It is irrelevant that reliable meteorological temperature recording began in 1861. Technology allows us to retrieve temperature data far older than this. Recent scientific evidence and conclusions regarding global warming have been based partly on Antarctic ice core samples which are able to show temperatures and carbon dioxide levels dating back more than 650,000 years. These core samples have shown that carbon dioxide levels and surface temperatures have been significantly higher in recent years than at any time in the past 650,000 years (Science Vol 310, 25 November 2005: www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/310/5752/1313/).Shaver stated that some experts disagree about global warming. On the contrary, there is an overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is real and is caused by humans. A recent study looked at all peer-reviewed scientific papers written about global warming within a 10 year period. The study took a random sample, 10 percent (or 928) papers, to analyze. The number of papers that stated humans were not causing global warming or that global warming isn't a serious problem was exactly zero (Science Vol 306 no. 5702 3 December 2004: www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686).Follow the money. Scientists have absolutely nothing to gain from overstating global warming or stating that humans are the cause. On the contrary, the oil industry has everything to lose, to the tune of tens or even hundreds of billions in annual revenue, if global warming is taken seriously and controls are put into place to reverse it. The oil industry regularly hires PR experts to publish propaganda in an effort to confuse the public (Seattle Post-Intelligencer June 2 2003 Jeff Nesmith: seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/124642_warming02.html).The National Academy of Sciences, an agency established by the federal government, found that global warming is real and that humans are the cause. Ralph Cicerone, head of that agency, stated back in July 2005, "Global warming is caused primarily by humans and nearly all climate scientists today agree with that viewpoint. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now at its highest level in 400,000 years and it continues to rise. Nearly all climate scientists today believe that much of Earth's current warming has been caused by increases in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly from the burning of fuels."

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Wow, how can anyone say global warming is a hoax? Read the papers, see what's happening with the weather and look at the polar bears! Man, even Oprah had Al Gore on her show to talk about global warming! Don't let the folks who have are in denial get to you! Be strong cause you are doing the right thing!
