Global Warming Cause

Posts Tagged ‘causes of global warming’

When it comes to climate change, global warming and the state of the planet Earth, there are many contradictory voices. Many of these voices are affected by motive , others by guilt, whilst the majority are just plain wrong!

There is one scientist whose voice resonates above all the others, a scientist, who at 91 years old, has seldom got it wrong, a scientist who we should all take very seriously. His name is professor James Lovelock.

In a village pub in the 1960′s, the distinguished author, William Golding, convinced Lovelock to name his hypothesis (that the Earth is a highly complex self-regulating system), Gaia, the Greek Goddess representing the Earth. For many years Lovelock observed Gaia from many angles: from space, beneath the oceans, amidst glaciers, as well as in the all important atmosphere. His conclusions about Gaia are now widely accepted throughout the scientific community. His Gaia hypothesis expounds that we are all part of the Earth System, all part of the intricate and living Earth. As such, we all have a role to play, from the algae on the rocks to the clouds in the sky, to the urine we release with certain relief! Gaia as a whole can be thought of as a living super-organism, with our own species identifiable as the most highly developed intelligent species Gaia has ever produced. It is our success as a species and what it has taken to achieve it that could also be the catalyst that leads to one of the greatest tragedy’s that mankind has yet encountered.

The key message is that we don’t have much time and failure to act is not an option we have. “Saving the planet” and the “Green Revolution” are romantic delusions that will speed us faster towards a perilous end. It must be understood that the planet will save herself, if we wish to survive with her, we must take preparatory action.

‘A Hitchhiker’s Guide To Gaia’ is a collaboration with Professor James Lovelock that will investigate his, and others, observations and predictions surrounding Gaia Theory. Human survival is based around the preservation of civilisation with abundant food, water and energy supplies. Lovelock has a poignant message with practical advice for preparing for the future that will soon be upon us.

PLEASE READ!!! PLEASE READ ALL (CLICK MORE INFO)Hi, this video was put together and narrated by me. I hope it gives you a better insight and more knowlege about global warming. Please only post constructive criticizm (if you are going to criticize)… ALSO!! Go to www.blip.tv for part 2 of this video. BTW: This documentary took over 100 hours to put together, edit videos, record videos, make narration documents, list bibliography, etc, etc, etc This is Draft 5 you are watching Please enjoy And just a side note this was a project for school (I got a 99% and was chosen as the best documentary in the school!) Thanks For Watching =) Remember Part 2 is at www.blip.tv NOT REVVER anymore (Revver is constantly down, and the video quality has degraded, blip TV has FULL HD and is much better) Thanks

This is the most current (2010) trailer for Hooked on Growth, a documentary examining the superstitions and addictions we need to leave behind in order to become a sustainable civilization. Scheduled for completion in 2011. Join the global grass roots network helping to fund, produce, distribute and spread the word about this non-profit project at www.growthbusters.org

It seems like almost everyone who doubts anthropogenic global warming bases their doubt on historical evidence, "common sense", or both. This puzzles me, because the global climate is far too complex to simply understand with common sense.

Most of the scientists skeptical of AGW appear to be geologists. This is because geologists study the Earth’s history, and conclude "The Earth has gone through climate changes before, and been hotter than it is now, so the current global warming is no big deal". Many laymen use this same reasoning. However, this historical argument ignores the recent data which cannot be explained by natural cycles, as previous climate change events can be.

So some people conclude that because the climate has changed before, humans are not warming it now. Others conclude that humans are too miniscule to be impacting something as large as the Earth’s climate.

They not only ignore a vast amount of data, but the experts’ conclusions, based on common sense.
My question is – why do they think their common sense is not only enough to draw a conclusion about the causes of global warming, but also better informed than climate scientists?
jim z – proving my point about geologists precisely. Thanks.

No offense of course – many of my co-workers are geologists. But then, they don’t fancy themselves global climate change experts.
Tomcat what are you smoking? I always specifically state "the current global warming", which is the warming over the past 30 years, which as you point out, is not caused by the Sun.

Your quote states not only over the entire century rather than focusing on the recent warming, but it also has massive error bars.

Basically you’re seeking out any possible reason to deny AGW. Ignoring a massive body of evidence because a few outlying papers with large uncertainties appear skeptical is absurd. Denial.
Grizz – where am I calling people names rather than discussing science?

You’re grumpy today.
coocachoo – you seem out of touch with both my answers and the conclusions of climate scientists.
Tomcat #2 – I appreciate that you kept an open mind on the surface temperature record quality.

Whether or not global warming continues in the future depends not just on the Sun’s output, but the magnitude of its change as compared to the magnitude of change of greenhouse gas concentrations.

Over the past 30 years, greenhouse gas concentration changes have dominated solar output changes in terms of climate effects. I doubt the solar output will decrease sufficiently to change that.

People have been decrying coal as one of the prime causes of global warming, and yet suddenly we have "clean coal" and everything is okay?

For a school project I made a game board based on the game Clue. The game board is about climate change. Please help!!!
The gameboard is based on Clue and the theme is climate change. The suspects are different causes of global warming, the weapons are greenhouse gases and the rooms are layers of the atmosphere.
Thanks

I need info for a project and I want to know what the main causes of global warming/ climate change are? ( more info on CO2 emission).
