Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: No, it is a natural cycle.

Exactly, so we should try to avoid authority arguments all together.Yes, but see, that's what is actually happening. It is the developing countries that are landed with the consequences of what developed countries think they should be doing, and so are being forced into positions where they don't have a choice. This is utterly irresponsible, they should be given the same opportunities that developed countries were given, and if that can't be achieved, the same opportunities that developed countries have now in terms of carbon emission per capital.But does the end justify the means? Sure, we can get greener technologies going faster, but is that worth the fear mongering and propaganda? Hitler's goal was world peace, he just happen to think that it should be achieved with him as an overlord of sorts.

Saying that most of the world's biological scientists believe in global warming is not an appeal to authority but an appeal to knowledge. You cannot ignore the fact that the people that know most about this issue all feel the same way.

Side: Yes, we need to take action.

The problem is that we are stuck with the misnomer "Global Warming" because it's a nice, neat, media soundbyte.If you follow the science of meteorology at all, the effects on the environment - raising the temperature enough to melt polar ice caps - is accompanied by extreme winter weather... so the 'warming' isn't really evident when looking at 'average' temperatures.But anyone who thinks that the melting of the polar icecaps and the rise in water levels, increase in hurricane intensities, increase of cyclonic activity, tornadoes, earthquakes and extreme weather isn't related to the amount of pollution in our atmosphere? Needs to go retake 9th grade Earth Science.

Its great to have something to blame everything on.Theres no way to be wrong.If its hot err global warming cold err global warming raining err global warming EARTHQUAKES err Global warming?????You gotta be kidding me.At least look at the other side.

Yes, Global Warming is happening. According to an estimate, after 10 years from now, people will be using skin protectors and temperature controller devices in their homes. According to me, whatever we do now to reduce or eliminate this effect, we cannot control it. Yes, now it is too late and we are helpless. A group of handful activists cannot eliminate this effect, and the rest are uninterested.
Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: No, it is a natural cycle.

Global warming was happening before we got here. It will be here long after. And skin protectors relate to the hole in the ozone and UV radiation, not global warming. We already use temperature controller devices in our homes, it's called air conditioning.

Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: Yes, we need to take action.

Global warming is happening. According to the United States Environmental Protection agency brochure entitled, Frequently Asked Questions About Global Warming and Climate Change: Back to Basics, "Scientists have observed a warming trend beginning around the late 1800s. The most rapid warming has occurred in recent decades. Most of this recent warming is very likely the result of human activities." Also according to the US EPA, "Many human activities release “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere. The levels of these gases are increasing at a faster rate than at any time in hundreds of thousands of years." The earth really is getting hotter. Stated by the Natural Resources Defense Council's website, "Although local temperatures fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history." Fred Singer, a atmospheric physicist and a know global warming skeptic, argures that global warming is not occuring, but Singer is using data from satellites that measure the atmospheric tempurature of the Earth rather that using data that states surface tempuratures of the Earth.

In case anyone doesn't think it's real:Barcelona authorities are having to take the unprecedented step of having to have water brought in by giant tankers. The water levels in the reservoir that feeds the city has sunk so low it's exposed the eerie sight of a medieval village that was flooded when the reservoir was opened in the 1960s. See for yourselves:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7398012.stm And check out this NYT article, "Family Science Project Yields Surprising Data About a Siberian Lake" - Since 1945, Dr. Kozhov, a professor at Irkutsk State University, would record water temperature and clarity and track the plant and animal plankton species as deep as 2,400 feet. Later other family members and now scientist continued his work to find surprising warming of "very deep" water temperatures.Some of these things may be happening naturally, but what level of ignorance would say that "we" don't have something to do with it!

"Cynthia Rosenzweig of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science in New York and scientists at 10 other institutions have linked physical and biological impacts since 1970 with rises in temperatures during that period, including changes to physical systems, such as glaciers shrinking, permafrost melting, and lakes and rivers warming. Impacts also included changes to biological systems, such as leaves unfolding and flowers blooming earlier in the spring, birds arriving earlier during migration periods, and ranges of plant and animal species moving toward the poles and higher in elevation. In aquatic environments such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, plankton and fish are shifting from cold-adapted to warm-adapted communities."

Global warming is happening and i think that everybody should make an action to stop this. It is not too late yet and we should try to do something before its to late. If everybody joins together and make an action we can make a difference and stop this.

Great! Thank you for this great information which I've just gain by stopping here. Infect i am student and was busy in my study but still get time of few minutes to being on your site while searching about my course thesis project which i'm sure will be completed soon. I enjoyed my stay and really like to be here again.

You have to ignore a lot of facts if you deny it's happening. It's highly likely that it's man-made but I don't think that can be proved at the moment.

Global Warming is becoming more of a threat to the planet today than ever before! With our increase in pollution,fossil fuels, and foreign oil. we are steadily melting away the ozone layer which is the result of record setting mass flooding,historical heavy downpours of rain and record setting snowstorms!

