Liberty University: Global Warming
Are SUVs causing global warming? - 02/27/07
Every time the nightly news airs there is some sort of product on the market, which after fed to a rat for three years, has been proven as a cause of cancer. Global warming on the other hand, when tested on rats, has a 100 percent mortality rate-that is, if you test the deadliness of global warming by placing the rats into microwave ovens.
In fact, if the world were transformed to match the conditions inside microwave ovens, life would cease to exist. According to many leading scientists and "experts" like Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom, the world is indeed on its way to its boiling point, and it is carbon emitters like SUVs and factories that are to blame. Here are a few reasons to believe otherwise.
First - Sun Flare Data. According to the American Institute of Physics, "a recent study by researchers at Duke University and the Army Research Office has found new evidence of a link between solar flare activity and the earth's temperature."
Second - the climate changes of Mars. Our nearby planetary neighbor Mars has also been undergoing some climatic changes recently. Space.com published an article that said, "Mars may be in the midst of a period of profound climate change, according to a new study that shows dramatic year-to-year losses of snow at the south pole." An article from the Hartland Institute quotes a NASA study that concluded that "the planet Mars is undergoing significant global warming."
Third - the Medieval Warm Period. "Norse seafaring and colonization around the North Atlantic at the end of the 9th century was generalized as proof that the global climate then was warmer than today," according to the National Satellite and Information Service Web site.
Fourth - there is what is known as the Global Cooling Scare. In an article published in the India Times, the author stated, "Things were different in 1940-70, when there was global cooling. Every cold winter then was hailed as proof of a coming new Ice Age. But the moment cooling was replaced by warming, a new disaster in the opposite direction was proclaimed."
