Scientific Proof of Global Warming
Despite any confusion that you might be facing, the facts on global warming are not up for debate.
It is true that there are some natural causes of global warming. However, there is no doubt amongst the world’s leading experts that the current dangerous warming trend is primarily caused by humans.

Proof From the Experts
Human activities are most likely causing global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. The results of this report are significant since the IPCC is the leading group of scientist that evaluate climate change-related research.
There’s no reason for you to doubt the scientists. There are some people who will attempt to confuse you by claiming that the idea that humans cause climate change is “just a theory” and therefore shouldn’t be taken seriously. But this is a dangerous misrepresentation of how scientists use the word ‘theory’. (If you are interested, you can quickly learn how to stop the spread of this kind of misinformation using these innovative tactics).
The evidence is overwhelming in its support of the theory that humans cause climate change. The most important piece of evidence for you to understand is the direct correlation between the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global average temperatures. As carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased, so has the average temperature on Earth. In fact, many of the activities you do every day contribute to this problem.
You need to understand
the basics of scientific theories
You’re probably used to using the word ‘theory’ to indicate that you are uncertain about something. When scientists use the word ‘theory’, they mean it in a different way than you are probably used to using it in casual conversation.
Scientific theories are like facts. Scientific theories are well-tested and generally believed to be true by the scientific community. You don’t doubt the scientific ‘theory’ of gravity because the evidence so overwhelmingly supports it, and popular culture has come to accept it as a fact. However, scientists wouldn’t consider gravity’s existence a fact because they always leave open the possibility that new evidence will lead to a new theory.
Global warming is as accepted as gravity in the sense that human-caused global warming has been researched extensively and almost all scientists believe it is happening.
Are Catastrophic Effects
Around the Corner?
There are many dangerous effects from global warming that have the potential to cause the extinction of humanity. Fortunately, there is still time to reduce these effects, but you must take action.
You should start by making sure that everyone has access to good information. That is why it is critically important that you learn to share this proof before it’s too late.

More and more scientists and thinking people all over the world are realizing that man-made global warming is a hoax that threatens our future and the future of our children. More than 700 international scientists dissent over man-made global warming claims. They are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechangefraud.com/content/view/3562/218/
Additionally, 32,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate…” http://www.petitionproject.org/index.html
“Progressive” (communist) politicians like Obama seem determined to force us to swallow the man-made global warming scam. We need to defend ourselves from the United Nations and these politicians, who threaten our future and the future of our children. Based on a lie, they have already wasted billions and plan to increase taxes and increase the cost of energy, which will limit development, destroy our economy and enslave us.
If not stopped, the global warming scam will enrich the scammers (Gore and Obama’s Wall Street friends), increase the power of the United Nations and communists like Obama, and multiply poverty and servitude for the rest of us.
Einstein did indeed question the theory of gravity, against the overwhelming consensus of his day. He won.
Then Hawking questioned the theory of gravity, against the overwhelming consensus of his day…
There are plenty of reasons to doubt the scientists starting with the simple and absolute fact that they do not have a perfect track record and if anything quite far from it. Scientists were once convinced the earth was flat. They were convinced for some time the Sun revolves around the Earth. They have manipulated data throughout history. There is no reason whatsoever for me to consider them as somehow being better than the rest of us and incapable of being corrupted or manipulative or just plain wrong. I not only have to continue to doubt them but I also have to continue to consider them human beings like the rest of us - no better and no worse.
Trying to portray theories as “like facts” is just beyond the pale. A theory is a really good starting point for trying to determine facts. A theory is an idea and facts are what we are left with if and when the theory is tested and if right proven to be true. Theories and facts are clearly two different things. In terms of gullible warming the theory just as clearly has not be proven to be true. Theories are not proven to be true by taking a poll. Consensus is not good science - it is a poll. You don’t get facts that way - you get opinions.
