What do YOU know about Global-Warming?


Zouka

Recommended Posts

Absolute bull****.

 

 

 

Question three asks:

 

 

 

The main cause of the modern warming trend is most likely to be:

 

 

 

1) Pollution from factories and automobiles

 

2) Orbital eccentricities of Earth and variations in the Sun's output

 

3) The Greenhouse Effect

 

 

 

The "correct" answer was 2. I can say that this is wrong.

 

 

 

Here's an image of sun output over the last 30-odd years:

I completely understand that everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I just want to make it clear that the "facts" that test is based on are simply not true. Even if you don't believe global warming is a real problem, that's NOT the evidence you should not believe it based on. If you look at ANY of the scientific resources out there, that's simply fabricated evidence.

Which facts do you believe are not true in this test?

 

(Just tell me which number question or link me to the page in question, thanks).

I'd like to see ANY CREDIBLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to support three, four, and six.

 

 

 

Seven isn't really true either, because you can't just say that because trees use carbon dioxide, more CO2 must be good.

 

 

 

I laughed my [wagon] off at eight, because their only "proof" that there isn't a consensus among scientists is that a bunch of people who aren't scientists think it's a problem. They don't really cite any evidence that scientists think differently.

 

 

 

Overall, they just mixed a bunch of misrepresented facts with total untruths and called it "the truth".

 

 

 

Oh, and about that "The Great Global Warming Swindle" movie: Google won't host it FOR A REASON. It's total baloney. Although wikipedia isn't by any means the world's most reliable source of facts, in this case they've put together a great page which CAN BE VERIFIED ELSEWHERE.

 

Reactions from Scientists to The Great Global Warming Swindle

 

I found this one particularly notable:

Carl Wunsch, professor of Physical Oceanography at MIT, was originally featured in the programme. Afterwards he said that he was "completely misrepresented" in the film and had been "totally misled" when he agreed to be interviewed.[23][5] He called the film "grossly distorted" and "as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two."[24]

 

 

 

Basically, you can make anything seem true if you only use little bits of facts to paint a misleading picture. I'd encourage everyone to look at the actual credible scientific studies that have been done. With the exception of those that are funded by oil companies/political think tanks/etc, you'll find almost no scientists disagree with the assertion that humans are causing global warming, and that it's a major problem.

I'm not gonna post a whole paragraph of my ideas, since this thread is probably gonna die and another 5 ones are gonna come up.

 

 

 

 

 

However, if people say humans combust so much CO2, how much CO2 is actually in the atmosphere, eh? THere are billions of trees and leaves and grasses and they all absorb CO2. As I said before, it's just a damn cycle, get over it and enjoy warmer nights and less snow ruining your house.

I find the bold so profoundly true and the italics, bar any serious research on my part, a generally true trend.

What, you mean on Google Video? Do a search. It's been there, in eight parts, for like a year.

 

 

 

As for this debate, I think everyone stopped caring about two months after it popped up. Yes, our care cups are full, these debate NEVER go anywhere. EVER.

 

 

 

The sun did it. Whatever. I'm done.

Actually, I think you're right. I just searched and saw one of the parts there, so I assumed it was still there. Just clicked on it, and it's deleted.

 

 

 

I saw it a few months ago on Google Video, so I assumed it hadn't been deleted when I saw it in the search. Eh, my bad :-w .

Approximately 1,763,698,097,600,000 lbs, or 800 gigatons, whichever you prefer.

All I know is al gore invented it. <.<

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though I watched something a while ago that said we should act no matter what. The reason why is that the consequence that if we don't react and it happens is far far worse than what would happen if we plan for it but it never happens. (global catastrophe, disaster, ect. versus possibly bankrupcy of countries like the U.S).

1) I hate how people go on arguing if global warming is "true" or not. I'll leave that to the experts, who don't think in terms of black and white and are able to see the many sides to this issue.

 

 

 

2) Treating the earth with some respect should not be something up for discussion. Completely aside from global warming or not.

 

 

 

3) And no, I'm not a hippie. But once in a while, take off your shoes, walk through grass or in a wood instead of on concrete floors. It's divine.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Hahahahaha, wow, that was funny... Thanks for posting all that conservative propaganda.... That 'test' must have been written by a Bush flunky who doesn't belive in global warming.... Hahahahahaaaaa! It's 97 degree fahrenheit... at about 70-90 degrees north latitute in the 'States.... In the middle of October... Something is seriously [bleep]ed up with our planet. Please don't post any more 'scientific' crap, I'm about to die from laughter... Nothing like psuedo-scientific morons lieing to protect the oil industry, eh? :lol: :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

Eh, I'm probably gonna be shipped off to an undisclosed location for an undetermined period of time without a trial for being a 'terrorist' :roll: any day now.... :-# :o

There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

1. yeah, because no biased person has ever gone on to get a master's degree or higher in a field of science. :roll:

 

 

 

2. there is a difference between treating the earth with respect and completeley shutting down society as we know it, which is what seems to be the goal of so many eco-fascists these days.

