Top Ten Reasons Climate Change is a Hoax

TopTenAlGore2

By Elmer Beauregard

The Senate voted this week on whether Climate Change is real or a hoax, I think it’s a hoax and here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard in the news that 2014 was supposed to be the hottest year ever. If it actually was “hottest year ever” you’d think all the terrible calamities that are supposed to happen would be happening now but instead the opposite is happening.

1. Record Ice

In 2014 there was record sea ice in Antarctica  in fact a global warming expedition got stuck in it. Arctic sea ice has also made a nice comeback in 2014. The Great lakes had record ice Lake Superior only had 3 ice free months in 2014. You’d think that in the hottest year ever that ice would be melting like Al Gore said.

2. Record Snow

2014 saw record snowfall in many areas, remember when they said that global warming would cause snow to disappear and children won’t know what snow is.

3. Record Cold

In 2014 we saw all kinds of cold records remember the Polar Vortex? You’d think that we’d be breaking all kinds of heat records in “the hottest year ever”

4. Oceans Are Rising Much Less Than Predicted

Al Gore predicted that oceans would rise 20 feet by 2100, it looks like were on track for about a foot. 80% of the tide gauges show less rise than the official “global average”. Many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years.

5. Polar Bears Are Thriving

You’d think that Polar Bears would really be in trouble in 2014 “the hottest year ever” but they are thriving.

6. Moose Are Making A Comeback

A few years ago the moose population in Minnesota dropped rapidly and they immediately blamed global warming, then they did a study and found out it was actually wolves that were killing the moose. Wolves have been taken off the endangered species list and are now endangering other species so they opened a wolf hunting season in Minnesota and the moose are coming back. It turns out it had nothing to do with global warming in fact the years when the moose population declined were some very cold ones.

7. 99% of Scientists don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming

You’ve probably heard over and over that 99% of scientist believe in global warming well the opposite is true. That talking point came from a study where only 75 scientists said they believe in global warming on the other hand over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying they don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming.

8. Nature produces much more CO2 than man

In 2014 NASA finally launched a satellite that measures CO2 levels around the globe. They assumed that most of the CO2 would be coming from the industrialized northern hemisphere but much to their surprise it was coming from the rainforests in South America, Africa and China.

9. It Isn’t Actually the Warmest Year.

If you look at the satellite data 2014 was not the warmest year ever in fact there has been no global warming for over 18 years. The Reason they can say it’s the warmest year is because they are using the ground weather station data which is heavily influenced by the Urban Heat Island effect, many of which are near pavement. Even still they had to cherry pick that data to get at the warmest year ever and it is only the warmest by only two-100ths of a degree within a dataset that has a variability of a half of a degree. The fact they they had to ignore accurate data and fudge sketchy data to push their agenda proves (IMHO) that climate change is a hoax.

10. The Hypocrisy of the Main Players

One of the main reasons you can tell that global warming is a hoax is that the main purveyors of global warming live lifestyles opposite of what they preach, they all own multiple large homes and yachts and they fly around the world in private jets pushing their propaganda. Not to mention some people such as Al Gore actually profit from Carbon Taxes and other green energy laws. If they actually believed what they preached they would be leading quite different lives.

    Your points are horrifically anecdotal!! This misconception that climate change/global warming leads to higher average temperatures everywhere is indicative of a lack of even a very basic knowledge of climate science. Please stop listening to the money and actually educate yourself, then form an opinion and whatever it is at least it will be somewhat informed.

    Thanks for the article and website. None of your top 10 reasons point to the real biggest flaw however: it is impossible for CO2 to be the cause of global warming! Even more impossible for the human-created portion to be the cause. This recent article proves it: http://bloggingnetworkonline.com/keepitreal/a-simple-analysis-to-quickly-settle-the-agw-climate-change-debate/

  9. Daniel Huff December 8, 2015 at 6:09 pm #

    Yes, I am not convinced that Global Warming is happening by humans either. No one is stating that global warming is not occurring, but the manner that it is happening is severely questionable. People that are for global warming occurring are providing their evidence based on statistics that go against scientific method. As well as people that don’t believe its happening are basically stating that there are just too many variables to run any sort of testing to prove their case thereby skewing the data. It makes for a frustrating experience but it is an honest one.

