A New Investigative Website on Global Warming Offers Unique Insights and Graphics Covering Existing Competing Theories
Release of a new website on global warming dealing with the competing theories of greenhouse gases and influences from the sun.
Most scientists believe that the current global warming is caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases and that the most important of these gases is Carbon Dioxide or CO2.
(PRWEB) February 26, 2007 — Release of a new website on global warming dealing with the competing theories of greenhouse gases and influences from the sun.
Its all over the news. The worlds climate is getting warmer. Glaciers worldwide are melting.
However scientists who study the Sun have long noted similarities between solar activity and terrestrial weather patterns and the weather changes of the last century is not something unique. Given the relative small changes in the observed irradiance “heat emitted from the sun,” those changes in temperatures during past centuries are hard to explain if no other types of influence from the Sun are included.
Therefore, rather than having a solid theoretical and measured basis for how much man-made greenhouse gases affect the climate, the made estimations are mostly down to deduction.
They argue: Its know how much the temperature has increased so therefore one can calculate how much a specific increase in greenhouse gases will increase the global temperature in the future. This calculation has been made thorough deduction by scientists as they already have attributed the previous known increase to be greenhouse driven.
It does this by examine the relationship between greenhouse gases and global warming. It also deals with the close relationship between the variation in the Suns long term magnetic activity and recent warming. It takes a critical view on current climate research and its relationship to research funding and the news media.
They also believe that the suns influence on this warming is very small.
Current knowledge over how much a specific increase of CO2 will have on global temperature is poor. The reason in that our understanding of how greenhouse gases affect cloud formation is mostly down to speculations. Cloud formation physics is a complicated process which includes many different factors.
Its now known that the irradiance or “heat transfer” from the sun to the Earth has varied relative little during recent decades.
Therefore the conclusion most scientists have done is that the resent warming must be man-made. This is because they havent found any other reasonable explanation.
Currently there is a lack of information dealing with the climate, current warming and climate predictions which includes both competing theories. A new website has therefore been created on this controversial subject which attempts to be a repository on global warming by collecting the most important graphs and information in one place.
It was not until the Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark suggested that cosmic radiation could influence cloud cover that a plausible explains for this apparent correlation was given.
