I really dont know much about it so I was doing some research and I found this website,

http://www.middlebury.net/op-ed/global-warming-01.html

the article is really long so I dont expect you to read it (unless you really want to) so here’s the summary that was towards the end of the article

1. The "Greenhouse Effect" is a natural and valuable phenomenon, without which, the planet would be uninhabitable.

2. Modest Global Warming, at least up until 1998 when a cooling trend began, has been real.

3. CO2 is not a significant greenhouse gas; 95% of the contribution is due to Water Vapor.

4. Man’s contribution to Greenhouse Gasses is relatively insignificant. We didn’t cause the recent Global Warming and we cannot stop it.

5. Solar Activity appears to be the principal driver for Climate Change, accompanied by complex ocean currents which distribute the heat and control local weather systems.

6. CO2 is a useful trace gas in the atmosphere, and the planet would actually benefit by having more, not less of it, because it is not a driver for Global Warming and would enrich our vegetation, yielding better crops to feed the expanding population.

7. CO2 is not causing global warming, in fact, CO2 is lagging temperature change in all reliable datasets. The cart is not pulling the donkey, and the future cannot influence the past.

8. Nothing happening in the climate today is particularly unusual, and in fact has happened many times in the past and will likely happen again in the future.

9. The UN IPCC has corrupted the "reporting process" so badly, it makes the oil-for-food scandal look like someone stole some kid’s lunch money. They do not follow the Scientific Method, and modify the science as needed to fit their predetermined conclusions. In empirical science, one does NOT write the conclusion first, then solicit "opinion" on the report, ignoring any opinion which does not fit their predetermined conclusion while falsifying data to support unrealistic models.

10. Polar Bear populations are not endangered, in fact current populations are healthy and at almost historic highs. The push to list them as endangered is an effort to gain political control of their habitat… particularly the North Slope oil fields.

11. There is no demonstrated causal relationship between hurricanes and/or tornadoes and global warming. This is sheer conjecture totally unsupported by any material science.

12. Observed glacial retreats in certain select areas have been going on for hundreds of years, and show no serious correlation to short-term swings in global temperatures.

13. Greenland is shown to be an island completely surrounded by water, not ice, in maps dating to the 14th century. There is active geothermal activity in the currently "melting" sections of Greenland.

14. The Antarctic Ice cover is currently the largest ever observed by satellite, and periodic ice shelf breakups are normal and correlate well with localized tectonic and geothermal activity along the Antarctic Peninsula.

15. The Global Warming Panic was triggered by an artifact of poor mathematics which has been thoroughly disproved. The panic is being deliberately nurtured by those who stand to gain both financially and politically from perpetuation of the hoax.

16. Scientists who "deny" the hoax are often threatened with loss of funding or even their jobs.

17. The correlation between solar activity and climate is now so strong that solar physicists are now seriously discussing the much greater danger of pending global cooling.

18. Biofuel hysteria is already having a disastrous effect on world food supplies and prices, and current technologies for biofuel production consume more energy than the fuels produce.

19. Global Warming Hysteria is potentially linked to a stress-induced mental disorder.

20. In short, there is no "climate crisis" of any kind at work on our planet.

I’m just looking for opinions about this matter or contradicting articles on the web.

Do you think people are causing global warming?

Sorry about the length, but a lot of people won’t click on links. This sounds like a cover-up to me - your thoughts?

The Environmental Protection Agency is stifling a report hostile to the agency’s global warming agenda, a free-enterprise group revealed.

The EPA is keeping the report under wraps and silencing its author because the Obama administration is pressuring it to support carbon dioxide regulations, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy group dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government.

The suppressed report warns that the EPA’s adoption of the United Nations’ 2007 “Fourth Assessment” means that it is relying on outdated research and ignoring major new developments on the issue of climate change.

The enterprise institute, which released the report by analyst and economist/physicist Alan Carlin, explained that those new developments include the continued decline in global temperatures, a new consensus that hurricanes will not be more frequent or intense, and new findings that water vapor will moderate, rather than exacerbate, temperature.

