The IPCC is a coalition of scientists and they generally agree that global warming is occuring. Some members (though, importantly, few) disagree on the cause(s). Just to clarify, are you arguing that the earth isn't warming or are you arguing about the cause of the warming? |

I'd pull up more graphs but you seem to be arguing about the cause of global warming (e.g.: cyclical trend) and that doesn't appear to be what this thread is about. jubjub and pope are taking the position that there is no warming trend. It's an odd position, in my opinion, as there are plenty of other (more supported) ways to attack global warming theory, but so be it. EDIT: removed praetor from the list of people who don't think the earth is warming. Last edited by Fuckyouformakingmeregister; 03-19-2008 at 08:09 PM.. |

I definitely believe the earth is warming but it will eventually cool again as part of a natural cycle of our planet and has no link to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Suppose the cause of global warming is increased solar radiation. Based on this, you might predict that no one area of the globe would get hotter faster than any other location. Or, if you knew anything about differences in day length across latitudes and/or the effect of the sun's angle on climate, you might predict that the lower latitudes would heat up faster than the higher latitudes.
The data does not support such predictions: ![]() Source: www.ipcc.ch What we see, in fact, is higher latitudes (which get less of the sun's heat and have shorter days) heating up faster than lower latitudes - good grounds for rejecting solar radiation as a cause of warming. Of course, I doubt many of the opponents of global warming theory on this board blamed solar radiation but I gave the example to show you the sort of thing these scientists did. They came up with alternate explanations, ran the numbers, and gradually disproved them one by one until they were left with CO2 levels as a likely cause. |

There was also a decrease in solar activity as well last year, apparantly.
More greenhouse gasses will lead to an increase in temperature. That is really something you can't dispute. There are other factors at play, however, that affect the planet's climate. A year where the temperatures go down doesn't necessarily mean injecting a large amount of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere has no effect on temperature. That said, I still stand by my previous position that disagreeing with global warming does not make it a good idea to refuse to reduce pollution levels. Also, hippies, the world isn't going to end in 50 years due to a massive flood from the melting ice caps, get over it.

I think the earth is a fucked up beast and there's nothing we can do to stop it from doing what it pleases.

But the CO2 increase is still the cause! An increase of CO2 causes the increase of temperatures hundreds of years before! Why can't you see it!?!?

Agreed. Even if global warming turns out to be nonexistent or completely beyond our control, there are plenty of other reasons to cut back on pollution. |

actually you can dispute it. if the gas does not CAUSE global warming then it is not a greenhouse gas. greenhouse gas –noun any of the gases whose absorption of solar radiation is responsible for the greenhouse effect, including carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and the fluorocarbons.
