Man Made Global Warming

What is it?

The global warming theory goes like this; When heat from the sun comes to earth, it warms us and escapes.

When man puts more carbon dioxide into the air, it traps the heat in the atmosphere and causes the temperature to go up.

This is known as the greenhouse effect.

How could it hurt us?

If the temperature were to rise 3-4 degrees in the polar regions, the ice caps would melt, destroying polar bear=s habitat, and causing the sea level 10-12 feet. This would submerge a large percentage of the coasts to be consumed. It would also cause more hurricanes. The extra heat would also destroy a large portion of the crops to die. It could easily kill millions of people.

Is it the theory true?

No. The theory is not true. Man does not cause global warming. There are pages and pages and pages of reasons why it is false. Here are a few:

Carbon dioxide is a gas produced by all living things. You create it. Volcanoes emits carbon dioxide. Animals emits carbon dioxide. Bacteria emits carbon dioxide. Dying vegetation emits carbon dioxide. The ocean emits carbon dioxide Of all the carbon dioxide created, man creates less than 10%

About 800 years ago, during the medieval era, it was a lot warmer than it is now. It was warm enough that in the south of England they had vineyards. The polar bears are still with us today, so obviously they survived that warm spell.

In an ice core survey, the ice is drilled into. Then scientists look at the atmosphere trapped inside the ice. They can tell what the atmosphere was like, and if it was hot or cold. Ice core surveys have shown that carbon dioxide is directly related to the temperature. But, it has the wrong relation

The carbon dioxide in the air FOLLOWS the temperature. If the global warming theory was true than the temperature would follow the carbon dioxide. The reason there is more carbon dioxide in the air when it is warmer has to do with the ocean. When the ocean is heated, it releases more carbon dioxide in to the air. When it cools, it takes carbon dioxide in.
