Common sense should tell you, that it is not possible to get the average mean temperature of the globe, for one day, for one month or for one year, let alone, several years. I wish someone would write me back and tell me how they did that. That would go a long way in telling me and others how they come up with global warming. I mean, you would have to know what the average temperature of the globe was and what it is now to come up with a warming or cooling, for that matter. Now as far as CO2 causes warming, I am not sure that is correct. I thought that heat caused CO2 levels to rise, not CO2 caused the heat levels to rise. Anyway, where does the CO2 go in the winter time, on vacation? It is true that the winters have not been as sever as then I was a child, until the last couple. It looks like that we may have the winters I use to having growing up. I hope not, because they where cold, I mean very cold, and snowy. Having said all of that, let's say that there is global warming and it is man made. If the U.S.A. and some other countries try to to lower their carbon emissions but others don't, like Russia, India and China, that now are putting out more then the U.S.A., it won't work on a global scale. How is charging energy companies more to pollute, stop or lower the carbon emissions? It won't, the companies pass that on to the customer(mainly common people) and we end up paying more for the energy, how does that lower or stop the carbon emissions? It won't, it just means higher energy cost. How come, when we have had a cooler spring, in a while and it looks like we may have had a cooler summer, that don't count but if is was warmer that would have counted? A few more things, if we have global warming and it has been coming on slowly, then why is the polar bear in trouble? Isn't that what evolution is about? Wouldn't the polar bear have evolved? Last, but not least, why only the polar bear?
Thanks

Actually, dear father, it is possible to get the mean global temperature and scientists have been measuring it for years by taking temperature measurements at the same spots in the world. We have a fairly good record of world temperatures from 1880 to the present, with more temperatures going back further based on tree rings, coral growth, and documents written during those times. Regardless of whether global warming is man made or we are simply on a warming cycle in the evolution of our planet, we, as citizens of the world, should be trying to reduce our emissions as much as possible so that my kid won't have to wear a gas mask to work when she's 50.
ReplyDeleteThere are several,I mean several,places that the temperatures is not taken nor has it been recored. Like the Gobi desert, Guyana, Bangladesh, Viet Nam, Uganda and Burma just to name a few. So I guess they just guess right Daughter?
ReplyDeleteDo you have to have a temperature for every single place on the planet to claim a warming trend?
ReplyDeleteYes if you can't get most temperatures how can you have a good average. The biggest problem, dear daughter, 70% of the globe is oceans and they don't take that temperature. Oceans and their currents have a lot more to do with warming and colling, as a matter of fact, and a lot more then CO2 does.
