Hi everyone . I have a school project about air pollution. I was just wondering if you guys think Global warming is a fact, or just a whole load of crap some greenie made up so we wouldnt hurt the tree's feelings. I look forward to hearing your opinions ;D Thanks, Parker

My Personal opinion is that it is just something we dont understand
I think that we are just part of a cycle, it may be a 500, 1000 or 10 000 year cycle. We just dont fully understand it, yet.

I'm torn myself. There is a lot of hype associated with the global warming issue so it is hard to determine what , if any is fact.
Something is definitely happening with our weather and polar caps melting , but this may be a natural cycle , not a greenhouse effect that we can blame on humans.
The cycle was happening long before Humans crawled out of the DNA cesspool.

I don't think we have enough evidence to say whether global warming is or isn't a real concern. We've only seriously studied the weather on this planet for less than 200 years. In fact, it wasn't too terribly long ago that it was thought that the wind had no pattern and just did whatever it felt like. We now know this to be false.
I do not claim that air pollution is not harming the planet, but for a planet that's been around for billions of years, less than 200 isn't even a drop in the bucket. The planet heating up could very well be a natural cycle that happens every so many hundreds or thousands (or even millions) of years.

I look forward to hearing your opinions ;D Thanks, Parker What is your project about? You say you have a project on air pollution but ask about global warming. Are you using one to prove the other or are you saying that air pollution is inherently the same thing as global warming? It is hard to know which way I should be answering.

"Al Gore invented the internet His father invented the interstate His grandfather invented the Automobile and the Assembly Line His great-Grandfather invented the light bulb His 2great-Grandfather stopped slavery His 3great-Grandfather won the war of 1812 His 4great-Grandfather was the first American president His 5great-Grandfather invented the cotton gin His 6great-Grandfather was the first colonist to set foot in America His 7great-Grandfather was the first explorer to set foot in America His 8great-Grandfather started the Renaissance etc" that was all made up. What does he have to do with this? Well, if a guy can claim something outright false and have 100,000 people believe everything he says, then why can't the government try?

I would say we don't have enough factual information to prove anything either way.

I believe that it's a part of a natural cycle that we've mucked up (like most other local cycles we've gotten our hands on). Unfortunately, there are too many positive feedback systems that will only perpetuate it. For example, the heat causes the large masses of ice at our poles to melt. These masses normally deflect much of the sun's light, being white. But as they melt that area is replaced with dark blue ocean water that absorbs most of the light and thereby heats the ocean more, which melts more ice. Of course, this all happens in very small amounts, but that's the beauty of perpetuity... once it's determined to be a real threat, it's too late to stop.

There have continually been drastic temperature changes in the Earth's climate for millions of years. We've all heard of the Ice Age !
I would like to see a change of term to Global Pollution. China and India are the biggest culprits at the moment with the USA coming along behind. In England there's a push for energy saving light bulbs. Big deal. Any energy saved will have already been used in the construction of new equipment and the disposal of old style bulbs. Also one day of gunk from China is worse than the pollution saved through reduction in consumption of our electricity.
Far more damage is being done to the World's climate by the continual destruction of the Rain Forests for wood and land for agriculture.
At the end of the day, Western Governments jump on the bandwagon because it gives then an easy excuse to create taxes.
