is this proof global warming is happening?

Question

it's a lot warm now in may 2007 than it was in december 2006

Answer 1

I've noticed that myself, if June is warmer than February then global warming must be true, also siberia hasn't as much snow just now as it does in January another sure indication of the Planet heating up.

Answer 2

The proof for global warming is not found in the fact that one year is warmer than the previous year, or that six of the warmest years on record are in the past decade, or that there has been a recent cluster of stronger than average hurricanes, or that glaciers are disappearing from places that have had permanent ice for all of recorded history, or that sea level is rising to flood a couple of Pacific Island nations and an Eskimo village in Alaska on the edge of the Arctic Ocean.



Over the past forty years, data on average earth surface temperatures have been determined from fossil and geological evidence going back millions of years. Solar output cycles have been determined, earth orbital effects have been determined, earth axial effects have been determined, and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have been determined going back thousands of years. Calculations have been performed to correlate all known temperature variation with all known and imagined causes for that variation. The result has been that all the other effects, except CO2, have been causing either no real change over the past 250 years or have been exerting cooling effects. Nonetheless, there has been an increase of about 1 degree Centigrade in average earth surface temperature. The only change that has been measured that correlates with this increase is the doubling that has taken place of CO2 concentration in the lower atmosphere over the same time period.



The correlation between CO2 and average surface temperature is greater than 90% certain. That is the proof of global warming.

Answer 3

I do not believe in global warming ! Whatever is happening to the planet is meant to happen. Look at all the ice ages, stone ages, iron ages etc that have gone before. There have been times in the past when the planet has been more land than water and vice versa. It is not called global warming, it is called evolution. It is the way of the world.



Global warming is a term invented to bully us into doing what the world leaders would like us to do i.e. ride a bike instead of driving a car etc. If the world leaders are so concerned about global warming and damage to the ozone layer, why don't they stop sending rockets up in space ? How many Range Rovers would it take to equal the emissions and fuel usage of one rocket ? If they are really that worried about saving our planet, why are they not making that more of a priority than investigating other planets ? God, they must really think we are stupid ?

Answer 4

Short term temperature changes are irrelevant.



Meteorologists know about the weather. Climatologists know about climate change.



Temperatures have fluctuated throughout time but in the last 100 years we have seen an increase in temperature, FAR FASTER than at ANY OTHER TIME in the Earth's history.



This 100 year increase has coincided with the start of massive industrialization on our planet.



Coincidence????

Answer 5

Are you gonna placed up those findings? How plenty study went into your claims? The ever widening parameters of climate information is a results of worldwide climate exchange. extreme climate is an illustration of instability in the ambience. a upward thrust in extreme climate became right into a prediction of the onset of climate exchange. Why do you think of that worldwide warming will get rid of all chilly air? That became into no longer a predition of climate exchange. it is the direct results of worldwide warming that makes the jet stream is so erratic! that fluctuate in the jet stream pulls down the Arctic air,and it clashes with strangely heat moist air from the checklist heat waters of the Gulf of Mexico. What area of climate instability do no longer you get? extreme storms ARE a hallmark that there is worldwide warming! warmth drives the climate. strengthen the warmth,and the climate gets extra useful. No brainer!

Answer 6

It might be a good indication that you should start looking at the possibility, but one or two hot years are simply not enough to deduce long term global trends.



Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), scientists have been collecting evidence for a great many years now. And are now sure beyond reasonable doubt that the global mean temperature is steadily increasing, and that humans are to blame.

Answer 7

um no remember that december is a winter month so it would have to be warmer in may than in december 2006

Answer 8

No, one warm year on record doesn't prove global warming is happening, just as one cool year wouldn't prove it isn't.

You have to look at temperatures over large periods of time (30 years is usually the norm) to extrapolate long term trends.

Answer 9

May usually is warmer than December..

Answer 10

It might be indicative if you are living in Australia. But you will find the real indicators in the world-wide retreat of glaciers and ice-shelves, the consistent upward changes in ocean temperatures, and other long-term, worldwide measurements.



Many of us will experience the effects as "climate change" rather than consistent warming.

Answer 11

I was near the equator this year and it was very hot, so I would say the world is hot but not getting hotter any more than it was going to become - if the industrial revolution did not happen.

Answer 12

There is no such thing as Global warming. It's just another scam to enable governments to increase taxes.



The universe is constantly changing. These changes affect all the planets to a greater or lesser degree.



Nothing we do will have any material effect on our environment in the long term. Nature will run it's course, we will simply get swept along with it.

Answer 13

Thirty million years ago Cuba just had it's highest points above water. Despite humanity, these things come and go. If humanity happens to go with it, so be it!

Answer 14

90% of all scientists believe that global warming is real why shouldent we? plue its a lot hotter that it was 50 years ago ya I know weather changes over the years but not this badly!

Answer 15

We must assume that this question originated in the southern hemisphere otherwise it would be total nonsense!

Answer 16

haha...it might be...but why are people so concerned about it...10 years ago global warming was also getting worse, but people don;t think about it...they just focus on now...why are people so concerned...if it does take effect, it will be when we are dead!

Answer 17

Oh yes. I heard about it from Al Gore. I believe him.

Answer 18

Meterologists can not successfully predict TOMORROW'S weather, so why are we so confident about their predictive abilities for something to take place over the next several DECADES?



Tom

Answer 19

sure Ron, and a hell a lot more than that too

Answer 20

you cannot halt the power of nature.contrary to belief,we have to live with it.

Answer 21

um...no. Global warming, in my opinion, is not real. However, it is possible. But not likely.

Answer 22

the end is near. get as many credit cards as possible and spend,spend,spend.

Answer 23
