Colder winter and cooler summer, the global warming theory sounds like junk. What do you think?

Almost everyone knows that climate changes and that we affect it to some degree, what we do not know if this change is potentially catastrophic. And we know that people pollute so much that major waterways have been nearly killed. But life goes on and we continue to study. And will adapt. Not because some eggheads pretend to understand the science behind the science.

Atmospheric physics are the primary determinant in what is going to happen and there is NEVER a slam dunk, an irrefutable and immutable truth in regards to weather. One example was that used to be forecasters assumed ALL Tornadoes rotate cyclonically and just when we are sure of something, new insights prevail. This is what science is and Max Planck summed it up best when leave the interpretation of a theory to succeeding generations. Avoiding the pratfalls of dubious presumption.

First of all, the largest problem with this issue is the terminology. The first scientists who saw the trend toward higher average temperatures - worldwide - used the term "Global Warming" too loosely. The fact that North America doesn't fit that mold is irrelevant. The Arctic and Antarctic regions are experiencing higher then normal temps and that is what will affect our ocean levels, which in turn affects our currents, which in turn affects the climates of more temperate regions; i.e. between the two tropic latitudes and aforementioned circles. Too bad most Americans have a very narrow world view and miss that we are not the center of the world.

The more commonly accepted term nowadays is Global Climate Change. I believe once the science community at large begins insisting on that wording, their argument will have a lot less detractors. Or at least I hope so.

As for the actual reason for the climate change, I personally agree with the scientists that say the natural ups and downs of Earth's average temperature, which has caused both extreme droughts and ice ages in the past, are nothing new. However, from samples taken from glaciers and study of the gases trapped in them, we can deduce that human influence - especially since the industrial revolution - has sped up these natural changes.

And I, for one, am scared of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren not being able to play outside because of polluted air, water, and extreme temperatures. We can slow down our influence on these changes, but only if we all work together.

To the global warming deniers, please answer these questions:

1) CO2 levels now are increasing at amazing rates, and there is NO correlation between volcananic or any other natural phenomenon to explain this, outside of human activity.

2) The heating pattern does not support solar genesis. Heat in the stratosphere vs atmosphere vs oceans rules out extra-terrestrial sources.

3) The oceans are acidifying and heating.

4) We're warming now almost 100 times faster than at any other transition from a cold to warming period than has been seen in the last million years.

5) For 30 years now, we've had monthly record highs. Even though the solar position would suggest a cooling stage.

The funny thing too - I drive a 4WD truck, I really don't pay that much attention to recycling - I'm not even close to a "green" type person. But the evidence is the evidence and I'm not going to just ignore that.

Climate shifts are part and parcel of resultant weather patterns along with highs and lows. Transference of temperatures horizontally, vertically and through unseen events like temperature inversions, gravity waves and a host of other mitigating factors.

A new discovery has recently brought many questions to the future of climate change with the discovery of an ancient ice core that was drilled out in Greenland when a team of international scientists working on the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) project hit bedrock. The team achieved this monumental find after a full two summers of work, which involved drilling down more than 1.5 miles to try and assess the risks of abrupt future climate change. Some of the key implications and findings surrounding this find include the following:

The ice core originates from the Eemian interglacial period, which was from about 115,000 to 130,000 years ago. The temperatures at this time were 3.6 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit above today's temperatures. The Eemian period was the most recent interglacial period on Earth. During this period there was a huge deal less ice on Greenland, and in addition to this, sea levels were 15 feet or more higher than today.

Do we have global warming today? Perhaps, but is it man made or a natural occurrence? You can believe anything you want. But real science with real facts should make a reasonable person come to an honest conclusion. I cited the article below by a link.

I wouldnt exactly call it "Global Warming" but I would call it Climate Change. Whether or not it is a man made or man aided phenomenon is irrelevant at this point as it is happening. You cant just flip a switch and say look, we stopped doing this and that so everything will get better now! It just doesnt work like that. I took a small block of leave to Michigan back in January and it was one of the winters on record since my birth. People would argue that a cold winter goes against a "global warming" theory, to them I would say, get your head out of your rear and stop taking things literally. The Term "Global Warming" was a misused term and does NOT directly indicate that all weather should now become warmer. Sure, the Desert is hot as hell when the sun comes out....what happens at night though...Its the same thing with climate. In Michigan right now, its one of the weirdest summers ever, it barely reaches the 90s and each week or day is a completely different temperature from the last. Before you spout off on jokes about Michigan being in the north, understand this, Michigan does have routine summers months of 80-90 degree temperatures, something they have not had this year for more than a few days at a time. Could this be a strange year for the State...I could give in to that idea but is it strange and does it make you wonder...it certainly does. I dont think the argument over whether or not climate change/global warming is man made or natural even has a place in science anymore, the argument needs to be, what can we do to assist ourselves in more efficiently using our resources and what to do if a cataclysmic event caused by a global shift in weather suddenly affects crop cycles and fresh water levels.

The Science is there to prove that humans can impact small areas. (Smog in LA or China for example). But there is no evidence that mankind causes anything on a global scale.

Top, it's not called Global Warming any more; rather it's called the more accurate Climate Change.

All you have to do is consider the extremely violent tornado and hurricane damage over the last several years. Or consider this winter, where west of the mountains there's been no winter, while east, the winter has been extreme.

The Jet Stream, the Gulf Stream and all the other flows have been horribly disrupted. The melting of glaciers in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland; the melting of the Ice Cap in the North Pole; the calving of glaciers and exposure of bare land in Antarctica. All of this is very real, and it is caused by man made action.

It IS a national security threat, and it IS a threat to our very existence...

We can argue semantics until we're blue in the face, but no one has ever seen this before. Something is not right.

The planet has been steadlily warming since the last Ice Age - long before mankind had any appreciable effect upon it. It is a natural occurence which is being hyped far out of its scope. Eventually, the tectonic plates will rearrange, making current borders superfluous. Where's the alarm about this?? Magnetic north will change, putting Garmin and other GPS vendors out of business. Where are the celebrity "Chicken Littles" trying to scare us??
This also is possible only if we aren't smashed into asteroids by a rogue planet, sucked into a black hole and rulled by a robot named Maximillian, or blown out of our solar orbit by a super volcano. Ain't skeered.
