What are some "startling" facts about global warming?

Global warming facts?

  • Please help, I need 5 fact on why global warming may be true. and don't start complaining on how you think global warming isn't true. Please, all i need are some facts, or a good website because i can't really seem to find a good one. (don't say wikipedia, i went there, way to much info)

  • Answer:

    Global warming may be true because: 1. It has been warmer before; 1000AD was warmer than we are now; 55 Million years ago the water temperature at the North Pole was estimated to be more than 70 degrees. We could be naturally warming up again. 2. It has been much cooler before; 40,000 years ago, ice covered much of North America. We could be recovering from the last ice age. 3. The ice caps on Mars are melting at a very fast rate; If it's warmer there, it may be warmer here too. 4. The warmest decade of the 20th century was the 1940s; This was prior to the massive industrialization of the American, European and Asian economies. It had cooled so much by the 70s that some scientists of the time were very concerned about global cooling! 5. Warming and cooling cycles have been part of the earth's climate for hundreds of millions of years. We may be simply in the warming part of the cycle. As a reference below, please note a link to some facts and some 19000+ scientists signed on in agreement. good luck!

The basic data are these: CO2 levels in the atmosphere have increased about ten percent over the last forty years, in an amount which is compatible with human activity. Glaciers have retreated, suggesting temperature increase, although the actual measured temperature changes are small. The speculation is that the CO2 change is the cause of global warming. This may be true, or not; it could be that warming (due to other causes, such as a change in solar activity) is the cause of, not caused by, CO2 increase. Also, the CO2 theorists have ignored the substantial contributions that water vapor makes to the greenhouse effect, and also the interaction between the air and the ocean (which contains fifty times as much CO2 as the air does).

www.climatecrisis.net This is the website for An Inconvient Truth by Al Gore. It talks about some of the facts about global warming. Some of the evidence includes glacial melting and increasingly erratic weather (i.e. hurricanes).

Well, I only wear two vests these days - any good?

Well it's a fact that there is a particularly hot summer this year in Europe and that global temperatures at warming at an expotentially increasing rate. It is not a fact that there is any data confirming that this has any relationship to human activity, although their is a coiincidental correlation. There is also a correlation to the popularity of Elivis records, number of transistors in the world and world population. It is also a fact that similar warming periods appear to have occured more or less regularly throughout the planet's history, millions of years before we guys showed up. The most important fact about global warming is that it is a popular belief in Western countries and is a necessary component of any politicians public program. and for reference, so was the belief that the Earth was flat and that plagues were caused by Jews poisoning the wells.

extintions are occuring at a faster rate temperature are higher now than ever storms are fierer and higher in intensity droughts are occuring more severe animalsl ife cycles are out of whack

sounds like an assignment from an NEA supporting teacher.

Sounds like an answer from someone who refuses to believe what science has proven to be happening as we speak.
