have some scientist disagree with global warming, or other individuals

Answer:
Anthropogenic Warming (A.W.)is not established to the extent many think. A consensus is not a substitute for a proven event. The probabilistic modeling used to predict climate changes are scenarios and only as good as the parameters & defined variables in the model. Case in point: The Sun, pro A.W. camp claims to have accounted for Sun's effect by measuring Radiant Output. They totally exclude on these models, the strength of the Sun's Magnetic Field which impacts on the ability of cosmic rays interacting with the Earth's atmosphere & the resulting generation of clouds in the atmosphere. Antarctic ice core studies, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals between 1999 and 2006. The ice core data allowed researchers to examine multiple climate changes reaching back over the past 650,000 years. All six studies found atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations tracking closely with temperatures, but with CO2 lagging behind changes in temperature, rather than leading them. The time lag between temperatures moving up—or down—and carbon dioxide following ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand years a) The ice core record shows that temperature leads CO2 by 800 years on avg. therefore CO2 is affected by temperature not the other way around. b) Observations by satelite and weather balloons do not provide validation of the theory of AGW. c) There is a strong correlation between sun spot numbers and temperature. d) Water vapor not CO2 is the dominant green house gas driving heating (AW) and the CO2 contribution to AW is insignificant in comparison.

i think its just differening opinions with folks trying to predict the earths future. I remember in grade school, 30 years ago they were shouting about global warming then as well. Back then, they were saying how in 30 yrs the ozone would be gone and we would be toast etc.....Everyone stopped using aerosol cans and stuff to help prevent it. I dunno if it helped or not, but we are not toast as predicted. I think the earth goes in different cycles and constantly repairs its self. I am sure that in another 30 years, they will still be arguing about it.

One, there is no scientific consensus that humans are causing global warming. The link below proves that. Two, the earth has warmed in the recent past. As glaciers recede, they reveal human artifacts which indicate human activity. This proves that the glaciers have receded before.

Yes, I have. The earth has been naturally heating and cooling itself for millions of years. But now with theese hippies yelling " wear straw hats, recycle, save the enviorment" they started the biggest elaberate hoax of all time! Good job hippies, or what do you call yourselves, oh right. "Enviormentalists".

