Most projects aimed at carbon offsetting are “verging on a gigantic scam”. These evocative words were uttered by the renowned British Earth Scientist James Lovelock. Going green is all the rage in industrialised countries. Many companies are clawing up profits from industries that focus on carbon emissions reduction. Businesses are jostling for the spotlight to be seen as green.
Last month, major supermarkets in Britain voluntarily decided to stop selling 100 watt light bulbs which have for a long time not been considered eco-friendly. This caused an up roar by some critics who felt that this was a total waste of time. Many commentators felt that this would not make a difference because most products in our homes, tend not to be easily recycleable. It can be argued that even though this is a small gesture by big businesses to contribute towards carbon offsetting, it does make a difference and moves us one step further.
A good number of scientists have issued warnings that we will have to redouble our efforts in our fight against global warming. The question that is now on everyone’s lips is whether we can still save our planet. Is it too late?
In other parts of the world, the threat of climate change is more real and is a matter of life and death. Changes in the temperature of our planet are making food more scarce especially in the third world. According to the World Health Organisation, Africa bears the brunt of the approximately 150,000 deaths per year that occur globally because of climate change.
In 2007 the ICCP confirmed that the planet had warmed 0.74 degrees celsius since the beginning of the 20th century. The shifts in temperature that have occurred over the past few years can be attributed to mostly carbon emissions in the industrialised world. About 40 per cent of emissions in the United Kingdom are the result of decisions taken directly by individuals. Africa’s contribution to green house gases from vehicles and other industries is a minuscule 3.8%. Most carbon emissions released through slashing and burning - a method common in the third world - are mopped up by Africa’s vast forests which make up 17% of the worlds forests.
While the disastrous effects of climate change are being felt in the third world, there has been refusal by some individuals to admit that humans are the drivers in this whole situation.
Some commentators have maintained that climate change is a planetary cycle that has happened before and could correct itself.
Sammy Wilson a Member of Parliament in Britain recently made a controversial statement when he said that “spending billions on trying to reduce carbon emissions is one big giant con that is depriving third world countries vital funds to tackle famine, Hiv and other diseases”. This statement raised some eyebrows among environmentalists. What the distinguished gentleman fails to realise is that there is a link between our environment and how we thrive in it.
It’s quite startling to think that people can ignore the science which clearly shows the impact global warming is having on our planet.
Being indifferent and not acknowledging what is happening may be a big gamble that could accelerate this man made catastrophe.

I like reading M. Kerjman of this pages-and his last work ”Modern Epoch Air Trading: The WILL for TRIUMPH” is next lovely one http://www.articlesbase.com/politics-articles/modern-epoch-air-trading-the-will-for-triumph-1033657.html
However, you can read Michael Kerjman ’s articles on a topic here to further proceed.
The Sun, Water vapor, Earth’s orbit, Volcanoes, Interstellar clouds, Cosmic rays, Tectonic plates, Land use, CO2, Sunspots, Gravitational pulls, Ocean currents and Solar flares. Imagine each one of these as a 100,000 piece puzzle and mix them all together. Now randomly take out 1/4 of all the pieces and try to put it together. This represents our world and its environment.
Global Warming Lies was created because when you do an internet search on global warming 99% of what you find is how the Earth is doomed and we are all going to drown from global warming. This isn’t the case, in fact most climatologists will tell you differently. Global Warming Lies is an attempt to break down the science into every day language, provide facts, use logic and common sense instead of the “You’re going to die” method
Every Climatologist will tell you the Earth’s temperature has been much hotter and colder than it is now.
There was an Ice Age and it warmed up, there was a Mini Ice Age just 500 years ago and it has been warming up ever since. The Industrial Revolution was not around during those periods.
NASA reports because of Solar Flares the Sun is the hottest it has been in over 100 years. There are no cars on the sun.
Global warming is causing ice to melt on Mars. There are no cars on Mars.
Thousands and thousands of studies and experiments prove that more carbon dioxide produces better fruits, vegetables, trees and almost any sort of plant life.
Most of the temperature increase happened before 1940 (Before most carbon dioxide was released by cars and factories)
The hot year of 1998 was caused by El Nino.
Joining the Kyoto Protocol would cost the U.S. approximately $400 Billion every year and would have virtually no effect on earths temperature.
April 28, 1975 Newsweek printed an article about scientists predicting doom and gloom because of Global Cooling.
Global Warming Lies and many millions of other people who don’t believe global warming is man made have never received money from any oil company.
Climate models do not take into account water vapor that is 95% of the atmosphere.
The United Nations left out two statements that were supposed to be in the final draft of a paper on Global Warming.
1) “None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed climate changes to increases in greenhouse gases.”
2) “No study to date has positively attributed all or part of the climate change to man–made causes”
There are six billion people on Earth, a colder climate and/or less carbon dioxide would have devastating effects worldwide.
I wish I could take credit for this but I can’t, it’s a webpage with news articles on everything global warming is blamed for.
Global Warming blamed for everything
If you don’t believe global warming will destroy the earth you will be accused of working for an oil company.
Ways to stop producing carbon dioxide
Stop breathing - When you exhale you release carbon dioxide
Dont drive - We all know how bad driving is
Don’t live in a house/apartment/condo or any building that uses gas or electricity - Homes produce 2-3 times as much carbon as cars.
Don’t wear shoes or any sort of clothing produced in a factory. Grow a cotton field and make your own clothes by hand.
Quit school - Those school buildings produce more carbon in a year then you do in 20 years.
Eat meat raw - Whether you’re using gas or electric both produce carbon dioxide.
Turn off this monitor and computer - You hypocrite.
Don’t use toilets, urinate or poo in your back yard - The water to your house is cleaned and sent to your house using pumps that use electricity.
Stop exercising - Increasing your heart rate increases the amount of oxygen you take in and turn into carbon dioxide.
Die - Dying younger means you will do all of the above less. Living one year less means you will save the earth 8.4 tons of carbon dioxide every year you’re not here
