Is Global Warming Man Made?

Stony: you are ignorant of anything that has to do with weather. I am for taking care of the environment and other green movements, but I will not stand for non-truths. As a professional certified by the national weather service, I feel the need to teach you a little weather 101. The earth atmosphere is made up of 70% nitrogen, about 29% oxygen, and about .5% of CO2 and a whole lot less than .1% molecules such as .0017% methane. That's right, percent. The National Weather Service recognizes that water vapor is the single largest 'greenhouse' gas with somewhere around 1-4% in the atmosphere. (depending on where it is and it will saturate the atmosphere, say in a thunderstorm.) The debate is how much of a factor of CO2 effecting the atmosphere if it is only .5%, and therefore less than even water vapor. At best, it is half as effective towards global warming. I professionally know that water is more of a factor in greenhouse effect than anything else. One problem with the political movement on Global warming is that they ignore that fact and that 3/4 of the earth surface is covered by water. In regards to methane, it is considered a light gas and rises out of the atmosphere and into space. It is no factor in greenhouse effect. Simply put, there is not much evidence that increasing CO2 has been the cause of global warming, or that it even effects more than other known and very common greenhouse gases. The earth is pretty good about fixing itself and releasing energy out into space. The Global Warming movement claims rightly that global warming will cause more clouds. However, those same clouds will reflect more of the sun's energy almost perfectly and counteract any energy coming in. So their conclusion is incorrect. I could go on and on, but you should educate yourself before you go on a diatribe against everyone else.

The ambient Temperature rise is directly correlated with land use. The bigger a city - the bigger the ambient Temperature will be. Scientists understand this and make an adjustment based on the population of the city where the Temperature is being measured. The only problem with this is that none of the climate scientists know how much of an adjustment to make so technically their data is corrupt. There is also the problem of growth without population growth, for instance - Vienna Austria has increased in area but the population has remained the same for around the past 40 years.

If you look at Temperature data for areas where land use has no impact (for instance forest land and remote areas) there is little to no change in the ambient temperature overall for the past 100 years. Global warming will turn out to be one of the greatest frauds of all time. This has happened with other sciences in the past. Google the word "Eugenics" I think you will be VERY surprised.

No thats what THEY want YOU to THINK!!!! Do not believe a word of it because it is some fairy tale, goo goo ga ga. The Earth is going through drastic changes that are part of the Earth's cycle. The fact is records show the Earth goes through heating and cooling periods, irrelevant of man's use of it. Don't get me wrong we act like a bunch of pigs and make a mess, but the Earth can handle it easily. The reason why THEY started this myth is that it is part of the program where THEY want us to think we are control of the Earth when we are not. People can argue all day long the facts are there all you need to do is think about it and develop your own opinion about it. The best science can do is create theories and postulate about it. Until the cycle is done no one will know exactly what will happen. The Earth's magnetic field is being affected by interplanetary movements as well( stuff THEY dont want to tell YOU). Ok I had my fun for today, good question best of Luck God EL Bless! JD

Some governments and scientists are raking in billions of dollars because they promote global warming while continuing to support trash like the Kyoto Accord. The scientists involved are anything but 'top' scientists. They're opportunists looking for funding.

No link has ever been proven between CO2 and temperature change. CO2 is a useful plant food, nothing more. The whole idea of CO2 as a catalyst for raising temperature is nothing more than a weak theory.

Those who believe in global warming have been conned, and those who benefit from it need lengthly prison terms. It's a hoax without scientific support but with lots of left-wing political involvement.

global warming is MAN Made. It has nothing to do with man, even though ocean levels are rising, and the planets starting to heat up, it's caused by a completely diffrerent purpose... Watch the video by John Moore, a naval intelligence officer,on "global wamring" and he'll explain more..

I wouldn't say its man made. If you review the information of the history of the plant apparently this whole global warming thing happens (according to scientists) every billions of years due to the earths own emissions. Whether we do it or not, it's bound to happen at some time or another. I wouldn't doubt that we speed up the process though. My personal opinion, just another scare tactic...

It's cooling, pay no mind to scare tactics, Alarmists, Liberals, and Media...

Also the IPCC and NOAA, the links Alarmists throw up because it's their only way of debating the truth...

And the truth is, there is no such thing as Global Warming, it's a hoax and one day you will see.

Top scientists are calling it a hoax? What a load of garbage.

97% of climate scientists agree humans are causing global warming.

The few who disagree don't call it a hoax, they just think the evidence points elsewhere.

Here is a summary of the scientific evidence.

Relying on YouTube for scientific information is a bad idea, to say the least.

The only thing that's man made about this whole global warming stuff is the manufactured "crisis" and the "solution" to take our money and limit our freedom.

Since Global Warming is a farce, man made global warming is an even bigger farce. Mankind cannot be responsible for something that DOES NOT EXIST!!
