    Common sense on Climate Change. What greenhouse gas is most responsible for Earth's...

    Water vapor is the principle greenhouse gas responsible for the greenhouse effect. The mixing ratio or concentration of water vapor varies greatly from place to place and thus does the strength of the greenhouse effect. Warm tropical rain forests remain warm at night, while dry deserts heat up...

    CLIMATE CHANGE a threat?

    A shift in climate zones toward the poles will force a shift in arable land and precipitation patterns. Sources of fresh water, near where most people live will be challenged. The basic needs of humans and other creatures will be taxed as the regions which now optimally provide for these things...

    how would climate change effect cyclone rate?

    I assume you are referring to tropical cyclones. Hurricanes and Typhoons. The emerging consensus is that a warming climate will lead to little change in the frequency of Atlantic Hurricanes and maybe even a reduction in their numbers. However, the storms that do form will have a greater...

    In your opinion, will we see a cooling trend?

    I would expect some regions to cool, while a great many more regions warm with a net overall warming being evident. You also may notice some years being cooler than the preceding years due to natural variability which has always been present, but the longer term trend will be a warming one. A...

    i wonder if they are the same thing?

    Changing climate involves more than just temperature. Climate is the average weather experienced over extended periods of time. Think of what constitutes weather. For example, rain, snow, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, cloud amount. All these aspects of weather, and more, are subject to...

    Do Climate Change Skeptics Distort The Scientific Evidence?

    By interpreting the available evidence differently than the mainstream scientific community, do skeptics present arguments intentionally or not based on false premises. The Earth has not warmed since 1998 The warmest year globally was 1934 Arctic sea ice extent is recovering during the winter...