Refute this, I dare you 2!! I was just informed, that I need to make this a little longer. I suppose this is because no one has ever proven something so big, with so little!

You have only to look at the devastation all around us to realize that the earth is undergoing major climate change. It's a common misconception that global warming refers only to hotter temperatures. Some of the signs of global warming are increased storms, including tornadoes and hurricanes, more severe winters, and melting of polar ice caps. In the last few months, we have experienced all of these and more. The only question is how we're going to stop global warming, not whether or not it exists.

I personally believe in the science that says global warming is more human caused in the last 150 years, primarily due to the industrial revolution and consequent burning of fossil fuels. Here's what planetsave.com concludes after reviewing several recent studies."The agreement between these studies using a variety of different methods and approaches is quite remarkable. Every study concluded that over the most recent 100-150 year period examined, humans are responsible for at least 50% of the observed warming, and most estimates put the human contribution between 75 and 90% over that period (Figure 2). Over the most recent 25-65 years, every study put the human contribution at a minimum of 98%, and most put it at well above 100%, because natural factors have probably had a small net cooling effect over recent decades (Figures 3 and 4).Additionally, in every study over every timeframe examined, the two largest factors influencing global temperatures were human-caused: (1) GHGs, followed by (2) human aerosol emissions. This is a dangerous situation because as we clean our air and reduce our SO2 emissions, their cooling effect will dissipate, revealing more of the underlying GHG-caused global warming trend. Note that not all studies broke out the effects the same way (i.e. only examining ‘natural’ and not solar or volcanic effects individually), which is the reason some bars appear to be missing from Figures 2 to 4." (see link for graphs)Planetsave (http://s.tt/15jlP)Reportedly, all credible scientists believe the data shows that current global warming is primarily due to human activity.

No shit. Why do you think countless companies, including some FEDERAL agencies, advocate dozens of millions of dollars every year to combating warming? Because it's some propaganda?

Side: Yes, we need to take action.

Global warming is certainly happening. More and more abnormal natural disasters are happening, and the number of extreme weather conditions around the world is increasing rapidly and constantly. The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is now at its highest position over the last 100,000 years.

I wish morons would learn what GW is before saying it is fake
Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: Yes, we need to take action.

we created global warming to begin with so we must take action to stop it. If we don't take action then the Consequences will come around and affect future generations. If we want to create a better future then why do we continue to destroy it by using natural resources and creating CO2. we need to do something before it is too late. if you really think about it future generations wont be able to see things that we have seen such as certain animals. so we must take responsibility and take action.

Who is this "we" that created global warming. Do you mean industrial nations of the world. Action has been attempted for twenty years with no agreement to any serious steps. Why is that is so.

I'll just let this 3 minute video speak for itself:
Debate: Is Global Warming Happening?
Side: No, it is a natural cycle.

I am gonna cry after this. HOW COULD NAT GEO DO THIS??? a. The sunlight's intensity falling on earth is a much bigger factor than the percentage the atmosphere absorbs. "the greenhouse effect begins with the sun, and the energy it radiates towards the earth". Does that not tell you that if the energy of the sun changes, so to will the amount of radiance absorbed?b.'Naturally occurring greenhouse gasses' includes water vapour which is a much greater constituent of global warming than anything else, contributing 95% of the total sunlight energy absorption. Compared to this, Carbon dioxide and Methane don't even measure.c. Did not they begin with 'earth's climate has fluctuated, cycling from ice ages to warmer periods'? Then suddenly humans come along and change it, well, what happened to all the other factors?d. In the last CENTURY, the planet's temperature has risen unusually fast. Global industrialization did not take off until the post WWII boom, which would suggest that temperatures should increase most significantly during the 50's and 60's, however records and ice cores show that in fact, during the 50's, 60's and 70's, the global temperature decreased... what gives? If an external factor affected this, obviously that factor is much more powerful than the combined efforts of the Global economy to pump out CO2d. 'Scientists believe', no, scientists do not believe, they provide impartial evidence for. Also, there has been significant political interference with modern science, a recent survey at the EPA recording that 41% of scientists feel that their work was misrepresented and/or distorted by politicians. So who's opinion is really being broad-casted?e. 'Evidence for global warming includes a recent string of very warm years'. RECENT. Yes, it may indicate global warming, but because it has only been a short spell, you cannot conclude it is a trend.f. 'researchers predict that'. Is that not ambiguous? Who? What qualifications do they hold? How did they research? Was their research valid?g. Focus on possibilities. Yes, it could mean this, or it could mean nothing. Nothing is gained from speculation, rather one should focus on what has happened, and attempt to extrapolate. Better yet, tell us why researchers think this, or that, rather than dwell on possibilities. The most obvious stamp of propaganda is fear, and when one speculates, a lot of bad things can happen.

