Here is another installment to our “Global Warming Basic Facts” category. Below you will find ten common beliefs about global warming and climate change. These are lies!

1. Carbon dioxide is a pollutant.

2. The twentieth century has been the hottest in recorded history and the decade 1990–2000 the hottest ever.

3. The evidence linking anthropogenic (man-made) carbon dioxide emissions and current warming is decisive.

4. The scientific consensus is that anthropogenic CO2 emissions have already caused significant global warming and must be severely curtailed to prevent future climate catastrophe.

5. Anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and the global warming caused thereby are responsible not only for higher temperatures and more droughts than in the past, but also for more blizzards, unseasonal snow, and freezing weather. They are also responsible for increasing numbers of cyclones.

6. Because of anthropogenic emissions, the polar ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising. The rising sea levels threaten low lying island states in the Pacific and Indian Oceans with complete inundation.

7. Unless anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are reduced by 50–60 per cent of current levels by the year 2050, by 2100 our descendants will have to endure global temperatures of between 1.4 to 5.8°C warmer than the present.

8. Tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue fever will spread from the tropics to the temperate regions.

9. Shutting down coal-fired power stations and replacing them with renewable energy sources such as windmills and solar panels (or even nuclear power plants) will not cause unemployment or economic deprivation.

PETA and the animal rights activists love the global warming goofballs, not only because they’re liberal loopys themselves, but it helps their agenda. And it’s true, according to a recent report from scientists in Japan. Producing 2.2 pounds of meat creates as much carbon dioxide as driving a car for three hours. Those quarter pounders add up pretty quick, and after a week worth of drive-thru eating, you could have caused less “harm” to the environment by driving all day and eating veggies.

“Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide. This also consumed 169 mega joules of energy.

That means that 2.2lb of beef is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours. The amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.

Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals’ digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported.”

So the methane from the cows causes most of the greenhouse gas emissions . . .

Here is the second part of the Global Warming Myths video from Friends of Science.

It’s sad that we have to scour sources like youtube and google video to find any thing to watch that explains the other side to the global warming debate.Подаръци

This video from Friends of Science clears up a lot of myths, fibs and lies about Global Warming.
