I guess I am not allowed to answer since I am concerned about global warming.  I am also concerned about the massive population explosion of dim wits.  Both are great causes of concern.  But since you did not ask for solutions I will not give you what you did not ask for.  You seek to get blabble babble static and drivle...

Blame it on global warming.

to start with i will give you some of the bad news and finish with possible solutions.some of which are already in process.\n\nGLOBAL WARMING IS ONE OF THE MEGA THREATS OF THE PLANET EARTH AND IS AN EFFECT OF GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MISMANAGEMENT\n\nCARBON MONOXIDE\nchief causes for global warming are the destruction of the ozone and excessive carbon production ,because we have so many cars and so much land is being deforrested.\n\nthe trees absorb carbon emisions ,which is poison to us and they produce oxygen which we need to breathe.\n\nthe sea does as well but this is limited to winter periods how ever if the waters also heat up ,the seas will absorb less than ususal and we create more and more\n\nthe trees produce the air that we need to breathe.\ndeforestation must be stopped before desertification goes out of control and consumes the planet.\n\nother reasons are the burning of rubbish especially tires and plastic,and the exescive use of aerosprays which release gasses\n\nbecause of the green house effect and the desertification this planet is heating up\nEach degree rise in temperature signifies 10% crop loss\n\nDESERTIFICATION\nthe sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.\ntwo major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese\n\nthe trees evaporate a mist which ,which protects us from the strong rays of the sun .\n\nthe planet is drying out at an alarming rate.\n\nin the days of the dinasaurs this planet was under an aquiferus manta ,a mist that covered the entire earth ,and there were no desserts .\nCount how many there are today,and all of them are as a result of mans actions.\nthe sahara used to be forrests\narabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times\nGhengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.\n\nBad agricultural practises is turning vast teritories into desserts ,because of over grazing and the exessive pumping of carbon aquifiers ,the surface aquifiers already having been depleted.\nAnd the use of fertilisers and heavy machinery that compacts the ground which raises the salt in the soil.\nModern agriculture today is doing the same as ghengas kahn but in much bigger territories.\n\n\nit is a vicious circle of chain effects \nmore and more CO2,,and less and less factors that obsorb\nand hotter and hotter.\n\nAND AS A RESULT WE HAVE LESS AND LESS DRINKABLE WATER\nWATERSHORTAGE\neach year 70 million more people are consuming water but this is ,but a small part of what agriculture uses.\n\nso our consumption of water is ever increasing and our drinkable water supply is shrinking because of polution ,and the production of potable water is less all the time because of deforestation.\n\nin Tasmania one can already exchange one litre of water for 2 litres of petrol.\nit is predicted that the wars of the future will be for water.\nthe water we got in most populated places must be treated or purified before it is acceptable for human consumption.\n\nin Portugal and soutern Spain ,as in many places, wine is cheaper than water.Which would explain the many drunk people there\n\nwe are living in a bubble economy and when the bubble bursts\nfood prices will sky rocket,and so will the price of water.\n\nthe wars of the future will be for water\n\n\n\nRISING SEAS\nThe northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.\nthis does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.\n\nGreen land and the south pole ,which apperantly has a hole in the ozone the size of the usa,are another matter.\nthis is ice above the sea ,on the land, and melted water will return to the sea .and so duely affect sea levels.the sea has been rising for a long time.\nin portugal remains of Roman villas have been discovered 3/4 of a mile in the sea,and in one town the locals say that the sea is eating their town ,in recent years the D

>>> info saying global warming is not a big deal.\n>>> I got stuck on the side saying global warming does not\n>>> exist.\n\nHang on, are you arguing that it doesn't exist, or are you arguing that it's not a big deal? Those are two totally seperate arguments with no relationship to one another.\n\nIf you are arguing that it's not a big deal then I second the recommendation of Lomborg. \n\nIf you are arguing that it doesn't exist then Lomborg is worthless since he is one of the most vocal supporters of global wamring the world has ever seen. Lomborg is quite convinced that it exists and goes to lengths to convince others that it exists. He just doesn't  see it  as a catastrophe.\n\nAs you can see these are two totally separate issues, and you really need to tie down what you mean before you can even start your research.\n\nIf you really are attempting to argue that global warming does not exist you have an uphill battle.  AFAIK all scientists accept that it exists. The only argument is how much of it is caused by humans and what the efcets will be. You are really knobbled if you have to arguee against the entire scientific community. I can't believe your teacher would set this up.\n\nBut if that is the case then you are really restricted to a few essentially crank websites. I've provided a link to one of the best ones out there, but it's still not terribly scientific or accurate.\n\nGood luck and return if you need more help. And you're gonna need if you are arguing that global warming doesn't exist.

There very well could be.  The earth has had many temperature cycles.  The crowd that is currently talking about global warming was touting the theory that we were headed into the next ice age  thirty years ago.

