When I was your age, the scientists were preaching about the impending ice age caused by man.
Global temperature swings can be caused more quickly by the sun than anything else. Volcanoes come in a distant second. Man is negligible.
Oh yeah, and the guy below me is a name caller. Take him seriously. Check him out. He acknowledges that stats can be faked (yes I am quite familiar with stats which is why I don’t put credence in them alone) but then quotes a bogus stat about 10000 and 2. I’ll wager he cannot quote even 5 out of 10000 sources to back up his position. (Keep in mind many studies base their work on previous studies, so you better read each one and check their sources as well, or you will be quoting essentially one source.)
And yet ice ages are caused by global warming, Are you sure? Maybe the global warming is caused by the ice age.. in that case shouldn’t we warm the place up to stop it?
Are you aware of the immensity of the amount of energy the sun puts out? Are you aware that it is not a constant? Do you realize that if the sun stopped burning right now, the earth would begin to cool in about 8 minutes? The sun is a huge part of this equation. Since the sun is, according to science, 4.57 billion years old and lets say that we could collect complete data from glaciers from the last 750 million years, thats still only the last 16% of the lifespan of the sun. Is that enough data to know what cycles the sun will go through in the next 50 years?
Within the last 535 million years there have been 5 mass extinctions not caused by man, (again according to science).
The truth is, science has been wrong over and over and over again, and each generation thinks it is the most enlightened.
You will find conflicting "studies" on every issue that is demagogued as this one is. Consider what a "study" is. Consider how statistics are used to reflect a researchers opinions. Be more skeptical when someone starts spouting the results of a study. Witness how many times science has changed it’s position on cholesterol in the last 30 years. Try reading a debunking site as well as the official Al Gore site.
Wait, he was nominated for a peace prize.. well everything he says must be true. Thank, you Mr Gore for inventing the internet so we can have Y!A.
