Natural Causes & Human Causes of Climate Change Articles?

Answer 1

Roy Snider has stated he believes the warming was caused by random cloud behavior and that more heat is escaping the atmosphere than other climatologists believe. Richard Lindzen believes AGW is real but cirrus clouds will behave as a negative feedback and stop the atmosphere from warming much. Others have claimed warming is due to sun spots (though the solar scientists who actually study the sun don't say this). Others have claimed the earth passed through a patch of gamm rays. Others, specifically non-scientists claim that CO2 and methane do not cause the atmosphere to retain heat. Others claim without support that the atmosphere has sometime in the past warmed as rapidly as this century. Other claim that the environment is not warming and sea levels are not rising. Others claim the environment is warming due to explained magic natural cycles ("we're coming out of an ice age"). It is a mish-mash of contradictory beliefs. You'll see people grapping any thing they hear as long as it is different from what all climatologists believe and all research shows. Mostly they just attack scientists as being in a big Marxist conspiracy. There is no alternative theory to the mainstream that has a large following. Among people who actually study climate there is wide agreement that AGW is very real. There is some debate about the rates and effects, and the certainty of future effects. But generally the term climate change skeptics applies to people who do study climate and do not fully understand the depth of research already conducted.

Answer 2

There's videos on YouTube called " the great global warming swindle" this will give you quite alot of evidence that it's not caused by humans, and all you have to do is watch. Hope it helps.



PS dont let Hey Dook bother you, he always acts like that

Answer 3

Learn to google before subtracting from your 64 YA points.

NASA provides a very simple site that delves into both.

Ever consider that there might be a little of both? Arguing about to what extent each is responsible is more likely than totally eliminating one or the other. Human causes assume that greenhouse gases are responsible. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2011/EGU2011-4505-1.pdf

This wiki explains why Warmists believe that humans are responsible for significant climate change: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gases

Dr Roy Spencer explains the Skeptic point of view: http://www.drroyspencer.com/global-warming-natural-or-manmade/

Nelson argues for a little of both http://www.randombio.com/co2.html

This newspaper article explains the net positive feedback theory that supports the notion that climate change is mostly natural: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/252230/An-uncomfortable-lie

This peer reviewed article notices that natural variation over time is enough to explain what we have seen so far: ftp://grads.iges.org/pub/delsole/dir_ipcc/dts_jclim_2010.pdf

Naturally, those that believe that humans are mostly responsible for the recent climate change have written computer models to show what they expect to happen. These models have not proven to be very good at predicting much of anything. http://pielkeclimatesci.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/r-358.pdf

Skeptic models using natural forces have fared no better.
