its a scientific fact emphasized by the government to disturb the daily goings on and cause panic and reason to increase tax on petrol and introduce new ways of cutting down on energy usage (cuz were running out) by lowering things such as heat of washing machine for example.
Climate change has and will happen, How do you think we went in and out of an ice age? why do you think there is still parts of the ice still left over? CLIMATE CHANGE ISNT OVERNIGHT! And for those saying once these ice sheets melt we'll flood... Take a simple square cubic meter of ice and place it in a meter and a half square cubic meter of water and place the ice in it.. What happens? the water rises... as ice is.. yes you guessed it.. A SOLID which means its at a higher density than water.. same example with a bath. You get into a full bath what happens? the water rises significantly..

I don't believe in Global Warming. If you look at the Earths history, the climate is actually colder than it used to be. Look at Antarctica, they believe that there was once a rainforest. Late last year they found ancient turtle bones in Antarctica.. so I don't think it was always as cold as it is now? The ice sheets/caps haven't always existed either. We're currently either still coming out of an Ice age or we're currently in the interglacial period.. both which means the Earth warms up. The Earth has been a lot warmer than it is now, it's just a cycle of the Earth.
It's happened in the past.

Global warming is a conspiracy to embed fear into the general population and generate profits to line the pockets of officials and governments.
Climate change is real, global warming is not - there is a significant difference.

Global Warming is real.. But the chances are of it being dangerous are actually null.
I'm pretty sure Al Gore chose to make the general public aware of that it's there, but so they can try and promote more alternatives.. Like greener energy.
Some links against it:
http://blog.mises.org/6700/global-wa...-full-version/
http://globalwarming.solveyourproble...-warming.shtml
I actually had a 20+ page print out (From a website) providing substantial evidence in disproving global warming.. Can't find it now.
Look up for global warming and against it then decide on an opinion.
Another interesting read and a quote:

That's all from me, may post again on this topic. May not."Expect global cooling for the next two to three decades that will be far more damaging than global warming would have been," says Don Easterbrook, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Geology, Western Washington University. Easterbrook points out that 30-year cooling trends in the past including 1945-1977, 1880-1915 and 1790-1820 are similar to trends that the earth could face in the next 30 years.

You haven't actually given you'r view on the topic. Your actual opening statement is incorrect as global warming isn't real, infact, the earths been cooling for the past decade and the only impact man could of had on the earth climate change has been the last 20 years, and for 15 of those years it has seen a decrease in temperature.

Man does have an impact on climate change. While Climate change is natural it is being rapidly increased by human interaction. Originally Posted by The Don

Ice is at a higher density than water therefore when it melts the levels will decrease. Climate change is a natural occurence (ice age, stone age, dark age) all from what i have no doubt are natural occurences, not some arrogant species thinking their few decades can destroy the earth

If man did impact it, the climate would have increased in tempreature, yet it's actually been decreasing over the past decade. Man doesn't have an impact on it Originally Posted by Saracen

I've had quite a few lectures on climate change as a natural and human induced process. The earth's climate has fluctuated in and out of ice ages many times and at present, the average global temp is actually 1 degree cooler than it was during the time of William the Conqueror. It is hyped up beyond belief but we should be changing our environmental attitudes anyway. The earth cannot sustain and support the increasing population of people and non-renewable energy resources will not last forever.
In my eyes, there is no doubt that humans are responsible. Although, there has been a gradual rise in CO2 for the past few thousand years.
Btw, part of the reason it isn't referred to as global warming anymore is partly due to the fact that one potential concequence of melting ice caps = more freshwater entering the oceans = decreased salinity of the water = different density = a potential change in the thermohaline conveyor (which brings warm air to the British isles, and prevents us from experiencing cold like other places on the same latitude as us).
@above temperature is always going to fluctuate year on year regardless of climate change. The climate can also take decades to respond to changes within the atmosphere.Last edited by JackBuddy; 06-02-2011 at 02:23 AM.
