If that is so, then it should be easy to address each of the basic ideas behind global warming. So, for\u00a0\u00a0Man-made Global Warming deniers, which of the following facts don&#8217;t you believe?<\/p>\n<p>1. We are burning more and more coal, oil and natural gas. (Doubled since 1960.)<\/p>\n<p>2. Burning oil, coal, and natural gas releases CO2. (Doubled since 1970)<\/p>\n<p>3. The Oceans have a fixed volume of water and have a limited ability to absorb CO2.<\/p>\n<p>4. Plants have a limited ability to absorb CO2 and with deforestation it is decreasing. (10-million hectares\/year.)<\/p>\n<p>5. The net amount of CO2 in the atmospher is increasing; by 23% since 1959 and by 49% since 1850. (1850 = 280PPM.)<\/p>\n<p>6. The current CO2 level of 390 PPM is higher than any time in the last 400,000 years. (Previous peak from Antartice ice cores 300PPM)<\/p>\n<p>7. The last time CO2 levels were has high as today was 2.1-million years ago. (Previous pre-industrial peaks were around 300PPM, 400,000 years ago).<\/p>\n<p>8. CO2 blocks Infrared radiation centered around 1.4um and is thus a greenhouse gas.<\/p>\n<p>9. The CO2 increase over the last 150 years is responsible for the earth retaining 1.4 watts per M^2.<\/p>\n<p>10. Various cycles such as sun spot cycles, orbital cycles, etc. amount to no more that 0.4 watts per M^2.<\/p>\n<p>11. Positive feedback mechanisms, methane release, less snow cover, increased water vapor increase the effects by 2 to 9 watts per M^2.<\/p>\n<p>12. Control quesiton: the earth is more than 2-billion years old.<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.hofstra.edu\/geotrans\/eng\/ch8en\/conc8en\/worldfossil.html\">http:\/\/www.people.hofstra.edu\/geotrans\/eng\/ch8en\/conc8en\/worldfossil.html<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"http:\/\/math.nist.gov\/~BRust\/pubs\/Interface2003\/MS.pdf\">http:\/\/math.nist.gov\/~BRust\/pubs\/Interface2003\/MS.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/documents\/4930_tropicaldeforestation_and_climatechange.pdf\">http:\/\/www.edf.org\/documents\/4930_tropicaldeforestation_and_climatechange.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esrl.noaa.gov\/gmd\/ccgg\/trends\/co2_data_mlo.html\">http:\/\/www.esrl.noaa.gov\/gmd\/ccgg\/trends\/co2_data_mlo.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2009\/0618-co2.html\">http:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2009\/0618-co2.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daviesand.com\/Choices\/Precautionary_Planning\/New_Data\/\">http:\/\/www.daviesand.com\/Choices\/Precautionary_Planning\/New_Data\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>7. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/324\/5934\/1551\">http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/324\/5934\/1551<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/oregonstate.edu\/media\/smpnt\">http:\/\/oregonstate.edu\/media\/smpnt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>8. <a href=\"http:\/\/www-ramanathan.ucsd.edu\/publications\/Kiehl%20and%20Ram%20JGR%2088%20C9%205191-5202%201983.pdf\">http:\/\/www-ramanathan.ucsd.edu\/publications\/Kiehl%20and%20Ram%20JGR%2088%20C9%205191-5202%201983.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>9. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalscience.com\/ns\/articles\/01-16\/ns_jeh.html\">http:\/\/www.naturalscience.com\/ns\/articles\/01-16\/ns_jeh.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>11. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interflush.co.uk\/htm\/GlobalWarmingmeasuredinhiroshimabombs.doc\">http:\/\/www.interflush.co.uk\/htm\/GlobalWarmingmeasuredinhiroshimabombs.doc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We commonly hear that Global Warming is &#8220;junk science&#8221; and that all the claims have been discredited.
