AGW has a lot of fallacies to it. If it were true science the greenies could predict the future a lot better than they do now.
Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson, makes the question pertinent. The older inhabitants tell us that the Winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last decade. - New York Times June 23, 1890
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot.... Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone... Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. - Washington Post 11/2/1922
Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada, Professor Gregory of Yale University stated that “another world ice-epoch is due.” He was the American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress and warned that North America would disappear as far south as the Great Lakes, and huge parts of Asia and Europe would be “wiped out.” – Chicago Tribune August 9, 1923
The discoveries of changes in the sun's heat and southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to the conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age - Time Magazine 9/10/1923
Isn't it interesting how we can go from an impending Ice Age to GW in a year?
It seems GW had 'missing heat' even before Al Gore. But you see, it makes news, scares people, and then the vultures come in and make insane tyrannical laws and raise taxes.
Global Warming is a cottage industry.
Global warming is due to the increase amount of green house gases in the atmosphere. The green house gases can trap the heat and temperature back to the earth's atmosphere. So, the earth warms and it is known as the global warming. The pollution is the main cause of increasing the green house gases. The green house gases increase because of the increased usage of ACs, the increased use of motor vehicles, the plastics burning etc. The major green house gas is the COI2. CO, methane, the water vapor the natural green house gas can cause the global warming.
Another one bites the dust
° For starters, GW as a modern science was noticed around the late seventies and BTRW ythis is the 21st century and the global average temp has been on the rise for more than 3 decades. These average temps are above the 20th century averages
°Wrong...CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxides and Low Level Ozone are human generated greenhouse gases that cause GW GW doesn't cause CO2
°Most of the carbon goes into the oceans, either directly or via underground and ground water run off. Much is absorbed by trees/vegetation, but they are not capable of absorbing more, especially since deforestation is on the increase. This sends all of the absorbed Carbon into the atmosphere/troposphere and additionally deprives us of a carbon sink. Keep in mind that vegetation is only a 90% carbon sink as vegetation releases 10% of all the CO2 it absorbs at night time while absorbing the same amount of oxygen. There is excess CO2 that cannot be absorbed bny the existing carbon sinks and therefore remains in the atmosphere extending GW
° Wrong The Sun has little if any effect on the current state of AGW AND there has been no global cooling in recent times, going back to the Little Ice Age
° The melting ice does have something to due with changing currents but keep in mind this is a result of GW AND most of the melt is due to a rise in global temps along with increased particulate matter, primarily from oil cause the ice to absorb more of the Sub's rays
° Once again this is not the 20th century That data has no effect on the realty of today's AGW There is however consensus among Climatologists (the people who really study climate)

You need to really search the web, not just searching the decidedly denier sits, as you are spewing out info that has already been refuted and found to be lacking any credibility
global warming means heating of earth
due to the harmful gasses
The 20th century warming of 1-1.4°F is within the +/- 5°F range of the past 3,000 years. A 2003 study by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows temperatures from 1000-1100 AD (before fossil fuel use) that are comparable to those from 1900-1990.
Rising CO2 levels are a result of global warming, not a cause of it. As temperatures increase, CO2 is released from "carbon sinks" such as the oceans or the Arctic tundra. Measurements of ice core samples show that over the last four climactic cycles (past 240,000 years) periods of global warming preceded global increases in CO2.
Human releases of CO2 cannot cause climate change as any increases in CO2 are eventually balanced by nature. CO2 gets absorbed by oceans, forests, and other "carbon sinks" that increase their biological activity to absorb excess CO2 from the atmosphere. 50% of the CO2 released by the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities, has already been absorbed.
Global warming and cooling are caused by fluctuations in the sun's heat (solar forcing), not by the minor greenhouse effect of human-produced gases such as CO2 and methane (CH4). Between 1900 and 2000 solar irradiance increased .19%. This increase correlates with the rise in surface temperatures in the US.
Due to the inherent unpredictability of climate systems it is impossible to accurately use models to determine future weather. Climate models have been unable to simulate major known features of past climate such as the ice ages or the very warm climates of the Miocene, Eocene, and Cretaceous periods. If models cannot replicate past climate changes they should not be trusted to predict future climate changes.
Rising temperatures are caused primarily by water vapor, the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, not by CO2. Water vapor concentrations in the atmosphere are driven by natural storm systems and ocean currents. According to a Mar. 5, 2010 study by researchers at NOAA, water vapor in the stratosphere was responsible for increasing the rate of warming during the 1990s by 30%.
Changes in ocean currents are primarily responsible for the melting Greenland ice sheet, Arctic sea ice, and Arctic permafrost. Over the 20th century there have been two Arctic warming periods with a cooling period (1940-1970) in between. According to a peer-reviewed Apr. 19, 2009 study in Geophysical Research Letters, natural shifts in the ocean currents are the major cause of these climate changes, not human generated greenhouse gases.
The general consensus that the earth has warmed during the 20th century is based upon flawed temperature measurements. These measurements, taken from surface monitoring stations set up by the National Weather Service (NWS), are often contaminated by the "heat island effect." According to a Mar. 2009 study published by the Heartland Institute, 89% of NWS monitoring stations are too close to artificial heat sources such as large asphalt parking lots, air conditioners, heaters and other sources of artificial heat.
What kind of question is this, have what?
LISTEN TO BEN HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH!
