Global Warming?

[CreativeRandom]

I would like to hear "The Other Side" of the argument on Greenhouse gases and global warming. I've heard the normal liberal rant, and have taken a few classes on the subject as well.

So, do greenhouse gases exist because of humans? I have heard faintly that animals and bonfires cause more gas, but I'm unknowledgeable on the exacts. Also, I would appreciate numeric info on US contribution to global warming / greenhouse gas compared to other countries - France, Former Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, third world countries like Zimbabwe....

And of global warming. Is it caused by industrialization? Should we be worried? Is it a risk? Is the artic circle going to be gone by 2070 like the UK newspaper stated?

All input appreciated.

Go get Michael Crichton's 'State of Fear' -- very good read and he does expose a lot of the crap that poses as science these days.

Why don't we just ban all greenhouses?

Here's a quickstart...
Look at the line for keywords just below your posted message.
Click on the "GLOBALWARMING" keyword and you'll go right to the
threads that have also had that keyword tagged to them.

I don't have specific figures on hand, but can tell you that flatulence
from cows, etc. puts a load of gases into the air. Some of our prime
agricultural research universities have done work to try to reduce this
venting of pollution to the atmosphere.

One volcanic eruption releases more greenhouse gasses and ozone depleting chemicals that all of human history. Yet the earth has survived 4 billion years of volcanic eruptions.

No matter what a person believes about "global warming"....does anybody really believe a bunch of politicians are going to pass some laws to roll back global temperatures? They can't even balance a budget. So Super Liberal Yuppieish to believe that the earth is some Volvo where you can just turn a knob and make your sweatheart feel more comfortable by turning down the temperature.....how laughable.....Super Liberal Yuppies make me sick.

The first thing you have to realize is that environmentalism is a big business, as big as the businesses they claim to fight against. Every time there is an alternate study, they claim it is just spin by ‘big business’.. the same challenge can be made against their claims..

But, as for the science behind global warming, there are many challenges to the model including conflicting data, inaccurate readings, reverse correlations, and just plain bad conclusions. But don’t take my word for it:

  Of course, the enviros will claim that these are all just spin from ‘big business’ and their scientists are beyond reproach.. BS…

Just watching the Discovery Channel or Science Channel today and Volcanoes seem to be the topic of the day, anyway I was surprised to learn that on any given day 23 (known) Volcanoes are erupting, many more undersea (unknown/undiscovered) Volcanoes are erupting as well.

So, if there is global warming there is good news and bad. The good news, winter sucks. Expensive, cold, dangerous, gloomy, cabin fever kind of stuff. Global warming means the end of winter? Probably a myth. Bad news, everything the pseudo scientists say will come to pass, will be the bad news.

Probably also a myth. So, don't worry be happy, the flood happened 6,000 years ago. Warming is everything we need to make the world capable of growing crops in the arctic and antarctica. Ask yourself what self interest folks might have to make global warming a fear issue in the hearts of "normal" folks.

Greenhouse gases exist because of nature. Compared to that, human emissions of greenhouse gases are tiny.
