Examine the possible causes of global temperature changes

• Diana Monroy

  It is or is not global warming, we are cooling or heating?

  If the Sun is suffering from sunspots (parts of the cold plasma on the surface) and the Earth is in the atmosphere of the Sun: *Does this mean climate change is a cooling of the Earth? * WhatIf the Sun is suffering from sunspots (parts of the cold plasma on the surface) and the Earth is in the atmosphere of the Sun: *Does this mean climate change is a cooling of the Earth? * What is/where is this global warming?. * Can there be similar the graphics of the Maunder Minimum and the Earth's climate in recent times?

    Waooo... O.o Clear impossible...really thanks I will study it... Although I think that lighter not so you could have said... Thank you..But seriously I was looking for the graphic and not found andWaooo... O.o Clear impossible...really thanks I will study it... Although I think that lighter not so you could have said... Thank you..But seriously I was looking for the graphic and not found and I'm glad that I take more I askingyou that your answer me... It is a subject much discussed with several university professors from Bogota colombia (here)...and I tell you... =D..

  Is the current interglacial the real "culprit" behind Global Warming?

  Looking for expert on Ice Age "Cycles" (glacial/interglacial) to discuss and ultimately prove or disprove my theory that the interglacial we are currently experiencing is still causing a slow butLooking for expert on Ice Age "Cycles" (glacial/interglacial) to discuss and ultimately prove or disprove my theory that the interglacial we are currently experiencing is still causing a slow but constantly warming effect on the Earth's climate. If established research has been done on this subject, your direction to it's web-site, etc., would be greatly appreciated so that I won't need to "re-invent the wheel". I've done some fair amount of research concerning Ice Ages, Milankovitch Cycles, etc., and determined from my studies that the Earth should slowly continue to warm, until either: 1. Most or all global ice (Polar ice caps, glaciers, mountain snowpacks, snowfields, etc.) has melted, resulting in average global temperature stabilization. 2. The Earth enters another Ice Age (glacial). If the Earth's ice melts, the Earth's global albedo (reflectivity) will lower, meaning it will absorb more of the sun's light and heat energy, resulting in temperature increase (ie: Global Warming). Warming encourages more ice melt and the cycle repeats. Also, the sea levels will slowly continually rise. (There is evidence that during past warm periods in Earth's history, the sea levels have been up to 30 feet higher than today's level). Al Gore, I speculate, would say the Earth's average global temperature should not be rising, (more or less stabilized), and the warming is caused by CO2 from fossil fuels, etc. I show here how warming is a natural occuring effect of the Earth, and do not expect temp stabilization at this point. I try to read most articles I can find concerning G/W, but haven't seen anything discussing what I'm trying to describe here. Please let me know if you need more details, clarification, etc., if I have it right, or where I'm wrong. Do you know if there's a video/movie showing what I've described? Thank you for any responses and your time. -Ken

    Everyone, Thank you for everyone's responses, it will take some time to digest it all and reply to each of your comments (plus I've already lost 2 of my writeups/replies due to laptop issues). IEveryone, Thank you for everyone's responses, it will take some time to digest it all and reply to each of your comments (plus I've already lost 2 of my writeups/replies due to laptop issues). I have no schooling in any of the climate related sciences and may need to do some research/studying if your comment is a bit "over my head", so please bear with me. I'm driven by my sheer interest in Ice Ages, and deep concern with the E.P.A. pushing Cap-and-Trade, and the U.N. working hard on Agenda 21, makes this in my mind very important, even urgent, that we need to understand as much as we can about GW/CC. I believe Al Gore may be at least partially wrong, and possibly mostly wrong about GW, and will expliot this for substantial financial gain at everyone else's expense. Is GW caused strictly by man's generated CO2, only by natural occuring influences (sun, interglacial, etc.), or a certain percentage/combination of the two? Again, thank you for your replies, and will be posting shortly -Ken

    Yes, most definately sounds like a meteor, and probably something in the large rock to boulder sized object, which would put on a spectacular light show as Mr. Piers described.

  distance between earth and sun

  I have a question. If we can adjust the distance between earth and sun, we can control the climate change, right?

  Composition of Earth's Core...

  Hi... I know this is a very disputed topic, but I need to know if anyone can tell me what physical state the core of the earth is in, and what its composition is. I need to know thisHi... I know this is a very disputed topic, but I need to know if anyone can tell me what physical state the core of the earth is in, and what its composition is. I need to know this along with supporting data, so if you could please provide me with the published papers regarding the same, I would be grateful to you, as I wish to put forward a hypothesis, before which I need to strengthen my base in geology and learn more about what others have found out through seismic sensing and other analyses. Thanks!

I read about that when I was a student some time ago, and since this is not my favoured scientific field I am not up to date. However, I will see if I can find that article somewhere.
