Another Global Warming question?

Josefine Weekey: Global warming and cooling have been going on for over three billion years. Humans are helping to warm things up by sheer numbers alone and many bad habits. Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and much worse methane are to blame. They allow UV and sunlight through the atmosphere, but prevent infrared from being released from the earth's surface at night. Humans produce it and release it from underground natural storage containers....Show more

Rachell Meese: attacking the messengers is not changing the science.

Gerardo Greist: It must be co2 causing a warming trend, correct?that is the question.

Elmo Tervo: Tradable Permits Definition

Norine Lomonte: GW is caused by the earth's relationship to the sun, the output of the sun, and other cosmic effects like cosmic ray counts. AGW is political bullying and nonsense. CO2 is a FOLLOWING indicator, natural CO2 comprises 3% of the atmosphere, and human caused CO2 comprise 0.0037% o! f THAT. It is ridiculous to think an amount that small can do ANYTHING to the atmosphere....Show more

Frank Gazaway: Global warming (and cooling) is a never-ending cycle that has been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions more.

Tracy Huesso: The basic idea is... the government decides it wants to restrict some measurable activity, usually emissions of something. But the government doesn't care who does what emitting, just that no more than a certain amount of emitting is done total.So, it will issue permits for chunks of emissions (or whatever other activity), based on some formula or simply by auction. But the person or company to whom the permit is issued doesn't have to use it themselves. They can sell or give the permit to someone else, and then that other person or company can do that permit's worth of emitting....Show more

Karl Jantzen: Are these folks so clueless as to think that this is not contributing enormous amounts o! f their dreaded CO2??This is the sort of behavior that has mad! e the Catastrophic, Man-made, Global Warming crowd to be a laughing stock.And I'll bet that they aren't staying in $19.00 per night hotels and eating Ramen Noodles, either.Have they no shame?Any guess as to how much jet fuel this party is going to burn? When will these hypocritical antics be condemned and prosecuted??...Show more

Vita Moodie: It's a great party with tons of great food.

Carmina Stickney: It would be more accurate to call it Global Climate Change. Yes I believe in it.Global Warming, based on actual measured data, not computer models, stopped in 1998. The temperature was stable until 2002, and has been cooling ever since.This is what the earth does. It is a dynamic system and is always changing. The day that it stops changing is the day that we go extinct.There are alot of reasonable and reasoned theories about global warming (and a whole lot of straight up crazy theories about global warming). First, lets understand the CO2 levels are a resu! lt of global warming, not the cause of. As the oceans warm they release the dissolved CO2 they contain into the atmosphere. Thats why you will see a lag of anywhere from 20 to 89 years between the temperature increase and the CO2 levels.I think the best theory I have seen is about the Milankovitch Cycle. This cycle is primarily a 100,000 year cycle, with smaller 10,000 year and 1,500 year cycles. Warming an cooling are both caused by a number of different factors (none having anything to do with humans). Primary is the earths position in its orbit of the sun, also the angle of the earth to the sun, and the earths wobble as it orbits the sun.One thing that the AGW alarmists always fail to consider is; if mankind is causing global warming, and not the sun, why is it warming on Venus, Mars, and Neptune? Probably those Damn SUV's!!! LOL...Show more

Lulu Bukowiecki: GW is a major scam manipulated by the governments worldwide to provoke fear & panic attacks in societi! es, and to raise/create taxes to "control the problem". Many entities ! & persons are getting very rich with this money-making machine.To make things more painful for societies, the USA government manipulates weather by using the HAARP project.My 2 cents....Show more

Jeremy Donohue: GW- natural cycleAGW-UN trojan horse for global domination

Dick Ovdenk: I think Global Warming is a scam. Come on-the Polar bears are drowning? The babies are dying because the mothers are going too far SOUTH, and then the babies die in the summer waiting to get back across when they run out of food. And also, we are burning a hole in the atmosphere!!!! AHHH. I'm SOOO scared. I'm more afraid of getting a paper-cut! PHOOEY!!!! All those commercials in the movies before the feature presentation about Go Green are sooo annoying. They make me sick. What kind of world are we turning it into. We are brainwashing our kids with all this baloney!The earth goes in a cycle around the sun-every so years it gets closer, then every so years it gets farther away, then ! every so years it gets closer. I've done my research!A few years ago in about 1995-everyone thought there was going to be another ice-age!I totally don't agree with John Bullock, or whatever. That's americas problem, all it's citizens hate it! Whatever Mr. Once Again The US Screws Us All!I am a true American, therefore I love america! Yeah, we've made our mistakes, but I am still loyal to my country!Also, what do you think all the volcanoes are doing to our atmosphere? That, as I call it, is mother nature, but I'm sure as you would say, that's the presidents fault. LOL...Show more

