Global Warming and the consequences - is it real?

Hi guys!
I am writing my main project in school about climate changes and the long term consequences. Mainly my focus is on Greenland and the melting ice sheet. I was wondering, if anybody have some sources showing me the consequences of global warming? I am mainly interested in relevant sources with concrete numbers and facts about the changes.

I hope somebody is able to help me!
Thank you in advance

Kind regards,
Kirstine

Hi IB,

Do you have any more current links which perhaps show the oscillations of the ice sheet? *That* would be brilliant. 2005, 2009 are not real recent and the piece from Cliff Harris is unfortunately not dated:-(

Thanks, Ceist. I love "big picture" blogs. Maybe I'll get addicted too.
*And* it looks like he keeps it updated..-)

When I was looking I found it quite useful lookng at the IPCC website and to get some views from the NIPCC website.
It allows you to at least make some judgements yourself rather than just being led by one view.

Happy reading.

Question the logic. Create some paramaters for your assignment. State your assumptions. Then do the research.
1. Is Global warming real? If so how would i prove it? If not what would prove it is not real?
2. What is the relationship with Al Gore losing the election to George Bush and global warming starting almost immediately after.
3. What were the temperatures 200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000 Years ago (there are no records so this is a stumbling block to any assignment. Short term variations in anything are not reliable as evidence. Global warming is using short term evidence to prove its point. Be careful how you assess this.
4. The ice caps are not melting? Check research to prove this
5. Most of the predictions of the Global warming exponents are proven to have not happened.
6. Calculate the mass of Ice at the north and south poles, make allowance for Canada, Russia, Iceland and Greenland and see how much water in volume you will have then see if that was spread across the oceans how much would it increase the water level in inches. (dont worry about feet because there is not enough ice if melted to increase even on foot on the oceans
7. Look at the constitution of the air. How much is Co2 and how much of that is man made?
8. Look at the effect of a massive volcanic eruption on the climate. We have had a lot in the last 20 years. See how much the gasses may have affected the climate from natural reactions of nature
9. Ask the question "what if the climate warms up" "Is this good or bad for mankind" "Ask some people if they prefer warm or cold climate" Then see if the hypothesis that climate change to a warmer climate is better for mankind stacks up?

This is just a start. There are so many more questions but your assignment will need to be kept to a specific word count.

Try fact-checking the NIPCC claims. It's an eye opener.

It's no coincidence that the NIPCC was started by the same people who were paid by the tobacco industry to create doubt about the research into the health risks of smoking.
