One person can't be the cause of global warming. Everyone that rides in a car, uses electricity, etc is in some way responsible. Unnatural global warming has been happening for the last century or so.

This global warming cycle started 6000 years ago. Total warming has been about 11 degrees C. The last cooling period was in the 1850's (known as the mini ice age). Since then man has measured 0.2 to 0.4 degrees warming. This warming was predicted in the early 1900's by Milankovich based on our non elliptical orbit. The concept of man adding ghg's to our environment requires that we are adding actual wattage on a consistent basis. Current claims are that we have added 1.3 watts per meter squared. If this is the case, we would have to be seeing a consistent warming affect. Whaqt we see are natural cycles that have not varied in 650K years. Warming cycle? Yes Man made? We do not know, but the current science doesn't prove it and most science experts will not commit either way. The big grant money is currently on trying to prove man does have something to do with it.

No warming has been seen since 1998, over a decade ago.

Is global warming junk science?

At present it would be very difficult to answer this question as a yes or no answer. However the science used to prove global warming either way is more geared to proving a politicians point than actually addressing whether a problem exists. Any freak weather can now be blamed on poor science and win votes for politicians doing the job of a scientist. You only have to quote the use of the Kyoto protocol to really see whats happening, the use of 1990 best estimate figures based on 2008 life is a joke! We do not understand IF climate change exists, IF its man made or IF its mearly a natural thing. We are being told Al Gore knows the answers when clearly a simple google search would tell you different.


What US president tried to start a system of measurement similar to the metric system?

A planned ten-year conversion to the metric system was announced in 1975, while Gerald R. Ford was President, but was not mandated. Americans were resistant to "going metric", and the plan was abandoned by the early 1980s.


What president determined that it was necessary to change the Federal approach to disasters and develop a professional method for managing major disasters and emergencies?

President Jimmy Carter recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to disaster management following a series of significant disasters during the 1970s. In 1979, he established the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which aimed to create a coordinated federal response to major disasters and emergencies. This initiative marked a shift towards a more organized and professional method of managing disaster relief and recovery efforts.


Why did they start the department of energy?

Many federal agencies have been established to handle various aspects of U.S. energy policy, dating back to the creation of the Manhattan Project and the subsequent Atomic Energy Commission. The impetus for putting them all under the auspices of a single department was the 1973 energy crisis, in response to which President Jimmy Carter proposed creation of the Department of Energy (DOE). The enabling legislation was passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Carter on August 4, 1977. The department began operations on October 1, 1977.


Is the panama canal zone part of the us?

It was part of the U. S. In fact, a major-party U. S. Presidential nominee was born there (John McCain). However, President Jimmy Carter signed an agreement in 1979 to return the zone to Panama in 1999.