    So on one side we have so called, “fact” taken from statistics made from methods that do not provide any basis of scientific method stating that we humans are the direct cause of global warming. Just because a scientist provides data does not mean that it is correct. One should question the motives of where the data is contrived from and HOW it is contrived. Al Gore is no scientist. He is a politician, and therefore goes by what others tell him that are experts in the field. Experts that leave much data out, therefore Al Gore is presenting skewed data, which is in reality worthless. But its all about picking a side isn’t it. And which one are people more likely to consider that want to follow someone? Think about it.

    On the other, the people that do not believe global warming is caused by humans admit they cannot rightfully test 100% that global warming is occurring from humans but can clearly present the known fact that warming and cooling periods throughout history have been observed through the methodology of scientific method. Which is a truthful statement. To the point where there have been moments in our planets past where it has been worse off in our past than today. Which is also a truthful statement presented by actual scientific method producing the solution through soil samples which can be validated.

    My point is, that just because a scientist states that global warming is happening from humans does not mean that it is true. The statistics that are gathered are unfinished, and by picking and choosing data to present to prove a case over disproving it just makes for messy propaganda that it seems many people of the world are believing. Remember the Germans in WWII that were convinced by their government through propaganda? Non believers of global warming are not actually spreading propaganda but going by what can be proven. And nothing points to humans being the cause of global warming to date.

    What has been shown by the posts here is that the data being provided by these so called scientists that provide proof that humans are responsible for global warming is a farce. There has not been one one shred of true evidence claiming to the otherwise in any statement posted here. Then it seems they get upset and start pointing out their little facts about the causes, which I hate to say, none of these believers that humans are the direct cause to our recent global warming realize that they are pulling straws. Example:

    Non human global warming supporter, “Time has proven that the earth goes through cycles of global warming on its own.”

    Human global warming supporter, “Well an oil company did a study that says that global warming is not caused by humans.”

    Seriously? Regardless of whether that oil company report is true or not, it cannot stifle the fact of actual evidence. And just because it is getting warmer does not prove in ANY way that humans caused global warming.

    No one doubt that what people so call fossil fuels can produce toxicity to the planet for humans. But whether its causing global warming has NOT been proven. Peoples’ fears are running their lives, and yes, some people might be making money off of it or sheep for their flock to gain more power, but that is a different topic based on the same issue. Focus on the issue. And if someone is claiming that Global Warming is happening from humans, don’t just show rhetoric. Provide actual evidence. Not skewed statistical surveys supposively providing proof to back their claim. But actual data proving their case that cannot be disproven. This is not a topic of whether god exists or not. This is a topic about how the world actually works.

    It’s ok to be wrong ya know. Just don’t be one of those people that want to be right so bad to where they deny all logic and understanding to do so.

    None of these “scientific facts” disprove global warming. Climate =/= weather and more sea ice is a result of the melting and fragmenting of land ice, which, after falling into the (now warmer) sea will eventually melt, causing sea levels to rise. This is just a list displaying a failure to grasp the difference between meteorology and opinion versus climate science.

  11. DAPAKRZ December 11, 2015 at 7:15 pm #

    For so-called “scientists”, they do not implement a very “scientific” approach. I was always taught that for there to be a truly scientific, statistically significant study to exist there must be at least three elements: 1) lack of “tester bias”; 2) a “statistically significant” sample size and 3) isolation of all “variables” other than the one being tested.

    The third requirement makes the conducting of a truly scientific global warming study impossible. We cannot isolate things such as solar nuclear activity, ocean currents and volcanic activity are factors which all reputable scientists agree have a far greater impact on climate than anything our puny species could muster up. If we cannot “isolate those variables” then there is the possibility that ALL temperature changes are caused by those “other variables” and none of the temperature change is caused by humans. Because of these variables it is impossible to either prove or disprove the human global warming activity.
    The “warmers” or in current nomenclature “changers” counter with, “Why not be cautions?” The difficulty with this position is that history has taught that the greatest times of human (and, ostensibly, animal) suffering have been times when the world has been cooler and food supplies more limited. Indeed, when I was in junior high school I have a distinct recollection that our science teacher was preaching that human activity would be responsible for an early onset of the next Ice Age….(Make up your mind, will you). If human intervention could and did actually lower temperatures, the impact on our species and all species is likely to be dramatically harsher than raising the temperature by a couple of degrees. …To be continued.

