How does the petroleum industry contribute to global warming?
Any industry that runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming. The petroleum industry does this.As well, it also provides the fossil fuel (petroleum) for the transport industry, which is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions.Any industry that runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming.

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.
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.
Do the experts exaggerate global warming?
No. The risk is that by trying to hard too avoid criticism, scientific experts are failing in their duty to inform us fully of the facts and potential consequences of global warming. It is really because of the debate generated by non-experts who would deny some of the consequences of global warming, that some gain the impression that the 'middle ground' is in the middle - hence that the experts must be in some way exaggerating. A: It could be that those scientists are prostituting their professional integrity to continue receiving funding from proponents of a One World Government that hopes to gain political control by manufacturing the global warming crisis. Thirty years ago, the same groups were warning us of the coming ice age.
What recommendations would you make to local officials regarding the types of resources that could be used to generate electricity?
I would strongly recommend the use of a suitable renewable energy source (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, or biofuel), depending on the local conditions. Any other method of generating electricity is likely to be from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which, as everyone knows, is the chief cause of global warming and climate change.
How serious could the Global Warming problem become in your future?
Global warming is already a serious problem. If it continues to warm then there is a real threat to life on this planet. The Chief Scientist in Britain, when asked what were the chances of the human race surviving till 2100, replied, "50:50!"
How does global warming affect mortality?
Global warming is changing the habitats of many animals, including humans'. Those who can't adapt to the new environment have to move or perish. Britain's chief scientist was asked what were the chances for the human race by the year 2100. He replied, "Fifty-fifty!"
Why doesn't air pollution cause global warming?
There are many kinds of air pollution, ranging from cigarette smoke to sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain. They don't all contribute to global warming. However, one does. The chief pollutant affecting global warming is Carbon dioxide (CO2).In 2007 the United States Supreme Court ruled that Carbon dioxide is a pollutant and so the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has the right to regulate CO2 emissions from new cars. Any burning of fossil fuels like gasoline releases long-hidden carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This extra gas is too much for the natural carbon cycle to remove from the atmosphere, so it remains there capturing the sun's heat and causing global warming.
What scientists think there is no global warming?
It is hard to find any research scientist working in the fields of atmospheric science or climate who actually believes there has not been a rise in average global temperatures since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Richard Lindzen, a professor of Atmospheric Science but widely regarded as a contrarian, agreed that global warming is occurring and could be caused by increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels but believed that scientists were not in a position to prove the connection. Garth Paltridge, retired Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO Division of Atmospheric Research, agreed that there are good reasons to believe that burning fossil fuels could lead to global warming, but was uncertain as to how significant this would be. Richard Muller, a Physics Professor and longtime critic of climate studies, set out to address what he called "the legitimate concerns" of sceptics who believe global warming is exaggerated. But 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." It appears that Muller no longer believes that global warming is not real.

What is the chief greenhouse gas that results from human activity?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the chief greenhouse gas resulting from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Its high levels in the atmosphere contribute significantly to global warming and climate change.
