Global Warming

Jennifer V asked:


I am doing a project @ school, and we have to do a presentation about how global warming effects different types of people. Such as how it effects teens, children, adults, homeless people, and so on. Does anyone have any ideas. Would be greatly appriciated.

The climate has changed for billions of years.
It’s been much hotter and much colder.
The temperature has gone up and down slower and faster.
There has been much more and much less CO2 in the atmosphere.
The CO2 has increased and decreased at slower and faster rates as well before humans exsisted.
Also other planets in the solar system are changing at the same rate as earth.

Why is it any different now?

How can this be attributed to humans when this has all happend even before Humans were here?

It seems that the so called environ”MENTAL” crowd should be behind global warming, if it’s going to be as bad as they say. All of the catastrophy that they claim will happen
will only result in a reduction of population, a key component in there argument to stop global warming.

And if the debate is over, do the proponents of global warming/Climate change, understand they have lost?
So the whats normal change?
The Younger Dryas even changed by 10 to 18 degrees in approximately 10 years and then changed back.
But mankind couldn’t have had any effect at the time.
And patrick is right, scientists know nothing about Climate change so how can it be said the debate is over?

The last Ice age end 18,000 years ago at which point global warming began. This is before human civilization. So man didn’t start global warming but is contributing to the situation. I find that the warming rate is still a point of discussion but the total is around 2 degrees F every ten years. What part of the 2 deg F is caused by human civilization?
Leon – You need to do some reading and get the facts. The ice started melting before man built a city.
Larry B - “Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
So we are talking about .2 - 1.1 deg F over 10 years from your source, but I have seen some at 2.5 deg F per 10 years.
Jeff P – What part of you speech is the answer to the question?
Hypofocus – I’m asking a question in order to make informed decisions. I’m not one of the sheep just getting in line!
Bob – Thanks for the graph, it paints a good picture.

I don’t believe in global warming myself, but I was just wondering what steps countries are taking to actually do something about what they believe with this issue. Are there actually any plans on how they’ll ’stop’ global warming? Also, could someone tell me a bit about the Kyoto thing?

I think it should becasue that is all that global warming is. It is not casued by man at all. It is only a libearl plot to raise taxes.

joe c asked:


For instance, global warming will cause the ice glaciers to melt and cause a rise in sea level, thus partial flooding of coastal areas will occur. Now knowing that this might be a possible cause, how will this impact real estate?
Knowing this, how will it impact the economy and the market.

For my speech class, I’m doing a persuasive speech and my topic is persuading people that global warming is fake. Whether it’s real or not, what are some arguments for saying that global warming isn’t real?

Please no rants about how global warming is real or anything. This is for school and doesn’t necessarily reflect my personal views on the matter.

aap1970 asked:


I haven’t been able to find any credible sources on the history of the polar ice caps. But, I have heard that the polar ice caps have been free of ice many times in the history of the plant. Is this true? If this is true is this big global warming issue a little over blown because this would be just a natural cycle of the earth. If this has happend before, melting of the polar caps, what has happend in the past?