Here's something to dwell on:\n\nGlobal Warming has become a religion run by fanatics reminiscent of the leaders of the darkest days of the Inquisition that nearly destroyed civil society only a few hundred years ago. We are not to question the great god of Global Warming. Those who do are separated from civil society and labeled as heretics. \n\nThe simple truth is there is no scientific consensus on Global Warming. In fact, as the media frenzy screams global warming, there are a growing number of scientists who are expressing their doubts.  In 1992, just prior to the UN’s Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, 425 scientists and other intellectual leaders signed The Heidelberg Appeal, a quiet call for reason in dealing with the climate change issue, which expressed a conviction that modern society is the best equipped in human history to solve the world’s ills, provided that they do not sacrifice science, intellectual honesty and common sense to political opportunism and irrational fears. Today, the Heidelberg Appeal has been signed by more than 4,000 scientists and leaders from 100 countries, including more than 70 Nobel Prize winners.\n\nAlso in 1992, another statement from some 47 atmospheric scientists was issued saying greenhouse global warming theories derive from highly uncertain scientific theories. The statement went on to say, "We are disturbed that activists, anxious to stop energy and economic growth, are pushing ahead with drastic policies without taking notice of recent changes in the underlying science."\n\nIn 1995, over 85 scientists and climate experts from research labs and universities worldwide, signed the Leipzig Declaration. In part it says, "In a world in which poverty is the greatest social pollutant, any restriction on energy use that inhibits economic growth should be viewed with caution. For these reasons, we consider ‘carbon taxes’ and other drastic control policies – lacking credible support from the underlying science – to be ill-advised, premature, wrought with economic danger, and likely to be counterproductive."\n\nIn 1997, a Gallop Poll of eminent North American climatologists shows that 83% did not support the claims of the green house theory of Global Warming.  In 1998, The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) issued a petition for signature by atmospheric scientists saying there is no scientific evidence indicating that greenhouse gases cause global warming. That petition was signed by more than 17,000 scientists and leaders involved in the issue. \n\nGlobal Warming scaremongers have tried to discredit these statements from the opposition, saying either they are too old to be counted in today’s debate or that they weren’t signed by real scientists. Neither is true. One only has to look at the signers on the documents and statements to know who and what they are. The relevance of the documents can be answered in two ways. First, most of the signers of these documents from the 1990’s hold the same positions today. Second, as is the fallacy in the Global Warming debate, such drastic climate changes, as described by scaremongers, would not come about overnight. Though the proponents would have you believe otherwise, 15 years is but a microsecond in the study of the earth’s activities.\n\nHowever, there is great question about the validity of the documents promoted by the Global Warming crowd. In May 1996, unannounced and possibly unauthorized changes to the United Nation’s report on climate change touched off a firestorm of controversy within the scientific community. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the science group that advises the United Nations on the global warming issue, presented a draft of its report in December 1995, and it was approved by the delegations. However, when the printed report appeared in May 1996, it was discovered that substantial changes and deletions had been made to the report to make it conform to the P

Yes.  Global Warming is occuring.  It will just keep getting worse if we don't take measures to try and prevent things from getting worse.

No.\n\nCO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.\n\nLook at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest, and 2006 is shaping up to maybe break that record.\n(see links below)\n\nHow's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.\n\nThere has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.\n\nYes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up. \n\nJust to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.\n\nHI CO2: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4467420.stm\nHOCKEY STICK: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5109188.stm\nGeneral climate stuff: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3897061.stm

Global warming is happening, 100%, there is no evidence the other way.  The only poblem with the data is the lack of data, we need more of it, more research.\n\nTell your teacher this:\n\nCO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater.

GLOBAL WARMING!!! this is a big issue. you could research a lot on that. or you could do the war in Iraq.

The fact that the globe has been slowly warming up ever since the last ice age should be reason enough to suspect that global warming isn't at all a catastrophe.  We people on Earth really need to start looking to other problems like natural resources.

Hasty and uninformed.  Usually global warming is used as a political tool for lobbyists.  There is no evidence that global warming exists.  It is just a theory based on data.  Another alternative theory is that the Earth heats and cools in cycles. \n\nPersonally, regardless of which theory you believe, I still think that pollution ought to be diminished.  It seems largely responsible as a carcinogen - causing cancer.  But then again, thats just my theory based on the apparent data.

We had a bit of summer the other week - maybe that was it for this year! Thank Mr George W Bush and his cronies for not believing global warming is changing the environment!\n\nP.S. I'm in Manchester, UK.

Global warming is the latest trend by Governments of the world to try to convince the population that we are at fault for warming the world.  The world's weather and climate has been changing regularly over the last 15,000 years - before cars and planes were invented.  Carbon dioxide is one of the most prolific gasses in our atmosphere because it is needed for plants to survive.  Without CO2, the plants would die and we would have no oxygen which is a by product of a plant and we would all die!  Remember all the other scare stories over the years - in the 60s it was nuclear bombs from Russia, then we had SARS and bird flu, then terrorists and don't forget the hole in the ozone layer.  Every couple of years, we get a major scare story to keep the world's population under control.  The effect of global warming is that we are all paying out so called green taxes that actually do nothing to stop the problem but it sure makes the Governments rich!  What is the point of worrying about future global warming when now you have people freezing to death in the winter because they cannot afford to heat their homes because the price of gas and electric has risen so much because of green taxes?  Or we are getting plagues of rats and other vermin because Councils only collect our rubbish every two weeks because recycling is top priority?  We really should solve todays problems first before we start worrying about something that will most likely never happen.

Many scientists believe that we are actually heading toward a global ice-age as opposed to a global warming.  \n\nAlthough a work of FICTION Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" provides evidence to support this.\n\nI suggest reading it (it's FIRST AND FOREMOST a good FICTION book, but is supported by genuine theories and statistics that ARE IN FACT from "Science" and "Nature" magazines, the worlds fore-most scientific mags)\n\nTo be honest I don't think we're experiencing anything unnatural about our environment right now.
