Question

Global cooling??? global warming??? Climate Change

In the 1950 and 60s the media was spreading stories about the impending global cooling from the world's most eminent scientists. Then in the 1990s (these same eminent scientists) were saying the earth was warming... then they decided to change the whole issue to "climate change". I guess if you can't get it right, change the name.

So there is this so called movement that claims the "science is settled". The climate is changing and if you don't believe it your are a "denier" . What I would like you to discuss is the this point the "science is settled" claim. When in human history has any science been settled? Who has the audacity or authority to make the statement that any science is settled? Has the climate of the earth is its billions of years of history ever "changed" before?

Global cooling??? global warming??? Climate Change

Formation of cloud , water vapour in cloud free region gives a positive feedback that eh science has finally settled over a concensus that there are changes which take splace in the climate. The increase in temperature and it's effect are so slow that it is very hard for anyone to register day to day changes but when compared over a long period of time it was observed that earth is getting warm and is termed as global warming.
