Since I was about 13 I have heard that man has been destroying the planet with his admissions of carbon monoxide into the earths atmosphere. and there are a few reasons why i don't buy it
This is what science says global warming is or so they claim .
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.
The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations" via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.
Now I am not saying that earth isn't warming up, what I am questioning is- is weather or not this is just a natural occurrence of the earth... The reason I ask this is go look at your record highs for yor surrounding area's- which you can find on the weather channels web site. What i found while doing this was that the record highs were set in the early 1900's... While the record lows were set in the modern day which in fact is exactly back wards of what global warming is. According to them we should be setting the record highs every year as the temps rise not setting the record lows.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory performed a simulation to determine if there is a statistical trend in the frequency or strength of cyclones over time. The simulation concluded "the strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere".[
Another thing we are hearing is that we are getting more hurricanes in the Atlantic and they are becoming more powerful and more destructive, just like that study claims. But what they don't tell you is that Katrina is the worst named storm on record. Something they also don't tell you is that, that unnamed storms aren't even included in the data of that study. So what if i were to tell you that the worst hurricane on record wasn't Katrina but an unnamed storm in 1900 that hit Galveston TX . Don't believe me take a look at the NOAA track of this storm http://maps.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes/viewer.html?QE=NAME&ATLBASIN=371 but since the storm isn't a named storm no body knows about it. Another thing that most people don't stop to realize is that the fact is that hurricanes today are more destructive because of how hot the weather is or isn't, it's due to the simple fact that more people are living in coastal cities, so their is more to destroy. They don't blame a shark attack on being less fish in the ocean to eat- no they blame the shark attack on the fact that there is more people in the water this day in age. so why are hurricanes any different?
anouther thing we hear is that the polar ice caps are melting and that we have more droughts because of this. OK are you scratching your head as well here . The first thing we are taught in Elementary Science is that rain is formed from the ocean it evaporates the sea water then that gets blown on shore, and that is what causes our Storm systems. So if the Polo ice caps are melting and putting more water into the oceans shouldn't we be having more rain and not less? Also most of the tempters in the USA and other country's is controlled by the gulf stream so you have all that cold fresh water being pumped into the gulf stream then the temps should be going down not up. this has happened before and it was known as the little ice age .
So this is why i have such a hard time buying global warming, when all the simple fact's point the other way. That this is a normal trend that the earth goes through from time to time. Now you may ask why do they then tell all this stuff then? Have you ever thought that they don't know and are to afraid to admit that man may not know all the answers yet? So they blame it on man it's self because they don't know. and every body buys that fact because we have a bad tract recored for these types of things.
