing! Respected climate scientists say that the world is warmer than it has been for at least eight thousand years and probably for at least a million years. Average global temperatures have been rising faster than at any known time in the past. Clearly there is a problem, but this does not mean we should blame anyone for the problem occurring. From the time of the Industrial Revolution until at least the 1970s, scientists had too little information to prove that global warming is real, and no one could really be blamed for causing global warming if they did not know that anthropogenic global warming was happening. Blame should only be attributed if, now that we have evidence of global warming, we fail to do anything about it. Fortunately, governments around the world, and concerned citizens, are now beginning to take action to minimise further long-term temperature rises.

How long has global warming taken place?

Since the industrial revolution from about 1800 man has been releasing enormous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causing the green-house effect and leading to global warming. The process has accelerated as the population of the Earth grows and more countries get industrialised.
