what are some reasons why global warming is not believed to be real?

World leaders are not too concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by an American statesman , that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.

Some Scientists who get paid by politicians or Oil Companies ,have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and to admit to the reality ,means change .

,

Change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,

We may be kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political , economic and even religious reasons.

There appears to be a giant propaganda machine operating that deals in misinformation,and skepticism.

on the one hand

Designed to prevent change and allow present behavior to continue ,such as deforestation,desertification ,over use of water ,irresponsible management of natural resources etc.

but it becomes really confusing because another kind propaganda exaggerates facts so we can be taxed by leaders who are exploiting Global warming for other devious reasons

the best lies are half truths

People who are in cahoots with the Environment ,who wish to conserve it ,preserve it and be responsible about using Natural resources are insulted ,ridiculed ,suspended and Global Warming has now been demoted to a conspiracy theory.

------------------------------...

just for fun i asked a question in polls and surveys and again in religion

who thought Global warming was a lie ,and who was religious .

granted many people who believed in God and also believed in climate change .

but

the fact emerged that ALL of the people who denied Global warming ,who said it was a hoax ,were without any exceptions ,religious.

Global Warming disagrees with what was written

Many People are used to fiction and they feel more comfortable with fairy tales instead of the truth.

Many believe that our fate is in Gods hands ,and they prefer to focus on the beautiful heaven that awaits.

It would be Ironic ,if Hell came to Earth instead ,and we would NOT have to die to get there.

Demonstrating that the god was either disloyal,unloving or incompetent.,and few would care to admit to that

How ever the fact remains that to millions of skeptics and deniers it is mass hysteria and figments of millions of peoples imagination .

.

However the price of beer may go up ,because of potable water shortage

and food prices may rise because the third world slave countries got lots of problems due to Global Warming.

on e degree rise in temperature means 10% crop loss-

In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before.

Millions of animals died and the crocodile ,who are abundant in that area were delighted.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

a few years ago a whole bunch in France as well.

these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand

and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors

In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing

you may have polar bears soon in America ,when the north pole is gone ,looking for a home ,as the bollweavel sings.

so that is the good news you can add another specie to your list ,instead of deleting hundreds that are disappearing

the biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,this affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that affect all that follows in the food chains ,All life is interrelated of both flora and fauna,

And we as being on the top of the food chain are always the last to know

when they killed all the mosquito's around the Danube for example all of the life in the woods disappeared ,they were a vital link in the food change.like the disappearing bees will drastically affect pollination ,some of that is part of our food production

So Global warming has its toll there are incidents all over the world

Julia S gave a great answer. Listen to the skeptics, don't listen to other believers for your answer if you want to know why people remain skeptical.

There has been a cycle of warming and cooler temperatures every 25-30 years. It happened in the 30's and 40's and the 60's and 70's.

Some of the most qualified and well respected environmental scientists don't believe what the IPCC is stating.

Let's compare Al Gore to the IPCC. Al Gore uses words like "If this were to happen" and he says sea levels will be 20 feet higher in the year 2100. Yet the IPCC says sea levels will be 23 inches higher in 2100. Al Gore uses major "What ifs" that are impossible to ever happen unless the Sun explodes.

Most of the 2500 scientists that make up the IPCC are not environmental scientists.

One thing I don't like is they set out to "prove" something they want to believe. Well, if I want to make a case for anything I can find supporting evidence. Science is not supposed to make a theory and then find whatever fits into the model to make it true.

We also know that CO2 does NOT cause heat to increase. A heat increases results in more CO2. It's the opposite.

Also, a significant amount of weather monitoring happens in urban areas. These areas are affected by Urban Heat Islands. Cities are naturally warmer than surrounding areas, so the temperature readings are not as accurate.

Let's say the temperature is up 1 degree. I would be generous if I said I could believe humans have caused 0.25 of a degree in change.

Now, ask me if I think pollution is bad and I will answer yes, let's try not to pollute and reuse what we can, but don't try to impose heavy fines and taxes on businesses based on junk science.

Also, Mar's and Venus are also hotter. Astronomers believe the temperature increase to be cyclical with the Sun.

There's a number of reason to "question" the science. There is nothing wrong with questioning it, but you'll find most people that believe in global warming lash out at skeptic.

By the way, it was changes to Global Warming after the 2 decades in the last 100 years they were saying "Global Cooling" and the 2 decades they were saying "Global Warming".

In 30 years when temperatures are dropping again, like they always do, they'll be sure to say global cooling instead. The next generation won't check into the facts and only know scientists have been using the global climate change term for 50 years.

Believe me, this climate argument has been going on for over 100 years. The problem is, by the time the argument is reversed, all the people who experienced the previous argument are much older and ignored.

The founder of the Weather Channel, who made his life work the climate, does not believe in man made Global Warming. He believes it is natural.

I don't care what Chuck the insect scientist thinks, his specialty is bugs not the climate, yet people like him are using their "scientist" status to convince people in Global Warming.

I'll wait for hard proof not pie in the sky science.

Additionally "scientists" were predicting MAJOR hurricanes the last 2 years, saying they would be the worst we've seen.

He had the 2 SLOWEST hurricane seasons on record. Yet, you hear nothing about how the scientists were wrong. How come?

It will get ignored over and over again, and when there IS a big storm, they will say "SEE WE TOLD YOU SO!" yet they never admit they were wrong about the last 2 seasons.