Other new data indicates that ocean cycles probably are the most important single factor in explaining temperature fluctuations, though solar cycles may play a role as well, the institute said. Moreover, reliable satellite data undercut the likelihood of endangerment from greenhouse gases.

All of this demonstrates that the EPA should analyze the science independently, rather than just adopt the conclusions of outside organizations such as the United Nations, the institute said.

The institute’s general counsel, Sam Kazman, explained its release of the report by saying, “While we hoped the EPA would release the final report, we’re tired of waiting for this agency to become transparent, even though its administrator has been talking transparency since she took office. So we are releasing a draft version of the report ourselves."

How do cold fronts produce stormy weather?

A.Warm moist air ahead of the front is uplifted as the front passes, causing the moisture to condense and precipitate.
B.Cold air behind the front causes the water vapor to evaporate, producing the storm.
C.The warm air mixes with the cold air along the front, creating low pressure and storms.
D.The cold air holds more water vapor than the warm air, thus it must precipitate out as rain or snow.

What is a wave cyclone?
A.It is a type of cold frontal uplift that occurs in waves along a squall line.
B.It is the rise in sea level of the water underneath a hurricane.
C.It is a spiraling storm system at the boundary between the polar air and the warm mid-latitude air.
D.It is the process of storm development over the mountains as air is uplifted by the mountain slopes.

It seems the scientific community is bought by special interests, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Scientists take facts and make conclusions or theory from them. In this global warming farce they have not only falsified data on warming. Placed sensors in locations affected by artificial heat sources, which is documented. They have over stated what is a completely flimsy set of facts, ignoring all facts which don’t go along with them, which are also the extremely higher preponderance of the facts on weather the earth is warmed. Example, you can measure wind velocity on a fart, it is measurable. You can measure carbons and methane’s heating effect on radiation (and leave out the fact that water vapor heats at a rate of 3x higher than carbon, and methane is a mere very minor trace element in the atmosphere and that the variables on methane production in nature are 1000s of x what human influenced contributions could possibly be) You can measure anything. To say it adds a significant contribution? Well, it’s like taking the fact that you can measure a fart’s wind velocity, and making the assertion that people who point their farts to correspond with the direction of hurricane winds actually contribute to the overall speed and volume of the wind … yes they do, it’s a fact! BUT … what is the total effect on the hurricane? What if people were so ignorant that they believed those who would gain politically and profit from the assertion that those who farted with a hurricane were bringing on destruction of planet earth? That’s how intelligent those who buy into the anthropological global warming farce that will give many political control over people, and will make those same people’s supporters billions of $$ … how stupid are we? really?

I don’t expect someone to fully answer these all for me, but Earth Science is a very weak subject for me and i’d like to do well. So if someone could at least help me out by eliminating one or two wrong answers that would amazing. Thank you all very much. Have a wonderful day and God bless.

For those of you that wish to do a little research instead of following what some scientific advocate says here are some simple facts you do the math and use a little rational thinking
the first set is the percentage of gas in the atmosphere
Gases in atmosphere
Nitrogen (N2) 78.084%
Oxygen (O2) 20.946%
Argon (Ar) 0.934%
Carbon dioxide (CO2) 0.0383 %
Neon (Ne) 0.001818 %
Helium (He) 0.000524 %
Methane (CH4) 0.0001745 %
Krypton (Kr) 0.000114%
Hydrogen (H2) 0.000055 %
There is also a varying amount of water vapor, depending on the altitude and conditions where it is measured.
A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the earth’s atmosphere.

This web site shows what % of CO2 is created by man and what % is created by nature
Man= 3.225%
Nature= 96.775%
So if we do the math and take the entire atmosphere we are responsible for .009 of it that is less than 1/10 of 1% I got to admit I am impress. How the hell did we get so full of ourselves. How is our % going to be more than the equivalent of farting in a hurricane. Your thoughts.

The amount of illogic and gobblegook replied was astounding it is quite obvious most of you never bother to read the question fully How in god’s name can 3.2% of .03% affect the earth…hey maybe if I stop breathing out CO2 the earth will start going into a deep freeze