 

 

 

3. as long as you aren't hugging trees we won't call you a hippie. :wink:

When we take a step to the better side, we don't need to step to the edge. We don't need to shut down our society or even think about any totally utopistic things like that. The problem is that people tend to think that we're now perfect and we can't advance without any real sacrifices.

And, yes, I realize a polar bear can drown... if, say, it's exhausted and swimming over 50 miles. But basically, these things can swim 15 miles easily, at a speed of 6 miles an hour, and they use the edge of an ice floe as a platform from which to hunt. Where's the photograph of the bear chomping down on a cute baby seal?

 

[hide= Apocalypse Now]

 

Floods, storms and droughts. Melting Arctic ice, shrinking glaciers, oceans turning to acid. The world's top scientists warned last week that dangerous climate change is taking place today, not the day after tomorrow. You don't believe it? Then, says Geoffrey Lean, read this...

 

 

 

by Geoffrey Lean

 

 

 

Future historians, looking back from a much hotter and less hospitable world, are likely to play special attention to the first few weeks of 2005. As they puzzle over how a whole generation could have sleepwalked into disaster - destroying the climate that has allowed human civilization to flourish over the past 11,000 years - they may well identify the past weeks as the time when the last alarms sounded.

 

 

 

Last week, 200 of the world's leading climate scientists - meeting at Tony Blair's request at the Met Office's new headquarters at Exeter - issued the most urgent warning to date that dangerous climate change is taking place, and that time is running out.

 

 

 

Next week the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty that tries to control global warming, comes into force after a seven-year delay. But it is clear that the protocol does not go nearly far enough.

 

 

 

The alarms have been going off since the beginning of one of the warmest Januaries on record. First, Dr Rajendra Pachauri - chairman of the official Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - told a UN conference in Mauritius that the pollution which causes global warming has reached "dangerous" levels.

 

 

 

Then the biggest-ever study of climate change, based at Oxford University, reported that it could prove to be twice as catastrophic as the IPCC's worst predictions. And an international task force - also reporting to Tony Blair, and co-chaired by his close ally, Stephen Byers - concluded that we could reach "the point of no return" in a decade.

 

 

 

Finally, the UK head of Shell, Lord Oxburgh, took time out - just before his company reported record profits mainly achieved by selling oil, one of the main causes of the problem - to warn that unless governments take urgent action there "will be a disaster".

 

 

 

But it was last week at the Met Office's futuristic glass headquarters, incongruously set in a dreary industrial estate on the outskirts of Exeter, that it all came together. The conference had been called by the Prime Minister to advise him on how to "avoid dangerous climate change". He needed help in persuading the world to prioritize the issue this year during Britain's presidencies of the EU and the G8 group of economic powers.

 

 

 

The conference opened with the Secretary of State for the Environment, Margaret Beckett, warning that "a significant impact" from global warming "is already inevitable". It continued with presentations from top scientists and economists from every continent. These showed that some dangerous climate change was already taking place and that catastrophic events once thought highly improbable were now seen as likely (see panel). Avoiding the worst was technically simple and economically cheap, they said, provided that governments could be persuaded to take immediate action.

 

 

 

About halfway through I realized that I had been here before. In the summer of 1986 the world's leading nuclear experts gathered in Vienna for an inquest into the accident at Chernobyl. The head of the Russian delegation showed a film shot from a helicopter, and we suddenly found ourselves gazing down on the red-hot exposed reactor core.

 

 

 

It was all, of course, much less dramatic at Exeter. But as paper followed learned paper, once again a group of world authorities were staring at a crisis they had devoted their lives to trying to avoid.

 

 

 

I am willing to bet there were few in the room who did not sense their children or grandchildren standing invisibly at their shoulders. The conference formally concluded that climate change was "already occurring" and that "in many cases the risks are more serious than previously thought". But the cautious scientific language scarcely does justice to the sense of the meeting.

 

 

 

We learned that glaciers are shrinking around the world. Arctic sea ice has lost almost half its thickness in recent decades. Natural disasters are increasing rapidly around the world. Those caused by the weather - such as droughts, storms, and floods - are rising three times faster than those - such as earthquakes - that are not.

 

 

 

We learned that bird populations in the North Sea collapsed last year, after the sand eels on which they feed left its warmer waters - and how the number of scientific papers recording changes in ecosystems due to global warming has escalated from 14 to more than a thousand in five years.