You cannot mix 1% falsehood with 99% truth and still have the truth. You have a lie at that point whether you like it or not. Gullible warming simply has too high a percentage of lie to be considered absolute truth as you propose.
There is no science in that article. The author says there is proof, then offers NO PROOF.
In fact there is no proven link between CO2 and global warming, none. If there is, please show it.
There is no direct correlation between the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global average temps. there is no empirical eveidence point to any correlation to carbon dioxide and global warming there is no historical climate data to support it. Only recent data is even available and humanity has nothing on volcanoes and biological piles of decomposing matter on earth and by far an away the problem would be methane but no one want to forgo beef and pigs.
I am a student required to do a research paper on global warming. I’ve read hours and hours of information point/counterpoint on this issue. I wanted to share this tiny point I discovered in my research. I found that all the information attempting to “debunk” the global warming propaganda movement had the author’s name and reputation at the top of the page and I researched every individual that wrote an article and most if not all were PHd’s and scientists.. While the proponents of the g.w. movement published articles that were vague at best with regard to the author. If there was a name cited, it was usually written by someone not even associated with the scientific community. All this has led me to believe that, as usual, the motives behind this are money and power…
I lived in Germany for 10 years and they are all about the planet and recycling and observing a respect for nature and attempt to assimlilate within it. I believe we have an obligation as a species to stop using the planet as an expendible inexhaustable resource for our pleasure, comfort and livelihood and try and be more observant of the right to life for everything - flora and fauna - on the planet that we share.
It is a shame that the motives of a global awareness that we need to change our ways and become more “green” if you will, is power and greed and the outcome is hysteria.
Fact is, we do need to be less disposable in all our lives endeavours. Science is a blessing and keeps us from becoming mindless acolytes to whatever dogma is fed to us by the government.
AND WHO IS THIS GUY ANYWAY… HE DOESN’T EVEN SHOW UP WHEN YOU GOOGLE HIM AS A WRITER/SCIENTIST WHAT?
I read through expecting a punchline but I’m forced to conclude that the author is serious.
Silly boy.
Very humorous post, Brian. You claim to understand science, yet you reach the wrong conclusion. You have been brainwashed.
It’s too bad the alarmists have resorted to lies and distortions in an attempt to create fear to convince us that people cause climate change. And calling CO2 a pollutant only weakens their credibility.
Al Gore, when asked if he got rich off the global warming scare, got really indignant and never answered the question. He said he had the right to engage in free enterprise. But he manipulated the market by spreading lies and promoting panic. Now, he sells carbon credits, which are exactly like the churches in the Middle Ages selling pardons and penances. He is an old time snake oil salesman, and had done a great job of self promotion. In the past, he would be tarred and feathered.
It is not entirely clear to me why alarmists continue to deny the truth, that climate change happens and there isn’t much we can do about it. The alarmists are now the deniers. Do a Google search on Antarctic Ice Melting. Despite the fact that the Antarctic ice pack is growing, not melting, you will find many sites from supposedly reputable organizations that claim that melting is happening, and that it is rapid and increasing.
The cap and trade plan that Obama is pushing has the potential to destroy our economy. Are you prepared to pay, on average, another $3,100 a year for power? That’s what MIT researchers say it will cost, although they downplay the impact by claiming that only the rich would pay. Obama wants billions for health care, and intends to get it from cap and trade, so it’s not true that all the money will be given back to the consumer.
In conclusion, I have to agree with Brian Liloia. We need to share the proof before it’s too late.
Brian, read your own column. You don’t even believe it completely. “Human activities are MOST LIKELY causing global warming.”
Oh, and great illistration for your article. I am guessing your a college student majoring in advertisemnt.
Wow, this is a great example of your typical global warming wacko. No facts, just correlations that mean nothing. Junk science. Also, your description of scientific theory as fact is absurd. The “theory” of gravity as you say, was disproven by Einstein years ago which is why it is just a theory and not law
