It’s clear global warming/climate change is real. It’s equally clear the > current < warming cycle has been going on since the last ice age and that’s why the Sahara was grassland 10,000 years ago but is desert today + has been desert for centuries. The fact the current warming trend started long before there was any industry and when there were hardly any people is good evidence humans are not the cause. It also means humans are not the solution.
The Earth goes through constant climate change cycles and has done so throughout its history. The exact mechanism is not completely understood but appears to be related to solar activity and the axial tilt of the Earth as it orbits the sun - not human activity. Note that the Earth is apparently at the end of the current warming cycle and should begin cooling soon (“soon” in geological terms).
All of the carbon tax/carbon offset BS is just robbery or extortion disguised as science. Countries like China and India LOVED the idea of carbon taxes/carbon offsets – but only when they could pretend to be “undeveloped”. Once it was pointed out both are horrific polluters of > every type < they suddenly weren’t so keen on the idea. Only the global Left and countries like North Korea & Zimbabwe still love the idea of carbon taxes.
The Left loves the idea because they are dedicated to destroying the West in general and the USA in particular. Getting the developed world to wreck its own industrial base is something they want. Having the West simultaneously give free guilt-money to countries like North Korea & Zimbabwe would just make it better.
Unfortunately, scientific research has been compromised by the politics of the subject. The academic community leans far to the Left, so researchers who “prove” human-caused global warming (AGW) are rewarded with more grants, but researchers who don’t “prove” AGW find themselves cut off.
The politics of the issue are a problem because we really do need to understand how the Earth works so we can anticipate, predict, and adjust. We also need to reduce actual pollution that is poisoning our environment, and countries like China & India should not get a free ride.
"By definition, global warming is a rise in the long term global mean temperature of the Earth."
Which is why it has been rebranded as "Climate Change". Now if there is say a 17 year pause in warming or if the temperatures start to decline over the next few decades, alarmists can still claim that man is responsible.
By definition, global warming is a rise in the long term global mean temperature of the Earth. Most places will (and have) seen rising temperatures, some may stay about the same, some may fall.
Temperature is a local measurement. Average global temperature isn't. It is perfectly possible for local temperatures to drop and average global temperature to rise. I would have thought the term 'global warming' was self explanatory.
I would say rising temperatures. The first hint is the word 'warming'. There is the possibility that most places will cool while certain places get very very hot, but that is unlikely.
Whatever has to happen will happen. It causes extreme weather conditions but most likely, the avg temp would rise
Both except the overall global temp will continue to rise
The answer is 350
Watch this and judge for your self

According to Micheal Mann Both .
None of the above, just higher taxes.
