Global warming has been the crisis of the last few decades. After a period of global cooling in the min 20th Century, the Century as a whole saw a global temperature rise between 1-1.4°F. Over the same time the volume of greenhouse gasses (Carbon Dioxide and Methane amongst others) increased to 389 parts per million against a background fluctuation between 180-300ppm in the previous 650,000 years.
Climate change proponents such as the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believe that the rise in greenhouse gasses comes from human activities. Burning fossil
fuels releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere – at the same time the reduction in forested land through logging or clearing for agriculture results in a loss of the natural carbon sink (trees absorb Carbon Dioxide). Man made global warming – they would have us believe – will be single handedly responsible for rising sea levels, melting glaciers, species extinction and any severe weather from tornadoes to ice-storms.This view, supported by the mainstream media, has become the orthodox belief. Only a few scientists now admit to being sceptical about man’s role in global warming. Is the orthodoxy right? Here are the Top 10 Reasons Humans Are Not Causing Global Warming…