    #7 is a joke. That petition you speak of is called the Oregon Petition first of all. You are right about something though, there were approximately 31,000 signatures but what you may not know or may be choosing not to share is that the minimum requirement to sign that petition was a B.S. in Science. The petition was open to any average person to sign as well as celebrities. Nearly none of the people on that petition are or were experts in climate change. It’s like having a petition being signed by paraplegics complaining about shoe manufacturing companies, it’s worthless.

  14. Person December 13, 2015 at 2:15 am #

    Your reasons for it being a hoax are absolutely and horrendously idiotic. Here’s why:

    1. Climate is ALWAYS CHANGING. We have evidence that climate has been fluctuating greatly for billions of years on Earth, and that this is caused by natural cycles that are NOT HOAXES. After the last ice age, what happened? The Earth’s climate certainly didn’t cool down, it WARMED UP. Was THAT a hoax?

    2. Although it may or may not be true, warming of the Earth has definitely been coordinated with increasing CO2 levels, and humans are, in fact, pumping trillions of gallons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. This has to have some effect, and it appears that it has. Now, it is in fact likely that this is not the only cause, let alaone the main cause, but it still likely has some effect.

    3. Your record ice and snow statements are useless. There is record low ice in the Arctic, and record high in the Antarctic. The antarctic is experiencing very little effect due to warming conditions due to the moderating effect of the Southern Ocean, although the temperature certainly isn’t getting any colder, it is warming less rapidly. Ice forms due to the increased snowfall in the area, expanding the glaciers, and other reasons as well. When ice breaks off more frequently from the coast of Antarctica, ice can form onto those icebergs, allowing ice to form more quickly. It’s similar to putting a floating object into freezing water; the ice will form around those objects, and expand over a larger area.

    4. There is more snowfall. So? That doesn’t mean it’s colder! That means that there are wetter conditions due to warming conditions over the oceans and lakes, therefor causing more precipitation. This obviously creates more snowfall, even if the temperature is warmer. There are still places that get below freezing; it doesn’t mean that the climate is cooling.

    5. So what if it was a record cold year? It was just a colder year the the one before it! It doesn’t mean that the general, overall path of climate is getting cooler, which it is not.

    6. Who cares if nature produces more CO2 than man? That doesn’t mean that man isn’t producing any.

    7. Oceans are rising less than predicted. OK? They’re still rising, idiot!

    8. Moose are making a comeback. OK. How does this have to do with the temperature not warming? I would think that warmer weather would actually help them spread north, which it does. Polar bears also don’t die if they are exposed to a nice 60 degree day, either.

    9. 99% of scientists don’t agree with CATASTROPHIC global warming. Did you see the capitalized word? Even if this was true, that doesn’t affect the idea the the climate is steadily rising, which it is.

    I hope you actually do some research like I did and throw similar arguments like in this article claiming climate change is a hoax into the trash. Goodbye.

    Agree totally. This thing along with the global agenda is disturbing. As much as policies being created it’s the general populations that’s buying in. I have watched history channel on the nazi movement and for years I focused on the leaders and the forces as they marched by hitler. Then I started focusing on the crowds that were in attendance. 10’s of thousands rejoicing in complete approval of the movement that was being sold to them. Now I’m not suggesting genicide, but it shows people can buy into anything if the message is consistently administered, regardless of the half baked theories!

  18. jack December 16, 2015 at 6:37 pm #

    Addressing your argument points in the article:

    1. If you read the rest of the article about Antarctica’s expansion, it describes how this expansion is “only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.” It also explains that global warming is a complex phenomena, where different weather patterns are bound to change. Global warming does not mean, everything warms up everywhere. That’s not how climate works. It means that there is an overall trend towards warming. Which there is: https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/how-much-has-global-temperature-risen-last-100-years.

    You also wrote that Arctic sea ice “made a nice comeback in 2014.” I guess you are trying to prove that icecaps melting is not a problem because there was an increase in ice one year. If you scroll down on the same page you get that data from you can see that there has still been a trend of a 4.7% decrease in Arctic sea ice each decade. This is the key: you have to analyze climate change based on trends over extended periods of time because that is how climate works. Observing things on such a short time scale such as over one year is simply looking at weather. Weather and climate are different things. Climate change represents a general trend towards warming, but this doesn’t mean that everything is warming all the time, which is what you’re trying to use to prove your argument. Arctic sea ice is melting and has been since at least the 70’s, and you can’t disprove that by saying that in one year it increased. You’re picking one data point out of an indisputable trend.