Coy Tapley: Have you ever wondered why people don't debate what the speed of light is? This can pe measured and determined by almost anyone.However this isn't the way "global warming" is determined. "Global warming" is determined by the number of scientists who vote on if they believe the data. This is subjective science, subjective on what they believe.If you have to believe something, t! hat's religion and better discussed my the mystics. Real science is ob! jective and determined by the math....Show more

Dorinda Metzer: their total emmisions is less than one coal power plant. get real.

Lionel Tanen: Yes I do. And while everyone is blaming cars as the primary cause I believe its being caused mostly by Jets flying at 25K-55-K feet burning jet fuel. Look at all the thousands of Jets flying at a high altitude everyday where the exhaust is instantly affecting the atmosphere. I think its not only the engine that is causing the problem either. Its also being effected by solar activity which also effects the atmosphere...Show more

Johnny Sirko: The global warming crowd is not a laughingstock. I have no clue where you got that notion. The people who deny climate change are the ones known universally as clowns.Nevertheless, I don't disagree with your overall point. And I see no reason for tens of thousands of people to attend a convention about an easily accessible subject when a large number of them won't actively do ! anything to stop global warming....Show more

Evelin Turlich: Basically Carbon Credits. For example, I have a company named 'XYZ' and you own a company 'ABC'. We are both are licensed to emit 100 tons of pollutants to do reasonable manufacturing. Now my company cleans up the air and goes down to 10 tons. So I can sell your company, ABC, 90 tons of Tradable Permits....Show more

Reginald Maxi: And who, exactly is saying that we should not fly at all?We need to use less hydrocarbons, but only anti-pipeline advocates and anti-nuclear advocates need to use zero, until alternatives are online.

Cyndy Grimes: Because I'm sure they will have really good food and drink --- and great entertainment too. And of course it's FREE for them. Me and you and the rest of the taxpayers are picking up the tab, just like we've been doing for the last 30 years of this SCAM.-----------------------

Donovan Stallons: Marvin the Martian would tend to disagree.Now that solar max ! is about done for this solar cycle, Marvin is slowly getting his pole b! ack.

Jodie Capella: Clearly the Sun does nothing to warm the planet. That would be breaking Myth #4.http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global-warming-m...Only man made co2 causes the planet to warm up. This is the reason why Mars is so cold. They have co2, but it's not man made....Show more

Rosella Figliola: Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations"[1] via the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with ! volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.[2][3]These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least thirty scientific societies and academies of science,[4] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.[5][6][7] While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with some findings of the IPCC,[8] the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.[9][10]Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.[1] The range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to con! tinue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are ! stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.[1]Increasing global temperature will cause sea level to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences....Show more

Sammy Kar: I tired finding a definition bu! t i don't really understand it........

Lyndon Mattas: I think everyone forgets the 250+ atmospheric nuclear tests the American govt undertook between 1950-1990.I'm sure letting off 250 bombs hundreds of times more powerful than Hirshima is not entirely harmless to the atmosphere.Once again- the US screws us all....Show more

Denna Prudente: I think global warming is just the earth going through another phase of it's existence. Right now the human race is most dominant. If the world does flood, we'll either have adapted by then, or we will all die and another species will take over.

Arleen Bussing: " will these hypocritical antics be condemned and prosecuted??" of course not they have all the media backing them saying how important it all is, how it is vital to Earth survival and other nonsense.However wouldn't you jump at a chance to have a paid holiday in Lima (I would) I am sure they are trying to work out how to fit in a few more climate conventions, it! doesn't matter if they don't achieve anything it is fun jetsetting aro! und the world....Show more