 

 

 

Worse, leading scientists warned of catastrophic changes that once they had dismissed as "improbable". The meeting was particularly alarmed by powerful evidence, first reported in The Independent on Sunday last July, that the oceans are slowly turning acid, threatening all marine life.

 

 

 

Professor Chris Rapley, director of the British Antarctic Survey, presented new evidence that the West Antarctic ice sheet is beginning to melt, threatening eventually to raise sea levels by 15ft: 90 per cent of the world's people live near current sea levels. Recalling that the IPCC's last report had called Antarctica "a slumbering giant", he said: "I would say that this is now an awakened giant."

 

 

 

Professor Mike Schlesinger, of the University of Illinois, reported that the shutdown of the Gulf Stream, once seen as a "low probability event", was now 45 per cent likely this century, and 70 per cent probable by 2200. If it comes sooner rather than later it will be catastrophic for Britain and northern Europe, giving us a climate like Labrador (which shares our latitude) even as the rest of the world heats up: if it comes later it could be beneficial, moderating the worst of the warming.

 

 

 

The experts at Exeter were virtually unanimous about the danger, mirroring the attitude of the climate science community as a whole: humanity is to blame. There were a few skeptics at Exeter, including Andrei Illarionov, an adviser to Russia's President Putin, who last year called the Kyoto Protocol "an interstate Auschwitz". But in truth it is much easier to find skeptics among media pundits in London or neo-cons in Washington than among climate scientists. Even the few contrarian climatalogists publish little research to support their views, concentrating on questioning the work of others.

 

 

 

Now a new scientific consensus is emerging - that the warming must be kept below an average increase of two degrees centigrade if catastrophe is to be avoided. This almost certainly involves keeping concentrations of carbon dioxide, the main cause of climate change, below 400 parts per million.

 

 

 

Unfortunately we are almost there, with concentrations exceeding 370ppm and rising, but experts at the conference concluded that we could go briefly above the danger level so long as we brought it down rapidly afterwards. They added that this would involve the world reducing emissions by 50 per cent by 2050 - and rich countries cutting theirs by 30 per cent by 2020.

 

 

 

Economists stressed there is little time for delay. If action is put off for a decade, it will need to be twice as radical; if it has to wait 20 years, it will cost between three and seven times as much.

 

 

 

The good news is that it can be done with existing technology, by cutting energy waste, expanding the use of renewable sources, growing trees and crops (which remove carbon dioxide from the air) to turn into fuel, capturing the gas before it is released from power stations, and - maybe - using more nuclear energy.

 

 

 

The better news is that it would not cost much: one estimate suggested the cost would be about 1 per cent of Europe's GNP spread over 20 years; another suggested it meant postponing an expected fivefold increase in world wealth by just two years. Many experts believe combating global warming would increase prosperity, by bringing in new technologies.

 

 

 

The big question is whether governments will act. President Bush's opposition to international action remains the greatest obstacle. Tony Blair, by almost universal agreement, remains the leader with the best chance of persuading him to change his mind.

 

 

 

But so far the Prime Minister has been more influenced by the President than the other way round. He appears to be moving away from fighting for the pollution reductions needed in favor of agreeing on a vague pledge to bring in new technologies sometime in the future.

 

 

 

By then it will be too late. And our children and grandchildren will wonder - as we do in surveying, for example, the drift into the First World War - "how on earth could they be so blind?"

 

 

 

WATER WARS

 

 

 

What could happen? Wars break out over diminishing water resources as populations grow and rains fail.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Over 25 per cent more people than at present are expected to live in countries where water is scarce in the future, and global warming will make it worse.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Former UN chief Boutros Boutros-Ghali has long said that the next Middle East war will be fought for water, not oil.

 

 

 

DISAPPEARING NATIONS

 

 

 

What could happen? Low-lying island such as the Maldives and Tuvalu - with highest points only a few feet above sea-level - will disappear off the face of the Earth.

 

 

 

How would this come about? As the world heats up, sea levels are rising, partly because glaciers are melting, and partly because the water in the oceans expands as it gets warmer.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Inevitable. Even if global warming stopped today, the seas would continue to rise for centuries. Some small islands have already sunk for ever. A year ago, Tuvalu was briefly submerged.

 

 

 

FLOODING

 

 

 

What could happen? London, New York, Tokyo, Bombay, many other cities and vast areas of countries from Britain to Bangladesh disappear under tens of feet of water, as the seas rise dramatically.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica melt. The Greenland ice sheet would raise sea levels by more than 20ft, the West Antarctic ice sheet by another 15ft.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Scientists used to think it unlikely, but this year reported that the melting of both ice caps had begun. It will take hundreds of years, however, for the seas to rise that much.

 

 

 

UNINHABITABLE EARTH

 

 

 

What could happen? Global warming escalates to the point where the world's whole climate abruptly switches, turning it permanently into a much hotter and less hospitable planet.

