i wrote this for a peice of homework....its not particularly well written as that is not my strong point, and i also wrote it really quickly as i had to hand it in next lesson so some of it may sound weird or not be 100% accurate, however most of it is. but it does have some intresting information and mabey you would like to share your opinoins on the subject.

this is an online petition with over 17,100 signatures of experts, many with phds or better qualifications in related fields such as geosciences and meteorology, who have all agreed that global warming is not happening and is not a problem. i personally agree with them, and i have agreed with them for years. i try to consider the argument in real terms, the problem ofcorse is carbon emissions into the atmosphere, did you know that every year millions of tons of carbon is released into the atmophere, however the vast majority of it comes from the sea! infact i think i read a figue that the total emissions from human influence is less than 0.1% the total global natural emission. not only that but carbon is dissolved into the sea and released in what is known as a dynamic equilibrium. and if you have done chemistry you would know that this mean there is always a constant amount of carbon in the sea as out of it, and no matter how much carbon you add, the sea will always absorb it to balance this equilibrium. not only that but the actual amount we put into the atmosphere is so miniscule that it wouldnt make a difference anyway, although i dont know the exact figuers i do know that the atmosphere is many many times greater in volume than the volume of carbon we release, a few million tons of carbon is nothing compared to a few trillion tons of atmosphere.
global warming facts:
1. in the roman times the temperature was possiblyas much as 3 degrees hotter than it is now.
2. we know that we are currently exiting an ice age which means the planet is naturally warming anyways.
3. a considerably large amount of carbon is needed to produce the insulating effect predicted
4. the vast majority of the "freak weather" can be attributed to known meteological effects. this includes things such as salt concentrations in the ocean as seen in the film, the day after tommorow, but we know the effect would not be as epic as we see in the film.
5. flooding can happen in cycles and tends to shift around the world, the sahara desert was once the sahara ocean.
6.most weather and climate changes are gradual and take thousands of years.
7. recent evidence shows that the planets temperature overall may be DECREASING even with the strange weather we are experiencing.
this is my opinion on the subject based on fact, not simulations or predictions or media hype. global warming does not exist, however an important note is that the ozone layer is being depleted by CFC emmisions. this causes harmful rays to penetrate the ozone layer and they can damage our skin. while most CFC emmisions have stopped the ozone damage is clear, one chlorine atom from a cfc can destroy 100 molecules of ozone in the free radical substitution reaction. more information on this is available on the internet.