Tree stumps were just uncovered by a glacier that is melting in Canada. Global warming activists were alarmed at the melting. Skeptical people said "If ice is supposed to always be there, why are their tree stumps from ONLY 7,000 years ago?"

A question for you, knowing the Earth goes through natural cycles, tell us when the Earth should get warmer, how warm and likewise, when it should cool and how cool.

Climate change is nothing new - the earth changes climate for completely natural reasons. Some warming does not prove the greenhouse theory.

The theory seems to be speculative in important ways. The effect of CO2 is quite small - climatologists predict most of the warming will come from positive feedbacks - there is some disagreement on what the positive feedbacks will be.

The global warming predictions don't seem to be a good fit with real world data. The globe is warming at about the same rate now that it was 80 years ago even though CO2 levels have changed considerably in that time.

Good it is rough to think what scientists say is true, actuly to not lengthy in the past there was a scientist/meteorologist who stated that we'd be going into one more Ice Age, despite the fact that he was fallacious in regards to the Ice Age section the temperature did drop one measure within the north and south pole. So a while scientists aren't correct on the money, but the warming trends within the south and north pole has definetly long gone up. Additionally there are people who be taught icebergs, they do this in view that ice bergs depeanding on now the layers of ice in it looks and different stuff they may be able to inform how the temperature was again alongside time ago, and they say by looking on the ice the climate has been going up. And on the obvious facet, they are able to tell one of the crucial world's greatest and oldest icebergs had been melting, also if we continue to do what we do we could reason the ocean level to upward push immensly fron the melting of icebergs, and the quantity of polerbears is commencing to get very low, also when the ocean stage rises it might cause ny, ny, and New Orleans to move beneath water (however all of us knew that it's not very vibrant so that you can build houses below sea level, so pronouncing all of us new New Orleans was once doomed from the begin.) good in conclution i do not imply to scare you into beileving like the media does,(sure they try this.) So it is rough to beilieve but we do have enough proof for us to start getting worried.

Well if you read the book about John Stossel(sorry if i spelled wrong), he says that the Earth had experienced an ice age and is recovering, and he also says that the scientists who believe in Global Warming can't explain why the temperature wasn't heating in the 1900-1940 where they spent a lot of fossil fuels for cars and industries. He does admit though that the Earth is warming

I think the evidence for global warming is overwhelming. So is the evidence for global warming being -- in part -- caused by human activities, like burning fossil fuel; most scientists believe that almost all global warming is caused that way.

But nobody knows for sure exactly HOW MUCH of global warming is caused by human activities. Some of it may be caused by natural causes. So some people take that fact and argue that it isn't real at all. IMHO these people are totally wrong.

Well it's tough to feel what scientists say is correct, actuly to not lengthy in the past there used to be a scientist/meteorologist who mentioned that we might be going into an additional Ice Age, even though he used to be mistaken approximately the Ice Age side the temperature did drop one measure within the north and south pole. So a while scientists don't seem to be proper at the cash, however the warming traits within the south and north pole has definetly long gone up. Also there are persons who research icebergs, they do this when you consider that ice bergs depeanding on now the layers of ice in it appears and different stuff they are able to inform how the temperature used to be again alongside time in the past, they usually say by means of watching on the ice the local weather has been going up. And at the visible facet, they are able to inform one of the international's greatest and oldest icebergs had been melting, Also if we retain to do what we can we would motive the ocean degree to upward thrust immensly fron the melting of icebergs, and the quantity of polerbears is establishing to get very low, additionally whilst the ocean degree rises it would motive New York, Manhattan, and New Orleans to head beneath water (however all of us knew that it's not very vibrant so that you can construct residences beneath sea degree, so announcing all of us new New Orleans used to be doomed from the begin.) Well in conclution I do not imply to scare you into beileving just like the media does,(sure they do this.) So it's tough to beilieve however we do have adequate proof for us to begin getting concerned.

I think that people who say Global Warming isn't real are those who don't wanna take responsibilities for their actions. Yes...The earth has gone through warming periods AND cooling periods before but never this rapidly. And if it isn't real don't you think only good could come out of being more Earth friendly. Oil causes war and not to mention it is putting people in a financial crisis. Our trees are all getting cut down, our lakes are being dried up. Man IS destroying the Earth. Now that is a fact. So no matter what you believe, let's keep our planet nice and clean. Let's keep our beautiful forests and jungles. Let's take care of it the best we can so that our children and grandchildren may enjoy the wonderment of it all.

Global Warming is a hoax from those who want to line America up with the Laws of the United Nations, under their laws and regulations which do not hold the Supremacy of any One Nation but there own. The United Nations is Communist in nature and will be lead by an Antichrist causing all to be marked with a microchip Implant in order to buy or sell anything. Those refusing this order will become criminals to the cause of world and global peace and will be jailed and sentenced and those receiving this mark shall lose their souls. Go to trumpetmin.org and click could this be the mark? for more. Yes, United Nations will force their laws and taxes on everyone worldwide and the money they collect will make this empire unstopable.

Data suggests that the warming is real. The question is why? Over the history of the Earth there have been thousands of warm and cold periods, the last little "Ice Age" ending only a little over 100 years ago.

LJ, predictions are not proof. Predictions are not even evidence.

Research some evidence for global warming. Find the evidence you think is most compelling and then come ask what the skeptics say about that particular evidence. I will be able to give you an answer then.
