Global Warming: Not Caused by Man

Many people think global warming is caused by carbon dioxide sent in to the air by burning fossil fuels such as in cars, but there is more carbon dioxide coming in and out of the atmosphere in the natural water cycle.

Some of the cause is in the arctic; the polar ice caps are melting faster than it can be evaporated .This process may be reversed in 10-20 years. Humans are only responsible for less than 3 % of all the carbon dioxide (greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.

Geologists Nicholas Chackleton and Neil Opdyke both from Cambridge University wrote in a quaternary research journal. Estimating the average world temperature has been slowly increasing over the last one million years, long before the human industries started releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

People think Carbon dioxide sent in to the atmosphere today will affect people hundreds of years later. But the truth is Carbon Dioxide has a life span of 20 years. After 20 years, it disappears from the atmosphere all together.

The sun actually has little to do with actually heating the atmosphere with its high frequency radiation. Something as hot as the sun can't give off low frequency radiation called infrared. Instead, the sun's rays heats the Earth's surface, this weakens the radiation to infrared. From there it moves in to the earth's atmosphere by any means necessary (Conduction, convection, evaporation). Then the inferred radiation is absorbed by the CO2.

Ninety seven percent of the heat in the atmosphere gets there either through convection or evaporation, and not greenhouse gasses. The climate now days have made minimal changes compared to the dinosaur ages. Water evaporation is a bigger cause of global warming than carbon dioxide by at least 100 times.

Research from Bud Clydesdale:

The earth has been here for more than 4 billion years. The human industry has only been around for around 200 years. The earth has been warming since the dinosaur ages. Without a doubt, humans have caused minimal changes to our environment as it is already warming itself. Nature is sending Carbon dioxide in to out atmosphere by natural disasters. For example, the eruption of Mt. St Helens has sent more carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere than humans have for over decades. In fact, that eruption actually caused global cooling of 1 degree.

According to scientific researcher Tim Ball, who has received a PhD from Cambridge University, the earth goes through a natural Climate cycle. In 1940-1980, the earth was actually facing global cooling. In 1980-2020, the earth's temperature should be reversing, and gradually start warming naturally.

This is my opinion, the earth used to have frozen rivers, and frozen mountains, but since humans came to live, more and more carbon dioxide has been inserted in to the atmosphere. It is not because of Burning fossil fuels, but because humans breathe. It's not our fault we breathe, it's completely natural. Humans must breathe to survive. For example, more and more babies are born everyday; they all breathe and release Carbon Dioxide in to the atmosphere.

Human input to the greenhouse gasses are as much as 1% more per year more than last year's average. If 1% is that great of a difference, then all like on earth would have been destroyed long ago.

I completely agree with you, all this research you did was amazing.

Yeah,it's awesome but.. if it's possible,can you add in how many years the earth would be completely destroyed if we don't do anything to lessen global warming?

It will probably be destroyed in 80 years, it will be so bad we wont be able to fly planes in the atmosphere or boats in our oceans. Eventually the earths crust will be as hot as the suns surface, which means it will just melt into the mantle. So that means we will move to Mars! Until we also over-heat it with our pollution too.

yo u have no idea for about how long before the world will be destoyed stupid Attila dont talk unless you have proof!!!!!

i've also heard that the earth never fully came out of it's ice age and now it's thawing and people made up global warming...it's completly natural...........

Basically you got it right except the sun does effect climate as most of the warming energy comes from it. The suns radiance output fluctuates with sunspots as an indicator of it.

Ice and snow cover, as well as clouds, effect how much radiation is absorbed. Humans effect it by land changes such farming and deforestation. The burning of coal and oil has resulted in more particulates to be released back before the EPA came online to regulate emissions. Scientist think that this has contributed to ice and snow melt by changing the albedo of those areas. They also think it initially acted as a solar filter that caused some cooling initially.

When the oceans heat up they will release a large volume of CO2 which can explain most of the increase. Ice core researchers noticed that the CO2 increases of the past lagged temperature increase by 500~800 years, and they point to this effect as a gas law property.

I don\'t think that humans contribute that much CO2 by breathing and fossil fuels exceed that by some factor. But natural CO2 and methane emissions, exceed human caused, by something like 19x.

Also H2O is a potent GHG and surpasses the mi\'nute amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere. New research shows that the cumulative radiative effects of CO2 decreases, with it\'s increase, due to a radiative blind effect.

The IPCC has grossly exaggerated the warming effect of CO2, that\'s becoming evident as the temps are decreasing with the suns radiance. Lookup Solomon\'s \'Denier\' series on Global Warming. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost

I leave you to research the facts:

Utter nonsense perpetuated by left wing propoganda to keep us all under control and paying maximum tax. we should not flatter ourselves by believing we have any bearing on this planet that has existed for billions of years, the emmisions we create is equivalent to a tear drop in the worlds seas multiplied by 10 billion the human race is a blip in this planet's existence. the lesbian,feminist,man hating contingent of the Labour party have infiltrated politics and are imposing all of their hatred upon all of us. These bitter and twisted individuals were once protesting activists smashing up high street shops in the name of anti capitalism not so long ago.

Thank you, as you have helped with my daughters global warming debate. She is against humans being responsible for global warming and this site won her the debate. Again, thank you.
#18 by YouSuck, Oct 23, 2008
Hahaha, Global warming caused by humans breathing. That´s HILARIOUS, what a ridiculous theory.