No educated person will make the claim that global warming is a myth. What people dispute is the question does increases in co2 cause temperatures to rise? and if so, by how much? There is also the belief that it is not humans but the sun that contributed to the earth's warming. Scientists long held this belief and would measure the sunspot activity going back centuries. Sunspot activity strongly correlates with levels of Carbon 14 and Berrylium 10 isotopes found in tree rings and ice cores. Therefore, accurate, long term reconstructions of sunspot activity can be made with low margins of error. The reconstructions of sunspot activity correlate strongly with almost every reconstruction of global temperature. A recent paper by Dr. Jan Veizer of Ottawa, Canada, based on dozens of studies and his own research of 40 years, concluded that solar activity has been the “climate driver” for billions of years. While the climate can be affected by the many factors , it is the sun and its effects that have caused changes in climate for 4 billion years. Dr Veizer first set out to prove that CO2 was historically what caused changes in climate, but noted, “Personally, this last decade has been a trying period because of the years of internal struggle between what I wanted to believe and where the empirical record and its logic were leading me.” Do you think this person arrived at his conclusion from some blog? He arrived at his conclusion because he found there is a better correlation between sun spot activity and temperatures than co2 and temperatures. This is from his own work and scientific journals. More info here: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Reference_Docs/The_Geologic_Record_and_Climate_Change.pdf Take the basic premise that increases in co2 will increase temperature. From the start of this century co2 levels were increasing slowly and then started to shoot up during the late 50's. So according to the theory, temperatures should have risen at a slow and constant rate until 1960 and at a faster rate after that. In reality temperatures started to increase at around 1910 and rose steadily until 1940. It then fell until 1975. It rose until 1998 and has been constant ever since. According to the co2 theory temperatures should not have risen as fast during the early part of the century and they should not have fallen for three decades during the mid century. The sun spot theory correlates better up until 1960. Then temperatures kept falling but sun spot activity kept rising. But during the same period of time there were strong La Nina (cold water ocean currents) events that kept temperatures low, after the La nina events subsided temperatures started to rise again to match the sun spot cycle. This theory has its critics. The evidence is empirical (cause and effect). There are still a lot of questions to be answered. But global warming theorists claim that the correlation is irrelevant. And since all questions cannot be answered it is untrue. But that is the nature of science. Scientists are by nature sceptical. You do not prove a theory. You put it out and others attack it, and if it withstands scrutiny the theory becomes accepted. But you have to wonder. In 1988 Newsweek published an article on global warming saying all scientists agree. That was before the study of climate change even began. And when scientists started to question the theory, they were immediately attacked and their motives were questioned. Just the notion of unanimity is outrageous. To say with certainty that co2 causes temperature increases you have to answer questions like what are the effects of the sun, the oceans (they do not even know what causes, el ninos and la ninas), how much co2 do humans produce. Global warming theorists say that the cooling in the mid century was due to sulphates, which act as a cooling agent. Then you have to produce studies that prove sulphates acts as a cooling agent. Temperatures have fluctuated through out earth's history, what caused those to fluctuate. So to believe the notion of unanimity is to believe that all of these questions and many, many , many more were answered in a few years. The reason why they are claiming unanimity is because they do not want you to question the anomalies like the mid century drop in temperatures. After all who are you and I to question the consensus of scientists. If they say it is true it must be true. But I can assure you, scientists are questioning the science, and you should be also. How about the United Nations that say co2 causes global warming. The decisions are more political bases than scientific. More info here: http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/promet... http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa... http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/story... Finally if you want more info, here is a good lecture. It is by a climatologist who says flat out, here is a biased opinion to counter act the biased opinions in the media so you can make up your own mind. In the past when I have just recommended this link, with no comments what so ever, people have given me the thumbs down. Apparently they think people are stupid enough that they can not make up their own minds. http://www.fcpp.org/main/media_file_wm.p...

i am pretty sure that thier are plenty of scientists that are disagreeing on the affects and consequences of global warming, cuz if they were agreeing we would be doing something constructive to prevent it! i am not sure what are they actual arguments but we need to figure it out and fast!!!
Cutie Pie
some scientist are the cause of it

A great movie for you would be: "The Great Global Warming Swindle" its a documentary put together by many scientists that disagree that man is causing global warming you can find this movie on youtube or google video

the main disagreements are as to who or what is responsible some flatt earthers still believe that nothing is wrong ,but they are becoming less,they will also be convinced when the price of food and beer hit the roof because of third world problems in food production and Global potable water shortage as for the rest of us ,can we do somethin about it ,I dont think so but we can behave more responsibly in out behaviour towards the Environment ,maybe we can buy some time are We responsible ? or is it God who wants to punish? or is it Gaia who wants to clean some parasitic infestation? who cares ? that is not important any more WHAT IS -is that we are gonna be in trouble The Earth has many problems because of man this is undeniable ,how much we are responsible for Global warming is debateble ,But there is a definate change in Global temperatures that is affecting nature in a bad way. this text only covers some aspects of Climate change ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification water and air polution such as caused by industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories, and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions there are natural cycles in the planets life but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms climate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result, And now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature , vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain 90% of the feral (wild) bee population in the United States has died out. In the Netherlands bee diversity is down 80 percent in the sites researched, and "bee species are declining or have become extinct in Britain." wildflowers that depend on pollination have dropped by 70 percent we are witness to a mass exstinction ,for the first time since the dinosaurs, of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct. everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor things any more. ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were few desserts. collectively this planet is drying up , each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production , and there are less and less farmers to do it.. Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities. Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms. This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people. The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil. Over the last half century, Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. . RISING SEAS The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times. this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter Global warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to help http://www.eco-gaia.net/forum-pt/index.p... http://www.greenpeace.org/international/... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/natur...