    You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what climate change is, further proven by using the fact that Lake Superior was frozen for most of 2014. Again, one cold year is wildly insufficient data to suggest that the general trend of warming is not happening. You are cherrypicking data on such a short time scale that it doesn’t have relevance in the topic. We need to be talking about long term trends, not single anomalies.

    That’s just for your first point, in which no effective arguments have been presented. I could go on with the rest of it, but it would take hours.

    Wow, you expect to have any credibility and you bring up the oregon petition. “31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying they don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming.” You know how many of them were climatologists? 0.03% It also has signatures from darth vader and the spice girls since not a single name on the list is verified. Also 2014, was the warmest year, the “pavement” has been proven to have no effect on weather stations and the 14 of the last 15 years have been are the 14 hottest years on record.

    Global warming and climate change are too different things… While global warming isn’t really a thing, drastic climate change is… Which is why some places get hurricanes while others are in droughts… It would explain drastic drops and rises in temperature rather than steady declines and rises. Also, most of the reasons aren’t true. Like 10 makes no sense, it’s not how you live it’s the fuels you use and how you dispose of waste, and 8 is bullshit, climate change is happening due to the ADDED pollution humans cause, not what naturally occurs. If you think humans are so innocent look at pictures of China’s and India’s pollution… The two countries with the highest populations having so much pollution is gonna have some form of effect… When you deny the facts by saying it’s happening but not THAT bad, like in reason 9, then you aren’t providing actual evidence…

    The Earth is made up of 3/4 water. The deep oceans are absorbing the heat. As far as the cold and polar vortex. Imagine a lot of ice in a glass of warm Coca Cola that was just poured. The ice dissipates the heat as it is displaced. Spreading the heat with cold until there is no more ice left to cool it. The same as a tornado or hurricane. The oceans warm all summer for hurricanes to form. Then cool all winter. Warm and cold air displace each other starting a spin in the atmosphere. Displacing each other as in a battle for space The same for polar vortexes. Warm air from the equators where the sun hits more directly going north pushing or displacing the cold air south as it melts more of the ice to dissipate the warm energy. Until there isn’t any ice left like in the glass of coke. You can see more surface ice from the spread of the cold air as it’s pushed out. But it’s not as thick as it once was. It’s melting like that ice cube in your glass. Or like spring in Canada. The oceans absorb a lot of energy and spread it around. That’s why it’s hard to see to conveyor belt. But you know it’s there. Just like it took millions of years to store carbon dioxide drop by drop as plants absorb carbon dioxide and grow. Then they die off storing some of it a drop at a time. MILLIONS of years is hard to fathom. Count to a million once number by number. It will take you over two weeks. Try it. Then imagine 100 million years. We are releasing those carbons in 200 years. The same carbons that the Earth had in the atmosphere when it was a lot hotter before carbon was stores by living plants.

    Would you pour a barrel of oil into a swimming pool and swim? Then why burn it and pour it into the atmosphere pool of Earth. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean that magically it’s not there. Billions of tons of carbon being released each year. Use common sense. But common sense isn’t that common. There wasn’t an infrastructure for oil at one time. We do have the technology to get us away from burning carbons now. But $$$ and greed prevent it. Ask yourself why oil companies would buy battery patents? Hmmm.

    Here’s an explanation of how there hasn’t been a global warming pause for 18 years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/03/24/ted-cruz-says-satellite-data-show-the-globe-isnt-warming-this-satellite-scientist-feels-otherwise/
    Besides the fact that this site says 2014 isn’t the hottest year, what about 2005 or 2008 or the 14 hottest years all took place after 2000. 98 (which is where ppl start their 18 yr myth) was an el nino year, which meant it was abnormally high. So starting the count there is disingenuous. And on top of that, it’s only counting satellite temp readings, ignoring sea, ocean, and land based (which are accurate despite where they are located) measurements which all show a steady increase.

    I implore anyone who buys into this, to check the facts. Not from blogs, from actual agencies that do the research.

