The natural cycles argument doesn't hold water on this one.
Additional points:
The concern is not based off of Al Gore's movie. It's based off of thousands of studies by thousands of researchers.
Meteorology and Climatology are not the same field.
Appeals to some grant money (or other) conspiracy does NOTHING to refute the data.
Lying about the issue helps no one. |
First off, tell me what I was lying about. Second of all, in my first post, it says that humans have very little effect on it. Want some proof of this? I happen to have some.
the following is taken from sciencedaily dot com(I would give the link but I don't have 10 posts yet
He cites a 1995 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a panel formed by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme in 1988 to assess the risk of human-induced climate change. In the report, the IPCC wrote that some 90 billion tons of carbon as carbon dioxide annually circulate between the earth's ocean and the atmosphere, and another 60 billion tons exchange between the vegetation and the atmosphere.
Compared to man-made sources' emission of about 5 to 6 billion tons per year, the natural sources would then account for more than 95 percent of all atmospheric carbon dioxide, Essenhigh said.
"At 6 billion tons, humans are then responsible for a comparatively small amount - less than 5 percent - of atmospheric carbon dioxide," he said. "And if nature is the source of the rest of the carbon dioxide, then it is difficult to see that man-made carbon dioxide can be driving the rising temperatures. In fact, I don't believe it does."
