If humans are causing global warming, why is it also happening on other planets?

I am not a member of the Al Gore church of global warming. I do believe that the sun and earth cycles cause warming trends.

Update:

Come on people. I need convincing. Telling me that there are "thousands of scientists" that agree with global warming means nothing when there are "thousands of scientists" that disagree with the idea of global warming.

    well never have i seen so many scientists ever converge on one spot that doesnt know the difference between to and too.

    CO2 is made primarily by the sun. to think we have even a little blame on global warming is TOO funny.(notice the too reference)

    to emmanuel saying we set off nukes pushing us closer to the sun is quite hilarious. is this al gore incognito?

    its the angle of the rays kiddo that makes the sun warmer or colder. isnt this stuff 3 rd grade science?

    any hoo, the sky is falling blah blah blah and there s enough hot air in this thread to raise the earths temp 1 degree itself.

    good question though

    The sun has cycles that alternate every 11 years between solar maximum and solar minimum, with the next solar maximum occurring in the year 2012. At this point the sun will be at its hottest for another 22 years. The last solar minimum was in 2001, and global trends have show an increase in temperature on Earth way before starting in the 1990's.

    we are a flea on an elephant, we have to be responsible, but we have to live. We can evolve, we can adapt, but we adapt with free market acceptance of energy options by capability, not agenda! Build a better mousetrap and the World is yours! But you can force civilization to use energy that is incapable, just because it's worth is an illusion!

    I believe in human and energy evolution, just look at where we were 100yrs ago! Think about where we will be in 100yrs from now. The human race will not go over any cliff, we will optimize and regulate and evolve forward. There is no need to go backwards. Wind and solar are recreational energies, fossil fuels are industrial energies.

    Our research should be in getting better efficiency and reduced emissions with our World established and effective fossil fuels.

    Continue optimization research in other areas also, then use the best energy source to suit the given need. Simple.

    Wind and solar are currently incapable of many tasks that need to be done every day. They may NEVER be capable. We may discover some muffler system that recycles CO2 in the engine for a clean burn, we may come up with an engine that burns CO2 in the process? We can innovate, without restriction. Why is there no consideration on improvement and innovation? I will tell you why... it is all about Taxation and control. It has nothing to do with climate!

    There are three fundamental flaws in the 'other planets are warming' argument:

    1. Not all planets are warming - some are cooling

    2. The sun has shown no long term trend since 1950

    3. There are explanations for why other planets are warming

    Only 6 planets or moons out of the 100+ bodies in the solar system have been observed to be warming. On the other hand, Uranus is cooling

    When you get on a plane with lots of other people, and you're all flying to the same city, do you think you're all doing it for the same reason? That's equivalent to the question you asked. Just because it's warming on Earth and may be warming on another planet doesn't mean they're warming for the same reason.

    And by the way, saying "Al Gore church of global warming" is very insulting to the thousands of scientists that are working on the research.

    EDIT: I'm sorry if you don't understand analogies Evans, email me and I'll explain it to you...I could also explain physics to you while I'm at it, since that is my field.

    our summer in the philippines which is april to may now became may-june

    and our summer this year also became our rainy season...

    the climate now is f*cked up...it's mixed,

    next thing you'll hear in the tv, saudi arabia now experiencing blizzard o.o

    and fact france's grape farm is not doing well this few years and england became good at it cause of temperature's going up a bit

    EDIT: oh yea the question....humans aren't the primary ones causing the warming just like the other said theyr'e just speeding it up...

    millions of years ago global warming existed but not too much and other planets have it because there are still factors that cause it like volcanoes, etc

    The be conscious "worldwide" does no longer propose "conventional". It refers to our globe, the planet Earth. I even have considered no info that the climate on different planets is likewise changing simply by human pastime. in case you have some, why no longer proportion it with us? human beings ought to reason worldwide warming via burning each and every little bit of fossil gasoline we are in a position to dig out of the floor or pump from it, consequently putting actually hundreds of thousands of a lot of carbon dioxide and different greenhouse gases into the ambience *each and every* single day. Do you think of we are in a position to easily shop doing that continually devoid of outcomes? if so, then your mind's eye is a lot wilder than mine is. Get a clue - that's truly occurring. that's no longer some conspiracy. edit: "mutually as water vapor is the eco-friendly domicile gasoline that has the main effect." top, wager what the different fabricated from burning hydrocarbons is? Water vapor.

    Global warming can be natural as well as unnatural. In the past, there have been many times when global warming has occured naturally. This is a slow process though. What is happening right now is different because it is happening at a faster rate. Humans are making pollution that speeds up the natural occurrence. Also, if you look at graphs of CO2 levels in the past, you can see that the levels are higher today than they have ever been because of humans.

  • just give us evidences dat the whole solar system is experiencing it and then we will answer ur question.. Global warming is not an alarming topic..Its pace at earth .. the way its speeding up daily.. dis is the main question.. now will u just stop thinking all dis and start thinking how can u stop global warming in earth.. i hope u belong to earth.. or r u sm alien.. u seem to b more worried abt other planets.. dont u... so plz.. think abt smthing that is highly imp.... and dat is global warming on EARTH and nt on other planets.. once it is in our control... we will surely think abt other planets.. i promise

    I don't think you've thought this through. Let me ask you some (rhetorical) questions.

    If the warming on Earth and other planets were due to the sun alone, wouldn't all the other planets be warming? What do you think is the reason that is not the case? Maybe because each planet has its own warming and cooling mechanisms?
