Run To State Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Actually its not too far from the truth. The earth is heated through convection currents in the ocean. Its the way earth distributes heat from the sun. When fresh water from melting polar ice caps mixes in with the salt water, it causes there currents to become weak and eventually stop all together. Therefor adequate heat isn't distributed.And the reason the oceans are cooling? Of course, these cycles have been happening since the beginning of time. None of this is a new phenomenon nor is it caused by mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will concede(unlike the opposite side) that if by chance we arent the cause, we certainly aren't helping things any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcesFull Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Actually its not too far from the truth. The earth is heated through convection currents in the ocean.

Therefor adequate heat isn't distributed.If the oceans are no longer efficiently distributing heat from the sun, then one would expect that ocean temperatures would be rising. Instead, global ocean temperatures have cooled over the past five years. What is the global warming alarmists' explanation for our cooling oceans? Energy is conserved, so what is happening to all of that alleged heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegooch Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 According to a Nasa study over the past thirty years ocean temperature has increased. Link to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will concede(unlike the opposite side) that if by chance we arent the cause, we certainly aren't helping things any. You have to realize there are as many scientists with no dog in the fight that disagree with the notion. I've read so many articles and studies from both sides and came to the logical conclusion that it's nothing more than normal cycles. That's why I'm opposed. Gooch, there's nothing we can do to control the sun. It really is that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can limit the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere which trap the over abundance of heat from the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegooch Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 We as humans don't emit enough to make a difference. I disagree. I have judged both sides of the argument(whether you believe me or not) and have found this one to be more logical. Until I am brought major proof disclaiming my beliefs I am inclined to believe in man-made global warming.