    You do realize that the result of global warming/climate change is weather extremes, right? I’m always shaking my head when uneducated rednecks state “it’s a hoax” when we have cold weather. “Har har har, duh, it’s 10 below…so much for global warming…” Global warming doesn’t mean it’s going to be hot all of the time. It can also lead to the coldest weather on record. The question is are we having record heat and record cold? yes record number or tornadoes or hurricanes? yes Maybe revisit SCIENCE CLASS before making your list of “reasons it’s a hoax.” I do see, however, how the Conservative party, which is rooted in big business, would support deregulating something that might cut into corporation profits….being a responsible company with integrity isn’t always as profitable as not giving a crap about generations after you. As for scientists not in agreement. I’ve never met one. There might be small differences on various points , but the general consensus is that it is real…..including from scientists in those “red” states. (eyeroll)

  30. Chalmer January 4, 2016 at 8:06 pm #

    People keep saying there is tons proof that the planet is warming and none that it’s not but all you have to do is watch your weather channel and it will tell you record lows and if still don’t believe we’ll apparently u weren’t during last year’s polar vortex when there record lows across the country even in the past few summers we haven’t experienced record high Temps so isn’t that proof enough? Stop listening to what people who are being payed to tell you that global warming is true and isn’t true keep your temp logs or on any given day go to your library and look at past news papers and or forecast. Me personally I remember it being hotter as a kid not colder.

  31. willem January 7, 2016 at 5:07 am #

    I will believe in global warming if any scientist can explain to me how one CO2 molecule out of every 2500 molecules in the atmosphere can heat up the atmosphere. It is just not possible.

    Tell me one thing after reading all this I can’t help feeling a little less intelligent. Set global warming aside the sun will consume our solar system one day becoming a “red giant” are the so-called scientists making this up too did big oil pay for this cover-up? We need to be looking to get out of this place and onto another solar system or galaxy a billion years will be here soon! If we could make this happen we could leave the liberals here!!!

    Wow. How should one begin? Well, let’s start with ” I think it’s a hoax and here’s why”.

    There are only two possibilities (I’m excluding the nature vs man made debate for the moment) as to the reality of global warming, it’s happening or it’s not happening. This is not a matter of opinion. Temperature is a measurable and empirical phenomenon. The Earth is getting warmer or it is not getting warmer.

    Now let’s look at the record ice you talk about. The firs link you have brings us to a NASA web page. Kudos for actually picking a scientifically based organization but if you read the article you’ll find “The upward trend in the Antarctic, however, is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean” and “The planet as a whole is doing what was expected in terms of warming.
    Sea ice as a whole is decreasing as expected, but just like with global
    warming, not every location with sea ice will have a downward trend in
    ice extent”. Looking further at the same article we see the numbers (hard empirical facts!) “Since the late 1970s, the Arctic has lost an average of 20,800 square
    miles (53,900 square kilometers) of ice a year; the Antarctic has gained
    an average of 7,300 square miles (18,900 sq km)”. You’re link about the arctic icebrings us to a NSIDC webpage that states “December ended with Arctic sea ice extent tracking between one and two standard deviations below average, as it did throughout the fall. This caps a year that saw the lowest sea ice maximum in February and the fourth lowest minimum in September”.

    As for the record snow, the title of the article you link is “Fall snow cover in Northern Hemisphere was most extensive on record, even with temperatures at high mark”. The article itself sights a warming trend. If you read the article it will explain that raising temperatures doesn’t always mean that the temps will be above freezing. In fact if you talk to anyone from a very cold region they will tell you that it can be “too cold to snow”. Slightly warming the temps while remaining under the 32 degree mark can increase snow. Snow is also a form of precipitation. Precipitation is caused when water vapor coalesces and falls back to the Earth. Water vapor is produced by the heating of water, mostly the ocean. Global warming should mean that there is more precipitation so greater snowfall would actually be a sign that global warming is taking place.

    As far as your record cold goes you have linked CNS, not exactly a reliable source. Try this site instead http://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/28/

    I would love to keep going but my wife is waiting for me but let me end by pointing out that the Earth is heated when light from the sun penetrates the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ground which converts the light energy into thermal (heat) energy which then warms the air. The air near the ground is warmer than the air in the upper atmosphere. Increased global warming should be more obvious near the surface that in the upper atmosphere. This is why it gets colder when you go up in elevation. Climb a mountain if you don’t believe me. As far as the Urban Heat Island effect… you’re really going to say that man made cities that cause an increase in temps shows that man made global warming is a hoax???