You should actually read the peer reviewed literature on the subject, ALL of them state that the Earth has natural climate variability. There are a few things you need to know about science before having this debate.1) There is a difference between empirical fact (like 'the Earth's temperature is increasing') and conclusions as to why where there is more than one cause ('90% is manmade, 10% is natural variability'). The second item is ideologically driven (just as it would be if a scientist argued that 10% was manmade), it's as close to guesswork as science is allowed. All the peer reviewed literature on the subject states that there is an unknown amount of natural variability. 2) Continuing the concept in (1), remember that scientists correctly found that Genetics plays a huge part in human health in the late 19th century, where scientists went wrong was the conclusions they drew ('if we don't stop minorities from reproducing, society will suffer'). The debate on global warming has reached this point, taking empirical concepts and giving them political agendas. 3) Keep in mind that when we talk about CO2, we're talking about about 385 ppm (parts per million), or .000385% of the atmosphere. 4) If people were really concerned they would curb meat production, not CO2. Methane contributes more greenhouse gases (by far) than CO2.I don't doubt that the globe is warming, and it's possible if not likely that people have something to do with it. But spending billions or trillions of dollars on fixing a 'problem' when we don't know the extent of it is just a bad idea. That's money that could save lives if applied somewhere else. A perfect example would be biofuels. In the rush to 'save the Earth', millions of people have starved to DEATH (and millions more will still starve). To you, this is academic risk management, but there are real people who will die when people make the wrong decisions about this stuff.

Yes, I agree with A, however the atmosphere still absorbs a percentage of the incoming energy, which does not the argument that the sun is more responsible any less valid.Yes, I also agree with B, but if those 20 degrees are due to natural variation, is it still correct to prevent this?To C, yes, 27 billion sounds like a lot, but consider 220 billion tons released by natural, rotting vegetation, or the 3000 billion tons already in the atmosphere. In relation to volcanoes, a, they release copious amounts of matter every explosion, and these millions of tons of matter include significant portions of particulate matter, that reflect sunlight, and hence the significant drop in temperature, before settling on the ground. Yes, this may have affected global temperatures, and kept them down. Yes this may have also been a significant source of CO2, which would later, after the particulates settle, contribute to the global warming. How can we be sure?Also, yes, I am glad you mentioned that, periodic upward spikes, and the long term trend. What we have seen on earth seems to be a short term trend, so how can we say it isn't the sun?No, actually, it doesn't work it anyone's favour, it reduces the credibility of published scientific work. What is stated is that a scientist's work in relation to a regulation, we do not know whether it is related to global warming or acid rain, and you cannot assume that.And you my dear, should be ashamed for not actually thinking while you read these things. And no, it may not be propaganda, but it may too be propaganda. The greatest fault with our current scientific community is that it values homogeneity, and everyone adheres to the western paradigms. Richard Lindzen was himself criticized for critiquing a scientific report on global warming. It is also interesting that you state E) You may want to have a word with NOAA and every single prestigious scientific and climate-science oriented body in North America and the world right after you assert that scientific research has been tampered with. Indeed, I refer you to the UNIPCC in reference to malaria, "mosquito species that do transmit malaria do not usually survive where the mean winter temperatures drops below 16-18 degrees Celsius", however it is a well established historical fact that in the soviet union in the 1920's suffered a malaria epidemic, the mosquitoes reaching the Arctic circle, so how can you say that it must be the conservatives that are utterly repressing liberal findings without considering liberals suppressing evidence that supports conservative agendas?Moreover, just because an organization has a well respected past does not mean that it will continue to do so. Fox news was once respectable, and now is just a government mouthpiece.And I think we should probably lay off the ad homiems, they don't seem to contribute to the debate.

Side: Yes, we need to take action.

Reading through these one has to wonder, as I have in the past when others of the right have stood up to the majority of scientists, decrying what they propose, why individuals like turpificatus would not at least say something like "Certainly big business and humanity need to curb their emissions of harmful pollutants" or "Even if humans aren't creating the global warming we could try to better our polluting ways and clean things up, just in case because we know what we're doing isn't making our world 'better'." It often reeks of big business agendas, but I suppose could just be an instance of fear (fear that the evidence given is true and so ugly does not want to face) inducing contrary reactions.

"The sunlight's intensity falling on earth is a much bigger factor than the percentage the atmosphere absorbs."But the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth is dictated by how much is absorbed by the atmosphere, so while badly expressed, the program got it right. The amount of heat radiated by the sun may vary naturally, but there's no real chance of permanent changes for hundreds of thousands of years, when it starts to run out of fissile material. Although you say "Global industrialization did not take off until the post WWII boom,", this isn't about globalisation, this is about major industries creating CO2 emissions, and that started with the Industrial Revolution, starting in the late eighteenth century. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_revolution). Major and credible scientific studies have found rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, and it's a pretty much accepted fact that this is causing global warming.
