Does the sun control the temperature of the earth? Are the ice caps melting?

Question

What do you think? Do you believe the propaganda? Do you think we should tax everyone's anus? Do you think we are causing the earths temperature to rise? And, if you don't believe it, then do you believe that the measures being discussed by our government and the world community are part of a bigger plan/conspiracy to gain control of populations an further regulate the people of earth to usher in a new global control..?

Answer 1

Given the number of people who would have to be "in on it" global tax conspiracies are nonsense as are the theories of the U.N. wanting to control the world. While winter and summer cycles still continue with global warming the Arctic is certainly showing a downward trend over the last couple of decades the summer size of the ice is plainly and obviously shrinking.

The Sun is the primary source of heat for the Earth and the Sun does change output but it hasn't markedly changed output since satellite records began 30 years ago but the Earth has warmed right through this period.

The power of the Sun falls with distance Mercury is closest and should be hottest, Venus is next and should be much cooler but it's atmosphere makes it hotter than Mercury. Earth is next and without GH gases would be about 30c cooler than it is, out to Pluto at -218c.

The NSIDC is just one of many groups collecting data on climate around the world from the U.K to Asia, the rest of Europe, Australia and the U.S. while there is some dispute over the scale of the change there is no dispute that it is happening.

Answer 2

The sun obviously affects Earth's temperature, but it's not the only influence. Stick with science and not conspiracy. This is not some plan to create a world government!

Answer 3

hi buddy dis z krishna rao..



exactly... nowadays earth's temperature is being raised gradually.

recently scientists has discovered that there z a big hole in the ozone layer so that some harmfull radiations can pass thru.'.

but as u say the measures that has been taken by the govt. will neither satisfy the earth nor the sun..

as u say the ice caps are being melted down and dis z due to some green house gases which will reflect the heat radiation to earth for and for..



so if you are very much worried about this.

i can suggest few things...

1.automobile pollution must be reduced.

2.plant more plants.

3.avoiding usage of "cfc" perfumes.

4.avoiding burning of plastics

5.reducing the level of using plastics..



are these conditions can be followed..?

may be u can try.. but the society not...!

Answer 4

I have heard some strange ones but this article blames rice farming in the far east, wood fire places and bon fires in Europe for our current warming starting 8,000 years ago. The kooks are searching for any way to blame humanity because we are not in a major glacial age right now.

And yes it is the sun that controls whether the world is hot or cold. Just how cold has it gotten in the last 2 years since the sunspot cycle went low and stayed there instead of rising again.

Answer 5

Earth always goes through climate changes by its own..this time we are doing it. and no, it's not a propaganda-its real. YOu can feel it in the air and in the fact that there are np reasons, no ice, no cold.COntrol could be good for once. US must realize that it's time to change its environmental habits.

Answer 6

You many have noticed the alarmists are very quiet about the other ice caps, the one in the south pole, since not only are they not melting, but they are expanding.



The agenda for global warming is not so much about control, but the belief that economic growth, fueled by energy consumption is "rapping the earth". (words of the eco fanatics and not mine)

Answer 7

The ice really is melting,

Answer 8

Yes and Yes.

Answer 9

its easy enough to find out;

oh yes, the ice really is melting, you can even see it from space.

Answer 10

the polar ice caps are melting, and they can be seen from earth!



THE MARS POLAR ICE CAPS!!!!!!!!!!



does this mean that we are causing global warming on Mars too?

Answer 11

It don`t matter now, all the polar bears are dead