    The simple fact is CO2 (among other things) in atmosphere is rising, and we’ll begin to suffer if nothing is to be done about it. Forest is being destroyed, and we need them to refresh our air. There are only 2 ways to combat the effect, less emissions and more forests. As an ordinary person, I couldn’t do anything about the forest except make a little donation to whom can, but I can reduce emission and that’s what I am going to do, I hope you can join me too.

    Even if climate change is a hoax it doesn’t mean we aren’t polluting are atmosphere. There is still smog in the skies, acid rain caused by nearby factories wiping out life in lakes. There is also deforestation resulting in species loss creating imbalance in the ecosystem.

    Even if this world isn’t warming up I would much rather smell nothing from an electric car then have that 50 year old car drive by leaving the smell of a very bad fart. Also litter looks very ugly in parks and road sides, it wouldn’t kill you to walk the extra five feet to the recycling can (you won’t believe how many times I see this).

    I’m saying this mainly saying this because I’m still a kid and when I grow up I don’t want to have to dedicate my life to cleaning up your mess rather than enjoying a job I love with a nice family.

    Please my proof of this is the exhaust from a gas car will kill you so no way it can be good. Also people keep on throwing their trash on my front yard, please don’t be ‘that’ person. Trash bags are a major threat to animal life everywhere. Just last year a dolphin along the Hudson where I live swam up the river and died because it had swallowed a trash bags so try to recycle those things.

    Thanks so much for reading all this.

    98% of climatologists, not 99% of all scientists. Did you go to college? There’s over 100 fields of study in Earth sciences alone. This addresses none of the facts. How hot or cold it is one year or another doesn’t determine whether there’s atmospheric changes occurring. Whether or not the Amazon Rain Forest, the largest piece of biomass on the planet, produces more CO2 or not also, has nothing to do with the fact, that there more greenhouse gasses.

    The rain forest, is dying. Do you know how many hundreds of years old those trees are, that trees have been capturing CO2 and storing it from the air for all those years. Now trees die, just like anything else, there’s a cycle, but the rain forest as a whole is dying, that’s a whole bigger issue.

    Even if this were just a natural disaster, that volcanoes dying rain forests were the sole cause of it, it would change the fact that it is real, and that if we value what we have, we should maybe think of some ways to keep it. The planet isn’t dying people, its changing. The thing that all conservatives hate most. Honestly you should be on this!

    I fear that what you consider to be “climate change” is akin to a decline. This is false. Climate change doesn’t have to start with a decline in weather patterns. The “record snow” and “ice” that you’re talking about means that there has been a strangely large abundance of those weather patterns — in other words, climate change. Not climate “decline”. Climate CHANGE.

    And the issue with CO2 isn’t that humans are making more CO2 than nature — that’s just how it is (we can’t change how much CO2 nature expels). The issue is that Earth isn’t made to “absorb” (for lack of a better term) extra CO2. What nature expels, nature reabsorbs. The man-made CO2 is, although not high in number, still extra. This means there is no where for the CO2 to go but up.

    Attention writer of this article: Climate Change, commonly referred to as Global Warming, is indeed real. What many people do not realize is that Global Warming is based on GLOBAL average temperatures, which are rising. I will now respond to each of your points, in order.

    1.) Yes, the Antarctica region is getting colder and developing more ice. Yes, the great lakes are developing more ice throughout the year. No, this does not prove climate change is not real; In fact, it rather supports that it is real. Recent global weather patters have caused higher winds and lower temperatures farther away from the equator and much hotter ones closer to it. Look at Dubai for example; expected to be uninhabitable within a couple years due to extreme heat. Its all averages, which is why the term Global Warming, coined in the mid 1900’s, is inaccurate.

    2.) See number one.

    3.) See number one.

    4.) Did you ever take Basic Algebra? Exponential growth functions? That’s the sort of rise we can expect to see – slow at first, but escalating as problems get worse. Sea levels have not risen dramatically – yet.

    5.) Polar bears are not, I can assure you, “Thriving.” They are an endangered species and are only being saved due to international efforts. Talk to a biologist, please.

    6.) See number one, and also, Completely irrelevant to the point you are [trying] to make.

    7.) Your evidence has been proven to have been falsely organized. Many scientists have been payed by major pollutant-creating companies to falsify data, a task that is easy. Also, man-made destruction of earth is just as likely as a natural event.

