I've been reading and hearing a lot of climate change news lately (and in the past as well), but as learning is a part of one's life and trying to be a little more open-minded on different issues (accepting the fact that we all have opinions and perceptions of our own), I'm starting to believe that climate change isn't all that it's been cut out to be as per the news media's reports.
I find that BBC News has some interesting articles on how much alarmism is in the Climate change news lately.
check it out:
IMHO, I think that this idea of the dangers of climate change are being oversold.Hardly a day goes by without a new dire warning about climate change. But some claims are more extreme than others, giving rise to fears that the problem is being oversold and damaging the issue.
there's too much alarmist tendencies on the table here.
I recall reading one article on Wikileaks about the climate change issue. Go there if you like and make your own decision on it.
there's more from the above link (which I'll give later):
That could very well be.How much has the planet warmed up over the past century? Most people reckon between two and three degrees. They are not even close. The real figure, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is 0.6C
I also recall watching a video on the fallacies and misrepresentations of the pro climate-change people and the scoop is out that climate change has been happening on a natural basis since time immemorial.
It's not necessarily due to human investment in it's technologies, but more akin to the sun's solar flares:
The name of the film was: The Great Global Warming Swindle.
HEre's one reason that seems to resonate with me re: this issue:
To serve a purpose."The alarmists think that climate change is something extremely dangerous, extremely bad and that overselling a little bit, if it serves a good purpose, is not that bad."
Ah, yes. That makes sense of it all now.
Here's some insight:
Neat, eh??The difficulty for climate scientists is that their work has a political dimension.....
well, it's a sad day that any species would die off due to any human activity where-ever it may be......Take the study carried out by researchers at the Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica. It claimed a link between climate change and frog extinctions. ...The press had a field day, as it seemed to show global warming was causing damage now......
But take note:
It might seem to show a tendency to demonstrate something else here though.(Dr Pounds' team found that)....global warming is producing ideal conditions for a fungus to thrive which causes the disease, which then kills off the frogs. Critics say there's a problem with this theory. The fungus doesn't need high temperatures to wipe out frogs. It is killing frogs in different areas with different climates.
Dont' get me wrong. I'm all for ensuring that the planet stays healthy from human activity.
It's important that the planet and it's environment is sustained. Not necessarily for further human development but also for the environment itself. The environment does need to be protected. That's true.
but there's things here in this article and other articles that I've come across on the internet that seem to suggest that climate change isn't all that it's been made out to be.
there are sceptitcs around:( Dr. Pounds)......admitted (he) did not know how the fungus was affected by climate but was confident they had shown as statistical relationship.
read here from the link:But there is another group who are involved - climate change sceptics in the United States. ...criticising Dr Pounds' research to show you can't trust climate scientists or the journals they write in.....
Here's another BBC article that kind of substantiates the above view:
Simon Cox reports on how scientists are becoming worried by the quality of research used to back up the most extreme climate predictions.....Every week we are assailed by scare stories about the climate.
Here's the link for the above qoute:
sending out the truth is one thing, but alarmism on this( or any other issue) is another.
Or is it that climate change isn't what it's really made out to be??
Maybe it is all something that has been happening since 'forever' and climate change isn't an issue that it's supposed to be. Maybe there's other things that are behind the climate change movement.
Here's a YT link to climate change hoax that I found to be somewhat reputable amongst others.
There's another thing. when using instruments that show some warming of the plante's surface the actual recorded value is subject to some errors.
Most of the data that you hear about comes from surface weather stations.
Many of these are located in urban areas. Those urban areas have been expanding and using more energy ofc.
So when these stations observe a temperature rise, they are actually measuring an island effect that others like to call the "urban heat island effect".
Apparently, this urban heat island effect is real but small.
Here's the link to the above explanation and others too which bring about a number of arguments and counter-arguments on climate change issues:
IDK...I'm just voicing my opinion and maybe some of you would like to respond.
