Global Warming is not caused by humans.

[onequestion]

Present me your evidence that global warming is caused by our co2 emissions and I will show you why every piece of evidence you present to me is either untrue, illogical, irrelevant, or just plain old junk science. And if you just wanna come here and say how stupid I am for saying global warming is fake dont bother, I want debate not name calling.

At least you're not arguing that global warming isn't happening.

I honestly don't see why people get all up in arms about lowering CO2 emmissions and creating more alternative energies.

switching to alternative energies would be extremely beneficial for the economy (at least in the US anyway) We spend so much damn money on foreign oil. Several millions (billions? forgot the ammount...it's alot though) of dollars everyday leaving our country.

furthermore investing in alternative energies would create a shit-ton of jobs for the American people. It really seems like a win-win to me.

Cleaner air/environment, more jobs, not contributing to global warming (CO2 is a greenhous gas, whether it's significant or not is beside the point), and a more financially independent country.

Not to mention Oil isn't going to last forever, we are going to need to find alternatives within the next 1-100 years anyway otherwise we will face an unprecedented economic collapse from waning oil supplies. Better to invest now than to wait and be completely fucked. Note: I put 1-100 years because it's almost impossible to know when the oil supply is going to start it's decline.

In conclusion, I honestly don't even think it matters if global warming is caused by CO2 emmissions, we should be doing all we can to lower them and spur alternatives anyway.

We cant do anything about global warming. It is the sun thats causing it not us.

what's the point? you've already pre-rejected every possible citation of evidence. You said it yourself, you want debate, not answers or conclusions. Instead, we'll just spend all that mental energy considering the health of future generations.

global temperatures have been on the rise since way before the industrial revolution so its pretty ovious that we havent really been causeing it, the earth doesnt just stay the same temperature all the time, its been way hotter than it is now before and of course there have been ice ages.

yes this is true what that doesnt mean we arent expediting the process and making it worse. just cause its already happening isnt a good enough reason to not try and do something.

The exponential warming recently doesn't follow the patterns of natural climate changes in history. Even polar glaciers indicate that the co2 content in the atmosphere is currently abnormally higher than compared to the ice samples that dated 200,000+ years ago. If the earth is naturally warming, we are definitely compounding it to an unhealthy and unnatural degree. Assuming it is merely a cyclical phenomenon, warming would allow species to thrive where they didn't before and diseases would move farther north and it would be a climate less consistent with human civilization. If it is natural, why not do something about it anyway to protect ourselves?

It'd be nice if it wasn't actually a threat, much nicer than just believing it's not a threat. Seeing that this is the scariest reality humankind has faced, it's not a surprise that you guys have set your brains on obstinate disbelief

Here's the thing about oil, it isn't when we run out of oil thats the problem it's when the overall peak in production occurs. After it reaches it's peak it will start a decline. The second this decline happens and oil isn't able to supply the tremendous demand, we are going to start seeing economic problems. Now if we have alternatives in place which would be awesome for our economy, we would be alright, and even better off for it.

However, if we don't have any substatantial alternatives in place when this decline in oil starts to happen we are going to be stuck in shit creak without a paddle. Even worse if our emmissions are contributing to global warming and we reach that tipping point we are going to be slammed by the two largest disasters to ever grace mankinds presence.

I think it is completely irresponsible in every way imaginable not to increase alternatives and lower emissions. because if no action is taken, we are almost gaurenteed to be completely fucked.

The reason you think that co2 causes glbal warming is because of the hockey stick graph. Well the blade of the hockey stick is taken from a volcanoe which gives off shiotloads of co2 compared to an ice sample. Changing the location of the testing site creates two variables which are obviously extremely different making it totally invalid.

Other planets in our solar system are experiencing the same global warming as us and they have no humans there. It is therefore abovious that it is the sun.