    8.) This fact is partially correct. Industrial areas do produce most of the world’s CO2 emissions. That is non debatable. The reason amounts appear to be so high in these rainforest/tropical areas is because they are the planet’s largest processors of CO2. It is a tested-and-true fact that plant life (trees, bushes, any plant life, indeed) take Carbon Dioxide (CO2) out of the air and process it into food for themselves, and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Rainforests are the only reason the planet is still habitable. Go ahead, try and find one published article that disagrees with that.

    9.) See number one… Again.

    10.) You appear to be talking about the “1%,” celebrities and self-made rich people that make a living off of stuff like this. Don’t listen to them, listen to the non-profit, true-and-tested scientists of the modern world that will give you the facts as they are. Check your sources, buddy.

    Good chat. Anyone who disagrees, feel free to email me at ryanwitek5@gmail.com and try to prove me wrong.

    Bye.

    All arguments that I have seen up to 2016 on this subject are fundamentally flawed. All the points made in this hoax list can be explained, or they just happen to be not very relevant in the first place. I can not convey my many years of engineering education and experience via this medium, but I suggest that you simply take a pan of water and put it on the stove. Also place a freezer across the room, door open and freezer running. Supply the pan on the stove with a continuous source of water so that it never dries out. Boil the water slowly at first and achieve a steady state evaporation rate (water supply rate). The humidity and temperature will go up in the room and stabilize at some percentage and temperature. The buildup of ice in the freezer will increase the weight of the freezer at a constant rate when you reach equilibrium (constant amount of water vaporization and condensation). Now increase the heat on the pan, increasing the production of water vapor. The humidity will go up a little and the temperature will stay about the same since the pan of water and water vapor never go above 212 F (100 C) and the pressure is always atmospheric pressure. The rate of condensation in the freezer will go up, creating more and more ice in the freezer, proportionally faster than before, but consistent with the increase in humidity. Keep increasing the heat on the pan all you like.

    Now contemplate the fact that 80% of the Earth’s surface is water. Trapping more heat due to any reason (CO2 or not, from any source) will increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere (mechanical engineers would talk in terms of enthalpy). The extra heat energy goes into water vapor (humidity) more than it does temperature increases, and that increases the amount of energy that is lifted up into the atmosphere. You get more rain and snow (and arctic ice) by heating the atmosphere over the water, which can contain even more water vapor if the temperature does go up in local situations, but temperature increases are not needed at all to have the energy present in the atmosphere go up.

    Now contemplate whether we have more and more storms, and more severe storms, and blizzards, and tornadoes, and jet stream phenomena than before.

    I give you “climate change” without “global warming.” All of this reflects how stable the atmosphere is and how many parameters (parametrics) are likely to need to be considered for anyone to understand the effects of adding gases like CO2 to the atmosphere. It is irrelevant that nature also does this. It is irrelevant that historical temperatures have not changed much (if at all).

    What is relevant is that we need to consider whether dramatic changes in weather patterns are being experienced and whether that is acceptable. We can give the Chinese just so much credit for producing various “greenhouse gases” but at least they are moving very rapidly to convert from coal to nuclear energy for their industrialization, which releases no “greenhouse gases” at all.

    In the US, we have self-mutilated our nuclear industry by accepting cheap shots from a range of intellectuals who really do not know what they are talking about. “Global warming” is just another example of the same misdirected advocacy that is simply based in ignorance, despite “scientists” getting on board here and there to claim otherwise.

    “The upward trend in the Antarctic, however, is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.”

    http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record-maximum <—- Which is from the VERY article you cited.

    CO2 sinks, meaning that any that has been blown off the coast eventually reaches the ocean. It sinks into the ocean.This creates a reaction that warms the lower layers of the ocean, preventing thermohaline circulation. Thermohaline circulation allows warm air to get to cold places and cold air to get to warm places.

    Also, your link to a website talking about how rain forests produce more CO2 than the industrialized northern hemisphere is a .com, which means it was not made by a research fund. It is also a broken link, which is an even worse sign.

    The global warming hoax/scam/panic is just another distraction from the same people who are working hard to erode the rights of the individual in our Constitutional Republic and weaken the US from within. Do you think for one moment that modern day Russia or China is having apoplexy about alleged climate change? No, they put themselves first as sovereign nations and working hard to make themselves stronger. Please read some history, snap out of it and stop bickering about trivial crap. It won’t make a difference if you are a slave to a socialist/communist/totalitarian regime.
