Debate: Is global warming an issue?
Side: No

NASA seems to be your only source. Although NASA has done some pretty incredible things, they're not always right.-Former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer is quoted saying that the climate models used by government agencies "have failed miserably."-James Hansen of NASA predicted that the West Side Highway in New York would be under water by now due to global warming.Now let's move on to other predictions gone wrong, shall we?-In the documentary called An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore predicted that all of the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013.Need more?-The co-founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, was in an interview about a week ago admitting that global warming is a huge myth. He said that it was "bad-bad science."-31,000 scientists signed a petition saying that global warming is not caused by humans.-As I said before, ClimateGate is a huge scientific scandal basically exposing that "credible" scientists have lied about global warming. Emails that were leaked showing conversations between scientists at the Hadley Climatic Research Unit at Britain's University of East Anglia show that they were talking about doubt or SCIENTIFIC WEAKNESS in the global warming theory. They were even planning to evade legal requests for their data, which violated the Freedom of Information Act stated in the United States Constitution.The ice caps are increasing and I do have the sources to prove it:http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2014/05/15/someone-tell-record-polar-ice-cap-it-should-be-meltinghttp://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2013/09/23/antarctic-sea-ice-hit-35-year-record-high-saturday/http://www.newsmax.com/SciTech/north-pole-ice-cap/2014/08/31/id/591899/ The greenhouse effect would work if the Earth was somehow surrounded by glass or something similar to trap the heat. Heat can get into the atmosphere just as well as it can escape. CO2 DOES NOT TRAP HEAT. Look at the facts. Look at the percentages in the atmosphere and then look at the specific heat. Any logical person would realize that CO2 does not trap any significant amount of heat.The fact that CO2 comes out of cars and factories doesn't mean anything to me. I just proved to you that CO2 is not harmful to the environment and it is food for the trees to make more oxygen for us to breathe.The temperature of the Earth has NOT changed in 17 years. I don't know how else to explain this to you.http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2013/08/21/the-new-york-times-global-warming-hysteria-ignores-17-years-of-flat-global-temperatures/ http://www.climatedepot.com/2014/05/04/global-temperature-update-no-global-warming-at-all-for-17-years-9-months/ As for the greenhouse effect, there are recently some scientists that say CO2 isn't even a greenhouse gas. Besides that, it contains so little heat that even with "increasing CO2 levels," it would not have any effect on Earth ant its atmosphere, especially the temperature.Sadly, you've decided to look past the basic fundamental facts of science. Put together the pieces yourself. You'd much rather have the "scientists over at NASA" tell you what to think. Do the research. Break it down and you'll realize that even the "brilliant scientists at NASA" are not always right. If you still don't see that humans are not the cause of global warming, I don't think there is anyone who can get past your wall of ignorance. Not even if the scientists at NASA told you that you were wrong. And to say that I'm more politically driven than interested in how science works is extremely ignorant. I'm looking at the facts and putting it together instead of someone telling me what is true with no actual facts behind it.
