Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
#18
RE: Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
Uhm, no. Global warming comes with erratic and hard to predict and increasingly extreme weather patterns. It was predicted by the IPCC. Global warming is a huge process and you need to understand it in its entirety and not just look for temperature hikes. There has been extensive studies trying to find the cause of the temperature rise and they settled on anthropomorphic causes. The IPCC is written by scientists all around the world combing through a lot of data and fact checking them, it isn't biased towards one government or another or has a "different agenda". The IPCC has several models of the next few decades, including a model that shows the best case scenario, which we've gone too far to achieve. It's pool of data is more expansive and that is important because temperature is not an easy thing to measure, you need a huge data pool for the statistics to work properly.

I don't want to get into a "debate" where I basically just keep digging up papers and paste them here. Global warming for me is as solid as evolution, if I'm not mistaken, like evolution, global warming is also only controversial in the US. Your politicians have been spilling a lot of bs on this topic, I've taken environmental chemistry courses as well as other ecology courses and global warming comes up consistently and is treated as fact. I have seen the data myself as well.

This is the Met office (same one the link claimed said global warming stalled), releasing a report saying they expect rises and record temperatures in the following years: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/release...-forecasts

CO2 going into the ocean is also not the end of the problem, it acidifies the ocean and endangers biodiversity because it dissolves calcium, affecting corals, temperature rising also causes coral bleaching, which causes them to die. As most of you would know, corals are very important to biodiversity. And when biodiversity gets messed up, a lot of shit gets messed up.

I really just want to say that you need to look this up, you need to take time and really study how global warming affects everything and then take a good look at the data and come to a conclusion. Not see a news paper article and then think that everything is fine or that "scientists can't make up their mind". Their minds are pretty much made up on this topic, it's just a lot of interests ride on environmental policies and news reporting gets really biased. So that's not your best source of information.