 

 

 

How would this come about? A process involving "positive feedback" causes the warming to fuel itself, until it reaches a point that finally tips the climate pattern over.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Abrupt flips have happened in the prehistoric past. Scientists believe this is unlikely, at least in the foreseeable future, but increasingly they are refusing to rule it out.

 

 

 

RAINFOREST FIRES

 

 

 

What could happen? Famously wet tropical forests, such as those in the Amazon, go up in flames, destroying the world's richest wildlife habitats and releasing vast amounts of carbon dioxide to speed global warming.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Britain's Met Office predicted in 1999 that much of the Amazon will dry out and die within 50 years, making it ready for sparks - from humans or lightning - to set it ablaze.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Very, if the predictions turn out to be right. Already there have been massive forest fires in Borneo and Amazonia, casting palls of highly polluting smoke over vast areas.

 

 

 

THE BIG FREEZE

 

 

 

What could happen? Britain and northern Europe get much colder because the Gulf Stream, which provides as much heat as the sun in winter, fails.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Melting polar ice sends fresh water into the North Atlantic. The less salty water fails to generate the underwater current which the Gulf Stream needs.

 

 

 

How likely is it? About evens for a Gulf Steam failure this century, said scientists last week.

 

 

 

STARVATION

 

 

 

What could happen? Food production collapses in Africa, for example, as rainfall dries up and droughts increase. As farmland turns to desert, people flee in their millions in search of food.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Rainfall is expected to decrease by up to 60 per cent in winter and 30 per cent in summer in southern Africa this century. By some estimates, Zambia could lose almost all its farms.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Pretty likely unless the world tackles both global warming and Africa's decline. Scientists agree that droughts will increase in a warmer world.

 

 

 

ACID OCEANS

 

 

 

What could happen? The seas will gradually turn more and more acid. Coral reefs, shellfish and plankton, on which all life depends, will die off. Much of the life of the oceans will become extinct.

 

 

 

How would this come about? The oceans have absorbed half the carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming, so far emitted by humanity. This forms dilute carbonic acid, which attacks corals and shells.

 

 

 

How likely is it? It is already starting. Scientists warn that the chemistry of the oceans is changing in ways unprecedented for 20 million years. Some predict that the world's coral reefs will die within 35 years.

 

 

 

DISEASE

 

 

 

What could happen? Malaria - which kills two million people worldwide every year - reaches Britain with foreign travelers, gets picked up by British mosquitos and becomes endemic in the warmer climate.

 

 

 

How would this come about? Four of our 40 mosquito species can carry the disease, and hundreds of travelers return with it annually. The insects breed faster, and feed more, in warmer temperatures.

 

 

 

How likely is it? A Department of Health study has suggested it may happen by 2050: the Environment Agency has mentioned 2020. Some experts say it is miraculous that it has not happened already.

 

 

 

HURRICANES

 

 

 

What could happen? Hurricanes, typhoons and violent storms proliferate, grow even fiercer, and hit new areas. Last September's repeated battering of Florida and the Caribbean may be just a foretaste of what is to come, say scientists.

 

 

 

How would this come about? The storms gather their energy from warm seas, and so, as oceans heat up, fiercer ones occur and threaten areas where at present the seas are too cool for such weather.

 

 

 

How likely is it? Scientists are divided over whether storms will get more frequent and whether the process has already begun. [/hide]

Effects of global warming ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Summary

 

There is no doubt that global warming is already affecting he Earth in many ways and this will worsen. Effects are, and will, be felt in these areas

 

 

 

 

 

Extreme weather

 

Rising oceans

 

Food and water resources

 

Human health

 

Economic

 

War and conflicts and

 

Further global warming

 

 

 

TodayÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s average surface temperature is up by about 0.5C since 1890. It is expected that global mean temperature will increase by between 1.4 and 5.8ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâðC, or 2.5 to 10ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâðF.

 

 

 

Of course it is difficult to link global warming with specific events. But we do know such events have increased while carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and temperatures have risen at the same time.

 

 

 

For example, between 1950 and 1959 there were 20 great natural disasters worldwide. Between 1990 and 1989, 89 were counted - wildfires, cyclones, flooding, drought and mudslides among them.

 

 

 

There are many, many factors that combine in their effects of global warming, and many of them are not predictable with certainty. Here are some that most scientists think are now happening or are likely to happen

 

 

 

 

 

Effects of global warming ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ weather

 

More extreme weather is already occurring. Cyclones have gained in strength since 1970. Rainfall associated with such weather has increased by 7% in the USA for example.

 

 

 

Heavily populated, low-lying coastal areas in cyclone-prone areas are particularly vulnerable. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅHurricane KatrinaÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
