14 DAY TRIAL // They should really get this right once and for all. Is global warming triggered by the large emission of greenhouse gases by man or not? According to a handful of scientists in the U.S., mankind cannot be held responsible for the global warming effect currently observed on Earth. Strangely enough the American experts that conducted the study used the data provided by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which led to the conclusion that the greenhouse effect is provoked by man.
The report presented by the UN body and the former U.S. vice president Al Gore who won the Nobel Prize this year for his activity, clearly states that global warming is due to the greenhouse gases resulted in the burning of fossil fuel, and warns about the potential consequences of this process. On the other hand, the U.S. scientific group greatly disagrees and contests the previous findings, suggesting instead that man's contribution to the greenhouse effect is rather small and negligible, and the climatic changes the planet in currently experiencing are part of a natural cycle.
According to their observations the comparison between the atmospheric temperatures and the surface of the Earth does no reveal a direct connection between the greenhouse gas emissions and the warming tendency of the atmosphere, thus the global warming effect is independent of the negative impact produced by clouds and water vapors existent in the Earth's atmosphere, meaning the effects of the carbon dioxide emissions by humans are minimal.
The cyclic clime changes the planet is experiencing from time to time, could be greatly influenced by the action of the solar wind and variations of the magnetic field that controls the amount of sunlight hitting the surface of the Earth.
The group also suggests that the data used by the UN body are unreliable, as since the beginning of the 20th century temperature variations occurred without being influenced by huge quantities of greenhouse gases emitted by man. Instead they propose an extensive study, in which all the clime factors such as solar wind, magnetic field variation and the amount of sunlight filtered through Earth's atmosphere should be taken into consideration in order to determine if indeed mankind is influencing the clime.
