	Global warming controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some opponents of global warming theory give more weight to data such as paleoclimatic studies, temperature measurements made from weather balloons, and satellites which they claim show less warming than surface land and sea records, though early balloon records have been shown to be possibly erroneous due to mechanical design flaws in the sensors.
		Global warming skeptics sometimes dispute the claim that (or relevance of) a consensus of scientists supports the view of global warming presented by the IPCC, and say that not even all the IPCC authors support the reports.
		Another point of controversy regarding anthropogenic global warming is the investigation of temperature correlations with the solar variation.

	Global warming - Simple English Wikipedia
		Global Warming is the name given to the theory (idea) that the world's atmosphere (air) has become hotter over the last two hundred years.
		Most of the warming of the last 50 years is believed to be a result of increases in the greenhouse effect caused by human-generated carbon dioxide (CO); variations in the amount of heat from the sun and other natural causes also play a role.
		The extent and likelihood of these consequences is a matter of considerable controversy, with environmentalist groups typically emphasizing the possible dangers and groups close to industry questioning the climate models and consequences of global warming.

	sociology - Global warming
		Global warming is a term used to describe an increase over time of the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
		Global warming theories attempt to account for the rise in average global temperatures since the late 19th century (0.6 ± 0.2°C) [1] [2] and assess the extent to which the effects are due to human causes.
		Use of the term "global warming" generally implies a human influence — the more neutral term climate change is usually used for a change in climate with no presumption as to cause and no characterization of the kind of change involved, such as the Ice Ages.

		Global warming was once an uncommon term used by a few scientists who were growing concerned over the effects of decades of pollution on long-term weather patterns.
		Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth’s climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans.
		The global warming controversy is a debate about the specific causes of the increase in global average air temperature since the mid-1800s, the prediction of additional warming, and the consequences of that warming.

		Although the movie dramatizes the reality of climate change, the greater distortion is that the Bush administration has denied the scientific consensus on global warming and has taken no steps to curb global warming pollution.
		But the Bush administration is failing to act on them and continues to put its head in the sand regarding global warming.
		The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that greenhouse gas emissions "have contributed substantially to the observed warming over the last 50 years.' Grim predictions of sea level rise and the spread of infectious disease raised the issue of global warming in the minds of many Americans.

	The Next Big Storm (Science and the Media / Doubt and About)
		The debate over whether and to what extent global warming may be influencing the behavior of the world's hurricanes is scientifically complex, rife with data issues, and superimposed atop a disciplinary rift between climate scientists and hurricane forecasters as well as a politically charged debate over what, if anything, needs to be done about it.
		Global warming (defined as an average increase in global temperatures) can never be determined to "cause" a specific storm.
		However, global warming may affect a great many environmental factors that could, in turn, strengthen hurricanes on average and increase their destructive potential.

		The "curious train of logic" Crichton uses in comparing global warming to eugenics is that both shared the same hallmarks of social movements supported by politicians, academics and celebrities, despite little hard science backing the claims of the movement.

	Newsback - Some Realism in the Global Warming Controversy
		Now recently our socialist comrades had a conference in Montreal on global warming where the main subject seemed to be the castigation of the USA for not supporting Kyoto.
		World leaders gathered in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 to consider a world treaty restricting emissions of ''greenhouse gases,'' chiefly carbon dioxide (CO2), that are thought to cause ''global warming'' severe increases in Earth's atmospheric and surface temperatures, with disastrous environmental consequences.
		Predictions of global warming are based on computer climate modeling, a branch of science still in its infancy.

	Role of Controversy
		There would not be much of a global warming controversy if increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were perceived to produce an effect of theoretical curiosity- but an effect deemed irrelevant for serious changes in the climate.
		Intriguingly, in the greenhouse warming debates, the natural variability of the climate system is frequently misused in a manner surprisingly analogous to the misuse of scientific uncertainty, as explained above.
		Thus, for the observed, roughly 0.6°C warming over the past 130 years, Ostriches can properly argue that this might be a natural warming cycle that has nothing to do with the in-creasing greenhouse gases.

	CFACT: Revised data heats up Global Warming controversy
		The implication of the skeptics’ argument is that whatever warming seems to be happening on the Earth’s surface, similar warming isn’t happening in the atmosphere.
		This might mean that any observed surface warming is more likely due to the urban heat island effect -- where the heat-retaining properties of concrete and asphalt in urban areas artificially increase local temperatures -- rather than increasing atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
		Moreover, aside from the controversy over the satellite and weather balloon data, many key climate questions remain unanswered including: whether humans are causing significant warming; whether warming is undesirable; and whether anything be done to avert any undesirable warming.

		In the 1990s, Seitz began arguing that the science behind global warming was likewise inconclusive and certainly didn't warrant imposing mandatory limits on greenhouse-gas emissions.
		Thus nothing was accomplished to halt or slow global warming, which naturally favored the designs of those who had a vested interest in seeing that no limits be placed on green house gas emissions.
		It may be too late to stop all of the impacts of global warming from occurring, but it is never too late to begin waking people up to the real danger posed by their continuing apathy to politics, on the one hand, and/or their misguided "conservative" ideological beliefs, on the other.
