Talk:Global Warming

The description of global warming here on Green Wiki:

Global Warming From Green Wiki

"Global warming is the alleged increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation. It was namely then that the first increase in the Earth’s temperature was registered. The temperature became less than one degree higher, but just think of what it means on a global scale.

There is currently no consensus as to whether any increase is due to human activity."

... this statement is in stark opposition to the even-handed scientifically based description on Wikipedia itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming

To say there is no consensus is just not right, since the overwhelming scientific opinion about the science and fact of global warming is written in many reports referenced in the main Wiki article and links. Of course there are questions and scientists who for various reasons disagree with some of the published science, but in no way does this indicate "no consensus."

I suggest this site Green Wiki stay out of this scientific realm (which quickly becomes political in the non-scientific blogosphere) and just refer to the main entry for definitions and all the references (which do include skeptical scientists and controversies).

Thanks

Gary, it looks like someone came in and edited it specifically to say that, according to the page history. I'm deleting it now, but if you notice anything like that in the future please feel free to edit it yourself and make a note on the Talk page (like you did here!)

Ok, look. Global Warming is fake; a political scandal. The Earth is not entering a warming period. Do you remember back in the 80's when they said the Earth was going to freeze? Well it didn't, and it most certainly won't warm up. Ok, so the temperature rose 1°C, but that isn't even 1°F, that's like 0.5°F or maybe lower. Pollution is bad, but it's not creating a hole in the ozone layer. I mean seriously people, a hole in the ozone? What is this, Star Trek? Polar bears aren't dieing off, they are doing better than ever. If you watch the news, you'll see that they replay the same exact clip of the the same exact chunk of ice falling off. Do you know why they do that? Because that's the only piece of ice that's coming off those caps. It's probably just falling off naturally, actually, because the ice always falls off during summer and comes back in winter! Like Sarah Palin said, she knows more about ice than some stupid politican who hasn't been out of the Senate District in 50 years! Global Warming is fake, and no matter what you say, it will always be a political scandal. Construction  Worker    Do you need help?  20:40, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
