What is the Real Cause of Global Warming?

In summary, this old man tells a story about how the weather has changed recently, and how he believes that it's because of climate change. He also mentions that the sun rises in a different direction now, which he believes is because of climate change. However, he does not provide any scientific evidence to support his claims.

Finally, we now know the cause of global warming

Here is Simeonie Aqpik describing the shift in the weather, and why the Inuit knew the climate would change. Most of what tells is exactly what the AGW scaremongers love to hear, but wait, he also knows the reason why:

the sun rises from a different direction these days. I always use the sun as a guide, so I have noticed the difference.

There you go, and we were all thinking that it was the greenhouse gasses. So what does this say about the hype, anecdotal evidence, affirming the consequent fallacy etc, etc,

If the direction the sun rose in were changing so significantly, wouldn't there be noticable changes at the equinoxes & solitices viewed from stone circles such as stonehenge, and other more definte mesaurements to back this up?

:uhh: Perhaps don't tell NASA, they would get quite upset if the sun would show up even a few arc seconds off.

Andre,

You missed the true problem here! Mr. Aqpik now wears warmer clothing than he did a long time ago. Ergo, warmer clothing causes global warming! ;)

"There you go"? Are you seriously suggesting that not only is this scientific evidence, but that it also ends the debate?

What do you call this entire story if not anecdotal evidence?

Obviously my lessons in irony have not worked a bit. So there must be :biggrin: :wink: :bugeye: first to recognise what's going on.

I feel it a bit humiliating having to add the obvious: see how anectdotal evidence, selective memory and fantasy of an old man creates a story about warming, which is even taken seriously enough to publish as apparent evidence of global warming. As this seems to be cherished by the scaremongers, that they don't even mind those obvious blatant errors.

What is global warming?

Global warming is the gradual increase in the Earth's overall temperature, primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

What are greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and ultimately leading to global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases.

How do we know that global warming is happening?

Scientists have been able to track and measure the Earth's temperature over time through various methods, such as satellite data, ocean temperature readings, and ice core samples. These data show a clear trend of increasing temperatures over the past century, correlating with the rise in greenhouse gas emissions.

What are the consequences of global warming?

The consequences of global warming include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, changes in weather patterns, and negative impacts on wildlife and their habitats. It also has serious implications for human health, as it can lead to heat-related illnesses and the spread of diseases.

What can we do to address global warming?

To address global warming, we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable practices in areas such as transportation, agriculture, and waste management. It is also crucial to raise awareness and advocate for policies and actions that mitigate the effects of global warming.
