Solar Cycles Cause Global Warming & Cooling, not Humans - 0 views

  • Planetary warming has also been observed on Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and on Neptune's largest moon Triton during the decades following the peak of the "Solar Grand Maximum" - wonder why - there are no humans there!
  • And Pluto is moving further from the sun in its orbit,
  • it should be cooling, but instead it is warming.

  • due to solar changes rather than mere human antics.
  • t Earth's oceans are now beginning to cool.
  • The Earth heats up after a Solar Grand Maximum, lagging a bit after the peak. With a Solar Grand Minimum now on its way, a "global cooling" is on the horizon--a natural oscillation occurring in much longer solar cycles.
  • continue to ignore all of this, perpetuating fear and advocating spending billions of dollars on non-solutions.
  • humans contribute to greenhouse gases,
  • the overall effect is a tiny fraction compared to natural causes.
  •  
    Humans ARE NOT the cause of Global Warming. Against my argument.

Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says - 0 views

  • our planet's recent climate changes have a natural
  • and not a human-induced
  • controversial theory.

  • Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. (Get an overview: "Global Warming Fast Facts".)
  • "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
  • Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.
  • Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun's heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets
  • ice ages throughout their histories.
  • "Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance," Abdussamatov said.
  • Abdussamatov believes he can see a pattern that fits with the ups and downs in climate we see on Earth and Mars.
  • has not been well received by other climate scientists.
  •  
    From a reliable source, National Geographic, they say that Global Warming's main cause MAY NOT be humans, though in fact solar. Against my argument.

White House report says people cause global warming - 27 August 2004 - New Scientist - 0 views

  • White House report says people cause global warming
  • People are responsible for the spike in global warming in the last 30 years, says a new US government report.
  • enact policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Our Changing Planet
  • climate change research by 13 government agencies.
  • The document reports that global warming in the first half of the 20th century, estimated at 0.2°C above pre-industrial temperatures, "was likely due to natural climate variation", including increased solar activity.
  • can only be explained when factors related to human activity
  • "There's nothing else we can blame it on, really,"
  • "If we don't put the changes in carbon dioxide into our models, we don't get global warming out."
  • "Well over 98% of scientists competent in this area would agree with that," he told New Scientist.
  • "The big question is what effect this will have on climate policy," Janetos told New Scientist.
  • that would be big news indeed."
  • Trenberth agrees, saying Bush's policy thus far has been to "take whatever nature throws at us
  • "Bush has said that if we do something about emissions, it will hurt the economy,"
  • Others experts have lobbied the government to regulate carbon dioxide through the Clean Air Act.
  • "This research will help decision makers and managers in the US and other countries evaluate and respond to climate change."

    According to the white house, humans are the main cause. Reliable source.
