Effects of Global Warming
Filed Under Global Warming |
Global Warming seems to be a pretty big topic these days and the source of a lot of controversy. There are those who seem to believe humans are destroying the planet through green house gases. Then you have the other side who believe that Global Warming is a hoax. Well I am in the latter category. You see the effects of Global Warming will eventually lead to a reduction of our way of life. This has been exasperated by former Vice President Al Gore’s movie. Here are some of them:
* The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
* The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
* The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
* The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
* The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.
* The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
* The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
* The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.
* The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.
* The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
* The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
What? How can this be? You notice that Al Gore refuses to publicly debate his “theory” with any one who disapproves with his premise. If you are so sure that the world is in peril why not debate the issue and convince the multitude of scientists who refute the claim you are right? Anyway I am getting off track.
The real effects of Global Warming is that we has a species of human beings have been indicted for so-called climate change. But has the temperature really changed all that much? Gore predicted catastrophic hurricanes which never happened. And another thing that defied the Global Warming pundits is that this has been one of the coldest winters on record in the last few decades.
- Another question I have is, what about in the 70’s when there was mass hysteria concerning a new ice age?
- What temperature should the earth be?
- Is it true that cows and other animals produce a lot of the carbon dioxide that enters the atmosphere?
- Who really benefits from carbon credits?
I am going to stop this article now, as it is getting lengthy. But don’t believe the Global Warming hype and the so-called effects. Any questions and comments please feel free to post them.
