May I just remind people of Global Cooling,
Myth #7
Is helping the environment a good thing? Hell yeah
should we put a halt to productivity because of it? Hell no.
People if I could just remind you that the earth experienced a mini Ice age (not human related) and is now coming back from it.
Myth #26 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/coming-out-of-ice-age.htm]
Scientists have sent satellites into space to measure how much the ACTUAL temperature changed, not even worth a cough at.
Myth #35 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/satellite-measurements-warming-troposphere.htm]
Surface temperature has gone yes because of cars and movement and technology (blah blah blah) but not because it's affecting the earth.
It's called friction and enough of that creates heat.
On a 90 degree day, the city will be a whole lot hotter than an open plain.
Myth #19 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/urban-heat-island-effect.htm]
Imagine a room.
now imagine your in the room and one by one more people come into the room
The rooms overall temperature will not change but it will sure feel like it.
The earths temperature was a whole lot hotter before the industrial revolution.
Myth #2 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/climate-change-little-ice-age-medieval-warm-period.htm]
The Hocky stick theory is more like the boomerang
Myth #24 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/broken-hockey-stick.htm]
and Al gore is an idiot, but we all know that all ready
Myth #11 [http://www.skepticalscience.com/al-gore-inconvenient-truth-errors.htm]

watch this video for facts against global warming
The whole freakin' page of myths. [http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php]
Finally I'm just saying stop hyping up the news, the news emphasizes bad, that's what it does, it doesn't speak the truth for there is no truth, there's the view of the time.
Listen to your textbooks if you want but just keep in mind this, textbooks once said the world was flat and you could survive a nuclear bomb if you hid under a desk
Ah, so you suggest that everybody develop everything from first principles, or should we only trust the texts that
you like?
also to whoever said we're insects I couldn't say it better myself. We're nothing compared to the earth. Read the opening to the Jurasic Park book, and that is signally the greatest way to describe how much we affect the earth
Just like a raindrop is nothing compared to New Orleans, right? Try thinking in large numbers.
Credit where credit is due, however, I normally don't see such a large collection of the lower ranked myths in one place.
However, might I suggest that in future when you do your "research" you perhaps follow your own advice and go further than the nearest link on the internet. Try digging into the actual data that's present in the scientific journals The site I've linked you to here has enough citations that can get you started in some real research.
